Hi, Bros

Just saw the unbox of MSI GT72 6QE from another thread. It's really attractive to me, but I also cant refuse Alienware 17 R3.

Anyone can give me more info or suggestion about these 2 beasts? Normally I spend lots of time playing FPS game or GTA 5 ( hope to play with full performance) or other heavy games. Which is better choice??

If you know where is having promotion for these 2, it is even better!!

Thank you guys~~~~~

I'd say MSI GT72 6QE is better than Alienware this round.

MSI GT72 have a MXM slot which allow to you to perform future upgrade.

Copied this from Alienware group in fb... first look seem good... waiting for my fanatic frens in sg to giv me their report...

PS : when dell dun put as pre configured spec but as customake options.. it's not comfortable to me...personally hv some bad experience wif a few customake spec..

Hmm....then i better go for MSI? At least GT72 has better CPU, right?

How is thermal for both models?

Alienware do hv options for i7-6820hk... cooling wise both same la... Alienware way better service

no. not all GT72 is MXM base

Ya ka?

We ordered not less than 10 units of new Alienware and ETA is 3rd week November 2015.

Btw, all Machine now uses DDR4 and highest spec 6820

Which GT 72 is not MXM base?

base on the info when msi first launch it's first GT72, especially the Gtx970m model is not.

I don't think so. The soldered is the CPU. GT72 always have a soldered CPU.
But GPU is always MXM.

i do know cpu is soldered. For GPU wise the info is base on msi punya lady. maybe MSI can clarify this?

The lady see you handsome, trying to give you false information so that you will go back to her next time.

dellteam told me so la... 3rd week nov n dec different alot meh....u order so many ma.. we order back to back. sure kena bully la...

u try order 1 unit n see wat date they tell u...

i wan order inspiron 7559 they tell me only 4% discount... even 100 units...boh fair
