I M SWITCHING from ALIENWARE to RAZER.

[Alienware Gamer ALX]

IS IT good ?

 

[dave_the_nerd]

It's no worse than Alienware.

 

[corkyg]

It might necessitate a user name change. 🙂

 

[DaveSimmons]

> IS IT good ?

Shouldn't you ask that before you declare that you are switching? Too late now 🙂

More seriously, why? What hardware are you thinking of buying? Have you looked at high-end custom prebuilt companies like Puget Systems?

i took it for granted, but at second thought, probably it s unnecessary:

a User called Alienware Gamer using Razer, is less biased by his brand 🙂

and i m always a fan of the old Alienware products, they re just on a higher level

You sure it was his?

no need to reply because you obviously had a lot of Razer and old Alienware products to test, and you explained perfectly you experience with em

Alienware used to be a bit of a thing long ago before Dell bought them I suppose.

Not sure I'd brag about it personally, but it is a brand name like Razer.

I've not even looked at Puget in a very long time, if your going to pay someone else to build your rig they used to build good ones, still do I imagine.

Puget it s different from Alienware and Razer, you can t compare em.
i like some ASUS PCs too, you can compare em to Alienware and Razer, but not Puget, they re different.


btw, tnx for your suggestion 🙂


edit, i noticed many users are writing about desktop pcs, i don t care about desktop, i m talking about Laptops with RAZER CORE (external desktop gpu enclosure). i already have a titanxp for it

OK - thread is therefore moved to correct forum./

So what are you looking for in a laptop? Giving no details at all isn't going to give you too much serious help. AFAIK, Dell (Alienware) and Razor both make good products.

tnx for the opinion!
i need :

- hi-contrast hi-quality 4k display (not a common 4k screen,the best possible img quality)(i don t care if brightness is low btw)
- the best possible external gpu support (i already have a titanxp for it)

 

[DaveSimmons]

Does it really need to be a laptop?

Get an i7-7700K desktop instead, put the Titan X inside it, and buy a nice 4K monitor. Then pick up some ultrabook for carrying around and not gaming.

i already have desktop gaming pcs (my gpu is inside one of em)

and ultrabooks too

So you want a laptop with external GPU support, that can then turn around and actually display on the internal LCD screen? Is that even possible? (Some sort of Lucid Virtua MVP-esque solution?)

I'm rather curious if such a thing is even possible. I thought that laptops using external GPUs were also using external screens.

Edit: I could see that potentially working one of two ways. Either a physical video-input / loopback port, that you would run an output cable from one of the external GPU's outputs, back into the laptop, OR;
a software solution, where the internal LCD was driven by the internal GPU, and a software driver copied the contents of the framebuffer every frame from the external GPU to the internal GPU's display framebuffer.

 

[DaveSimmons]

It also seems a little pointless when you can get laptops with built in 1070s and 1080s, especially if you already own gaming desktop(s) and light non-gaming laptop(s). I suppose if you want to own "one of everything" then you need a desktop, laptop, gaming laptop, and laptop with connector for external gaming card. Collect the set!

from Alienware Graphics amplifier (pciexpress cable to external enclosure , needs reboot to use external gpu) to Razer Core (TB3 driver conversion, can use external gpu without reboot, performance loss due to conversion)

the problem is that i can t use my desktops, so i find myself using all the day only 2 small 13" and 14" inch laptops, while my desktop pcs (with titanxp),my triple monitor setup, 3 imacs 5k, 1tv 70" with ps4pro,1tv 60" with xbox one ... aren t used at all.

 

[DaveSimmons]

So why not a laptop with a built-in GTX 1080?

sure, it s ok for me

he asked: "So what are you looking for in a laptop? "

my reply:

- the best possible external gpu support (i already have a titanxp for it)

i can take a laptop with gtx 1080 or 1060, i don t care a lot about it
