    The second one, but tell me why are you looking at laptops with so little RAM if you are going to be using it for gaming? 2GB is not much at all! There are some games that require 3GB combined with Windows. You should have a minimum of 3GB but preferred 4GB or higher.

    For gaming I would go for high end desktop first choice. Of the laptops, both are bare minimum game machines. To get a good gaming machine in a laptop the price will be over $1,000 USD. Of the two listed I would pick the first laptop. The Mac, Alien, and Asus are made in the same factory in China. Alien is own by Dell. Mac do get virus attacks, I have clean couple Macs. Both owners believe they were home free without any anti-virus protection. Google Foxconn on more information about the company which makes over 40% of the computers and other 60% purchase sub-parts for their computers. I own Asus and very please with it performance.
