And I have a query will the Alienware support a graphics amplifier?

They are both very good laptops but I have heard better things about the msi.

 

[Chendoor]

Both bring exceptional performance to the table, but I believe the cost of Alienware is more than that of the MSI. Also, the processor in MSI (4720HQ) is little bit better than Alienware's 4710HQ. The difference is not much. And yes, Alienware supports Graphics Amplifier.

To see how GTX 970M performs with a graphics amplifier, goto

Go for msi gt72 it is cheaper than Alienware has better hdd better processor
And if you want performance then go sager np9773s or np9773
And if you want to upgrade your laptop in future go for msi gt 80 2qc titan sli gtx 980m sli or gtx 970m sli version
And if you want portability then go for msi gs30 shadow with gaming dock when removed from the dock it will run on intel iris pro 5200 and when you dock it it will use gpu in the dock and the great thing is that you can fit any desktop gpu like you can put desktop version of gtx 970 and if want very much power you can also fit titan x in it
