Hey guys,

Looking at purchasing an Alienware 15R2 (March 2016) model, has the 970 and i7 hq 6700 16gb ddr 4 2133mhz ram, etc....

Poster advertised for 1k, said he's flexible on price... Is this machine worth say 800-900?

I've read mixed reviews, and also that its not smart to buy a gaming machine without the new 1060+ line...Anyfeedback! Thank you :)
