Interested as well. I *think* it would be fine, but I'm not positive. This is the same laptop I've been looking at. Where'd you find the deal?

Hi, it was on Ebay. I spoke with Dell today and they recommended the Alienware m15 R3. Higher price point. Hopefully someone can respond and I can put this part of the puzzle behind me. It certainly has caused me the most confusion! Good luck, let me know what you find.

Not a full answer for you as I don't have a Mevo+, but I used to run TGC2019 for Skytrak and for my GCQ on a 2018 version of the Dell G7 gaming laptop. (I have since moved on to a 3080 gaming rig.) The Dell G7 worked well and it had a similar processor, but slower processor speeds (2.2Ghz) compared to the Acer you are looking at. I also had a GTX 1060 graphics card, so the GPU in the Acer is far superior. Just be aware that the 512GB SSD will fill up fast if you start adding other golf software (like E6) or other games. I found myself constantly trying to find things to delete to make room for FSX2020 courses.
