Surprised nobody has mentioned yet that this is from a 3rd party seller on Newegg and they don't have great reviews for the last 12 months. YMMV.
What?? Intel makes laptops??
The catch is mainly the Arc GPU since AMD and NVIDIA GPUs are more reliable/stable. Also, the A550M is close in performance to a RTX 3050 and if you're willing to spend $200 more you can get a similarly specced laptop with a RTX 4060 instead

This is a really great value. Bright display, the A550M is very capable. Really good weird factor too, always love that.

This is the correct laptop?

I wish laptops came with 2.5" internal options still so I could continue to use my extra 2tb HDD. It looks like it does have an extra slot for m.2 but that's much more expensive

What is the GPU equivalent to?

I was very surprised to see this. I use a lot of NUC mini PCs for admin machines, etc. The Intel NUCs are rock solid, but more expensive (and Shuttle, ASUS, etc. are on sale more often). I have never seen/heard of a NUC laptop. I would recommend researching this a bit if you are thinking of purchasing. An unknown product sold by "Craving Savings" with one 5-star, no review review.
The specs look pretty good for the price. I would love to play with this, but also want to avoid the burn (and I need money more than another laptop, lol).
I could not find a review of this exact model. Unenthusiastic review of an i7/A730M model at notebook check though. It seems Intel is also selling these with RTX 30 series cards.
If anyone buys one, please post a review.

Intel shows this as a Q3 2022 release and that "marketing is discontinued"

Might not be the exact same specs, but here's a review of the model:

https://www.notebookcheck.net/Int...643.0.html

The Intel NUC X15 neither impresses nor does it disappoint. However, taking into account its CPU performance and high power consumption, the laptop's price is simply too high.

Its inefficient Arc GPU delivers less per-watt performance compared to its comparable competitors. The same as on all current GPUs (RX7000, RTX 4000), the A730M features ray-tracing cores and AV1 support (decoding and encoding) - features that are necessary on a creator laptop.

The device's emissions are typical for this class. Practical runtimes of almost 6 hours can be classed as decent. Its USB-C port (Thunderbolt 4) doesn't support Power Delivery but it can output a DisplayPort signal. Furthermore, the laptop features expansion options (docking solution, external GPU). All-in-all, the installed FHD display (15.6 inches, IPS, 144 Hz) left a good impression on us.

An alternative could be the Asus VivoBook Pro 16: It features slightly lower computing performance in total, however, it benefits from longer runtimes, Power Delivery and a 16:10 screen. The Aorus 15 9KF-E3DE383SH could be a good budget alternative. Thanks to its GeForce RTX 4060 (TGP: 140 watts), it delivers much better gaming performance than the X15. You can currently find it online for around US$1,040. We already tested a more powerful version of the Aorus 15.
