What is better for school and gaming a 15 inch Macbook pro or a Alienware laptop?

I've had one bad experience with AW, which is I bought one and the fan was DOA. Not to say all AWs are bad, but...

When I was looking for a gaming mac I couldn't find one in a reasonable price range even though they can be a lot better. I decided on a Gateway 7801u, which does everything I want, although I do need a couple of cheap fans to keep it cool.
 
Macbooks run Macintosh which is useless for gaming. They also cost more than they should and have substandard components which is also a big no no for gaming.

Alienware are some of the best pre-built gaming PC's you can get in terms of quality and power, but they cost about the same as a Mac. They also run Windows which is really your only option for gaming unless your an advanced Linux user (which I doubt you are, very few people are).

My money is on Alienware if you can afford it, but you could get a decent Toshiba or MSI laptop with similar specs for less money. Shop around and find the best prices, it'll be worth your time!
