I need a temporary laptop with a dGPU to hold me over until the Ampere ones later next year. A close family member needed a laptop right away so I gave them my two year old XPS 15. It was a decent machine, but lacked a decent dGPU and had cooling issues when gaming.

Anyways, this Alienware one seems like a cheap option and decently equipped for general laptop duty plus can game at the native resolution. Any reason to look at MSI or Asus over this one? The only thing close was the Asus G14 but seems to trail in performance in the game I'd play. If they sold one with a beefier GPU, that would be my choice.

Alienware m15 R3
1080P 300Hz
Intel i7-10750H
16GB RAM
RTX 2070 Super
512GB NVMe

$1599

Clevo?


They have laptops that have desktop chip lol Ryzen 9 3900 or various intel variant.

Most laptops will thermal throttle though.
