Never use alienware. Not sure good or not but it is under dell customer service sure good. They having promo because going to clear out stock to put out pascal gpu laptop.

i would suggest u inspiron 7559 ... the quad core perform better for ur programming n coding..

DFO i7 now RM3700 max

I got a colleague using alienware 13 in but sandy bridge model. i think display is ok. But i would recommend you buy inspiron 15 7997  or get the alienware 15 in because the processor is 4 cores. The i7 -xxxxU is dual core processor only. I sometimes frustrated using dual core laptop while using Mssql and vs2013 and some web browsing can lag sometimes.

dell factory outlet ? im not sure   but yes, dell 7559 is pretty good deal... extra money can max up  ram up to 16gb if 8gbx2.. or invest a lil bit on ssd is another alt for you.  how much is dell aw promotion? 

The asus also good i think same spec as the inspiron just have better audio, cooling and looks. Just make sure the vram is 4gb because 960m got 2gb and 4gb vram.

Never use asus laptop. But most of my friend say ok, if you go service centre. If go through shop waste time only. If dell just call they come to you.

  better get new processor instead using old unit which is pretty pricy...  4.2k.. invest in ROG.
4gb vram on gpu.... gives advantage if you using external monitor....

asus have ssd and better read/write speed compare dell. but... well, win10 loading is pretty fast too.... but in terms of service after sales, asus pretty sucks...  only for asus malaysia

i do own total 2 units ROG before... and 1 mobo, rampage 3 extreme... rma was quite long and over a month for my mobo. for ROG unit, the power adapter always spoil, only me or others, im not sure. but damn, keep spoil, but notebook itself is good, just annoying power adapter spoil...

its only unlucky me have it. others user not exp it.

why not consider MSI GL 62 ? spec and panel not bad 

No need spend so much la, get a Dell inspiron 7559 , I 5 quad core processor will do

Yes, can add m.2 ssd , that's a empty slot for it, ips panel some more

Rm 3499 included gst, retail price

I5 6300 quad core processor, 1 tb hdd , gtx 960,m gpu, Windows 10, 4gb ram, 2 years dell pro support warranty
