Gigabyte posted on its own Web site a legitimate marketing message that simply mentioned that their laptops were manufactured in Taiwan and not China, and that they were proud of the quality control there.
These impish young people in China, with the full backing of the Chinese Communist Party, were offended that Gigabyte would dare state that Taiwan manufacturing was better then China manufacturing. They swooped in to bully Gigabyte into shutting up. Sure enough, within days of them posting this to Weibo, Gigabyte laptops disappeared from all e-commerce sites in China, and Gigabyte had to issue a groveling apology, as if they had committed a mortal sin in talking about "Made in Taiwan".
For those of you who don't China-Taiwan politics,Taiwan is a tiny country where many of the Nationalists who fled China after the 1949 Civl War went after they were defeated by the Communists. While the Communists proceeded to murder over 65 million of their own citizens and engage in human rights abuses that continue to this day, Taiwan became one of the economic powerhouse in Asia.
Now that China is become an economic force in itself, it is brainwashing its citizens to view Taiwan not as the independent country it's been since 1949, but as a "renegade province" to one day be invaded and "reunited".
I don't know if you're offended by China's increasing dominance over manufacturing, but I sure am. When I see a deal like this for a Made in Taiwan laptop, I'm going to jump at it and I'm going to tell everyone to buy it, if only to prevent China from taking over everything.
If China manages to take over chip manufacturing and ODM production, that will be a death knell to this industry that America invented. Taiwan is the thin line that's protecting us from ourselves.
That's enough to get me to buy Gigabyte from now on (and thanks to the OP for bringing up this deal).

I'm using my Gigabyte Aero 15x that I bought a couple of years ago and it can still handle the kitchen sink thrown at it. Tempting deal but I'm gonna wait for newer generations to see if they implement Ryzen chips into this lineup.
I think I would hate a matte type screen. I currently use a glossy vivobook flip 14 and the glare is very rarely bad enough that it is ruining my day. But colors look beautiful like a nice phone display. Is the legion like this too?
I'm afraid I have never seen any of these newer laptops as I'm currently in the boonies of Mexico...

This is using the latest 11th gen intel mobile cpus that are using 10nm, and a new architecture, unlike the desktop 11th gen cpus that still use 14nm. Turns out they compete quite well with the amd 5000 mobile cpus.
Any cashback offers that are decent right now?

What it has that I want:
4k OLED 15" - small enough to carry and big enough to enjoy
3060 or better GPU
Two NVME slots
Quality keyboard
Thunderbolt 4
HDMI 2.1
Ethernet
i7 or better. Sure, a 9 series Ryzen is better, and so is an i9, and both can't be had with all these features at this price point. The 3800/i9 version is $3k. Not worth the extra dough. Actual performance differences are tiny.

Other thoughts:
Bonus that all ports are on the sides and not the back.
Wish it had more than the one usb-c compatible slot.
16GB is plenty of memory for me. I don't see myself using more. Right now, with dual monitors and many windows and programs running, I'm only at 10/16GB on the current machine.
4TB NVME is still way too expensive, so I won't upgrade to two of those yet. Will move over a 2TB drive or two, though.
Not sure if it supports m.2 sata.
Wish it had a touch screen.
Windows Home is just as good as Windows Pro for the features I use.
Running at 1080p on a 4k is good quality for gaming. This should do that just fine. Not that I game that much anyway.
Lol at everyone saying this can't play games b/c of the 4k. Nah. Of course there is better in a desktop of boat anchor gaming laptop, but not at $1,399. YMMV.
Will provide update later on how this turns out. Checking with some notebook forums, there is a way to get an unlocked bios that allows xmp ram profiles and opens up the bios option for optimus or dedicated gpu. But they say selecting the wrong option on a hard wired optimus laptop would leave the screen blank and need to use a bios programmer to fix it. Not sure why as the cmos battery can be unplugged.
