I was planning on getting a gaming laptop and I came across an ad for an Alienware M18x R2 with the following specs:
i7 3610QM
Gtx 680m Sli (I think these are the 2GB versions of the 680m)
24gb DDR3 RAM
500gb hdd
2x1 tb samsung
128gb msata samsung
dvd rom
1920-1200 full hd led
The guy is selling this laptop for around $1700. My question is: Is the laptop worth it for that price? Please keep in mind that I plan to use it for gaming for the next couple of years and I have doubts about both the processor and how the 680m with 2GB of vram is going to perform over that time interval.
The other option would be to get a newer Alienware 17 with a single 780m and a 4930xm processor but this setup (probably) costs at least $2000.
Thanks in advance.
