[g171819]

Hello Guys, I can not decide between refurbished Alienware m17x R2,HD 5870 (RGB display) vs a brand new Asus ROG G771JW.The Alienware is a store sample and it has a price advantage of $300 - other specs on it: i7-620M, 2.66-3.33GHz, 4MB L2 paired with ATI HD 5870 and 8 GB of RAM. Asus ROG G771: IPS Display, Core i7-4720HQ 2.60GHz/3.60GHz paired with GTX 960M and again 8 GB RAM.Appreciate your help and thanks in advance.

Buy the Asus, much newer components, more powerful CPU, more powerful GPU.
