Which of these gaming laptops will run better,

[jdgordon1]

I'm looking at the ASUS ROG GL551JW-DS71 and the Dell Alienware 13 laptops. Which of these could run more games? Which could handle higher settings? Which is all around a better computer in your opinion?

Had the Asus N551 and it had very poor quality. Made an RMA on it. Dont buy their GL, N or G line of laptops.
Not only me had problems, many other had too so overall very bad quality. Dont be fooled by the metal body.

So what laptop would you recommend? Budget is around $1000

Lenovo Y50 would be my recommendation but if you can, buy a desktop. Battery is horrible on all gaming laptops and you will end up always having it plugged in on your desk. Gaming laptops are overpriced and deliver bad performance unless you spend several thousands of dollars. I just got a 1000 dollar gaming desktop and I will never look back to laptops again due to their performance and upgrade ability which will be cheaper for your wallet in the long run. Don't buy a gaming notebook unless you really really really need that portability which compromises with so many things.

I was planning on building a pc, but I travel a lot, and I can't really bring a pc with me everywhere. In case I get decide not to build one, any desktops you'd recommend?

Try to get someone else to build it for you as prebuilt desktops tend to have the cheapest parts. If you cant do that though, I would look over the Asus ROG G20 or the HP Phoenix.
