It checks everything for me except weight... but I can actually live with it.
2560x1600 WOW
Newest Ryzen... Check
4070 or above... Check
32GB of RAM... Check
Max Voltage Possible for GPU... Check
18" screen... HUGE BONUS
will need to upgrade hard drive to a 4TB... but that is it. This thing is a beast.
I would recommend looking at a youtube review if possible.

For gaming I like my desktop gaming PCs and Steam Deck.
I also work from home and use a gaming laptop on the side when not in calls/meetings. Nothing beats spending countless hours in Elden Ring/Skyrim while getting "paid" at the same time . I'm currenly using a 15" MSI gaming laptop but considering moving to a full 18 incher soon. Thats what she said too!
That's what I can't decide. I wfm.
My main set up for play is an Alienware R15 with 4090 paired with a Samsung 49 inch OLED, which is upstairs in my game room.
Downstairs in the living room is my office. Samsung 57 inch paired with a 27inch screen on top. It would be nice to split the 57 when not dedicated fully to doing work, and game some on the 57 inch.
The only negative is I do travel a bit, so having a portable laptop would be ideal, but I don't think it's a deal breaker...

That's my use case as well... Wfm, would be nice to play some games in the office while working and not have to go to my gaming room.
Sounds like you have no friends.
Is it that odd to you people have more than one use case for a laptop?

You're welcome
I'm just biased. This laptop is fine.
I bought an Alienware R1 (Intel not AMD) for $1000 off the normal price (sales typically run $300- 400 off). I'd been checking these every week for about 6 weeks.
--Find every Dell you are interested in and add it to your cart.
--Refresh your cart on Mondays, because that's when they update prices.
My last PC was a Dell gaming G7 which was very good but not amazing and after 4 years I was noticing that it was having trouble keeping up. That extra $300 you spend up front will probably buy you an extra 2 years of lifespan. Don't skimp.
PC customer service is mostly terrible but Dell's is the best. Best meaning 3 or 4 stars but 3.5/5 is still great compared to the rest of the industry.
If you have the warranty they'll send a guy to your house to do the work with the part for free (although they will still urge you to ship it to their depot for 1-2 weeks). This is incredible if you're not tech savvy, and it's also nice to have that warranty when all the parts are soldered to the chassis (except the SSD). You can't fix a Dell on your own, generally, and certainly not cheaply. (Or any gaming PC--depending on the hardware failure.)
I live outside the US and this is where the warranty is definitely worth it--they send a guy to your house just about anywhere in the world. The benefit in the US is marginal but in most other countries it's amazing. Even aside from cost, you get guaranteed work. That local may not be good, but Dell has to warranty his work regardless.
That said, in the US the warranty price is VERY high and can probably be skipped. 3 years is the sweet spot in terms of dollars per year.
Dell does occasionally offer deals on warranties, but you have to add the PC to your cart to find out.
Finally, if you don't need a laptop just buy a desktop. Desktops can be upgraded so their value over time is way better than a laptop.
I'll wait for better cashback from the R* and will refresh on Monday.

Have you tried ASUS 14 inch zephyrs with 4060? That's good for a very portable gaming laptop. I got the one with 6800s and it's nice.
Handles everything thrown at it.
I don't care about weight. I bought this to replace my desktop and have the option to put it in my backpack and continue elsewhere.

A better question, is this a better deal than $200 for the m16 with 4080?

Needed a replacement for an HP that came with windows 7..this Dell should be a nice upgrade.
I also was able to get a 10% code from Dell for signing up with them.
