    Hey,

    So I'm pretty sure I'm going to get an alienware 14 but I have a couple questions. Here are the specs:

    4th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-4700MQ processor (6MB Cache, up to 3.4GHz)
    8GB Dual Channel DDR3L at 1600MHz
    NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 765M with 2GB GDDR5

    I'm also getting the 1080p screen with blu-ray so I was wondering if anyone could tell me how blu-ray movies look on the screen. The other thing I was wondering is about the 765m. I know it's not the greatest card and won't play the newest games for long but there are two games I really want to be able to play and that is the elder scrolls online and the witcher 3. I've already been told I should be good for ESO but what about the Witcher 3? I know it's a long way off till release but any guesses?

    Thanks,

    Phil

    Great specifications for what you want. I suggest you go for it. I don't own an AW 14, but I heard the 1080p screen is amazing for a 14" laptop.

    +1 to this. It seems like a lovely setup for what you need.
