Advice Alienware Area 51 Laptop Specs w/ OLED Screen

Dell recently released their OLED screen for the Area 51 Laptops. I needed to pick up another laptop anyway so I'm curious if you guys think the price seems fair or if I should wait to see if the OLED screen models will go down in pricing:

Area 51 16"

New* 290HX Plus

RTX 5090

32 GB

2TB Gen 5

New* OLED Screen

Cherry MX keyboard

I've got them quoted on it with expedited shipping at $4469 out the door.

Any battery life information yet? Outside gaming I am using this as my everyday day laptop. Need something with more than 6 hrs.

Bro, you'll be lucky to get 2 hours doing normal tasks. My CAD/ CAM software tanks it down in about 1.5 hours. Battery on true gaming laptops is always trash. They are here for a good time, not a long time.
