    Hi, I was thinking about buying one of these two Alienware model. For upgrading GPU sake, which model you think would be better in term of GPU upgrading and better in performance. As we know that Alienware 17 could be upgraded internal GPU, only R1 2013 model one which make it likely exclusively or Alienware 15 with graphic ampler. What I mean with AW17 R1 I could upgrade internal GPU and CPU. But for AW15, only external GPU by using Graphic Amplier, so my question here, which model should I get in term of priority GPU upgrading? Thanks.
