yeah the storage capacity is sufficient; what i mean is 2242; a rare one in retail markets.

for ram, yes 32gb is an overkill to most people, but i will go for 64gb for my next laptop.

So this aw 17 compare to illegear, aw 17 more high resell value?

I saw it website stated m.2 is pcie not Sata.. so is it true?

I notice light bleed on my AW17 FHD IPS panel at bottom right corner, I'm sure it is not IPS glow as it is really consistent in all angle. Really annoying for me when I do dark graphical work and really need really good color accuracy.

I suppose I can always call Dell to replace my monitor until my warranty expires right?

Nvme ssd

This is the first time I've come across people choosing laptops based on its "resale value". It's a computer la... not a car...

Possible to upgrade aw 15 r2's gtx 980 to gtx 1080?

Gpu soldered, impossible to upgrade

Then, the only solution is graphic amplifier. But it's so expensive.

sell your current laptop and get the money, top up to buy latest gen

mmm amp quite expensive somemore very hard to get

and guys.. i remember my seller said, even the gc to soldered to mobo... he still can upgrade the gpu for me if i want... he said on paper only they say new alienware cant be upgradable... it is worth trying?

and guys 1 more noob question.. should i upgrade my bios? what is bios for actually?

AW 13 R2 4599 @ Lazada, worth buying?

No, it is a dual-core CPU. right?

yes... and just 2GB VRAM. I think you get what you pay for

any news on 13r3

I'm also waiting for the local MSRP. Planning to pop in an Intel 600p SSD (or MyDigitalSSD BPX if anyone carries it into Malaysia) into the second PCI-E slot.

yes you can. however a better option for you is to use an external monitor of your choice. much easier to replace.

usually this means dell will swaps your current mobo with another one that has the gpu of your choice. this should be an upgrade service provided by dell.

other than the above, it's better don't go for it.

bios is a program/firmware resided in mobo that lets operating systems to recognize and make use of hardware it connects to (cpu, ram, intel chipset, hdd, ssd, keyboard, mouse, gpu, etc. essentially every hardware component in your computer)

if your system is stable, you can opt for not doing it. however, it's a simple process. as long as you follow instructions as is, you will be fine.

with that money you can get new mainstream laptops that perform much much better.

Today my Alienware R17 R3 is unable to power on after numerous attempts.
Bought on July 2016, just use for 5 months!!

Alienware quality so poor!?

Tried to call Dell Tech Support, but found out their call centre only works Mon - Sat.
