Hello, how are you doing?

I am looking for a laptop with the following specs:

1. i7 (9th gen)
2. 64gb ram

3. it can't be too heavy.
4. Thunderbolt 3

This will be used to work with VMs, and occasionally to play.
I will afford a nice eGPU to play.

I looked the New XPS 15 but I think the thermal problem will impact me (and later figured out that this has 32gb ram).
I saw MSI WS75, MSI GS 75, Aero 15, etc...

Any advice?

What thermal problem? All ultra-books are going to run hot. It's not a big concern.

No preference on battery life.

I am thinking about a New Dell XPS 15 i7-9750h 32gb ram gtx 1650 instead that specs.(U$2750)
And buy a RTX 2080 to make my game setup at home.

Do you think there is some i9 + 64gb with this weight?

There are but they can't handle the full power of i9, better stick with i7
