this is like pretty much the exact same scenario for me too

#

so can someone also ping me

#

neither

#

xps has low tgp gpu
tuf is crap

#

use LEVELUP20 for 20% discount

#

but this one costs more and has less ram

$70 ram and again "use LEVELUP20 for 20% discount"

comes down to $1119

TEAMGROUP Elite SODIMM DDR5 32GB (2x16GB) 5600Mhz (PC5-44800) CL46 Non-ECC Unbuffered 1.1V 262 Pin Laptop Memory Module Ram - TED532G5600C46ADC-S01

#

also xps 16 is likely 16gb soldered ram

#

tuf won't last as long on battery and is built like crap

#

the only downside to that omen is 1080p display but at least color gamut is good

#

do you know the battery life?

#

it's a lower power amd chip so probably over 7 hours
