Alienware 13 or 15?

[Tenvis]

Hello guys, I'm having a debate in my mind in which to buy.

Im looking for a portable yet very handy laptop. Well, from the 2 choices above. What do you guys recommend? The 13 with a 1366x768 reso and 860M or the 15 with a 1920x1080 reso and 965m?

Neither, Alienware laptops have been known to have many issues, and are all round over priced and low quality. Go for something else.

Well, I was into a bargain. I know how they suck at most but a friend of mine offered me these laptops, brand new in fact, for like 75% of their prices. All are base specs. He has an Alienware 18, M11X R3, and an X51(HTPC). He sells these for 675$ and 900$ consecutively. So yeah, Its a bargain. And yes, He's a close friend of mine and knows I need a laptop.

The Alienware 18, M11X R3, for example is 4 years old. It's not worth much these days. 600 is probably too much. the x51 is 3 years old. It's also dropped in value a lot. Each year is a big drop in value. So no, not so much a bargain. I'm no longer in a computer store for a few years, so i will admit i can't tell you the exact value of both of them.

Well what I said was, My friend already has an Alienware 18 R1 (The latest 18 inch edition) and an M11X R3 and X51, That is why he doesnt need the Alienware 13 and 15.

Im looking over for this bargain because I travel a lot and I do want smaller packages but the point of asking is that, Is it better to go 13 or 15 for the portability without sacrificing its performance.
