This post follows the steps posted by
privater. I followed the instructions from their post for the
Alienware M15 R6 Laptop, and they worked for this x15.
1. Register a Dell reward account if you don't have.
2. Apply for a Dell AAA 10% coupon
here[dell.com], you don't need AAA membership, but require a valid Email address to receive coupon in seconds.
3. Click this link for this exact deal:
Link [dell.com][dell.com] make sure it matches the description and list price is $1,959.99. Click add to cart.
4. Proceed to checkout, apply "DPA5" coupon.
5. Apply your Dell 10% off coupon.
6. Proceed to checkout and check expedited shipping for free.
7. Check first payment with Dell Financial Account. You can put $1 on Dell Financial Account to utilize the 5% coupon but charge other payment on your credit card if you have other deals like 10% from Amex.
8. Make sure the final price is $1,675.79 and you can get 3% from Dell rewards after delivery.

Not many 32gb / 1tb / 1440p deals with slim form factor
1. 3070 is 110w TGP, 90w base + 20w dynamic boost, when cpu use more than 30w power, gpu tends to throttle around 100w.
2. 3070 is micron vram, less efficient and power hungry than Samsung
3. It's too thin, the thermal is not good even with 4 fan. my old m15 r4 is quieter.
4. memory is 1Rx16 and soldered, can't even replace to 2Rx8 to boost performance like others.
It's a thin laptop, but very heavy and large in width and height. I don't quite understand what would help if make a laptop so thin but still need a 16-17 inch bag to fit.
p.s. I am talking about the x15, not sure if the m15 r6 allows for ram upgrades
The type of RAM will improve gaming performance. DDR4 vs DDR5, single channel vs dual channel, etc.

The x15 uses a 110W 3070 vs a 130W M15 R6. You'll notice weaker gpu performance.
