1600x900 is low res, can you not get higher?

I'd get the Asus. Get the better GPU. 1600*900 is enough for a 14" screen, unless you do a lot of work on multiple windows side by side.

Desktop: Intel Core i7-5820K, Corsair H115i, Asus X99-Deluxe/USB 3.1, G.Skill Ripjaws4 32GB 2800MHz CL16, Zotac RTX 3070, Samsung 950 Pro 512GB in Angelbird Wings PX1, Samsung 850 EVO 1TB, 5*Seagate 12TB, Cooler Master V1200, Phanteks Enthoo Luxe, Windows 10 Pro. Phillips 328P6VUBREB, Corsair Vengeance K95 RGB Cherry MX Brown, Logitech G502 X Plus, Sennheiser HD700.

Get a better gpu because you can always connect to an external monitor and go with Asus, Alienware is terrible.

Do you really need a gaming laptop? For that amount of money you could build a pretty beastly system, with more options for upgrades, and building a computer is actually quite easy.

If you want a gaming laptop, you're better off ordering it from someone custom made for you. 1. It'll be cheaper and 2. You get what you want in it

Why not get something with the newer GPUs? I don't know your exact budget, but I know for a fact that gaming laptops exist with a GTX 765M, Haswell i7, and 15.6" 1080p screen that weigh under 6 pounds and cost under $1200... Making them better in every way than that Alienware.

If you're just comparing specs right now, I would go with the G46vw over the M14x R2, but Alienware is supposedly releasing their next-gen models June 10th, so we'll have to see what their new specs and pricing will be..

i7 not perfectly stable at 4.4.. #firstworldproblems
