Damn, I was hoping for i9 with 3070ti. Best price I've seen for that combo, and I've done a ton of searching is 1699, well i did see one for 1100 but the about us for the website was copy paste from Canada goose so I think it's a scam. But 1500 would be a sweet price for that combo.

My wifes laptop is pretty good, it has a 3070 laptop graphics, so it can play most modern games pretty well.
But she isn't much of a gamer or anything its just a decent fast laptop, 32 gigs of ram even.
My desktop PC I built 4? years ago let me check, one good thing about new egg is that order history last forever, yeah it just had its 4th birthday of being built, I spent 1,800 on it, and it was pretty close to top of the line of everything, only a few parts could have been upgraded for a trivial amount of performance.
To this day it still plays all modern games fine, but it is a desktop. The only thing is that the graphics card doesn't meet the minimum specs for the upcoming Silent Hill 2 remake game, everything else in it meets or exceeds the specs.
So I was thinking about building a new PC but honestly I could just wait on that and just upgrade the graphics card but due to shortages and shit, those cards are really pricy right now so I might wait for the game to actually come out or at least have a release date of which if they optimize the game between now and then my shit will probably exceed the specs again thus not needing to upgrade. So far every game I have thrown at it runs well above 120 frames a second and my 55 inch screen I use my PC on can only run 120 frames a second so to this point, no reason to upgrade at all.

If gaming is your priority I would go with a desktop.

That 1699 one got a 144 hz screen which is hella frames for a laptop, that's the one if you're going for gaming.

The one time I bought something on newegg was last year on cyber monday. It was supposed to be a certain brand (can't remember) of a 1tb ssd. The one I got was a different brand so I wanted to send it back for a refund. The seller gave me the WORSE time possible trying to get my money back. Instead of giving me a refund, he sent the correct brand. But I didn't want an exchange (because I found a better price elsewhere), I just wanted to return it for a full refund. Well, long story short, I got a full refund and I was able to keep the new ssd that the dummy sent because I technically requested a RETURN and NOT an exchange.
Thanks for the free 1tb ssd sucker. I ended up using it in an old laptop that I thought was broken but it actually still works pretty good. I'm thinking of somehow jerry rigging my iMac so that I can put the ssd inside of it.

This is the one I saw from Dell. 32gb ram, i9, 3070ti, 2500x1600 165hz screen. Pretty nice for the cost, but it is a Dell https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-laptops/g16-gaming-laptop/spd/g-series-16-7620-laptop/gn7620fszzh

Yeah I don't trust Dell at all. The specs sound good but I have never heard of a good experience with Dell and they even managed to Ruin the reputation of Alienware of which I mean was always over priced but somehow managed to even ruin that niche market.

I, too, am Very Good with computers. The Beasts that assemble them love me for the Beautiful Man that I am. I am so Good that I recently built a computer for $999 that rocked 146hz screen which, if we all can be honest for a minute or two, is actually hella hella frames for a laptop.
As an aside, I am coveting write-in votes on OTD for biggest idiot. I feel this has been time well spent...

Now now....have you ever heard of the LATITUDE line of Dell laptops? It's their "business" line of laptops. It's made with more durable plastic and has better quality chips and boards and holds up way better than the shitty expiron. My current and my previous laptops were both Dell Latitudes. Refurbished (which I guess means "used" for all intents and purposes) My current one is a 2013 model, The E6440 Latitude. It has an i7-4610M 3.0Ghz cpu, SSD, 16gb ram. It's the fastest cpu I've used and I'll say that sometimes it's TOO fast lol. And even though it's 9 years old it runs god damn good. Just did a fresh install like last year.
The thing with a windows machine is that you NEVER want to run the operating system that it came with because it usually has unnecessary bloat from the manufacturer or whatever other crap the seller put on it if it's a refurbished unit. Use a FULL INSTALL windows disc with key and install a vanilla version of windows. Only install the drivers you really need. You most likely don't need any Dell crap. When you hear about someone with a windows machine who complains that their computers are slow, it's probably because they have the manufacturer's operating system on it with all the bloat that slows your system down.
Both my iMac and Dell Latitude laptop have a full vanilla install of windows 8.1 disk. (and I use classic shell because I hate the windows 8 default start menu.)

I have seen far too many complaints from Alienware ever since Dell acquired it though.
I feel like, if I knew how to make some sort of custom sleek looking new age computer cases, I could start some kind of high end over priced gaming computers like Alienware, cause they're easy as dog shit to build, but you have to have a unique computer case that can't be bought outside of your brand, that is what sucks fools into buying and over priced high end sleek gaming computer.
Enlils pink computer looks better than an Alienware these days.

For god sakes the most expensive Alienware doesn't even come with the latest model of Graphics card.
Just how bad is your relationship with your suppliers to find yourself in that situation.

lol. My computer runs faster than your mom and for cheaper. Unless you do gaming, you really don't need super high specs. 3.0 ghz is more than plenty to be honest. My imac still runs great at 13 years old, Has 8gb of ram, with a dual core 2.66Ghz cpu. I don't game.
