Hey there!
I thought I might drop my review in here to help anyone who is looking at possibly getting the Alienware Area 51 R2 desktop.
Review link here.
Note, in the description, there's a link to all the benchmark data if you're interested in the tests I did. I did three per test to...
Thought I'd drop this in here for anyone who is curious about the Alienware 13 R2. Note, the cable linking the amplifier and laptop is a proprietary cable.
My full in-depth review video is here. (Includes: overview of products, opinions based on user experience, and benchmark testing.) If...
I don't use a laptop to game personally. I normally build my own PC and I've been fortunate to always be able to play on max graphics on every game. =P
I hope you enjoy the review. Let me know if you still have any questions after watching it. (It should cover everything though.)

Thanks! Yeah, that's why I think it's really a product for someone looking for a desktop replacement. If you have a desktop...
Thought I'd drop this in here for anyone who is curious about the Alienware 15 R2 with the optional Graphics Amplifier as it's an interesting concept. Note, the cable linking the amplifier and laptop is a proprietary cable.
It's really pricey, and for those of us who prefer to build our own...
