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~~~~~

IMHO, when comparing the two your choice should be MSI (and not just because i'm a fanboy..lols)

Both are high end notebooks but the MSI GT72 comes with more gaming features, including better audio, and support for higher end PCI-E SSD's.

One thing to note is which GPU is Alienware using as the MSI GT72 comes with the newer 'desktop graphics' grade GTX980M with 8GB GDDR5 RAM instead of only 4GB on the Alienware.

Nvidia made an announcement about this new GPU and Dell/Alienware wasn't one of the listed brands able to support this.

MSI vs AW, really very hard to choose

specs lebih kurang, but what is that MSI G-sync? anyone know that?

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.

Is GTX980, is without the "M" word.

But it is not the GT72 that mentioned by TS.

Is the New GT72 which haven't release yet.

without "m"

u mean laptop come with desktop graphic card?  

G sync is new tech from Nvidia to reduce screen tearing.
Last time VSync will limit the FPS to the monitor refresh rate. G sync using another method.
AMD also come out another one called Free sync.

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

Summoning storm88... ur Alienware arrived de?
