I was wondering if it is safe to plug my Alienware 18 into a extension cord?

yes. its just a laptop charger going into the laptop. 

Well, it all depends on the wattage rating of your laptop charger and how many watts it draws, and if the extension cord you're using has a high enough wattage rating on it.

Here's the laptop charger stuff:

 

US 125V Power Cord

 

 

330W A/C Adapter

 

Not sure about the wattage on the extension cord, All I know is that I use it to power my xbox but my Alienware will be the only thing plugged into it if it is safe to do so. 

 

i plugged mine too the octopus extension cord. tbh i think it is safer in an extension becasue what if lightning or a power short hits it it should be safe as long as your not overloading the extension cord. mine is a desktop better to be safe then sorry my friend you spend all that moeny and then zap i would cry too

Normal extension cords don't do anything to help against lightning. Surge protectors do, but extension cords are sometimes iffy for high-powered things (you're not supposed to use them permanently, because of the risk of overload).

What cp said. With that said, there shouldn't be any issue to use it for a while but you should think about finding another place to position your PC, closer to an outlet. 

oh crap i feel bad i meant surge protector never plug into extension cord use surge protector

Yeah it should be safe to plug into a surge protector; if you try to draw more amperage than it's rated for, the built-in circuit breaker will cut.
