Looking for light, sleek, gaming laptop. Needs to be portable for school.

I'm stuck between the Razer Blade 2015 and the Alienware 13 Inch.

I don't like how the Razer Blade only had a 512 GB SS drive. I don't want to plug in an external hard drive whenever I want to play games. Also I heard this laptop runs really hot, and the fans get really loud.

The Alienware laptop doesn't have that great of a graphics card.

I don't know. Which would you go with? Are there any other options?
 
I don't have an opinion on either laptop since they are not laptops I would buy anyway. But looking at Alienware 13 on Dell's website there isn't an option to upgrade to anything larger than a 512GB SSD / 500GB HDD.
 


What laptop would you recommend? I would like to have as much battery life as possible and to keep it as light as possible.
 


I'd definitely go with the New Razer Blade gaming laptop over the Alienware. If you're looking for something more quiet and still sleek which won't burn your "private parts", you may want to consider the Asus Zenbook Pro -- it's not as powerful, but it's still pretty damn good.
