Alienware 15/17 (2018 Q2) vs new Alienware m15/17 (2019 Q1 not yet released) vs Alienware area 51m vs razer blade 15

[weary]

I put up a post on reddit a while ago asking a similar question but I'm still kind of stuck and was hoping you guys could help out. I'm a high school student moving into 11th grade and am a hardcore gamer (only rainbow six tho) and I also develop games and apps that could benefit from a great GPU I guess in a sense this post is also kinda asking if I should go with rtx or wait for their "super" variants to come out. The main question, however, is which one of these laptops would be better (price to performance, durability e.t.c). The weight doesn't bother me all too much (I've carried these in stores) considering classes are an hour and 30 minutes long and it would only be moved 7 times a day. I would apply liquid metal to whichever laptop btw (or just normal Grizzly Thermal kryonaut depending on copper chamber blah blah).

I know this is a bit excessive (and maybe a bit of obsessive information gathering) but I really don't know what's best. The Alienware 15r4/17r5 are on par with the razorblade its RTX 2060 but have significantly worse battery life (like everything else on here). And even though the AW 17r5 may not be worth it compared to the AW area 51M I appreciate it's design and durability plus I would hate to buy a new gpu just for it to get replaced reallllyyy soon of which I guess the AW area 51 can combat bc of its upgradable parts (but for how much longer? When will it die?).  I've put up posts before asking for help choosing a laptop but this laptop is supposed to last me till college graduation (or maybe till high school graduation?)

Location? Budget? No preference on battery life?

In the US with 2,300$ and no preference to battery life. Although I only want to know what would be best out of this select category

If you don't have preference on weight and battery life, here are some good 2070 models:

Clevo PB71RF-G

Clevo PB51EF-G

Eluktronics Mech-17 G1R customize / EVOC 17GK7

MSI GT63 9SF

MSI GE75 9SF

MSI GE63 9SF

Aorus 15 - will overheat with auto fans, max fans will solve this issue but it will get very loud

 

FYI nobody can guarantee on reliability/durability in consumer grade laptops
