I'm planning to buy a new laptop since my current PC(Lenovo U430) is kind of slow when it comes to gaming and video editing. My current budget is $1,000 to $1,500, after researching, I'm planning to buy one of these brands: Alienware 13 inch(latest model) or Macbook Pro 13 inch(with retina display) only.Question: Which brand or model should I be buying that is compatible and worth it for a little gaming, graphic design, video editing(no lagging while editing or checking the video preview in After Effects or Premiere Pro) with my current budget? Aliewanre or Macbook?Here's the link to Alienware 13 inch list of models: http://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/productdetails/alienware-13-laptop?~ck=mnHere's the link to Macbook Pro 13 inch list of models: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/searchpage.jsp?st=macbook+pro+retina+display+13&_dyncharset=UTF-8&id=pcat17071&type=page&sc=Global&cp=1&nrp=&sp=&qp=&list=n&af=true&iht=y&usc=All+Categories&ks=960&keys=keysComment your answer with the link or the brand and specs of the model.Thank you very much !

For overall OUT OF THE BOX compatibility you are going to be better off going with a PC. Performance wise comparing the two you will get the following benefits of the base model Alienware laptop over the MacBook.1) Faster Processor2) Larger HDD3) Much better video card (the MacBook only has Intel Iris integrated video)4) $100 Less expensive with reward card rebateAll of these items are using the base model Alienware laptop that you provided a link for.  With the extra money you could add some more power or featurs or move up the next model.
