What kind of computer for college?

[apav]

Hello peoples, new here and I'll be going away to college in the fall and I'm so excited! I need a new laptop for college but I've heard from a lot of people that macs are just exceptional for every field now, and I will be an International Business major.

I was looking at this pc:
ASUS G73JH-A1 - XOTIC PC - ASUS Gaming Laptop

and the flagship 17" macbook pro for my mac:
Apple - MacBook Pro - Meet the new MacBook Pro family.

I know there are many differences between what each are used for. I figured that even though the Asus is built for gaming, and I want to game when I have time off, it would also be able to run any program or multiple programs exceptionally well.

But then there's the mac, who could go wrong with a mac, I hear it is widely accepted now as the standard laptop in most fields. However, the specs of the macbook seem inferior to the Asus, and for a higher cost. I know macs are not great for gaming, but I don't mind if I go without the games, its just a side hobby.

I want your opinion on this, which do you think I should get? What would be better for my field and has performance? Thanks in advance I look forward for your reply.

Then have a look at MSI GX640(XoticPC has one), its a great 15" laptop with 3-4hrs of battery life
