Hey all, I'm on the hunt for a new gaming laptop, as my Dell Inspiron 15 7577's cpu is struggling. I'm looking to spend about $2000-2500 on a laptop, but with space for a 2.5" SSD, and compatible with my Crucial 32GB Kit (2 x 16GB) DDR4-2400 SODIMM RAM from my dell laptop. I'm also looking for a laptop with RTX 20 series gfx.
I've checked out the recent Dell G7 models, and based on the reviews on here it isn't a very reliable machine.
Any suggestions? Thanks
You should check pricing at various retailers, but some suggestions:

Definitely not Alienware!
You mean Dell?
I mean Alienware. Over-priced cheap crap.
And Dell generally is fine. Just not their Alienware series.
I've owned alienware machines before. amazing hardware lol, just not looking to spend that much :)
I just got my Razer Blade 15 Advanced in the Black Friday sales, got it from the Microsoft Ebay store (reduced by $800), with Ebay putting extra $500 discount on top of that, plus shopback, I got a laptop worth $4500 (no way I'm paying that!) for $2670, still the most I've paid for a laptop but its a beast so far, can't complain at all. Only has the 2070 and i7 chips but so far I havent hit anything that is causing it to stutter. 240hz 1080p panel is great, would have preferred a 1440p but maybe next time I buy they will offer that.
Check out Jarrods Tech on Youtube, bloke reviews a lot of laptops, gives decent remarks on them.
I will say, set a budget, it removes a lot of the options. If I didn't get this deal I would have ended up with the Asus Zephyrus 14, AMD CPU and 1660Ti GPU, great 14" formfactor as well but was hard to pass up on a Blade 15 for close to half price.
cheers, im checking out asus laptops and they look great
Black friday, dell eBay had the g7 17.3inch for 1888. Had rtx 2070 and it 10th gen with 512gb ssd and 16gb ram. Thought that was a good deal
yeah i saw that deal, great price but not many people are happy with the cooling on that laptop and the reviews are mixed so im staying away from it.
I actually got it. Seems fine. Used it for video editing/rendering. Fan goes loud, but not uncomfortably so. Has a button you can press to get even more fan power, but never used it.
It did have lots of updates as I was setting it up.
Oh ok, I’ll check it out a bit more. I’ll be using the machine for quite heavy gaming and game designing
Preferably not MSI.
