Does it have to be a laptop? This one isn't exactly portable. Not to mention extremely expensive.

I have an R1, can say they are a monster of a laptop and very solid performers.

 

That being said as for the R2 model, it's even more of a beast but in order to achieve 120+ FPS at ultra settings it's gonna take a 2080 Super equipped model. You can cut the cost down a bit by configuring the 10700K instead of the 10900, that'll save a good chunk of change. You can opt for just a single boot drive and add your additional drives in for a lot less as the markup from Dell on SSDs and HDDs is stupid high. This also applies to RAM but beware as the R2 only has two RAM slots so don't plan on getting 16GB and adding another pair of sticks later. Also stick to the 1080p high refresh rate panels they are absolutely brilliant and you'll be able to achieve much better framerates at native 1080p than you will with the 4K option but that's just my preference.

 

Also IIRC the R2 does NOT come with the 2.5" HDD kit unless ordered with one and instead has; I think four M.2 slots total, maybe three.

The New Machine: Intel 11700K / Strix Z590-A WIFI II / Patriot Viper Steel 4400MHz 2x8GB / Gigabyte RTX 3080 Gaming OC w/ Bykski WB / x4 1TB SSDs (x2 M.2, x2 2.5) / Corsair 5000D Airflow White / EVGA G6 1000W / Custom Loop CPU & GPU

 

The Rainbow X58: i7 975 Extreme Edition @4.2GHz, Asus Sabertooth X58, 6x2GB Mushkin Redline DDR3-1600 @2000MHz, SP 256GB Gen3 M.2 w/ Sabrent M.2 to PCI-E, Inno3D GTX 580 x2 SLI w/ Heatkiller waterblocks, Custom loop in NZXT Phantom White, Corsair XR7 360 rad hanging off the rear end, 360 slim rad up top. RGB everywhere.
