Got the best buy deal on this. Upgraded the ram to 64GB and added a 2TB SSD (there's two M.2 slots). The laptop is pretty easy to service, just be careful with the snap tabs along the hinges. I also replaced the awful MediaTek wireless card as I was having some bluetooth issues with my 8-bitdo controller. The Intel AX210 works like a charm in this laptop.

Overall I am very happy with this laptop. The screen is decent color gamut (Chi Mei N156KME, 100% SRGB, 96% DCI P3, 85% Adobe.) The thermals aren't bad at all, GPU stays in the low 80s and CPU just barely gets into the 90s while playing Baldur's Gate 3 or Starfield. The 3070Ti is plenty of power, and is a 150w part. Sure it's not as power efficient as the 4070 powered Acer Nitro 16, but at $900ish vs $1200ish (for less SSD at that) it made more sense for me to get this one.

For people that game on the go! We know and expect NOTHING from a battery on a gaming laptop. It's at the bottom of our list in terms of preference. For a solid battery life look at lg gram of apple air

Pretty cheap for the specs. What's the downside to this? Thermals? Gpu wattage?

I feel like the only way we are getting into slick territory with gaming laptops is when you find them on crazy clearance. Huge ymmv usually.

They throttle it on battery anyways. You'd never game on this without being plugged in
