    Which one of these is better for gaming (their performance). I'm not asking if the money spent on the laptop can be used to build a better PC. I'm asking which one would perform better and why.

    Kind of an odd question.. that's like comparing an apple to a orange. IMO a desktop can't be directly compared to a laptop.

    Also, if you want to know which core is faster and better for the money etc. There's plenty of websites out there that'll do just that.

    http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare...K/m34954vs3503

    http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i...-Core-i5-6600K

    etc. maybe do a little research, get a feel for both of your options through customer reviews etc rather than relying on your friendly neighborhood rune-server pc guru

    thanks doe.

    Is that for the i-6500 HQ or KK?

    You should only buy a laptop if you know you need one - like if you travel a lot and need to take your computer with you and need gaming on the go. Otherwise, a desktop will basically always be better in every single way.

    You can of course get laptops that are better than desktops, but it would still cost more than a desktop.

    It took me less than two seconds after opening the link to decide. Alienware beats the other by quite a bit, although the price difference between the two is drastical. Performance wise, no doubt AW.

    Look at the main specifications, the most important ones of them are..
    Processor
    Graphics card
    Memory (RAM)
    The rest is secondary, not as important and costs far less (Although the motherboard too is quite important here but I couldn't see much information on it so I'll leave it out).

    Let's compare them then..
    AW --- Custom build.

    Processor:
    Intel Core i7-6700HQ 3,4GHz --- Intel Core i5-6500 3.2GHz; Both quad-core so I'll leave that part undescribed here. As you can tell, AW has the newer type processor, i7, which is better than the older type i5. Also, AW has a little more GHz than the other one.
    Graphics card:
    Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB --- Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 3GB OC (Meaning it cannot be overclocked any further, whereas AW probably can). As you can tell from the numbers itself, AW has twice the amount of GPU RAM, which is significantly more.
    Memory (RAM):
    16GB --- 8GB DDR4-2133 (I couldn't see the specifications on AW on RAM but it's not that important in this case, plus AW has always been superb in making computers so it's going to be at least even in the mhz part). AW has twice the amount of ram.


    As you can tell, AW beats the other one by a mile in the important factors (CPU and GPU being the most important parts here, also the most expensive parts).

    In this case, yes, but at the same time it is likely more expensive.

    You seem to be very set in stone between these two PCs - why are you limiting yourself to only two PCs to choose from?

    But the Intel Core i7-6700HQ 3,4GHz IS a HQ processor whereas the i5-6500 is a KK processor(this is why im asking).

    Thanks!

    Look at YT reviews for the alienware, because laptops are generally not good when it comes to staying cool and not overheating when playing hard games
