Not a solid answer but some helpful info..

Power supply is 230W. That being said, I would assume the 115W GPU. My 2070 Max-P laptop has a 230W brick and it is the 115W GPU.

Acer released a bios update for the Triton series raising the TGP. Not sure if they did for the Helios but this is what I found on the driver page for those interested:

BIOS
1. Update discrete graphic power.
2. Update 330W adaptor setting.
3. Disable DDRS setting for BOE LCD.
4. Modify C state to auto.

Me either, when you hit checkout goes to some page about "important disclaimers" that you can't get out of or proceed. Also coupon code did not apply so would be $1,040 before tax.

I returned it because of the way it looks and the sharp edges that i sometimes hit when i am typing. The big bezels didn't really help, but for the price, this isn't bad. I would get the legion 5 pro for 1200 on walmart for the build quality and screen, and thermals

The display was the main reason that I kept it for so long, it was bright, and accurate compared to other gaming laptops.
