Used to have a laptop, back to desktop again, they die so fast

Get a razer blade. xD

Razer is hyped up a bit too much. Not worth the cost for the performance you get.

I'm considering an upgradeable unit, such as the Sager NP9752-S. It comes with Z97 chipset, supporting the 4790K desktop processor, and has a GTX 980M with 8GB's VRAM. From the review a friend of my posted on YouTube, it has monster heat sinks and keeps the laptop at very nice temperatures. The sacrifice with that is mobility. It's quite a hefty laptop. So, I'm not sure I want it...

EDIT: There are also rumors going around that the next generation of graphics will not support the current socket type. So, "upgradeable" machines will not be of any benefit, lol.

For how expensive it is, you won't find anything with those kind of stats that is that small, which is the only reason I like it for a laptop.

There are some Gigabyte laptops (new ones) that are similar, but lesser quality. I'm not really looking for something like that, though.

I heard it gets pretty warm, and is quite loud while gaming. How are the temps?

I got me a Alienware M17x R4

Bought the basic option from them and upgraded everything myself after market, I like how easy then made it to open up and service/change hardware.

been solid for the last few years that I have owned it and the LED keyboard is always fun.


Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3720QM CPU @ 2.60GHz

32 GB RAM 1866 mhz

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M

Intel HD 4000 integrated

Corsair Neutron GTX SSD 480gb

Killer Wireless-N

I used to have one of those. Veteran Alienware owner myself.

I found that the 660m overheats and dies fairly quickly on alienwares.

[J.Dre]

The 660M is prone to failure, yes. I've owned the M17x R4 with the 680M and 3D screen. It was great.

He can always upgrade. The 680M is very cost-friendly now.
