0 angelmg86 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I don't suggest anything Lenovo. I've never had this much difficulty with service and support...let alone issues with the laptop. They may seem like a bang for your buck...but in the long run you'll realize spending a little less means a lot more of a headache! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 jcagara08 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 2013 Macbook Pro with Intel Iris Pro + DIY eGPU Sonnet III 3d TB2 + GTX 780 SLI = WIN!Agree much?Anyone ditto on my idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 loki Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 need some help.should I upgrade my y400[gt 750m] to Sli or just go for a new laptop with gtx 860m ?Since there's not much different in terms of performance as far as I know.

0 Ruuke Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I really hope Alienware brings back the m18x platform. I'd love to get one with 980m SLI and HDMI-Input (sad they removed it this gen of m17x). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
