Perhaps a gaming laptop isn't the right laptop for you.

125W + 25W, if I'm not mistaken.
So, full wattage.

Absolutely atrocious If you keep it with the stock install (lots of ghost processes eating the battery) . Less than 2h.
After fresh install and not installing any Alienware crap. It was slightly better

Just got the ASUS M16 with RTX 3070 TI as well (opened box) from BB but this one is a couple of hundred cheaper so going to order this one and compare. Will return one of them. THanks OP.

Does anyone know what is the GPU wattage?

Thanks

Wrong specs, this is the one with 5000 series Ryzen 7, not 6000.

Ignore that, that's a mistake on their behalf.
in the overview of this laptop it states it to be the 6000 series and which it indeed is.

I noticed the discrepancy as well but which one is correct? It also shows the CPU model to be 6800H. My guess is the 5000 series is wrong and the CPU 6800H is correct. RTX 3070 TI was released way later than the Ryzen 5000 series. Doesn't make sense for them to use a 1 generation-old CPU with a new GPU. My bet is BB updated the CPU model but forgot to update the series description.

You can also haggle the price of open box items with the manager, FYI. Just be polite and ask how low will they let it go. They have wiggle room and can sell it to you as pen box with stuff missing or damaged so the price can drop dramatically.
