I disagree with one idea you got: Instead of AMD processors and Asus's proprietary dock, go for a Intel laptop + a Thunderbolt eGPU dock. The generic dock allows for cost savings and some future proofing.
Sure the Asus dock has more lanes for throughput in the special plug. Except turn off the laptop screen when using an eGPU and it runs great without needing to push video from the eGPU back to the laptop. Also, it's still a laptop version of a 3080 in your dream Asus dock, while eGPU docks use desktop GPUs which feed more power to cards. So TB eGPU docks should be comparable or even faster on 2 fronts, without a proprietary plug.
Also, once USB4 comes out, then any machine can use an older TB eGPU dock. The Asus dock may be shiny today, but will be e-waste once USB4 is mainstream.
During the holidays, Slickdeals scored me a non-touchscreen 16" Asus ROG laptop, a sale on a Razer eGPU dock, a EVGA 3070 GPU cheap, and a pair of 32" 4k displays. I spent under $1500 on the hardware, $2k on the whole setup screens too. I'm living your dream... except on a budget!
has all the bells and whistles that hit my various needs.
can literally do anything and has one of the BEST displays of any laptop. the digitizer is a bonus for marking up docs or just toying around with art projects.
the dock, which costs as much as the laptop, makes it a true beast when at home (3080 graphics card in the dock)
wish I wasn't poor.... sticking to my 500 dollar Lenovo 2 in 1 for now.
but I would jump on this laptop given that is upgradeable (ram and SSD not soldered). paired with a dock and a 42 inch LG C2 OLED would make quite the home work station.
but... monies.... sad face
