Either cut it down $200-300 and give me no dGPU to go the eGPU route, or configure it a bit more but with the 4060, especially if this mini-LED model is marketed towards the premium segment.
There's an open-box 2023 M16 that is ~$1800 with a similar CPU and 4070, plus dual memory banks and dual m.2; the slightly larger form factor weighs in at 4.65lbs, but this model with the mini-LED display should be closer to 3.8lbs than the listed 3.7lbs
EDIT:
Also, without current benchmarks, I would avoid buying any H-series laptop these days; the chips are just too power hungry and some designs limit the power draw and you'll hit a power limit throttle only barely beating out last-gen AMD competition; the sweet spot was ~35W last year for 6900HS vs 12700H.
For example, my 16" Slim 7i with 12700H & 135W adapter got about 13500 on Cinebench R23 Multi-core, but the Vivobook S 14X with the same CPU but 90W adapter got only 12000; a higher end gaming laptop with more power allocation to the CPU and cooling could delivery 17000-18000 on the same benchmark when plugged in. The 7940HS goes toe-to-toe with last year's 12700H which is a huge improvement.
