Dell Alienware - "baller" would be my technical judgement.
Long key travel, large layout. Makes programming comfortable again.
Gaming laptops in general seem to be nearly "no compromise" products. Battery life is as good as it can be - they max-out the watt-hours permitted by airlines. Keyboards can be massive. Screens, sound systems. Recently the weight has been reduced through clever hardware engineering:

- wyclif 8y agoYou know there's something wrong with the "pro" laptop market (and with Apple) when engineers start moving to "gaming laptops" to get serious work done.
- 0815test 8y agoIt's a marketing term. Many "gaming" laptops are quite well-built and it would be silly to ignore them, even for "real work". (Unless you need the sort of reliability that can only be had by moving to Xeon/EPYC cpus, ECC memory and Quadro/FirePro graphics, of course.)
