If you have budget, go for MSI GT series, at least you can upgrade your hardware when you feel your laptop is outdated. GE's graphics card is soldered on the motherboard and you will have to replace the whole laptop when your laptop is outdated. So, which is more "save" in terms of money?

But also keep in mind the cost of MXM gc.. it cost quite a lot.. and mostly need to pre-order.. about rm2.3k for a gtx980m ? lol

Haha... is true about the cost, if every time user want to be in "top of the line" like upgrade GC as soon as the new GC release. But I still think is cheaper than buy a new laptop.

Yea.. indeed the repair cost is cheaper.. But I still in doubt whether a old model laptop cooling system still can support a new high end gc.. haha Just my one sense lar..

Surprisingly due to our human intelligence, new GC always run cooler and have better performance compare with old one.

Haha.. yea.. and the price keep increase also.. But I want to ask, all MXM version of gc is same size ? So no need to worry about the size doesn't fit in the laptop case right ? cause PC got a lot of problem on the gc size

Althought their card is MXM, but normal MXM can't fit in their laptop. The rest is same. As long as MXM III Type B, they are same. Nowadays MXM III Type B is most common. Old days like Acer (8 years ago), they use MXM II even in low end laptop. That time I bought a Acer 4710G, Self upgrade AMD HD2400m->Nvidia 8600m GS->AMD HD3650m Which PC got a lot of problem on the GC size?

When building RIG, a lot ppl didn't measure their casing size and the gc size.. cause PC gc got a lot of variant.. Reference and non reference.. non reference got a lot and all different in size.. and also not all mobo can fit in the card you want.. so measurement in building PC is very crucial.. lol

Get Alienware with the Graphic Amplifiers if you want future proof.

QUOTE(ErgoProxi @ Feb 3 2015, 08:46 PM) Is the Graphic Amplifier compatible with other than the latest Alienware? Or a better a question, will it stay? I don't think so, coz it requires a special connector only available on the new ones. Will it stay? I don't get that part.
