Good morning everyone, I am a Cloud Architect/Software Engineer. I mainly work in cloud environments like AWS and GCP with some light coding, Python and Javascript. I play games such as World of Warcraft and Assassins Creed. I understand that if I go with the Mac I can play wow fine but will struggle with other games that are not on the platform. Luckily I can play most of those on Xbox. I do like to stream video at high quality and my eyes are not the greatest. Here is what I have narrowed it down too. Almost same price, just trying to decide which would be better overall and last me the longest.

Let me just say my most recent laptop which died out of warranty and only lasted 1.5 years was an Alienware. I had been using them since they where there own company, I am disappointed in there current state.
