Alienware has a very good cooling design, to control thermals, especially the 17 inch model, which has great heat dissipation.
This allows:
1. much less thermal throttling
2. higher wattage power fed into the graphics card
3. greater frame rates, and better performance
If you want a better idea of actual gaming performance, look at the wattage of the power supply, how much power the laptop supplies to the discrete graphics, and then look at actual frame rate and benchmark numbers from online reviews and YouTube videos.
This is the reason why you won't ever see 14" laptops with 4090 graphics accelerators. They can't handle the heat, can't supply enough power to the graphics, and even if they do try to squeeze it in, these laptops suffer from horrible thermal throttling.
The other comment is correct. These laptops are designed for different purposes. A 17" laptop is far less portable. Ever try taking a 17" laptop with a bag and power supply on an airplane? Setting it up on the seat? You will see how impractical it is, and where a 14" or 15" laptop make more sense. However, if you have it sitting 95% of the time on AC power as a desktop replacement, then the 17" with super high refresh is ideal for gaming, especially FPS. 17" is much more comfortable for long term use than 14 or 15".
So decide what kind of laptop you have a need for, and then find the best deal for a laptop in that segment. Don't go chasing after the best "deal" and end up with a laptop that is impractical for your daily use!
Personally I don't like Acer but honestly every companies quality control seems to be total garbage now so I can't really hold it against just them anymore.

resolution and frame rate do not work that way, there are so many other factors to account for, bandwidth, video memory, cache, etc.
Go to the dell website and look up the laptop, select the specs listed
-AMD CPU
-AMD GPU
-32G RAM
-1TB SSD
Then on the next page remove the "dell premium support" or whatever its called and choose mail-in service, this will further discount the price to to about 1,000.99, Then put in the 10% discount code and you will be at $900. Hope this helps.
Also, for those of you that have a American Express card, you can get an additional $120 cash back. I just put in my order, and after taxes I will be at $1030.18. And for that price, I don't see myself getting a better deal any time soon.
I need to upgrade my 16yr old laptop. It's been through so many blue screen of death among other things, I can barely do anything with it and I need a laptop for school which I need to use it in school (college) I'm wondering if this would be okay for me take it to school while taking public transportation
