I made a post before but no one answered haha, so i kept doing research on laptops and finally narrowed down to 2 options.

My first option is the Alienware 14
it has a geforce GT 750m and a screen resolution of 1366 x 768
Core I7 4700MQ
8gb ram
7200rpm HDD

from the looks of it seems to be of better quality on the outside than the MSI, my problem is the weak gpu, but the resolution is small maybe it does not has problems at that resolution. And has a stronger CPU and faster HDD too, maybe it makes ups with that?? I dont now haha

My second option is the MSI GE70 Apache
NVIDIA Geforce GTX860M with 2GB GDDR5 VRAM a much stronger gpu and a resolution of 1080p
core i5 4200H
8gb ram
5400 rpm HDD

the laptop looks cool, but I feel the alienware is of better quality, but this one has a much stronger gpu and a bigger resolution, but weaker CPU and HDD. The Alienware also seems to be a little bit more portable, I go a lot to friends houses, but I just dont know which one to pick

I come from a gaming desktop, but i haven't had much time to be on my house, and its a pain to travel with that one.

which one should I pick??

help me out please I dont know that much about laptops and im about to throw my HP laptop through the window

Thx for the reply, you know, its not just about the performance, I want to feel the quality on the laptop, I dont want to feel im handling my HP laptop but with better specs. I just found this one http://www.amazon.com/Alienware-ALW14-2500sLV-14-Inch-Laptop/dp/B00IMUAYRY/ref=sr_1_5?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1401859607&sr=1-5&keywords=alienware

I know its alienware, but a friend of mine has an alienware and it looks and feels fantastic, this one has a GTX 765m, core I5 4200M, 8GB RAM, 1TB Hard drive and a 80gb SSD in a 14" laptop, what do you think?
