So gauging a feeler here, would wanna move over to the Desktop Platform. Have my Precious Lappy to swop for similar value/similar generation specced machine.
The offer does not have to include a Screen in the bundle, but will be most appreciated as i will look at the current 2nd hand value of the offer and work on estimate i can see.
Please no silly offers, right to respond is in effect, and not in any hurry.
Some background on Machine:
Warantee Status: Active and fully supported until July 2022.
Condition: Near to Perfect.
Accessories included: Vindicator 17" backpack
Previous Issues: GPU Fan stopped working (2 months ago), Dell came out to replace and upgraded it to a better more recent version of the Heat sink Unit+2 Fans. Same time I repasted the CPU and GPU with T.G Conductonaut. So the Unit is new again.
Additional Info: Machine has been kept in excellent order, regularly cleaned with Compressed Can Air, brushed down.

Just to give some sort of Basics ill look at:
CPU: i7 8th or 9th Gen.
RAM: 16Gb DDR4
MB: MSI, Asus, Aorus
GPU: 1070 and >
Storage: SSD/Nvme Primary, Secondary HDD or SSD
PSU: 750W and >
Aesthetics: Case, RGB, Fans with RGB beneficial
Extras: Keyboard, Screen (Beneficial)
Good Condition as the lappy is perfect condition and still in Warrantee with Dell and has been looked after properly. No OC has been done, only UV (Under Volting to drop temps even more).
Can do most games on Ultra still with no Frame spikes, GPU Latencies or unwanted shutdowns. (Still playing the Battlefield series till date |BF3, BF4, BF1, BF5|, casual Dota 2, Titanfall, Fortnite, CSGO, Cyberpunk.
Temps without Undervolt is 96 degrees stable on Performance Profile, with Undervolt 86 degrees stable.
Stress CPU Test was done after the Heatsink+Fans replacement for 4H, and it reached 103 and still did not bomb out, avg temp on prime95 for the duration was 98 degrees on 100% on all cores. (Prime95 Used, and Firestrike for GPU)
Paste that was used was Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut (realtime about 200H before it Cures and due for repaste) for the IC's and chips, the heatspreader pads was replaced with a Dell OEM brand which is 12W/mK (Similar to Arctic and Gelid) which is rated for -40 to 200 degrees so they should have about 400H lifetime on them before having to replace.
