Alright, So I just came across a large sum of money through my inheritance. I spend most of my day on my computer gaming and doing photoshop and other things. I plan on buying a alienware. I am not sure which to get though. Money is not a issue and I want a laptop in case I go some where I can take it with me so please don't try to convince me to buy a desktop or to buy a different company. I am dead set on alienware. Anyways my issue is I am currently stuck between 2 builds for the alienware 18. They have the following....
Or
Money is not the issue, I really want the 2nd one but it says "Optical Drive Not included" while the first one has one but has lower specs. My question is would I be able to add a drive to it? or should I just go for the cheaper one and lower specs with the drive already in it. Keep in mind also that I spend a average of 10-15 hours a day on my computer, I like to play games in max settings. Would the lower price and lower specs hinder me?
