or

I can get both at the same exact price :)  and this is my limit

I know from the specs side the MSI is better, but I feel more into the Alienware, specially that I am using the laptop for college.
I am a bigger fan of dual heatsink than one only ( I've heard that your house will turn into an airport when the MSI fans are working ).
The Alienware beats it in shape. and I can change the GPU in the future ( although I don't know how, but I will find tutorials for sure ).
I don't have any experience in laptops, since I have always been a desktop user, and I need this for college since I will be studying abroad.
My most use of it will be for Dota2, Photoshop, Lightroom, and some video editing soft-wares ( Vegas, AE, Premier, etc...).
I need the laptop to survive ( for like 5-7 years ).
So guys, what do you think ?


( I know you might feel I am a fanboy of Alienware but I am not, I just like it more )

The Dragon Edition also has support for Super RAID 2 if you're interested in that. Alienware probably has better cooling, but tends to cost more than the competition, largely, due to the name.

I think the MSI is a better value, and the 780M - as byogamingpc mentioned - is noticeably better than the 770M.
