Welcome to the forum 🙂

What use? If gaming, fast action or more sedate?

I'm using it mainly for gaming. I want the one that'll function better.

If it's in your budget I would recommend the MSI Raider GE78HX 13VI with the 13980HX and 4090 Gpu

Bigger screen wins.
I have a 16" laptop myself (7730U+Vega8, Lenovo made), and it's really not what games are designed to be played on.

Bigger screen wins.

^ Believe that ^

The main reason I use 42" TVs rather than 27" monitors for roughly the same money. A big open world game actually does look BIG and OPEN when not squeezed into a little screen 🙂

Even when I had an Alienware 18" laptop, I used to plug TV into it most of the time.

Thanks everyone for answering but I have decided to go with an ASUS ROG Zephyrus M16 it has what I wanted at a better price at Best Buy with Intel 13th Gen Core i9 with 16GB RAM, RTX 4070 and 1TB SSD.

Update
Unfortunately the zephyrus didn't work like I wanted it to so I had to return it. So I'm want to try again with one of these Alienware laptops.
