$1999 - $300 rebate card. It's a pretty big rebate card but it is a good deal for a 3080

A full TDP 3070 and MUX switch would yield better performance and would be cheaper.

Mechanical keyboard and build quality.

8gb is half of 10gb?

Yes, the Walmart $1399 L5P [walmart.com] is much better deal. It goes in and out of stock during the day.

The GPU performance of this laptop is really lacking and as per the reviews, most RTX 3070 Laptops with 115W + 15W (130W), perform equal or slightly better than this. The 125W + 15W (140W) TGP RTX 3070 always perform better than it.

And it is not really 105W. It is 90W fixed + up to 15W with dynamic Boost and during demanding games, with CPU + GPU load, it never goes past 100W and most of the time hovers between 90W to 95W.

Below is the review. You can check the comparison with other laptops.

Can't really compare. 16.1 vs 17.3. plastic trackpad and non mechanical keyboard, etc...owned both the lp5 and high end 17 inch models. If you're looking for one thing and someone says 'look here's a deal on a gaming laptop that's not in the same segment but hurray' I'm not sure how helpful that really is.

Of course you can compare them, specially if gaming is gonna be your main use for the laptop. The legion will blow out of the water this Aorus.

The 16.1" QHD+ screen is so much better and build quality is excellent.

Plastic Trackpad I dont think matters (I mean, who doesn't use a mouse to game?).
