shake head ARM software compatibility is years away. Laptops are doing it for battery life, but there is no reason for desktops to be limited by emulation shortfalls and slow developer support.

While 16GB is still fine for most gaming, I agree 32GB would be ideal. But RAM is literally the easiest upgrade and often overpriced in prebuilt PCs. There are only 2 ram slots so that could be a $80-100 upgrade down the road, less anything you make selling 2x8GB ddr5 sticks.

Regarding the CPUs, fixes are rolling out, much more an issue for people like me that have been running a 13th gen CPU for years. However, there is still some risk. We life in a hellscape where there are only 2 CPU options, go with AMD if that is your preference.

Bought this for around the same price point in the Spring of 2024 w stacked discounts. Upgraded the RAM to 32 gb. Uninstalled all of the Alienware bloatware. It's been a great machine for gaming. I'm not running 4K, but playing 1080p games on a 150Hz gaming monitor at high settings. I priced out all of the components to build my own, and this was significantly less money without compromising much performance, etc. I play a few older games but have put hundreds of hours in Fortnite and helldivers 2 at >140 fps consistently. I'm sure benchmarks could be better, but I'm having too much fun to care.
If you bought this just to play at 1080p and fortnite then you honestly just wasted your money and could've saved hundreds with any 1000,2000,3000 series cards. At least upgrade to a 2k monitor.

The 4070 is = 3080. the 4070 Super in this Desktop is = 3080Ti It seems like a very reasonable gpu.
The 3080 will outperform the 4070 at 1440 and same with the 3080ti

But the comparison is the closest we can get

Its odd that this solid setup requires immediate upgrades to ram and storage.
