Removing premium support will reduce price to 1102

Another way of looking at it is if you get the Alienware, with the extra money you are saving instead of buying the L5P , you can buy a 32" 165Hz 1440p Dell Gaming monitor ($300). Definitely something to consider. I have been through several Dell G15 and Alienware and settled on the L5P. The Alienware is just too underpowered or hot for me. Reviews of the Alienware share the same sentiments. But those reviews were done when the Alienware was double the price. It's easy to overlook those issues when it's only $1100.

The Legion 5 Pro has a superior screen which is brighter and different aspect ratio but the same refresh. The L5P has far superior cooling and higher power 140W 3070 so performance will be better. The Ryzen is better on battery life too compared for the i7 if that matters. Still the Alienware is about $300 cheaper it's still a consideration. Consider the Alienware as an entry level 3070. It's not much more powerful or expensive than some laptops with 3060s.

Is one a better choice than the other?

Anyone know the GPU wattage?

The Aorus has a 99whr battery, 240Hz monitor, 1TB SSD, num pad and the same wattage GPU.

By the way this has mux switch. Heat management is not that great compared to other thicker ones. But it has tcc offset for cpu to get it controlled under 85 degree at a cost of cpu performance, but benefit for gaming sessions.

Any idea of what Unreal 5 will bring to this equation?

I can confirm that the basic mail in support is complete garage and will take at least a month for any possible issues/repairs. Honestly if you can afford it, keep the premium support. On site repairs and support is far superior. Had my RGB keyboard go out and I didn't have a laptop for 1.5 months. Dell doesn't care at all about you or your laptop. No extension to your warranty as well. Be warned.

Just started researching, but how is this compared to the past $1400 deals for the Legion 5 Pro with the 3070?

Excellent value for the specs. I however will never buy a another notebook that doesn't have S3 standby support - this model only supports modern standby.
