You're forgetting about that feeling of superiority when all those folks with i7 take a glance of your rig with Intel Core i9 Processor Label!

I was amazed to learn that there is practically no difference between an i9-12900H and an i7-12700H. Max turbo is 300Mhz higher and GPU is slightly faster. That's it. Cores and everything else are identical.

I'm not sure anyone can tell the difference between 4.7Ghz and 5.0Ghz. Rule of thumb is 10% increase to be able to notice.

And you're forgetting the laughing stock you'd become for buying a 3070 laptop for over $1100 at this point in time when you can get a 3070Ti for less, Radeon RX 6850M for just a few dollars more, both of which are way better than 3070; and even 4060 for less or around this price point.

Plus, the 3070Ti version of this was available at this price twice a few months ago on Amazon.

I think you also have to apply coupon code ARMMPPS to get this price.

A value of a device is judged not by one of its components (even though laptop version of 3070ti is not must better at all than 3070.) Care to share links to CURRENT better deals with 1TB SSD etc.?

A laptop is judged by its overall performance and price to functionality ratio. The i9-12900H in this chassis makes this device a microwave, reviews of which you can find online. So, not much use of having an i9 in this when it's going to thermal throttle to death and not even make full use of the 3070. Had it been 3070Ti at this price, then it would've been a pretty sweet deal minus the thermal throttling even then.

You could've searched the first page of laptop deals here and would've found a number of deals, but I'll do you a solid by mentioning them here:
1. The Acer Nitro 5 is a better laptop overall when compared to this. The processor is not as powerful but is much more efficient and like you said "A value of a device is judged not by one of its components". https://slickdeals.net/f/16665380-acer-nitro-5-laptop-15-6-qhd-165hz-amd-ryzen-6800h-16gb-ram-1tb-ssd-rtx-3070ti-1100-free-shipping?src=category_page

Other good options include:
2. https://slickdeals.net/f/16677377-alienware-m17-r5-17-3-fhd-360hz-ryzen-9-6900hx-rx-6850m-xt-16gb-ddr5-1tb-ssd-1249-49?src=category_page

5. Omen 17 3070Ti $1099 deal from Microcenter which is still available and better than this overall.

Right, plugging Ryzen 6800H or FHD screens - you've got to be kidding me. The only one that you didn't post I could consider a worthy contender (although with half the storage) for about the same price is this one:

Would probably be a good deal if you plan to use this with a cooler indoors. Probably not for a lap sitter outdoors though

ryzen < intel cpu

so... only #5 is relevant.

5. Omen 17 3070Ti $1099 deal from Microcenter which is still available and better than this overall.

i9 vs i7
same ram
3070 vs 3070ti
1tb ssd vs 512gb ssd

its about a wash after 13% CB. however, hp seems to have worse internals.

the 4060 is roughly 30% slower than the 3070

Good specs, but as an owner of a G15, I wonder how hot this thing runs. My G15 is scorching 100C

You need to check your facts, my friend. All benchmarks say 4060 is about the same as 3070 with 3-5% difference.

I have the 3070ti model with the i9. The laptop hits 100c on stock thermal paste. I swapped it out with PTM 7950, it helped it to where its mostly 80s but will still hit mid 90's when gaming. Be mindful of the surface you place this laptop.
