Q: hey guys just got Alienware - 15.6" Laptop - Intel Core i7 - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 but planning to exchange with MSI - 17.3" Laptop - Intel Core i7 - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce 1070 which one is better????

A: As a very happy and satisfied owner of a new MSI -17.3 Laptop I wont say which is better per se but I will tell you I am very happy with MY decision to go with MSI. First though the one and so far ONLY drawback I have is that my MSI doesn't have a CD drive so if you need one your going to have to get an external. Other than that My MSI boots up fast, runs cool, plays the games I want it to play at speeds that I can't complain about. I bought the GE72MVR Apache Pro, got the extended warranty just in case, bought the Office download and a new case to go with it and I love everything about it. I was thinking about alienware but I did some research and MSI kept coming up as the top notch brand, I have a coworker that uses one at the office and was impressed by what I saw, now as a owner I can fully understand and appreciate why. Either way best wishes in your decision.

Q: Is there any way to upgrade the solid state drive up to 500GB?

A: From the videos I watched you can upgrade the drive, I haven't done it myself yet. The videos said this is an easy laptop to upgrade memory on just not the cpu or graphics card do to the fact both those items are soldered on.

Q: Does this laptop have a webcam and microphone built in?

A: Yes on webcam. No on microphone.

Q: I bought this computer but it only runs Csgo at 100 frames, rust at a constant 50 frames, and pubg at 40 frames. Is there something wrong with it is there a default? Or should this $1800 laptop run these games at better frame rates?

A: Some games I was told cap the FPS. I ran 118 on Crysis the other day, and 115 on Star Wars Battlefront 2. Most games have a lock of 30 or 60 as a default setting. What you can do, is go into the NVidia GeForce Experience Settings for the game, and try to see if there is an option to adjust that there.

Q: Can I upgrade the SSD?

A: Yes you can upgrade the SSD. It ships with a 2280 SSD card. You can use SATA or NVMe as the replacement, it also has slots for additional 2280 and a smaller 2242 or 2260 depending on revision of laptop.

Q: Is the RAM upgradable on this laptop?

A: Yes the ram is upgradable upto 64GB

Q: Can I install a 3rd hard drive on the supposedly empty cd/dvd slot in the motherboard via hard drive caddy adapter?

A: You will not be able to add a third drive for two reasons. The first being that there is no optical drive on this unit to begin with. This leads into the second reason, which is that this laptop does not have any additional SATA ports available. You are more than welcome to upgrade any of the existing drives or use external drives!

Q: What games can you stream on this laptop that will go well while streaming.

A: This laptop is capable of streaming any game as it's equipped with a GTX 1070 and an i7-7700HQ. The main limiter is the internet speed and so depending on how fast the internet is, it will determine what quality the video will be to viewers. Nvidia Shadowplay can be used to record or stream games at little to cost to performance.
