This would be mainly appreciated by Gaming enthusiasts and is mainly aimed at streamers.
Some things to note:
- Despite Best Buy and Corsair stating the brightness to be 600+ nits, reviews show it's only a bit over 500 nits
- This is Corsair's first ever attempt at a gaming laptop and they've done a bang-up job (according to reviews linked below).
- The RX 6800M sits somewhere between the 3070 and 3080
- Despite being an AMD config. it does have Thunderbolt 3 support
- Despite not being as thin and light as the ASUS G series, it's still quite light for its' size and components
- It has a wireless receiver in-built to the motherboard which can connect to Corsair products (such as a wireless mouse) without the need to plug in a USB transmitter/dongle

This of course is a lot better price than what it was tested at in a lot of reviews, and maybe there are some that value some of the streaming features and it would be worth it to them. For those just wanting this as a regular gaming laptop, it sounds like there might be better options out there for just gaming alone.

They fail to realize these sites are pay to play. Meaning reviews arent always honest.
First line of the product listing touts how amazing the display is but like you said they misinterpret the brightness by nearly 150 nits, that's a huge deal whether you are gaming or not.
Finally, a normal user would do fine with 16GB of RAM, maybe, in 2023. But a gamer? This should have come with at least 32GB if it will be used for gaming.
Other than those two obvious flaws its a decent laptop

I mean, he's not wrong. Just about every hardware journalist has benchmarked the laptop with lower that expected performance for the hardware. It performs worse than just about every other 6800m laptop on the market, and even has lower performance than some 6700m laptops. It has great build quality with some cool features, but it's performance is lower than what it should be due to thermal throttling. The laptop simply can't cool the hardware well enough to keep the expected performance. Both the CPU and GPU reach their max-temp and thermal throttle after 9-10 minutes under load. I think Corsair did well with this laptop in about every other area, but performance is obviously one of the most (if not the most) important factor in a gaming PC.

Here's my not total nonsense reviews site I almost always cite for laptops https://www.notebookche
cnet gave it a good score and seemed to have liked it but they did note the screen isn't as amazing as on paper theirs only hit 359nits as well.
Main complaint on some other reviews read like "It's cheaper than alternatives like the Razer Blade 17 and Alienware x17 R2, and the Voyager even carries some premium features of these machines like a 240Hz display and mechanical keyboard. Even those extras don't bridge the gap compared to cheaper machines like Lenovo Legion 5i Pro and Asus ROG Zephyrus M16 that always match and occasionally exceed the performance of the Voyager a1600." but that is mostly a price vs performance issue that really no longer applies when they aren't asking $2500.
Edit: Your posting says OOS but it's still available for checkout here. Seattle area, I'm not going to buy one just to find out if it's still in stock but it says it is up to everything short of actually paying for it.

Consumer Reports is decidedly NOT pay to play. They have always maintained their independence, and are probably the most objective and fact-based reviews you can find.
It's why I will always trust them over Joe Schmoe YouTuber "click me so I get paid" reviews.

Nice straw man you've got there. Don't mind me while I burn it down:
