Is very depend on your budget, If you really want a gaming or high-performance GAMING laptop, I personally still prefer ASUS ROG, come to quality and history MSI still away far from them. Actually, Alianwear is good, of cos computer in school or UNI always lousy because of mess user, but when coming to personal use it will be good because is under control. Perhaps alianwear is far away too pricey, so come to medium price range still ROG. Don't waste money to buy a non-professional gaming hardware brand MSI. It keeps mention NO1 gaming, just go and see the market share and history before it shouts too loud.

sorry for MSI supporter, please correct me if i am wrong.

Every user has different after sales service experience. My POV, the popularity of a brand, award that brand received can show how good is the brand is.
