Which Gaming Laptop to Buy?

I'm narrowed down my choices down to two. Lenovo y50 or Alienware 14.

The Lenovo y50 gaming laptop ($1,299.00):
Intel i7 processor
Windows 8.1
15.6" LED 1920x1080 display (TOUCH screen)
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M 2GB
8.0GB PC3-12800 DDR3L SDRAM 1600 MHz
Hybrid 1TB 5400 RPM+8GB SSHD
No optical drive

Alternatively, I can buy another model of the Lenovo y50 which DOES NOT include a touch screen, but has a 4GB nvidia graphics card and a blu-ray/DVD optical drive.

OR

Alienware 14 ($1,299.00)
Intel i7 processor
Windows 8.1
8GB memory
NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M with 2GB GDDR5
14" WLED FHD (1920 x 1080) Anti-Glare Display
500GB 5400RPM (8G SSD) Hybrid SATA 6Gb/s

I know Alienware is a bit pricey for less, but I heard it's a very good gaming brand and the build of it has some nice perks (such as choosing the colors it lights up in) and such.

Overall, which is the better choice?

1st one is mean Lenovo is best for you.

The lenovo computer is much better. Those 4 GB on the alienware won't be able to show you a difference in performance. However, the graphics card on the Lenovo is better, even if it has less GB (which really don't matter much for graphics cards anyway, unless you have none). The lenovo also has a larger hard drive, so you can store more stuff, and who uses blu-ray/DVD drives on their computer?

(If you do use a DVD drive, which most people don't, then you might want to consider the alienware, but if you have a TV I don't see why you wouldn't use that.)
