Be careful buying Intel 14th gen CPUs Half failures rates. I would just skip this gen altogether. Some failures reported on 13th Gen too.

If anything, the current Raptor Lake fiasco is a good reason to go with a mainline OEM and negates a lot of the benefits of going with a gaming motherboard with a bunch of overclocking and power limit controls…

Gigabyte has an exceptionally horrendous implementation of the Baseline Profile that results in huge performance losses but the same doesn't seem true of other vendors.

Do you mean the 10% sign up bonus? If so, is it possible to use another one on the same account? Long story short, I purchased an R15 using the sign up 10% off code recently but had to return it due to BSOD.

Quote from Ozzforester :
Depends on your ram assignment per VM * number of vms. 64 would be minimum imo

You can get by nicely with 32gb, no doubt. But it does depend what loads the vm will have. It's like asking do you need 16 or 32gb . Depends

Exaggerated. YouTubers and tech media need to make mountains out of mow hills. And fwiw it does effect 13th gen too.

What do you think is a better deal? This or the R15 with the 4090 recently?

Stability in games, power draw, and risk of fire are generally relevant when buying a pre-built or building a custom rig. Do more research.
"research" hahaha. Reading some articles/forums and watching a few videos isn't research. Unless you are in a lab doing actual "research", I highly doubt you've done yours.

No, Dell does NOT make good products and CONSTANTLY has thermal issues with their higher end models such as this. If you have proof that this doesn't have thermal issues, please post it, but at this point people should really just be looking at this as a issue until proven otherwise.
As an owner of a R16 with a 4090, all I can say is this thing runs cool and absolutely silent. Maybe the old gen Alienwares had issues but this one certainly does not.
