I'm thinking of either Alienware 17 with Pascal Graphics or ASUS ROG G701VI, which is definitely expensive.

The laptop I have now is an HP Envy. It was cheap, the result of zero research, and a pain from day one, especially for writing. The one before that was expensive, and I researched carefully. It was a Toshiba and a gem in terms of all around performance; however, Toshiba laptops apparently aren't what they used to be so I want a laptop for gaming.

Any thoughts on my two choices? Other suggestions?

They both offer the Nvidia GTX 1060, 1070, 1080 series video cards, so hardware specs are going to be similar. I would go to someplace like NotebookReview.com and read some reviews of each of the laptops. Alienware is now owned by Dell.

Thanks, Draclvr, I am on my way there this minute.

TLC, I am glad you love your HP Envy; I hear the newer ones are better than mine.

Draclvr mentioned that Dell now owns Alienware. Is that a bad thing?

I've had Dell desktop PCs and liked them; however, this was a while ago, at least five or six years, maybe longer.

Dell has its issues with customer service. But I think they are getting better.

I'll never buy a Dell again, I had to send my XPS in for a repair and they either lost or stole it. They then tried to send me a used one, with scratches. I had to contact the BBB for help to get them to send me a brand new one, for my missing one. hardwall
