Hi guys, it's me again.
I was thinking about to buy alienware m17x r4 but my question is:
Will he run games like Crysis 3 and "Battlefield 4" using his own configuration, and with 7970m

Thanks.

Its just crazy fast as far as response time, they take some time to get used to, but once you get used to a high dpi mouse, your targeting is much faster compared to ther peoples.

well the Zowie Ec1 black was designed by a former counter strike pro Emil “HeatoN” Christensen so it has the approval of a FPS legend :)

personally i havent used a more comfortable mouse than the ec1 black. i used razer death adder, logitech g9x, steelseries sensei and a few others.

however i do like the loud solid clicks of the deathadder

Naga isn't designed for MMO? Is he good for fps and tps too?

The Naga series is designed for MMO's, but I play BF3 and Bops2 very well, infact, the side buttons work very well for quick things like weapon swaps or grenades and the like.

I just bought an m17x r4 like new condition off ebay -- i7 3720qm -- 8gb ram -- 256gb ssd -- 750gb hdd -- 7970m -- all for $1500.
Awesome deal, and I think people bash alienware to much, I came from my custom built desktop with a i52500k -- gtx 680 with a triple monitor Nvidia surround setup. So I know best of both worlds, and I can say alienware is worth it ....*IF* you search for a deal, don't settle for brand new overpricing. Alienware has awesome solid build, and the features are pretty cool. Most people just like to bash alienware because they like to go with the flow of enthusiasts.

Just my point of view, always gotta have at least one person not bashing alienware :)

(I'm not a fanboy in anyway either, I have a laptop now because I have started to travle a lot. haha)



Nah those are actually overpriced, the 670 is still fermi based, and it isn't kepler, just a remake of the 570. Gotta get the 670MX for true kepler, and those aren't even found in the asus lineup.




Unless of course you actually look around on ebay or someother website besides the retailers. :)

Guys my dad is going to the US and he will be there until 21th january... Dell sucks but I really want the crap of alienware... It's my choice. Was trying to buy and that's what I saw: "estimated ship date 22 Jan 2013" - I was actually getting m18x

Nice thing... And was talking to a customer he said that alienware customized will be there later than 22th...

I'm going to be in a hotel in Las Vegas do you guys please know another place that I can get him until 21 january? (I prefer until 20) another site that I can get and deliver in hotel? any place? and if I can't get him the way I want can you guys say me a good place to buy him online or in physical stores in Las Vegas ?

Thanks guys. I'm really disapointed at dell... but It's my choice

Budget arround $2700 (less is better , ofc haha)

Will be great with these specs but can be without them:
Killer Wireless 1103
Crossfire 7970m (this is actually needed have to be with this)
i7 3630QM or more
Windows 8 will be great but can be with Windows 7
HD 750GB or more
8GB ram
Space Black Anodized Aluminium
and I'd love to personalize the plate but if I can't it's ok
