Note this is DDR5 so another 8gb stick is slightly pricier but not by much. 1 nvme slot on the Dell as well if that matters, the Gigabyte has better storage upgradability.
Slickdeals gave me 10% back I think for using PayPal. I had to go back and check my order, but my laptop before tax was $611.99 which translated into 6,119 slickdeals reward points, which I then redeemed 6,000 points for a $60 PayPal credit. It was awesome.

It runs fast and smooth and is cool even when Zooming with a dozen people for a few hours. When gaming on Ginshen Impact, it does get kinda hot within 1-2 hours and have to put in standby mode for 15-30 minutes to cool it down and resume again. The heat is only noticeable when you place your hands on the speakers near the screen. But this depends on the game and how GPU intensive is. I guess having a fan pointed at the laptop would help.
Mine fits 2 2280 NVMes, had to call customer support for the copper heat shield, mounting bracket, and screws to add second NVMe which I believe was $5. On Amazon, the same parts are sold for $20.
I would recommend adding an extra stick of RAM from Crucial to boost some performance in games and prevent swapping RAM to your SSD when out of RAM.

Dell has better build quality and is likely to outlast Gigabyte.
Edit: Nope. No more $120 back.

Valid only on purchases made in US dollars. You may not receive additional Hilton Honors Bonus Points if we receive inaccurate information or are otherwise unable to identify your purchase as qualifying for the offer. For example, you may not receive the Hilton Honors Bonus Points if (a) the merchant uses a third-party to sell their products or services; or (b) the merchant uses a third-party to process or submit your transaction to us (e.g., using mobile or wireless card readers); or (c) you choose to make a purchase using a third-party payment account or make a purchase using a mobile or digital wallet. Purchases may fall outside of the offer period in some cases due to a delay in merchants submitting transactions to us or if the purchase date differs from the date you made the transaction (for example, the purchase date for online orders may be the shipping date). Additional Hilton Honors Bonus Points will be credited to your program account within 90 days after 12/31/2022, provided that American Express receives information from the merchant about your qualifying purchase. Note that American Express may not receive information about your qualifying purchase until all items/services from your qualifying purchase have been shipped/provided by merchant. We may not credit additional Hilton Honors Bonus Points to, or we may take away additional Hilton Honors Bonus Points that have been credited to, your program account if the qualifying purchase is returned/canceled. If American Express does not receive information that identifies your purchase as qualifying for the offer, you will not receive additional Hilton Honors Bonus Points.

Limit of 25,000 additional Hilton Honors Bonus Points per Card Member.

These additional Hilton Honors Bonus Points are in addition to any Hilton Honors Bonus Points you would normally receive for purchases on your Card under the terms of the Hilton Honors program account, but the number of additional Hilton Honors Bonus Points you receive will be based on the purchase price after any credit or other discount is applied.
