They all look fine but you need to figure out what's more important to you.  Will you use the camera a lot, so the HD is a big plus?  If you're going to mine BTC, even for fun, you'll want the Radeon.

Personally, I wouldn't mine anything on a laptop due to heat issues but that's just me.

Yeah I agree you wouldn't want to push a laptop too hard or for too long with mining.  Maybee just a little for fun

Alienware. You can actually mine on it:)

Well I know Alienware has a bunch of bad reviews and is overpriced but it looks great and it works wonderfully for me!

Although, you can get the same hardware for cheaper? Don't pay for the brand, pay for the actual hardware, Function over fashion. I disagree paying higher prices because of the brand, I'm sure others feel this way and the brand is meaningless.

I will choose this one. You can do CPU mining and Scrypt mining.

Get a laptop fan, if you are using your laptop to mine. Just a USB fan will do.

This is how I feel about Apple products; Alienware seems to be the same way, they prey on people who don't really know what they're looking for in a PC, and so charge a premium with the promise that it's high-end.

Then again, building a PC from scratch isn't for everyone :P  So perhaps the price is a better investment than their time.

That's true. People may not have the time for building their PC. But, I would recommend it to anyone who is serious about having a decent computer. I refuse to purchase apple products. They are praying on people because they know people are status craving monkeys. I keep seeing everywhere talking about their iphone and apple products like they are better than anything made.

I also don't believe in buying the most powerful computer you can afford just to browse just get the computer which fit your needs.

(You can always get someone to assemble the computer parts for you remember if you are unsure how too)

what are you even using it for? mining? browsing porn? where will be you be using it? at home, on the toilet? school? work?

you need to give a lot more information when asking for recommendations.

The best thing to do would be buy these parts separately. And pay someone to assemble it, if you dont know how.

what? they custom assemble laptops for you? that would cost quite a bit, and each laptop chassis is designed uniquely.

In the latest msi GTxx laptops i noticed that it would be more expensive for me to buy the parts separately then to just order from newegg

I was looking at the was the gt60 2OC  has the gtx 770m

if i was you i would choose the acer second option, why? 17.3 inch is a big screen so you dont have to hunch yourself,
It has a very fast 3.4 Ghz Geforce 750 is a good graphics card probably the best one out of three .

if i was you i would get second, but i am different from a lot of people, you may not like it, so dont take my word for it.

In the end, to be happy you should choose what you want, dont ask us.
