When considering strict specifications, the One K-73-5N is a clear cut victor. However, it has many design flaws making the overall experience of gaming somewhat of a hassle. Gamers know that these distractions can lead to difficult problems, and you shouldn’t have to adapt your play-style to anything.
For the best overall experience, a gaming laptop with at least a 6000 PCMark7 score is going to suit most needs. Better build quality though, belongs to manufacturers who have been in the field for a while. There are many blazingly fast laptops out there, but only a few are usable for everything. The Asus ROG and the Alienware 17 happen to be two of the few laptops very capable of gaming and just plain being.
