2 completely different Pc's with 2 completely different functions.

What do you want to do with them??
 
Definitely the Dell !

The Dell has a higher resolution screen, longer warranty, more RAM, more HDD space and so it goes :)
 
Stay away from Alienware.
Looks like a bloody christmas tree and the thing is overpriced. The days when companies like Alienware were amongst the only ones who made decent gaming notebooks are long gone, they're just riding on the curtail of the name they used to have now.
 
went for the 17R SE. Very happy with my decision, laptop is awesome.

Hell of a machine! I'd love to use one for work.

I can't understand this thing where the laptop issued has a 1366x768 screen.

WTF am I supposed to do with that?

Hire an oke to dig a hole: give him a frikken front end loader, not a garden spade :mad:
 
Funny how people dont know that Dell owns Alienware so if they say buy the dell, do they mean the Alienware or the dell?

Ontopic: The Dell Inspiron N7720 17RSE has more RAM and more HDD space, since they both have the same CPU and GPU, it would be very stupid to buy the Alienware.
