Hey Guys,
So I've been back and forth between these two laptops which both cost 2199.99 CAD.
Since I've been unable to decide, what do you guys think would be a better laptop, I'm just looking for something that will last me a few years and would be able to run every game on high settings, and medium would be fine.
Is the alienware sufficient or for the price go with the Asus?
