Thanks. Even though this is a gaming model, I do not play games. I chose it only because it looks good for graphics work, which I do as a hobby. A bit of vector and 3D.

I also do some very minor VS Code and Android Studio. 3D rendering is hard on CPU and a GPU appeared nice.

I cannot project myself looking for a graphics laptop as I am in search of a mid-tier model. This model offer 8 GB RAM addition and up to 1 TB SSD addition.

I think I can use an external monitor using HDMI.

Appreciate your response about GPU. I hope these will be able to run Windows and Ubuntu for another 3 - 4 years.

I asked for help mainly because I do not want to buy lesser-known hardware and get skipped while searching for drivers.

Your findings were very helpful. So kind of you.

JKLE:
Since you plan to use that laptop connected to an external monitor, you will lose the ability to be portable with it, so why don't you buy a PC instead?
Besides a PC being more reliable and less prone to damage than a laptop, it will give you more hardware upgrade options.
