Hi, I'm new to the Alienware community as well as gaming laptops.
I received a quote from a Dell rep for the following:
1 Alienware 17 Base
340-ABEU
1 Documentation, English
370-AANN
1 16GB Dual Channel DDR3L at 1600MHz
408-BBBV
1 256GB mSATA SSD Boot + 1TB 5400RPM SATA 6Gb/s
429-AAFS
1 Slot-Loading Dual Layer Blu-ray Reader (BD-ROM, DVDRW, CD-RW)
490-BBGQ
1 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M with 4GB GDDR5
619-ACMQ
1 Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, English
658-BBOD
1 Broadcom 4352 Driver
954-4175
1 Dell Hardware Warranty Plus On-Site Service, Initial Year
954-4207
1 In-Home Service after Remote Diagnosis, Parts and Labor On-Site Response, Initial Year
994-3730
1 Warranty Support, Initial Year
950-9797
1 No Warranty, Year 2 and 3
338-BCHW 1 4th Generation Intel Core i7-4900MQ Processor (Overlocked, 8MB Cache, up to 4.0GHz w/ Turbo Boost)
391-BBEM 1 17.3 inch (439.42 mm) WLED FHD (1920 x 1080) Anti-Glare Display
Price after tax is about $3,080, but after discounts it is around $2,750.
I was wondering is it recommended that I get extended warranty? And if so, how many years would you recommend.
Also, I'm not quite too sure what the difference is between 2TB RAID 0 (2x1TB 5400RPM) + 80GB mSATA SSD Cachin VS. 256GB mSATA SSD Boot + 1TB 5400RPM SATA 6Gb/s.
Only reason why I chose the 256GB mSATA is because it was only an additional $50 at the time I configured my machine, but now it is an extra $150.
Will this machine be able to play games that are available now and also 3-4 years in the future?
Thanks!
