Looks like a solid gaming machine, albeit again not the cheapest based on specs.
Things that stand out...
- 165Hz 1440p matte/non-reflective panel (note, BB lists it as 1920x1200, but it's 2560x1440p) 300-nit brightness
- Upgradeable RAM, up to 64GB (2x16GB installed)
- 2x NVME slots, one Gen 4, with ADATA S70 1TB pre-installed, and one Gen 3, empty
- 1x Thunderbolt port (USB-C form factor)
- 2.5 Gbit LAN
- 2x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A
- 1x HDMI 2.1
- Per-key RGB Silent Optical Mechanical (whatever that means
) backlit keyboard, 2mm travel. So probably not true mechanical, but likely has good tactile feel
- ~10-hour battery
Other spec
- 11th Gen Intel Core i7-11800H with 8 Cores & 16 Threads
- NVIDIA GeForce RTX™ 3070, 8GB GDDR6 (Up to 125W Boost)
- 32GB DDR4-3200 RAM (64GB max, upgradeable)
- 1TB XPG GAMMIX S70 PCIe Gen 4x4 SSD
- 94Whr with Fast Charging
- Wifi 6
- Bluetooth 5
- Windows 10 Home Advanced
- 4.2lb

Only annoying thing about this laptop is no mux switch, which is odd for ane enthusiast focused device
For this weight class, it has very impressive wattage, much better then Asus and Lenovo. This is actually a really nice laptop, but the price is too high.

Agreed, definitely weird on the MUX switch. I guess you could (allegedly [jarrods.tech]) fake it by attaching the external monitor to the output that's directly linked to the integrated video... but it's annoying, and probably depends on how the internal are wired, so some trial and error may be needed.

Normal workload there's probably around a 6hr battery life
XPG is up and coming but not good enough to price itself like Razer.

That said, there's a $1599 Maingear Vector Pro with 5800H and 3070 at Micro Center that will give nearly the same performance as it is a vey similar Tongfang chassis without the mechanical keyboard. The main differences are that it's a 1080p 240Hz display and not QHD 165Hz like this XPG, it has a smaller battery 62WHr and obviously it's AMD based and not Intel.

FYI this XPG laptop is exactly the same as the recently released Eluktronics MAG-15R.
