Hey everyone,
Friend of mine is fairly set on getting the Alienware 17 GTX970M (base model circa £1,300) with a view to then buying this Alienware Graphics Amplifier at a later date for boosting performance whilst at home.
Firstly, I'm not a fan of Alieware, so recognise I am biased here and secondly, I can't quite get my head around this Amp? You wouldn't want to lug that around with you when travelling? So why not buy higher spec laptop for combined value?
I have tried to find some alternatives and have come up with GIGABYTE P37W v3-CF1 and the MSI GS60 2QE-247UK, though the MSI is only 15.6" screen so he will probably discount that.
Anyone using the Alienware + Amp? Anyone have any views on this? What would you buy for £1,300 - £1,500ish budget?
Really appreciate any suggestions guys.
Thanks,
