It is a gaming system; yet, the battery is not horrible 1-4 hours depending on how much load. Ie, streaming will get you closer to the 4 hour mark with a dimmed screen.
I plan on picking up a Quest 3 and then trying to use this box for SteamVR. The only negative is the touchpad buttons are very hard / non-responsive. At least for me, so an external mouse is a requirement for most things.
btw, I paid like $1100 (plus tax and an extended warranty) on the outlet via an SD.
For those interested in testing results... it is fast from a user standpoint. The synthetic numbers, of my unit, are slower than userbenchmark or 3DMark expected. This was tested back in November and the system has been on 24/7 since it went through a week of constant stress testing running (Prime, Superstition, etc). This laptop's 4070 beat my desktop 2080S system by around 10% (ballpark).
User Benchmark reported at 150% Gaming, 110% Workstation, and 153% Workstation.
3DMark / TimeSpy reported a 12,612 or so.

A good 32gb 5600mhz ram would definitely make a good difference.
Yikes! Might as well put aside the dumbbells and start lifting this instead.

If the Quest 3 lags though then it might be worth the upgrade to push out a little bit more performance.
I would say that the increased weight may be worth it for increased battery life, but you don't have Ryzen like with the Dell G15 5535.
Edit: My mistake, this 4070 model actually comes with thunderbolt 4 (not certified for PD), however the very common 4050 and 4060 G15s do not. Laptop is still a good bit heavier than the competition with no lighter charger.

The 10% code will not work with this current promo. Bummer!

one of the guys in my house senior yr of college got a 1st gen dell XPS (when the XPS was released as Dell's gaming laptop, which was actually just an Inspiron 8600, fixed on top of a massive pack (battery, fans, subwoofer)
it was 9 lbs, and the power brick was easily another 2-3 lbs LOL. we had never seen anything like it before, it was a monster. impressive at the same time.
it didn't even make it to 2nd semester, it cooked itself to death haha
We're you able to stack all 3 discounts? I don't have the amex 10% but there is a 6% back up to $75 with Citi double cash card.
