    Hey there all,
    Sorry if this is a over asked question, but I am new to this forum (found it searching out good laptop deals) and I was hoping to check in and maybe validate what i think is a great deal straight from Dell.

    http://deals.dell.com/productdetail/boe

    i am looking for something with a gtx1070 gpu and i hope to pair it with a 6700hq or better due to throttling issues that i have heard, but this seems like a great deal for under 1600, there is even another config with no ssd that drops it by another 100, and i found a coupon for a additional 50$ off. Taxes sorta ruin the deal by tacking on another 100, but if anyone has some advice on this deal (additional discounts) or a better deal they found please send em my way! Thank you all !

    The 6th gen i7s overheat a lot. That's probably why they're on sale.

    Just a heads up if you really want a deal on a dell/alienware. Check the outlet area of dell. usually they run coupon codes for serious discounts on there. and they still come with 1hr MFG warrenty

    Hah, yes 1hour. You can sometimes squeeze 1 and a half hours out of them. You're busting my balls obviously I meant 1 year warranty.
