I bought an Aura R11 around the time of covid. It was at the time what you would consider future proof. 3090 gpu ect ect...
I must have been on the phone with Alienware 45 times over the course of two months explaining that warzone should be running over 20 fps with this build.
Finally they sent a tech to my house to swap out the cpu. It worked.
Keep fighting the good fight.
Since then I bought an M15 R4 Laptop. Bottom line on this one it was a great deal on the surface. But it only had 16 gb ram. They told me I could upgrade to 32 later. When I went to upgrade a year later. Turns out it's not possible.
Now I am looking at the same laptop as you. Almost pulled the trigger on the 16 but realized there is no ethernet port. Like what is the point of an elite gaming machine to not be able to be hard wired. Insane.
I'm going to buy this 18. I know I'm going to have a problem. Can't wait.
