Okay, gang...the moment of truth is here. I'm about to buy a laptop and researched it down to two finalists, listed below. They both cost roughly the same and meet my needs. But of course I'm looking for the best bang for my buck and would appreciate your opinions:
Dell Inspiron 17R Special Edition
ASUS G75VW-AH71 (click link here-->> [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Republic-Gamers-G75VW-AS71-17-3-Inch-Gaming/dp/B007MW73C2?SubscriptionId=AKIAIDGULFCX2Q4ADRYQ&lin kCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B 007MW73C2&tag=page0b-20"]ASUS G75VW-AH71[/ame] ) (IMPORTANT NOTE: Before you compare specs, click the Windows 8 box on this page. It changes the specs a bit...like 8 GB memory instead of 16 GB for Windows 7. But I am going with Windows 8. And please don't get into a 7 vs. 8 debate here. I'm going with 8...period.

Come on now...I'm ready to light the fuse! Which one is better?
