This is really a Awesome deal for a 14" Premium Gaming laptop with RTX 4070 and a superb mini-LED 250 Hz display. Comparable laptops with similar configuration and especially display quality, mini-LED or OLED, are way way costlier.
Also, apart from gaming, this is a very storng condender for portable Workstation/Creator Laptop and beats any others like Yoga Slim 7, Asus VivoBook Pro 14, ZenBook Pro 14.5 at price and performance.
Only drawback is the soldered Ram of 16GB, which may be problem for some folks. But overall, solid deal.
Getting that amazing screen with a RTX 4070 and a decent processor is very good.
The other big thing thing here is how thin and light this is. Power, good screen, all in the thin and light package @ $1300 is slick IMO. It makes it definitely worth considering if you can make 16GB ram work.

Yes, reasonable but limited by 16GB RAM max kills the deal.

32gb of ram would be perfect machine, 16gb in 2024 is the deal breaker here, even a few tabs are in the 10gb usage already come on now!
Just for ha-ha's I went ahead and opened 10 tabs on Chrome, including one playing a Youtube video, google sheets, google docs, and facebook. On my older, ddr4 2933 16gb laptop, running windows 11 on a 10th gen i5 - I'm barely breaking 6 GB of memory usage. See attached screenshot.

10 chrome tabs is nothing. This is a gaming machine after all. Many productivity apps will be limited. Some games will stutter with 16GB as certain assets are loaded and unloaded. They are still rather rare, but rather safe than sorry as minimum specs continue to increase. Otherwise it's a perfectly usable machine if you know it's limitations.

My reason for commenting was in response to the person saying "even a few tabs are in the 10gb usage already."
Name one game that will stutter with 16GB of RAM at QHD, specifically due to the RAM limit (aside from Cities Skylines 2 that can barely break 60 fps with a 4090 anyways). System memory rarely has any impact on game performance with a discrete GPU. If you're playing a city building game at 4k or a huge open world game with 100% draw distance, it might matter a marginal amount, but most games will not be impacted by the 16GB of RAM. By the time that's an issue, the rest of this system will need to be replaced in order to play AAA games.
Yes, I agree, better safe than sorry, but let's stop acting like 16GB of ram is absolutely useless. If you're a coder, 3D modeler, graphic artist, or have some other heavy workload, go out and buy a $3k mini-led laptop you can go nuts with the ram configuration. For the price, this is a solid laptop for 99% of gamers and typical users.
