HI, My 1st thread.
I am stuck deciding whether to purchase an origin eon15-s or an alienware M14x both with pretty much standard, default settings. They each cost just over £900 each and the only significant difference is that the alienware has a larger screen and slightly better resolution, all other differences are minor to my knowledge but please inform if i've missed anything. I would appreciate an explanation of your opinion of each laptop.
Thanks in advance

You would have to build both of them at similar specs and compare, since both of them offer customization of the model.

Its not so much the specs that are an issue, but how good the company is, the sturdiness of the laptop, the reliability, heat etc as the specs are so similar as ive built them .

EoS-

Company - Large hardcore gaming company built by gamers for gamers
Sturdiness- mostly metal casings, using 3rd party (Like ASUS etc;) parts
Reliaility- I'd say about 95% successrate
Heat- They get pretty hot, but you're getting the fastest components at the highest OC's.

Alienware
Comany- It's Dell, as much as you can expect from a large scale company
Sturdiness- Uses Dell OEM parts, plastic manufacturing, flashy lights (Woo!)
Reliability- OC's okay, but alot of stupid things like USB ports end up breaking, 80% success rate
Heat- quiet and cool, but not as high OC's.
