Asus or Alienware?

[josh7331]

Alright I'll be buying a laptop soon and here's what I need it to do.

1. Play SWTOR
2. Play APB on atleast medium
3. Play Guild Wars 2
4. Play Diable 3

That is about it. I have pretty much narrowed it down to 2 laptops I am able to get.

I am able to get the alienware m11x with these specs

Intel® Core™2 Duo SU7300 1.3GHz (3MB Cache)
4GB Dual Channel DDR3 at 800MHz
160GB SATAII 5,400RPM
Bluetooth Module, 2.1+ Enhanced Data Rate
1GB NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 335M
11.6-inch WideHD 1366x768 (720p) WLED
Internal High-Definition Surround Sound Audio (5.1)
Alienware M11x a/b/g/n 2x2 MIMO Wireless
Integrated 10/100 Network Interface Card
1.3MP Web Cam

Or I can get this

I love asus products, I am unsure of the build quality of alienware, I would like this laptop to last me 2 years of most mmorpg's.

The only reason I am able to buy the alienware is due to the monthly payments option, 12 months if paid in full no interest.


Which would you choose and why? Thanks in advance

i dont think you want THAT asus for gaming.. that's a "netbook" with an atom cpu.. yeah, it has ION graphics but that's more for video playback (particularly h264 or high def videos).. it's not gonna game well..

if it was between THESE two only, the alienware would kill..
