    Currently Dell is selling G7 with i7, 16GB Ram, 1060MaxQ, 128SSD+1 TB (5400 RPM) and 4K display for $1,399.99.

    Alienware 15 with i7, 16GB Ram, 1060 OC, 128 M.2SSD+1 TB (7200 RPM), 1080p IPS, and larger battery for $1,449.99.

    Is the Alienware a better buy for only $50 more, or does the 4K on the G7 make up for slower storage, graphics, and smaller battery?

    What i7 in the AW?

    The UHD in the new Dell G series is great but Windows scaling is decent at best. It's getting better.

    I have so much more to say but let's start with that.

    8750H.

    Also, below special deal will be available on Monday, so I’m probably going with that.

    That link show the AW with a 8750h and a GTX 1070 for $1399. That's great given the rest of the specs!
