@dostovel Man, you talked me into it. I don’t think my Mac journey will end but I was at Costco today and after reviewing your link I settled on a Lenovo Legion Y545 because most of the specs seemed to line up. It was on instant rebate. After coming home and logging into my MacBook it crashed twice haha, so the writing was on the wall for this guy at least.
These are the specs: Lenovo Legion Y545 at Costco for ~$1100 with instant rebate (the rebate ended tomorrow so it was now or never)
Intel Core i7-9750H (9th Gen)
16 GB DDR4 2666MHz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660Ti 6GB Graphics
1TB HDD + 512 SSD PCIe M.2
15.6″ screen with Full Keyboard and Numpad
I still have the receipt in case this won’t work or someone says to steer clear of the Lenovo. I think these specs are about the same or better than the Alienware but perhaps you can tell me if this was a good enough purchase. I almost got the Surface Pro 6 but I was afraid it just wouldn’t give enough compared to what you recommended. If I was going to have regrets it would have been on the Surface just for the performance.
