Pros:
  1. The only Luna white Alienware you can get, M15 r5, r6, r7 is Dark chassis w/ Black keyboard. x15 is white chassis w/ black keyboard.
  2. miniDP port, Alienware Graphic Amplifier port(removed from lateral generations).
  3. Frontal speaker cutouts, better sound quality.
  4. RTX 3070 is 140w on r4, might came with Samsung vram, while r5-r7 are mostly Micron and only 130w.
  5. Vapor Chamber cooling on CPU, better than current r5-r7's normal cold plate.
  6. per Key RGB vs mostly 4-zone RGB on r5-r7, secondary function key light.
Cons:
  1. Soldered memory
  2. No Optimus, battery will be a issue.
5% off using Dell financial w/ coupon DPA5, you can split into multiple payments,l like using Amex card w/ Dell offers such as 600-120 or 10% off. However you can't apply Dell rewards when using Dell financial account and split payments.

And you can get cashback and Dell rewards on purchase too.

Honestly that's a pretty good price.
Cool story... this is an R4 which is way better at keeping cool. It also runs the 3070 at a higher wattage than the R5 and 6. The R5 and up are considered a failure where as the R4 is highly regarded.

This GPU is the same with the desktop one or weaker? How do I find the difference?

I believe it's equivalent to a desktop 3060

Same chip, but less cores (I think) and way less power going to the card. So expect less performance than a desktop 3070. Also different 3070 laptops may have different performance too, again because of the wattage of the gpu.

Good try dell, but I will pass. Had R5 with QHD, CPU was heating up to +101C and had multiple issues (replacement that they sent also had issues) so returned it and done with dell.

Sounds like a good deal. Says delivery expected in May. If I place order now but change mind in one month, can I still cancel the order?

I have 2 of these. One runs at 63.7 one runs at 65.6. But I got Samsung memory. YMMV
