Alienware Graphics Amplifier ... as if a great video card wasn't enough. When home, plug this to the laptop... here's what it is:
Plug in. Buckle up: Supercharge your at-home gaming with the Alienware Graphics Amplifier. Simply plug in the Alienware 15, reboot and enjoy a fully expanded desktop experience – supported graphics cards from AMD or NVIDIA® that result in up to a 4K experience, multiple-monitor display and more connectivity with a built-in 4-port USB 3.0 hub. You can also attach as many extra monitors as the graphics card and outputs in your Alienware Amplifier will allow.

2 hard drives - 128GB M.2 SATA 6Gb/s SSD (Boot) + 1TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s

Logitech G933 Artemis Spectrum Wireless Headphones

But the part that sucks? It's for the boy, not me!! :laugh: But when I did the ordering (had to manually configure what you want), I snuck in the headphones above for myself! :coffee: This computer is gonna be sweet, but all I care about is the headphones.

It's your birthday. Give the kid a hand-me-down and tell him to be happy about it...

I let him borrow my laptop about 2 years ago. A VERY decent Toshiba laptop. Long story short? He brought it home in pieces, literally. That was the end of MY laptop. Now HE gets a replacement? WTF? How does that happen?

Apparently, I get HIS hand me downs. :(

Got me beat on the Vid Card... 965m here.

That GTX 980 is very nice, under heavy load playing Ark with all settings on max a buddy was getting 20 fps better than I was.

It's actually the NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 970M with 3GB GDDR5. If I wanted to go to the next, which would in fact be the 980m - it's another $600. That must be a helluva card!!
