Laptop purchase question

[Yukihira]

Is the  Alienware M14X R2 still a viable purchase in 2018?

How much would it cost you to buy it?
What do you plan on doing with it (viable for what)?

No

Reason is that this laptop has GT 650M with 384 cuda cores. I have a PC GTX 650 TI with 768 cuda cores (double the performance) and I'm not using it anymore for modern gaming. It will struggle with the 1080p lowest settings in older games and won't run most of the new ones at all.

Not at all, you can find a Laptop with GTX 1050/i7-7700hq/1080p IPS at that price.
