Need help to choose between 3 Gaming Laptops

The three laptops are:

- Alienware 17 R3
- Alienware 17 R2
- Asus ROG Strix GL502
* If you have any other laptop suggestions, please let me know

I am currently leaning towards the Strix because I will mostly use the laptop for school and I will be moving around a lot.

I will be buying from websites that deliver to NZ, and so far I know of Ebay, HIDevolution and ExcaliberPC. If you know other websites that sell to NZ, let me know as well.
