Hopefully, there will be other $429 gaming computers available beyond MicroCenter coming soon.
Do you have any experience with that?

Excellent point!!
I have the Best Buy version with 135w AC adapter and when playing Forza Horizon 5, the battery will drain at a rate where I'll get about 4 or so hours while plugged in. When not gaming, the AC adapter is enough to power the machine, no issues.
170w did improve this, but it still drains while gaming plugged in ($30 Amazon [amazon.com]). I don't know how, maybe the adapter isn't legit?? I need to investigate more or step up to a 230w AC adapter, but I haven't made that investment yet to test.
I don't really plan (or have the stamina, lol) to game more than 4 hours at a time, so wondering if I wanna spend $100 on a legit/well reviewed 230w adapter.
Notes:
A non-AC adapter note: I want to say that I absolutely adore this laptop for its keyboard. It has my favorite feel and layout with a number pad, full size arrow keys, and full size shift button. As someone who uses Word and Excel a lot, I really appreciate this keyboard. It's to the point where I won't even consider a laptop without a similar layout because of the negative typing experience I'm going to have. A++ for this laptop in this category.
