Choosing a Gaming Laptop

[saedo]

I would like something portable to lug on the road with me and be able to play games at relatively high settings. Games like Mass Effect 3, Tomb Raider, Skyrim, Sleeping Dogs, Bioshock Infinite, etc.

I think I've narrowed it down to a couple choices.

MSI GT60 2OC-022US
i7-4700MQ
8GB RAM
1TB HDD
DVD+/-RW
15.6in FHD
GeForce GTX 770M
Win 8

Alienware M14
I7 4700MQ
8GB RAM
750GB HDD
GT750M 1GB
Windows 7
1080P

Appreciate opinions and advice on this.

Of the two I'd go with the Alienware, MSI seems to have QC issues with everything and laptops are no different....You might look at some of the similar Asus laptops

Specs wise the MSI is going to be quite a bit better as the GTX 770M is significantly faster than the GT 750m.

Brand wise, I think they are about even. Both MSI and Dell (Ailenware) are known for having some issues with quality.

If I were you, I would get this:
