you need the 2 chargers for most gaming performance possible with the laptop
you can charge it with 1

the asus one has a high refresh rate screen 300hz
i personally am not a fan but most people really like it

the alienware has a bit better cpu and better cooling (but also heavier)

if you like high refresh rate go with asus if performance is most important go with alienware

I will be using it for gaming and business too as I travel quiet a bit and those 2 laptops I can't choose between those 2

Someone else did recommend razer pro 17 inch but the specs are weak compared to those 2 so im struggling to pick between those 2

Area 51m is more heavy but will generally perform better

If you want to carry it take into account that the asus is lighter

Also high refresh rate monitor on asus

Other than that not much to say

Razer 17 is also fine
The 2080 maxq is in the same category as the 2070 in the asus or 51m
More expensive thou

But i dont think you could tell the difference in performance between this asus and the razer 17 with a 2080 maxq
With the 51m maybe that will generally perform better

if you want the best performance possible go with the alienware area 51m

the 2080 maxq performs about as well as a 1080 laptop or 2070 laptop or 2060 super desktop

Isn’t the Razer Pro cheaper? Also you’re only running 1080p and 300Hz is stupid, it’ll only degrade your battery more for stuff you won’t ever notice. It’s hard to justify anything over 144Hz for esports nevermind a laptop
