QUOTE(GreaseMonkey90 @ Feb 3 2015, 12:12 PM) After the AMA session with the GM of Alienware, there will be no MXM GPUs or DT CPUs in the near future. Therefore, if this information is important to you, you can switch to a clevo. thanks for the information. there are too many issues in aw gpu upgrades.QUOTE(e_mc_square @ Feb 3 2015, 12:55 PM) Or MSI lol hell no clevo is much better although it's called a hair dryer   QUOTE(GreaseMonkey90 @ Feb 3 2015, 01:37 PM) Already found my AW18 replacement but still trying to choose which 3 I should get next. nice, but maybe you wanna wait for a refresh, especially the one with x79. (this one is a damn heavy beast). for the one with mobile cpu (2x gpu), there is still no m.2 slots for pcie ssd. (well maybe there will not be one with m.2 slots i am not sure yet) there are already new models with z97 chip (1x gpu).http://www.eurocom.com/ec/configure(1,224,0)ec http://www.eurocom.com/ec/configure(1,253,0)ec http://www.eurocom.com/ec/configure(1,245,0)ec http://clevo.com/clevo_prodetail.asp?id=752&lang=en http://clevo.com/clevo_prodetail.asp?id=762&lang=en |

QUOTE(e_mc_square @ Feb 2 2015, 11:42 PM) Your game killer GTX980M is not working properly with AW18. Alienware 18 Intel Core i7 4930XM | GTX780M SLi | 16GB 1600MHz RAM | Samsang 840 Pro 256GB | Seagate Momentus Hybrid 750GB | 120GB Crucial mSATA OS |Bluray Reader | Bigfoot Networks Killer™ Wireless-N 1202 | Still not enough? Your's just upgrade to GTX 980m then is almost same spec. as the Eurocom (Clevo) one already right? 1. BIOS is locked 2. Needs UEFI so I need win8/8.1 3. It throttles if I add inside In order for it to work properly, AW needs to release a new unlocked BIOS with Maxwell support. |

Starcraft 2, FPS games.... and some video and photo editingNo Alienware 13 is too good for you. You should get cheaper one. Anyway, just tell us your requirement like what you want to do with the laptop. My main concern is cooling Is the Alienware 13 cooling better than Inspirion 14 7000? or save some bucks and get the Inspirion? |

Alienware 13 thicker, also dual fan. I think Alienware 13 cooling better. Because Inspiron 14's thin form factor cooling will be a big limitation. Inspiron come with GTX 850m right? Alienware 13's GTX 860m is much more powerful. |
