Couple weeks ago my brother got a new laptop from Sager, having never heard of the company I looked into them. Turns out they make high end gaming laptops, same kind of power and specs as Alienware, but without the fancy design features. They only come in grey, with no fancy designs or bells and whistles. Speced out one for a friend, came out to having more power and costing less than the Dell she was originally going to get. Went on Amazon, set the filters to 17" laptops with core i5/core i7, 6 to 8gb of ram, Sager beat em all.
Definetly something worth looking into if you're more worried about performance than fancy features
