What's better MacBook Pro or Alienware?

[xXlakratoXx]

Then what should I buy for a gaming laptop instead of mac or alienware? I need a laptop not a desktop because it has to be portable, so what would you suggest me?

or you could try to dig one out of newegg.com

 

Thanks for your post but I think about what laptop I should get but the mac book pro is definitely out from my selection so there are the Asus and the Alienware.

Because I wanna buy the laptop from ebay I need to be an official brand like Sony, Asus,...

not custom made ones where you can choose the processors, graphic card etc. like Battalion

Alienware isn't very expensive in ebay I found some m17x sold for $800 with nvidia gtx 430m, intel core 2 2x2.91, bluray 8GB Ram

That's cheap for a gamer laptop.

Both are nasty.

 

Sager ftw! But unfortunately they don't come with the flashy flashy lights like the Alienwares/Dells.

This is what I would suggest too. I bought a Sager NP8170-S1 a couple of months ago. It can play every game I've tried on the highest graphics, and hasn't any major problems at all. I would definitely suggest you take a look at Sager.

 

Edit: And I did buy it from XoticPC. No troubles with them at all.

I decided myself for the Sager thank you very much for ur opinions but one last question: for gaming is a quad core w/ 1.6 GHz or dual core 2.5 GHz better?

[yoba333]

I would go with the quad core.. From what I read, clock speed isn't as important as having more cores...

I wouldn't exactly count myself as an expert on this matter though.

ahhh no god no.

 

dual core 2.5 GHz all the way. 1.6ghz is far to slow for gaming even with 4 cores. Other than that alienware laptops are made for gaming and macs are not, it's as simple as that.

[Draakon]

It depends on what CPUs we are talking about. You just can't say that a 2,5 GHZ dual core is better then 1,8 GHZ quad core. If xXlakratoXx would enlighten on what CPUs hes talking about, I can tell which one is better.

Do you think i could play BF3 and otehr high resolution games on it?

[Draakon]

No one can say for certain what you need to play BF3 even on lowest, but don't bother getting a laptop for gaming. For the same amount of money as that laptop, you will have a 2x better desktop computer that you don't need to upgrade it for 2 years at least.
