    These aren't really very similar to each other. Please fill out the form so we can help you with what you actually need. The Razer Blade Pro is barely a gaming laptop. A 960m is alright but your budget seems quite high. On the other hand that Alienware is a monster with a much more powerful cpu, double the ram, much more storage, and literally like 140% more graphics power. The form will help us recommend what best suits your needs.

    Not even remotely in the same arena of competition. The Alienware 18 will stomp all over the Razer, if your budget and muscles allow.
