The i7 and 970m alienware 15inch is currently on sale for $1500, the 4k version is a extra $200+ are either worth it , do alienware break easily. Personally i have never had a problem with dell but i am hearing some horrer stories.

There's 19 games there ....turn the page.....the 970 is still 55% faster than the 970M and the 970 can't do 60 fps on..... 18 of them....only 5 break 40 fps. Are all these games unoptimized too ? Now consider that the 970M is less than 2/3 as fast. That puts 14 outta 19 games < 30 fps

When i customized one it was 1,700 dollars and with a glossy screen allthough it did have 4k.
 
So looks like the same price before discount but without any no name components. Did you call to see how much your discount would be ?



A GTX 970 desktop card can't handle 4k
