Alienware laptops were also rebranded Clevos until they got bought by Dell. Now they're rebranded Dells. Twice the weight, twice the price, big flashy alien skull, and that's about it. Build quality is perfectly fine for Sagers, and if the "defective keyboards" bother you, you can just swap with a better one. Not to mention the keyboard on an AW I used a while back so uneven it felt like rubbing a camel's back.
