Hey guys, I'm quite interested in buying an Alienware laptop, but was wondering when the newer R5 will be coming out, incase I purchase an R4 and then the newer one comes out a few weeks later..

Also, how future proof are these laptops?
 
I would hazard a guess on a release date around April - May, if you get one with the gtx 680 or 7970 gfx card i would say it would be future proof for a good while. Technology is moving so fast these days its hard to tell how future proof a system would be but the above cards are the top 2 available at the moment and the only way to beat them is to buy the m18x and have a dual setup.

Im pretty certain there will be a design upgrade on the r5 but if your not used to having an m17x like me there shouldn't really be a problem, ive recently got one and i love the design as its new to me. If you want for the newest thing that comes out all the time you'll be waiting forever.
