Order processing. We'll see if I get one. If I do, it's a great deal IMHO.

Looks like a great deal. Only thing that I see missing is a M.2 or SSD.

How does this compare to a 2020 xps 9500 with the 10th gen core i7 and 1650 graphics card? Roughly the same capabilities gaming and performance wise?

Not even close for gaming. The i7 is much more powerful but the 1650 is severely lacking compared to the 1660S.

So I can currently run flight sim 2020 on medium settings on that xps laptop. The Alienware would be much -more capable ? Thanks for respondimg to these newb questions. Repped.

Yeah, it should substantially more capable, if playing at 1440p. I'd be worried about the i5 when playing at 1080p. In terms of raw performance, if my memory serves me right, the 1660S should be around 30-50% better than the 1650.

Either way, I don't think this Alienware is very good. Building one would cost maybe $100-150 more and you'd actually have a good case, a power supply you could trust, an SSD, and enough RAM to actually play games.

The gaming performance will be way behind than this. GTX 1660 SUPER can be up to 30% more powerful,

Dude, i have r9 380 with an i5 haswell and runs everything at 1080p with solid 60fps (with some tweaking) this is what? Double the performance? If you are gaming 1080p, this handles everything.

be nice if this came with 1660ti or an i5 10xxx, well you cant ask for everything

Agreed. If it had a SSD, steal.

Likely yes, with the RTX3080 coming out. 1660 is mid tier now of a video card, and this has a HDD. I highly recommend getting SSD as HDD is significantly slower.

I'd say it's a GOOD deal, not slick. Without SSD it'll be much slower. 1660 is decent for mid tier gaming. Add ram also and you have a power machine.
