Im stuck between these two laptops. The specs are almost the same however the Lenovo is cheaper and has a more powerful processor but i do like how the Alienware model looks . Give me your opinion. I'm going to do some gaming and lots of media based stuff. I know these 2 models are more than enough but i just want to blow some money on a good laptop and not have to worry about getting a new one for years to come. Specs Below

I'll go with the IdeaPad. Better processor speed and memory.

Get the first one, Alienware tends to be over priced anyway.

Depends, if you REALLY LIKE TO GAME, then choose the Alienware, although it has a small screen.

If I were you i'll choose the Lenovo since its a 14 inch display, features sandy bridge i7 and has good graphics.

I think Alienware is too overpriced for it's own good. The Lenovo is cheaper and has better specs. Lenovo all the way.

I personally have chosen the Alienware M11x as my work computer and it does a great job at what I need it for. But I would choose the Lenova, the Alienware laptop heats up very badly without a cooling pad, and the quality of Alienware seems to have gone down. I am having a constant issue with the monitors hinge breaking from minimal use. It looks cool but not very functionable
