Whats one should i get

Or could it be that the tests were done with 295drivers when the 300drivers are made for 600series cards or chips.

the 6970m overtakes 670 but the cpu is better in the Toshiba.

Edit done some research and found that the 670 performance lacked due to diffrent driver settings it all depends on what the driver is verson ect the tests were done with the 295 drivers where 300 drivers are made for 600series. So probley get the Toshiba.

But let me know what you guys think.

The Toshiba definitely sounds like a better deal, and without even looking it up I can tell its a new model. The Samsung on the other hand appears to be an old model. Although I am biased toward AMD graphics, even I would choose the Toshiba

Considering the price of this:

17.3" Screen
1920 x 1080 Screen Resolution
3rd Generation Intel Core i7-3720qm 3.6ghz CPU
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675M with 2GB Graphics Memory

and the fact it's 'Alienware' brand, that commands a price premium, and is selling for $2997, it may represent better value for money. Admittedly some things aren't as good on in (only 64GB SSD, 8GB RAM). This one has a faster CPU and better graphics than either of those you listed though... plus you can haggle a bit at JB's, you might be able to get a bit off.
