I'm going to buy a new laptop and I want to know which one you guys think I should buy, out of macbook, dell mini 9 with 32gb or 64gb SDD, (and I install mac os x the mini 9), alienware alien-51 m15 (I might install mac os x on it). I love mac os x but I would want to be able to play games on it, I also like small laptops. So I don't know which one to buy.

Thanks
 
Hold on you're comparing a MacBook, a Dell mini and an Alienware gaming machine?

You won't be playing many games on a Dell mini, nor will the Alienware be small, so I guess go for the MacBook.
 
You're comparing things that are completely different. The Dell Mini is a netbook and the Alienware is a monster. You can't possibly play games on a Dell Mini and the Alienware isn't that small. It's 15". I don't even know whether you can install Mac OS X on the Alienware, but you can install it on a Dell Mini. If you install it on the Dell... you'll run into some issues and you're breaking the EULA. I would get the MacBook. It fits your needs.
 
B. a Mac is the best solution for running Mac OS
