So I am looking for a bare bones laptop that I can upgrade over a couple months (I don't want to spend 2,000$ all at once, I want to spend 600$ Initially then 200-350$ every month on components).
What I would like it to support.
Dual MXM Slots
120-144hz Display
Bios Voltage Control
If it can beat this Alienware M17x benchmark (After getting Good mxm Gpu and cpu) then I will be happy. I will have at most 600$ for the barebone system (EG: Everything but cpu/gpu/ram/hdd/optical drive). I am willing to purchase used devices.
The more I can upgrade it the better. (I would take a device that comes with little to no Ram, but can be upgraded to 64gb. Over one that comes with 16gb but is maxed)
My current laptop (CPU-Z) is decent for the 250$ I paid 5 years ago.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Currently I am looking to get my hands on an Alienware M17x, However I have been having trouble finding one.
