    It comes down to what will you use the laptop for: If you are doing gaming, the Alienware wins hands down. If you are using it for business, make sure your company allows MACs to operate on their network as some do not. Next, which do you have the most experience with previously, the two OS's operate very differently, and if you are use to one and do not want to *learn* the other method, stick with what you know.
