Why would anyone want to bottleneck their display to 1080p on a top end machine like this?

Sadly, as of now, only Alienware and MSI laptops are available with Alder Lake and RTX 3080 To and both of them, instead of using QHD panel at 165Hz or 240Hz, coming with 360Hz 1080p Panel. Hopefully, we will see the QHD panels when more will be available.

Not really if you see the price of current Alienware X series pricing. Alienware X15 and X17 series are their highest end Alienware lineup and never going to be cheap for the current generation. Even the R1 version with 11th Gen i7 and RTX 3080 costs almost similar to this one and comparing them with budget or less premium laptops like ROG G15, Gigabyte Aorus, Dell G15 etc. not going to be fair. Compare them with current gen highest speced Razer Blade 17 with i-7-11800H and RTX 3080 and you will that this one is actually cheaper.

I like how all the ports are on the back and the sides are air vents.

Only 3 grand? Slickdeal!!!!
Really nice logic. Price of a deal is based on what is the configuration and price compared to the similarly configured devices, isn't it? Let me know if you have anything less than 3 grands with these kind of specifications.

I'd be in on this if not for the lack of a QHD option simply because I'm tired of waiting. Yes, it's expensive, and yes it's more expensive than some other equivalent options, but I have an existing Dell Financial account for business and I've been waiting for nearly 4 years to upgrade. My Dell 8750H/1060maxq/4k60 is still an absolute workhorse but is showing its age.

What ticks me off to no end is dell not having ANYTHING in their lineup that has a high end cpu/gpu, high-refresh/rez screen AND a keypad. The Inspiron 16 Plus needs a big brother.

QHD165 or 4K120, unnerfed 3070ti/3080ti, DDR5, 12th gen and a numberpad with a 16/17 inch screen. Is that so hard, Dell? You haven't had a top spec desktop replacement with a numpad in years now.

Regarding your ask for 16 inch screen, you're not going to get that as unlike some of the other brands coming with 16:10 aspect ratio display in some models, Dell is going to stick with 16:9 aspect ratio for their gaming lineup and to be fair, for gaming, Wider aspect is better.

Pure performance wise, it's better. But Mac has better quality display for creative workloads, superior battery life, lighter design and better performance on battery.

High rez AND high refresh AND high-end graphics AND being comfortable for use in business situations is not an impossible request when you're talking about a laptop that can reach US$4k. I don't care about 16:9 vs 16:10 in most situations. Dell has so many "gaming" laptop lines it's already confusing (literally: Dell sales staff don't even know what some of the differences are between product lines aside from price and device dimensions).

I don't often use "creator" features for work, I'm not a graphic designer or video editor, but I end up dealing with that kind of work often enough that some semblance of color accuracy, a powerful gfx card and high res in a laptop are a necessity. But by God do I give that number pad a workout on a daily basis that could make any accountant smile.

And in my experience working with vendors and consultants, I think my needs/wants are pretty common, especially outside of the giant corp bubble where a user is likely to wear more hats or own his/her equipment.

I'm talking about minimum necessary (for me) stats in a maximum machine. Dell is handicapping their business laptops by nerfing the graphics cards but offering a good high rez 60hz screen and full keyboard layout in the Inspiron 16+, and nerfing their gaming laptops by limiting screen rez/refresh and lack of numpads. It's a 17 inch desktop replacement not a macbook air; there's room for a QHD or better screen with 120+fps and a numeric keypad.
