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.

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.
17" is massive and extremely cumbersome unless you are just an absolute unit of a person.
Personally I think 14" is ideal for most people. I have a legion 5 pro 16" and I already consider that too big and heavy to move around practically. Lenovo slim pro 14" with the 3050 is (for me) the best of both worlds, light and portable with more than enough power for comp sci work and casual gaming.
Zephyrus 14" is a little bigger and heavier than the slim pro, but more powerful if that's your thing…also has amazing battery life for a gaming laptop. Runs hot, as expected in an aluminum 14" with that sort of GPU.

I ended up buying an open box laptop for about $400

I'm so happy with my purchase, I can finally retired my 16yr old laptop with integrated graphic, and now I can play better games and won't be dealing with crashes. I was looking into trying to squeeze a little more life from my 16yr old laptop by buying an SSD SATA because I recently got a few errors of failing HDDs but now I don't need to bother with that because I bought a new laptop. I'm so happy, thanks to all the slickdealers for finding great deals and I learned a lot from these laptop threads.

I keep hearing that mobile can't be compared like for like with desktops and that laptops can get hot and loud so I'm hoping someone on here can give a more relative comparison of the two.
I'd say if you have a case where you can really utilize 100% of the spec and upgrade the cpu in the future then go desktop. For me, this will be my computer for at least next 8 years or so.
