    So Dell is offering a replacement for my 15r2. Since they are no longer offering the 15r3, it looks like it will be a 15r4. Think I have a shot at getting the i9 since my 6820HK was overclockable?

    I would have to say congrats to that! Lucky.

    Although they could "Upgrade" you to a 17 with the 7820HK/1080 potentially.

    I would decline the 17" model due to the size. I have an amp with a 1080ti so would rather have a 15r4, i9 and GTX 1070.
