Having fun!

Microcenter has priced the beast 18" Alienware 51 area (Ultra 9 275HX, RTX 5090, 64 GB RAM, 2TB SSD) at $3500. Do you guys think it is a good deal? Right now, you can buy this laptop at ~$5k on Dell.com.

Won't dell price match? Then you can put dell rewards towards it if you have any plus earn a decent chunk of dell rewards in the process

I don't think Dell would provide a price match on this one since Microcenter offers only pick up; shipping is not available.

<mention>Exacustodian</mention> *The desktop variant of the 5090. This is the laptop variant & it performs more than 50% worse than the desktop 5090 at 1440p. It's worse performing than a desktop 5070ti.

Dell overprices EVERYthing. I'd guesstimate around 32-40%. So take that pill and then reevaluate.

It's a stellar deal

<mention></mention>Trivon Every company overprices. Dell is actually not that bad. Lenovo is worse.

<mention>BatedMarlin</mention> I got it but I still think it is not worth more than $3000 :)) Maybe I should have taken an open-box from Micro Center. $350 cheaper
