Alienware is an American computer hardware subsidiary of Dell, Inc. It specializes in high-performance gaming computers, desktops, notebooks, and peripherals. The company was founded on October 24, 1996, by Nelson Gonzalez and Alex Aguila, in Miami, Florida. Alienware's products are designed to offer exceptional gaming experiences, and they are known for their unique, alien-themed aesthetic.

Alienware was established in the mid-1990s by Nelson Gonzalez and Alex Aguila, who were avid gamers with a passion for building powerful computers. Initially, the company operated under the name "Saikai of Miami, Inc.," but it was later rebranded to Alienware. The founders chose the name due to their fascination with science fiction and the extraterrestrial, themes which have heavily influenced the brand's identity and design language.

Alienware's product lineup includes gaming laptops, desktops, monitors, and accessories. Some of their popular models include the Alienware Area-51, Alienware Aurora, and Alienware m15 and m17 laptops. These products are known for their high-end specifications, including powerful processors, advanced graphics cards, and innovative cooling systems, which make them ideal for gaming and other demanding applications.

The company has also been at the forefront of introducing new technologies to the gaming market. Alienware laptops and desktops often feature customizable lighting systems, high-refresh-rate displays, and VR-ready capabilities. Their products are also known for their upgradability and distinctive, futuristic design elements.

In March 2006, Alienware was acquired by Dell, Inc. The acquisition allowed Alienware to benefit from Dell's larger supply chain and manufacturing capabilities while continuing to operate as a separate entity. This strategic move helped Alienware expand its market presence and product offerings.

While founded in Miami, Florida, Alienware's operations have since been integrated with Dell's broader infrastructure. As of recent estimates, Alienware employs around 500 people. The team is dedicated to maintaining the brand's reputation for innovation and excellence in the gaming industry.
