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

So compare this to other 4070 laptops available at $1k. It's the other features you want to look at - the mechanical keyboard, all-metal build, screen quality and brightness, etc.
I would personally love a laptop with a 6800M - but this one has some big issues.

We know mobile GPUS are a scam by now, and this card is more or less equivalent (more less) to a desktop version of the 2080 series: https://technical.city/en/video/G...00M#gaming
Isn't the RTX 4070 the obvious choice at this price point? And yes, I am aware the 6800 has 12GB VRAM, but that doesn't necessarily help him against the RTX 4070: https://technical.city/en/video/R...ile#gaming

Only way laptops will ever beat a desktop is if they ever figure out a better battery and also superconductivity. Small form factor and heat will be solved if they can find a room temp superconductor. Until then we will have to live with heat problems in laptops.
