- Video Editing in high resolution, using professional grade filters, from raw video files or very large files. These normally require a very well calibrated and high color gamut display, powerful CPU and GPU and a lot of Ram.
- Photo Editing in professional level.
- Engineering project and simulation runs using various Industry standard software. Example can be MATLAB Engineering projects, Machine learning, AI based programs, different simulators
- CAD based works which can be both 2D and 3D
- Application development which requires compiling big codes, projects and even your game development.
- Encoding works like Video encoding using GPU acceleration.
There can be many more but those are some standard type of works people normally do with these kind of Productivity machines.Again, I don't get why people are complaining about the price and buying used. Obviously all laptops have massive depreciation but they aren't meant to be financial investments. Buy them if you have a need for the productivity it brings or if you want the latest and greatest at all costs. Don't buy it and then expect to make a financial return - put your money in a prudent investment vehicle instead.
People complaining about resale value and how "overpriced" something is on slickdeals are clowns. Relative to the previous price this is a good deal, and while prices may probably drop another 10-20% (probably more for higher margin laptops like this) as the chip supply crunch eases, if you need something like this soon, it's a good deal. Don't need something like this? Don't buy it, but don't act like you have some kind of moral authority.
Edit: I bought the 2018 version of this laptop, with the i7-8750H and the GTX 1070 (hence a step down) at $2300. Just to put it in perspective
As Suryasis noted, you can also find this price on Newegg if you're west coast located.
