Difficulties with Alienware 18 laptop and Oculus Rift

Hi everybody, Has anyone had any luck getting an Oculus Rift (DK2) up and running on an Alienware laptop? From reading around online, I gather this can be problematic. I have a powerful Alienware 18 and can't believe that it's impossible to use a Rift. Any advice very gratefully received. My specs are: Memory- 8GB DDR3L at 1600MHz (2x4G); Graphics- Dual NVIDIA GeForce GTX 880M with 8GB GDDR5 - NVIDIA SLI Enabled; Processor- 4th Generation Intel Core i7-4810MQ Processor, Quad Core, 6MB Cache, up 3.8GHz. Thanks!
