If you're feeling adventurous, you could pick up the Core i9-11900H variant with only 16GB of RAM and a 512GB M.2 SSD for $2,500, and then upgrade both the RAM and storage yourself. (Side Note: the laptops I'm referring to can support up to 64GB of RAM, but we're talking about configurations available from the manufacturer). It's an option that we don't see very often in the PC space since most $3,000+ laptops top out at 32GB of RAM out-of-the-box, opting for a more powerful GPU instead. If I had to choose, I would probably upgrade to the "More Powerful" model above, mainly for the 64GB of RAM.

The XPS 17 in particular – with its more powerful graphics options, ultra-large 16:10 display, and the (optional) power of a top-performing 11th Gen Intel Core i9-11980HK CPU – is an interesting option if you're looking for a laptop that can do double duty as a desktop replacement.
