    If you connect a display to one of the new Alienware laptops my understanding is that if the display supports gsync it will work. Is this correct or will external gsync displays only work correctly when you also have a "gsync" laptop version which have the built in gsync displays.

    If the External Display has the required Gsync "module" , Gsync will work irrespective of the laptop having or not having Gsync.
