Ultimate power in a laptop may have its downside Frown | :( . My laptop has :-
Fast I7 processor
32GB Ram
Dual raid-striped SSDs
Kick-ass NVidea graphics
Bluray writer

But it's been away for warranty repair for the last 5 weeks after having mysteriously died whilst in sleep mode overnight. So far it's had
New motherboard (twice)
New graphics card (twice)
both SSDs replaced
a new touchpad
a new 'sub-board' (whatever that is)
...and still it has an intermittent fault that they can't get rid of

Whereas my old Core I3 rubbish machine, which I've had to switch back to in the meantime, still works perfectly.
Be careful what you wish for...
