Screw that.
I'm looking for a computer that can do this:
1. Portable and doesn't weight so much
2. Can handle some games like the new Diablo and Star Wars
3. Edit Pictures and Video (Photoshop, Final Cut, etc)
4. Can handle Excel, Word, Outlook
5. For code learning like Scratch, Python, Java

With those Alienware deals, for 1200 or less, its a better investment with the amd ryzen cpu, 32GB RAM + 6850XT 12GB gpu.
i tried getting that deal but the link doesn't show the price. exactly my point though, invest 500 more and get more value. cheers to that deal too!

Portable is subjective and can make it tricky to get value for a budget since even modest gaming laptops are fairly pricey now. I'd consider ~5 lbs to be fine for budget since trying to go 4 lbs or less would be extremely limiting for budget gaming laptops.
Do you already have Diablo 4? I've been playing it a lot on my desktops and noticed it's both RAM and VRAM hungry but otherwise runs well. Haven't tried newer Star Wars games myself but saw it's also VRAM and GPU compute heavy. I get around D4 pretty fast at end game so I turned off all upscaling as it doesn't look good to me on 1080p ultrawide 34" monitor. On native, my 8gb VRAM wasn't enough for ultra and high still occasionally stutters (hub town, load new zone etc).
For just learning coding, nearly any decent modern laptop would work. For professional cases, it's often dependent on CPU for faster compile times since it's common for even medium size projects I've worked on to take 15-30 minutes to just compile, run unit tests etc. For learning, your projects would likely build, compile, test etc in <1 minute.
For reference, my personal machine is a desktop i5 11400f and RTX 3060 Ti. Everything feels fine to me. This laptop seems OK for the price, you'd just need to dial down game textures due to VRAM and add more RAM of course. 32GB feels good for most software dev and gaming in my experience.
