Alienware vs MSI

[Tarun Chowdhary]

I am looking into 2 laptops

1: Alienware with 4gb 980m
2:MSI with 8gb 980m

I dont care about price. Alienware has a touch screen and good looks where as MSI has better graphics.

how is the build quality of these laptops?
Also heard that MSI doesn't have a good screen compared to alienware.
I AM teared apart by these . I want a good looking laptop that can run crysis and gta5.
THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Personally I have never used any of these machines but this is what I have heard.
Msi is generally preferred to dell as they are better for value for money as dell overprices their products. The msi will have the advantage in games as it has more vram but if 8 is really needed I don't know as I never play a game past medium settings.

Also a touchscreen is not very useful in a gaming laptop as you use a mouse and the keyboard and the size of the screen makes it very difficult to use as it is large. Another point is that the screen will have to have very stiff hinges which increases the weight of the laptop which may not be an issue for a gaming laptop but it is increase weight for something that you are never going to use. Finally, touch screen laptops are generally more expensive which is not worth your money as it can be spent for upgrading the internals of the laptop to make it more future proof.
