Top Dell Gaming Laptops

I believe Acer is one of the best values in laptops. But with value comes some compromises. For this purchase, I was just looking at raw specifications and wanted top-of-the-line or near-top for a 16 gaming laptop. (I was fine with a 13th gen Intel CPU b/c there really isn't any meaningful improvement to the 14th gen, so buying a laptop that has been out for a year is an even better way to save money). This laptop has fantastic performance - I use it to game and for video/audio editing via Premiere. I can run any game I care to play at max settings. The screen is surprisingly vibrant, even though it's not the mini-led. Be aware that battery life for this laptop (and most upper-end gaming laptops in general) is pretty atrocious (2, MAYBE 3 hours under light usage). If you plan to do anything processor/GPU intensive on battery alone..., it's not going to happen. This laptop is happiest being plugged in and acting as a desktop replacement more than a true laptop that you're going to carry around all the time. I love it because I can take it with me when I travel and have an awesome machine with a small(er) footprint. This laptop isn't the most quiet (the fans can get pretty raucous), it isn't the best-looking, and doesn't have the best thermals, but it is, in my opinion, a great buy at a very reasonable price if you understand what these types of machines are like.

I have used this to replace the hard drives on Mac and Dell laptops. It worked fine.

I've had 3 Asus gaming laptops, and this is all I'll buy.

Nice free gaming bundle to go to RTX-capable laptops!

This cable was reliable, heavy duty and easy to use with various laptops, such as HP, Toshiba and Dell, and displays, such as Vizio, Samsung and LG, which I tested it upon. The video and audio sync was flawless. The 4K video was brilliant and crisp. What is in the box: 1- 57m HDMI Cable Note: “I received this product in exchange for an unbiased review.”

With the newer Dell XPS laptops largely abandoning USB-A ports, wired Ethernet ports, and HDMI/DisplayPort ports, having a dock is pretty much necessary for expansion as many current peripherals are still USB-A. I have an earlier Thunderbolt 3 dock on my work-proved Dell Precision, and it requires 2 cords to the laptop, where this Thunderbolt 4 only requires 1 - and has 130W charging pass-through (from the 180W power brick) so it can keep up even when pushing the machine hard. And I'll be able to hook it up to my wired network for throughput greater than what I can manage with WiFi.

I'm using it to share a USB docking station between two laptops, a dell and an HP. Th docking station has two monitors, a mouse, and a keyboard. It seems to be working really well.

I never had a Dell Alienware keyboard, but this one has surprised me how sturdy and well built is. I am really enjoying it, specially for gaming.

That's about it! We received the memory unit quickly, installed it (in a Dell gaming laptop) ... which took about 4 minutes ... and it has been working perfectly. The laptop only had 8GB previously, and this addition dramatically improved system performance.
