This one has a better processor but if you are just gaming you probably wouldnt notice a difference. The gpu is better by roughly 15% and you probably would notice that.
If it was me and I had the amex additonal 120 off I would return the legion and get this. If you dont have the offer its kinda a push because you would pay 200 more for a graphics card that is only a 50 dollar difference.

Synthetic benchmarking doesn't represent the difference in real world environments (unless you are rendering etc). If you like the legion keep the legion and the extra money.

Can anyone speak to the temps on this particular setup? I had an Alienware desktop several years ago and temps were not great. Ended up having to leave a side panel off.
People said on previous Alienware threads the issue was fixed. You can search previous deals to see what was said.

How does Dell build quality compare to MSI? I was waiting for a deal (Newegg) on MSI Codex.
Stay away alien ware they have been awful in everything since dell took over also msi is good with the titan and that's it you wants a asus scar to be honest

The biggest difference between these two PC's is Dell used proprietary psu and motherboard (OEM) while Lenovo doesn't. It means in the Lenovo legion you can swap or upgrade parts while in Dell you can't

I think with 1000w psu . You can anytime upgrade your cpu and gpu for next 4-5years . Ram seems to be the biggest disappointment

So this deal is actually amazing because I worked in:

Dell 10% off Welcome Email
Cash Back Site 10% off + $30 off
Finally I didn't have the CC required for $120 off but my CC still had a 5%

Total after all that shiz: $1,263.91

If I had the Amex offer it would have been $1,219.57

I went to PCPARTPICKER and couldn't get this hardware (or similar) for less than $1600! (I'm not even factoring in a windows key)

Thoughts on the rig:
People confirmed that the heating issues with Alienware desktops have been addressed and I read some good reviews on this R16. Also with the PSU I got legroom for a card upgrade EZPZ.

TLDR:

I love a trip to microcenter as much as the next guy but in 2024 it's still cheaper to buy than build a mid range rig….you just gotta know how to work a deal.

I realize others have already talked about this, but I also cannot figure out where the extra $145 discount is coming from, and I have read every single word of the post and all of the comments too.

From what I can see, AFTER signing up for the email I still get $1599 as the price.
Subtract the 10% offer which does come about 15 minutes after signup and you get down to $1439
Subtract the $5 mouse nobody wants and you get to $1434
Subtract the $120 for American Express and you get $1314
I did test it and it looks like you can use two different cards to buy this, so I could use chase to get another 5% off of the portion that gets paid for by Chase, which would be: $1434-$600 = $714 which would result in another $35.70 discount.
That brings the final total, if you use all of the discounts to $1278.30 if you ignore tax, which is calculated on the $1434 price and is location dependent.

So, can someone explain where the other $145 discount is coming from? Creating a Dell account with the email doesn't drop it further, which was what I assumed might be being said without saying it, but that's not it. Is it SlickDeals cash back using the extension? Just tried that too and it didn't give any additional discount. Enabled Slickdeals cash back and no luck there either. So, can someone show me the way? Confused

It clearly said cashback, not discount. Since you discovered it isn't Slickdeals cashback it is prob another site, no?
