Alienware is okay. However, its very overpriced. Stay away from apple. Overpriced and underpowered for gaming. Razer can be costly too. MSI is another good company, but their beefy products can be pricey. ASUS and Lenovo are decent entry level gaming laptops. I have a Lenovo Y510p and it works well for games. Personally, I'd recommend the Lenovo Y50. Its got an excellent GPU, up to 4k screen, nice Intel processor, etc. Ultimately its up to you to spend the money, but I'd recommend buying a solid state drive to go with your laptop. Hope this helps. -KN
