If you turn off the fans it says it can get up to 89+'C from GPU usage which is like 192.2'F and that is not close to 325'F which is good for cookies, so maybe if its a long time it could but I didn't find a recipe for how long that would take. Good luck!

Got this the last round at $300 higher price, but cash back was higher at that time and had Chase 5% offer at dell.com, so it's awash in terms of pricing now and then with cash back and offers. Promptly upgraded it to a 4TB 990 pro and moved the 2TB it comes with (OEM 980 Pro) to the secondary port. Also upgraded to 64GB RAM. Been working very well. When not running graphics, machine is quiet. Only hear the GPU fan during game sessions. It seems very well built with all cables tucked nice and neat. I used to build everything myself but nowadays this is the way to go for me. I no longer enjoy tinkering around and debugging things when, after 2 hours of putting everything together and turning every screw yourself, you hit the power button and no beep sound or BIOS screen.

I bought the same desktop last month, same spec but with 32gb ram.
It runs quiet, just updated the Nvidia driver.

Happy with the purchase. Got the additional 10% off coupon and close to $100 from Wells Fargo.

Gave my wife my 2020 Alienware x16 laptop, that this replaced.

How hot does the box get? Will I be able to bake cookies inside this thing?

Signed up for email but did not get a 10% coupon. Guess I'll wait and see if there is a delay. I've been considering a 4090 to upgrade my current Alienware 3080 system. I feel like the 4090 will last me at least 3 years

I've got a Wells Fargo Premier card. Looks like I'd just get the 2% cash back?

I would normally never condone purchasing a pre-built gaming PC, but this is a banger of a deal.

"have" to upgrade?
Years at the least. Games won't really challenge this unless you're trying to 4k. If one doesn't mind downgrading he resolution, you could probably use this machine for at least 5 (if not 8) years and still have a good experience, if not blazing fast benchmarks.

So this would be a better system then going with a asus scar 18? 4080

How long did it take to ship out? I ordered yesterday, but I'm worried my Amex offer will expire before it ships out.

Dude for the price of one of those Scar's, you could get this AND a general use laptop OR a Steamdeck for mobile gaming.

I also want to stress something else, laptop components and desktop components are very very different. The desktop variants of all processors and GPU's are WAAAAAY stronger.

In short, i7 mobile vs i7 = night and day performance difference.

Furthermore, that 18" is SO huge, it's hardly what I would consider a mobile device. So what's the point?
