I've been using a Dell Gaming 15 with a RAM and SSD upgrade I did myself.

So it has 32gb RAM, 1TB m2 drive 7th gen i7 and Nividia 1050ti GPU.

Pros:
Work horse
Fast boot
reasonable battery 5-7 hours of development.

Cons:
it's a bit thick
Panel is a little dimmer then others.
Fans are loud

I am leaning towards this idea because I will definitely get the performance that I am looking for. The thickness especially around the panel and the panel quality is the one thing keeping me from going in this direction. I prefer higher resolutions as well. Can't beat the specs though! Must be a dream working on it.
