Although few things to keep in mind:
1. The battery life is AMAZING according to reviews, it cant get any better for a gaming machine.
2. The thermals are amazing and impressive given the form factor
3. NO WEBCAM (huge for me), no numpad (the trackpad also doesnt have a digital numpad like other ROG Strix Scar laptops)
4. The HDMI port is connected to iGPU rather than dGPU so you have a limited HDMI 2.0 connection instead of HDMI 2.1
Where this laptop really shines is QHD resolution. At FHD it is kinda limited in performance. So any kind of gaming where you are connecting it to an external monitor with QHD or higher resolution, this is A BEAST for the price.

Honestly speaking, upgrading ram with good sub timing alone would increase the performance easily by 5 to 10% according to Jarrod. And according to my own experience, MUX switch is about 5%! (Intel iGPU is about 10-15% deficit if no MUX)
These numbers are so huge that I can't believe it is true. But logic tells me yes it is true. Not sure why Asus does this.

got this deal + $120 back from Amex. 32gb of RAM. Should I cancel??
Personally, I use libraries (and DL models) which use some Nvidia tech which is missing on AMD gpus or not well supported so that also becomes a factor.

Total cost was around $1800 after taxes + shipping
I'm wondering whether I should cancel my order and go for this instead, though…
Any suggestions?

At STOCK it performs similarly to a lower power laptop with a 3060.
You need to use an external monitor and upgrade the ram to actually make use of the hardware.
Upgrading the ram is one thing, but the fact you lose 17% performance without using an external monitor is atrocious.
Because of the inherent flaws with this laptop at stock, I really would not recommend it. Wait for another similar model to come out that doesnt require you to use an external monitor or upgrade your ram to get the performance you are paying for.
