Gaming laptop

[SwordsMaster]

Wow, with the nvidia 680 the sager puts me well over the 2k USD... Is the difference in performance worth the 500$? Did anyone give it a bash?

Also, what would be the difference between Sager and the likes of Alienware (aside from the bling factor)? I had considered the M14x, but I'm aware of 'paying for the brand' and simply am interested in performance rather than whether i have a glowing alien face on my laptop.

Stuck. Need help. Suggestions?

Pretty much the same price:
