Not if you consider size its not.ASUS all the way and Alienware is ugly as shit and over priced
You try carrying around a 17inch Asus. It fucking sucks- Mine has turned more or less into a desktop.
Fucking gaming laptops!?!

There is a big difference between "laptop" and "portable". I don't even see them as laptops anymore if they're desktop replacements. It's just not the same thing. No one's expecting anyone to lug around a 17"-18" Alienware or whatever, they're just too heavy to be effectively mobile on a day-to-day basis.
Not sure about OP, but I bought a desktop replacement because I was tired of building gaming boxes and had the money to spare, plus I used to go to LAN parties a lot more than I do now.
Either way, his budget is 1300-1400. I still say ASUS all the way.

Then get the 15 " wtf? If you want a portable gaming system that can run what ever you want you have to quit being a pussy. And yes i do have to lug around desktop replacements and its not an issue for me at all. Didnt realize moving around 8-10 lb bag was so difficult for some people, holy fuck. How do some of you move groceries when you go shopping
Oh I forgot to mention, I've been banging around a 400 dollar asus laptop I picked up about a year and a half ago.. Still kickin ass.. Now you know why I want the gaming laptop lol.. I should have clarified this wasn't for everyday travel. It was for a mobilish Desktop replacement.. So I do want the 17" screen..
Wound up getting MSI GT70 2OC-065US

Sager Notebooksare nice and less overpriced than Alienware. They are fairly configurable as well, so you can upgrade certain items instead of having to choose from pre-fab models like Asus.
Also, at least on the model I got, you could choose to get either a glossy or matte screen. Which is nice if you strongly prefer one or the other.

I will never buy a laptop to play games on again. You can only spend so much time gaming on one before the keyboard starts to get too hot from the gpu. even with a fan blowing on the computer it still sucks.
Got a Lenovo Y580 and I like it. Slim and powerful. I also put in a Samsung 840 pro 240Gig SSD in it. Runs all games (WoT, EvE, COH2) on high settings at 1920x1080 res. So far it has been a great laptop.
If I were to pick between a Asus or MSI... I would go with Asus

Bought a Sager for around $1200 two years ago. Took it to Afghanistan (not optimal conditions for a gaming laptop). Never had any issues. It is still my main gaming rig still and it plays what I want it to play. I've recommended Sager to two other buddies and both of them are very pleased.
