I usually buy Asus for computers, and I go for a mid-range business model with dedicated graphics. They're cheaper than the gaming counterparts, still have good specs, and they are much more reliable and easy to work on.

Had a secondhand Alienware, circa 2017, and that thing looked nice, but it was heavy, bulky, and you had to remove the back cover, drives, battery, WiFi antenna, and a bezel just to swap the CMOS battery. But that's everything Dell IMHO.

Everything Dell is just garbage.

I remember subbing to r/dell and all you ever saw was people with problems with Dell/Alienware hardware.
