Why not get ASUS G Series gaming laptop ? Sure it doesn't have the brand appeal of Alienware but you get a lot more bang for your buck .

^^lemme check! how is this config of m14x??

Have a look at Macbooks pro, its pretty good.
BTW Alienware is good too.

Gaming on mac will be a problem!
Asus looks bleak in comparison to Alienware.
Any other options?
Will there be any region compatibility issues with the DVD drive?
