Hi all.

Decided I want to upgrade from my Alienware 14 and im in a bit of a dilemma as what to go for.
I've looked at various configs on scan and ************ and also msi models and some others.

Basically my budget is around £1300

I want:

15.6 or 17.3 screen
i7
ssd
8GB ram
970m or 980m if doable

The gpu is my next query. Is the 980m worth the upgrade over the 970m or would I be best just using the cash I'd save on a bigger ssd or more ram.

These are a few I've been looking at.

Thanks. I'm still undecided. I've been looking at GIGABYTE P35X v3 as well. I'm more torn as to get a 970 or 980 gpu
 
Thanks for the replies so far. It's a tough choice. I'll look into both models today and try and decide lol.
 
So it's the P35x or the G72. Having a hard time deciding I really am. Any owners of either want to chip in here lol.
 
I am quite desperate to bite the bullet so will be buying one in the next week or so. Tbh they both look great machines for gaming so I'm sure I won't be disappointed. I currently have an Alienware 14 with a 765m and was impressed with that.
 
I've been looking at the G751JY and can't find it in stock anywhere? Is it discontinued? I heard the gsync version will be announced soon. I'm still really torn what to go for. Has anyone any experience with the clevo builds ************.
 
Yep I'm definitely torn between the G72 and P35x. The G72 has the edge as it's within my budget and the P35x is now £200 over my budget. If I could get that for £1500 or lower I'd swing that way.
 
Still undecided I really am. I've decided on a 980m so now it's coming down to which has the best screen for my budget (£1500)
 
I start thinking 4k screens and then think why as I won't be able to play games on ultra. Then I'm thinking gsync. Grrrr this is seriously hard work for me lol
 
Not yet mate. I know it's either going to be the P35x or the G72. Just trying to decide whether it's worth the extra outlay for the new models.
 
Yeah I ideally want a bigger screen and the keyboard are definite plus points. The G72 would be bought elsewhere though were it's a little bit cheaper :)
