Wellcome to my thread :)

Im looking at thiese 2 laptops i would like ask which one would you take for free (or absolutely the same price)
Im hoping you are a gamer like myself 😀

Laptop 1
MSI GT Series GT80 Titan SLI-009 Gaming Laptop 4th Generation Intel Core i7 4980HQ (2.80 GHz) 24 GB Memory 1 TB HDD 256 GB SSD NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M SLI 16 GB GDDR5 18.4" Windows 8.1 64-Bit

Laptop 2
Dell AlienWare Gaming Laptop 17R2 i7 4910HQ 3.50GHz 16Gb 1TB+500Gb SSD GTX 980
Im thinking this is one of the desktop 980s that can go into laptops if its not
Than plz compare the first with a laptop that has the desktop 980 :)

Thank you for your help
 
If and when i replace my laptop is will be a MSI GT series again. Bought a GT60 3 years ago and is till rocking strong as the day i bought it. Been through many TSA checks and lots heavy weekend gaming sessions, tired of packing my desktop for lan parties.
 
Thank you for the suggestions :)

To reply i already have a gaming pc with great specs 😉
Thise are not overpriced my mothers company has connections with factories selling thiese particular products and i can get 1 for as little as 400$ 😉

I will buy the msi one i dont really like sli but i can always just disable 1 of the gpus 😛
I just wish they would give 1 with the desktop 980 but shouldnt be too insatiable right 😀
