Help for which laptop to buy :))!!!

[MarckV23]

Hey guys,, i have been looking and reading the last 2 days all over the internet for finding out what to do,
i just wanna tell you a little about my situation before i start..
I have a macbook pro mid 2012 13" , i then just got the Call of duty ghost and i was founding out my mac is not able to run it because of the RAM and the graphic card, so in the start i was wondering if i just should upgrade it, but i kind of ran away from that idea cause it just seems easyier to buy a new laptop…. My problem and question is now that i have read and searched the last 2 days non stop on the internet cause i am a true rookie to computers and i am really bad to it , and i don't have any knowledge about it at all, and everybody online have some kind of opinion for what is the best gaming pc, so i had just made this profile for hope for you guys help and expertise…

Im a boy that travels a lot so i need it to be a laptop even i know that they're expensive gamer computers.. i also want the computer to run smoothly and run all the games i wanna, also in the future, i have a link on a alienware and a macbook pro i have thought about buying for my new laptop, but as i was saying i don't have a clue, so i was really hoping you guys could help me ..

Here is the link for the alienware the one that i thought about was the one for 1.799$. http://www.dell.com/us/p/alienware-17/pd.aspx

Here is the link for the macbook pro : http://www.dba.dk/macbook-pro-15-retina-27/id-1004637238/

i do know that the mac in this link is used but its the same one i was thinking about just from new, i know its not on english but i couldn't find one with same specs on english so hope you can read the specs in it anyway..
The big question for a million is now, Guys… Which laptop is the freaking best for gaming and normal use and which one will you guys have chosen if you was making the choice…… I also have in my mind that the macbook is a lot thinner and do not weight the same as the alienware does,,,, but i really need your help on this one guys.. Thanks for your time !

Well, to start off NEVER get a mac with the intention of gaming on it. And are you sure it has to be a laptop? While gaming laptops are cool and all, all you end up getting is a 17 inch 10lb space heater that has a battery life of about an hour, so...

ANYWAY, alienware is a good brand, despite being overpriced. Other good brands are Origin and Sager, among others.

The only thing is i travel a lot , so i need a laptop no matter what even that i know its shit gaming on .. and if alienware is overpriced , and i wanna buy the perfect computer for now and future for both gaming and normal use, do you have any specific recommendations ?

This ones a bit over your budget but it's the best laptop out there at the moment:

But if you want something more reasonable than get this and customize to fit your budget.

Ok, you're probably gonna get a lot of replies similar to mine, but here goes. I saw that you travel a lot, but a custom pc would perform a lot better and would be a lot more bang for your buck. Most of the content on this site is focused on building PCs, so you can easily read up and learn the build for you. But if you are insistent on buying a laptop, then I wouldn't go for the Mac. As some one stated earlier, Macs just aren't built for gaming. The Alienware, on the other hand, is a good computer, but all Alienware products are extremely overpriced.

In conclusion, I would definitely build a PC. You can build a custom one for less than the Alienware that will perform the same, or even better. If you absolutely want to buy a laptop, I would go with the Alienware, mainly because it was specifically made for gaming. But put serious thought into wether or not you want to dish out all that cash for something inferior to a PC.

Thanks guys, you really helped me a lot ! i still got a couple of questions though :s ..
As i can read you would prefer to build your own .. if thats what I'm gonna do , does the brand have anything to say ? or just the specs that i am gotta get in it ? And is there any guide or something for building your own cause i just see many options with no clue what to take for a gaming pc

Well yes the brand does matter but we can't make any descisions without knowing your budget

All your concern is about the laptop's decent gaming ability for any modern games, search for terms like GTX 760M, GTX 765M, GTX 770M, GTX 780M in sites like Amazon or Newegg. They are the top-tier mobile GPUs currently available and will run any games without any problem. Then you will be able to narrow down your favorites based on your budget, weight, brand name, etc. If they have similar specs, go for the newer one - new features would eventually pay off. If you narrow down to two to three models, then search reviews for those models and do a thorough research. Good luck!
