I don’t need an optical drive
12. Please tell us about the brands that you prefer to buy from them and the brands that you don't like and explain the reasons.
I’m open to buying from most brands. I currently have an ASUS with a 4090 graphics card and also have used Eluktronics and Sager/Clevo but not wedded to any brand. I do favor buying from Amazon simply due to fast turnaround but understand a better hardware mix may be available if I am willing to wait. My current ASUS ROG Strix Scar 17 X3D (2023) Gaming Laptop, 17.3” QHD 240Hz/3ms, 100% DCI-P3 Display, GeForce RTX 4090, AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX3D, 32GB DDR5, 2TB PCIe SSD, Wi-Fi 6E, Windows 11 Pro, G733PYV-XH97 from Amazon is OK but at times I need two machines at the same time and my backup laptop just died.
13. What country do you live in?
USA
14. Please tell us any additional information if needed.
My real issue is finding the right mix of components like CPU, graphics card, amount of memory, and enough HD space and my hope to find this in an off the shelf box from Amazon as opposed to go to a specialty web site and putting everything together myself.
