So i have a GL551 on order and it will be here tomorrow.
The specs are:
i7 4720HQ
16gb Ram
15" 1080 screen
1TB HDD
GTX 960m
I paid about 975 for it but am having second thoughts for this reason.
I could have gotten an alienware 13 and a graphics amp from ebay for the same price and used my gtx 780 at home
However, what has me torn is the poor CPU in the alienware and the lower end gpu
Its a dual core i5 4210U, 8gb ram and a gtx 860
The Asus would be more of a mobile gaming unit able to handle games on high with no issue. but at the same time, when im home i could use the graphics amp and going on max/ultra settings with my video card. The other concern is the weak CPU.
Should i stick with the asus or go for the smaller alienware and hope the CPU does not bottleneck me?
