I just want to warn you about nvidia optimus technology. I had huge problems with Dell G3 and linux because of video drivers incompatibility. There was preinstalled Ubuntu on this laptop, that's why I thought that Dell G3 works fine with linux distributives. But as it turned out, Dell made their own version of Ubuntu for this laptop. That's why my next graphics card will probably never be made by nvidia.
Pop!_OS from system76 become the only solution in this case. By the way, they specialize in selling professional customizable laptops. You can consider their products if you want, but I have no experience with their stuff. system76.com/laptops

Thanks for your insights. System76 laptops are good, but it is expensive for me :)
