The 3080ti version is 175watts for the GPU, the 3070ti versions it's listed as "125w configurable to 150w" on this MicroCenter in-house review ( which also claims even the AMD versions have USB4/Thunderbolt 3 support!) https://community.micro
I bought the 3080ti/12900/15.6" version in December when these were at their lowest prices (1600 for 3080ti, 1200 for 15" 3070ti AMD and Intel versions), but I'm regretting not getting this 6900/3070ti version in either 17 or 15 inch version as I think they'd have provided more than enough power at a lower price!
At least the 3080ti/12900 15" version is loud and hot, but not more so than other gaming laptops I've seen. It says "175W" for the GPU but i've never seen it maintain much more than 150 for any length of time. Build quality is pretty good, though not super premium by any means. I don't really like the keyboard on the 15" version, it's trying too hard to act like a mechanical desktop keyboard and ends up feeling too deep and spongey for a laptop. All in all, it's a great machine for the money! That said, I'm returning mine tomorrow because it's just too big and heavy for me and I found a good deal on a less powerful, but also smaller 14" gaming laptop I like carrying around much more.
I went to microcenter myself to look at it on display and decided to cancel my order afterwards lol. Still, the specs and price can't be beat with this laptop, best deal per dollar. However, if quality your looking for and using this as a standalone laptop without external mouse, keyboard, monitor... This is not the laptop for you in my opinion.
I went with the Asus 14" Zeph, got an open box for $999 with a 500 nit screen. I would go with the Asus Zeph 500 nit screen model or the Lenovo Legion 5 pro 500 nit screen if you want a standalone laptop.
I'll say it again, this laptop should only be considered if you plan on using all external mouse, keyboard and monitor. Make sure to get a laptop cooler as well since it has poor cooling. It is not portable and everything sucks on it as a standalone laptop. The only thing that doesn't suck is the specs inside it, which is why I recommend using it only with external needs as desktop replacement.

This model with the 6900 and 3070ti is probably the sweet spot, the 3080ti can't run at its advertised 175W but can maintain 150+ indefinitely in most situations. Plus, who needs 64GB of RAM in a gaming laptop?
Really, I found it to be a very impressive machine, especially at the price. I'm only returning mine because I after carrying the thing for a few days I was sure I wanted a 14" laptop instead since I.m traveling almost constantly this year and was looking for a gaming laptop that will rarely see my desk. If you're looking for a desktop-replacement laptop, these are hard to beat since you'll have so much money left over vs anything else with the same specs, and nothing of consequence to complain about with the laptop itself.
17" for a laptop is a lot for portability. Tack on the 5+lbs this weighs, not exactly great for portability. Spec-wise though this checks a lot of boxes. Processor, RAM, QHD, high refresh rate — a lot to like with the specs in relation to the price.

It's not a premium product, which is why it's at such an aggressive price. If you want near-desktop Price/performance, these laptops are pretty good candidates.

I really really really want to love this laptop at this price, but it looks like a terrible decision

I don't know how MC works, but if there is commission involved you always have to be careful about what salespeople say. I know that Samsung, HP, and Sony used to give points to employees on items sold to their companies. Intel did too, and I got a lot of nice things for pushing them over others. If they are saying HP quality is better than this, then that is odd since most HPs are not that good of quality.
Definitely commission involved but this laptop was 400 dollars more than what I bought.
