Just ordered my laptop this past week. It's gonna be my first laptop besides netbooks/tablets ect. Usually build my pc's for gaming so I do have some questions. Look forward to speaking with everyone. First here is the laptop I ordered
18.4 inch wled pls 350 display
Over clocked intel haswell i7-4930MX (4.3ghz)
32 gig ddr3L ram
Dual nvidia GTX 780M w 4gig gddr5 Sli
512GB msata SSD boot + 750GB 7200Rpm sata
Slot loading dual layer bLu-ray drive
330 watt ac adapter
Ok here are a few questions I hope some of you can answer for me
1- my last pc had a i7-990x , 12gigs ram and 2- GTX 580 extreme lightening edition 3gig cards in sli. It ran every game out there at max settings. Maybe had to slightly lower some AA but thats it. Will this laptop give me atleast similar performance? I only ask because I have heard the mobile versions of video cards do not perform on par with their big brothers, or atleast they used to not to . Has anyone seen the 780M in action? Sli?
2- how does the screen look? Its tough when your ordering online and not seeing it in person. Also they only offered the one option for the screen when I ordered.
3- will I have room for a third hard drive? I have two hard drives and a bLu-ray drive. I have seen others with 4 hard drives and no bLu-ray which leads me to believe there should be 4 slots available.
4- this is my main concern. The laptop comes with a 330 watt power supply. On another website where you can build basically the same laptop as mine (a Eurocomm) but it offers the following option
:660 W(2 x 330W) ac adapter, auto switching; 100-240V converter box(for maximum XTU/OC/SLI performance)
If it has the same specs as mine does that mean that the Alienware is going to run slow on low power becaus it's not getting the right amount of juice? If so can we buy the bigger power supply and will it work? I'm hoping the 330 is enough because if not they should at least offer it as a option.
Thanks for your help in advance. Sorry for so many questions. I'm just waiting and waiting and it feels like its taking forever to get here and it's only been a few days. Lol
