Good god, neither. They are both grossly overpriced, all your paying for is a little alien, or a little apple logo.

But it all depends on what you want this laptop to be used for. School, work, gaming?

Alienware is more of a GaMing computer .
A Mac is for browsing the web etc.

Get a desktop. A $1500 laptop is pointless, since for that money you can have a desktop with twice the power. Do you know how to build a PC? You will save money.

Go build yourself a custom desktop. It will be cheaper and the specs will be much better of either the Alienware or mac.

Well I was really just wanting a laptop that looks good for video editing and browsing..any suggestions?

Coming From Me i have nothing but alienware. its good specially with the warranty i mena they come really fast when you need help step by step and the shit is fast i have a laptop and desktop but i usually use my alienware aurora r4 total everything custom built it cost $3,750.00

Okay then I suggest you get a desktop. The only benefit of a laptop is portability, which is specifically helpful for if you have to go to school (college), or work at a business. You will save a lot of money on parts with you just build a desktop from scratch. Their are plenty of helpful members who can picks out every single part for you! Plus a desktop will be 10x better for video editing and browsing will be a lot easier.
