Looking for the 4k 17" Laptop

There are no mobile 2080ti as far as I know and only a few even have the 2080 mobile gpu yet. Absolutely none are using non maxq variants. Your best bet is going to be probably the Alienware 51m that is coming out or the Acer Zephyrus (one of the only on market with a 2080 mobile so far) you are going to be getting mobile CPUs too so 4.5ghz on a single core is extremely unlikely or will burn the laptop to death if it can be overclocked at all. Also for storage you want M.2 NVME, caution because there are m.2 SATA. Also as for the 64gb of ram, not many/if any laptops offer 8 slots... You are asking for desktop specs from a laptop and a 5k desktop with no screen at that... Just the RAM (~$700) plus i9 (~$1,000) plus 2080ti (~$1,300) already puts you at about or over $3,000...

Ahh Sager, forgot about them, and sorry if I came off rude at all, weird they won't ship to the US. That is more or less a desktop replacement at that point and seems like it might have a desktop(custom) motherboard. What are the dimensions of that thing? But yeah as for DS IDK why but they are down to one choice right now, was 3 iirc at the beginning of January.

Have you any experience with or read reviews of the 20xx series in laptops though? It's not very pretty currently, lots of issues with heating or bad performance compared to a 10xx series laptop.

The Zephyrus is the best currently available in the US if I'm right and they have some good other options. One actually has a detachable keyboard and is kinda like a super surface. They are kind of the lead builders in mobile right now with very clever heat dissipation techniques.

But the Alienware 51m that is coming out soon is actually an impressive piece of tech. It is full serviceable, customizable and upgradable, without having to send it in for repairs. Has great specs and it is liquid cooled on the CPU and GPU if I'm not mistaken. Plus they miraculously kept it small.

So unfortunately at present DS doesn't have what you need, IDK about if something is planned soon though. Most recent system reveal they did was the Spark which uses the Nvidia mobile gpu, but it is a shoebox desktop.

a ok I must of missed it on the shipping.

The company I work for likes buying US only and since we already have one of the DS laptops they want to keep the one company for all of the high end Laptops.

Did not know the rtx had problems.

the ones you said are great for normal gaming and light work loads. but with what we do creating large scale building model . etc hospitals, College building, and normal k-12 schools. those would not last long and the ram would be eaten up in know time.

The desktops we have have 64G of RAM and on a daily I can use it all up withe all the models and files open. I could close the models down to free up space but then would have to wait 5min everything to be able to use it.


Well thank for you input. I may pick up the new areo 15x this year. Need that SD slot and none of the other got it haha.

Bro i just spent 2200 over at *********** for a rtx 2070 laptop. Well worth it, cant wait for DS to get their laptops up and running. My old DS laptop just doesnt cut it anymore for Esport titles and MMORPGs
Tracer 3R Extreme 17 VR800
I7 8750H

Go all the way to the bottom and select system builder then you can configure to your hearts desire after selecting a company

Originally posted by Alex We'll be adding our laptop line back within the next 1-2 weeks with NVIDIA's new graphics cards.

Thank you for the update Alex.

Um.....Sager is generally the supplier of DS laptop models....so when the newest DS 17” RTX model laptops finally arrive around the end of March, DS will just add the optional items to finish them.   Patience peeps....lol.

Thank you for the update.
