I bought one last week at Bestbuy for $1850 and they matched it down. It has one real caveat which is the battery life, but it is a gaming notebook so... I love it! Just ordered a second for my gamer mother to play on st this $1600 price.

It has two m.2 slots, one unused, and comes with 16gb (2x 8gb) sticks of memory. I bought a 64gb kit to put in since it's replaceable and I want to do some dev work on it.

The gpu is a notebook 4080 with 12gb vram and boosts to 2430mhz during gaming. It performs around a desktop 4070 roughly due to the TDP limit (165w). It has 7424 cores.

Laptop is fairly quiet on balanced performance mode with auto fan and boosts that high still.

No undervolting the cpu, but it runs well anyway.

Nice. I have the 18" version with the 1000nit screen but everything else seems the same.

Been a very solid platform.
 
Batteries in gaming laptops should be advertised as a built-in UPS.
I'm still good with my 10th gen i7 and 2060 since I did a upgrade not long ago and replaced the dying LCD.
Shame 2.5" bays and SD slots are few and far away these days.
