seems OK, although alienware gets flak for using cheap components, i haven’t had any big issues with their stuff.
config you chose is running 6-core, 45W TDP processor and with 1080p, 144hz, it will run hot, even with adequate cooling - but that is to be expected in most gaming laptops.
you may want to go for upgraded battery option for $50 more since the laptop will be very power hungry.
as for last a long time, i agree spec wise but if thermals are constantly high, it may not last as long as you think - keep in mind this is the same processor a macbook pro 2018 uses, and that thing runs hot
gotcha, yeah i have a macbook pro now. 2017 model i believe. and it dose run very hot if/when i game on it. i have a cooling pad, and another fan that blows directly on it. and it seems to help a lot. as far as the battery i did click that upgrade, im not sure why it didnt translate in the link, but thats very good advise. i agree 100%.
the reason i like dell is because the parts availability if something goes wrong, i can get it fixed relatively cheap
