Alienware is the exact same thing as Dell. It's just their name for their gaming line. Every PC offered by DELL is locked.

Grantofhell Fully Optimized Messages 3,762 Jan 7, 2010 #37 If it's an unlocked BIOS, I'll call it a 7/10. I'm not a fan for Dell's strictly because of their presence in the system.
