translating this to desktop would cost around 1500-1600 (4070 super, all brand new parts)
but i bet the experience on desktop would be much better (better 1% and 0.1% lows)
but, that is a topic that is like a dead horse at this point
i think this level of performance wouldn't dissapoint anyone, desktop or laptop wise
last gen's 3080/3080 ti laptop would roughly be around a 3060 ti/3070 desktop of performance, which isn't bad (i'm personally using a 5600 + 3070 myself), but for the top end of a laptop, which i would assume also would have costed around 2000+, that's not it chief
i hope nvidia keeps up with this level of efficiency and makes the next gen laptop gpus even better
Aside from that, some units will have the battery die shortly
When you're spending this much cash, most likely you'll be playing on an external monitor at home anyway. And a $700-800 laptop paired with a 4080 super in an eGPU will outperform this any day, and much more quietly, and at lower total cost.
I've had both setups and I just don't see the upside of going to a massive laptop. I loved my r17 with 1080 decked out to hell, but it was still attached to a 34" monitor at home, and I never ever took the damn thing on travel (even with the special Alienware backpack made for it). That means I had to have a second laptop for traveling. Now I'm on an AMD ultrabook with 680m that can do light gaming (Hades is always fun), and using a quiet modded eGPU with a 3090 at home on a 32" 4k. Best of both worlds. And I can toss in a 5000 series later.

I work from home (home offive) and been looking for a 18 gaming laptop so I can continue my 5th rerun of elden ring without having to walk to my living room to use my desktop rig.
And if you're traveling personally, let's say, are you really spending time playing video games on a personal vacation? Do it at home and enjoy wherever you are. If it's a work trip, which I've done a lot of, I'm carrying my work laptop which, at 15.6", reminds me how much I miss my 13.4" ultrabook every single day between home and office.

my ideal setup would be a thin and light + egpu setup that doesn't get bottlenecked by the connection
gaming laptops are dumb imo for someone who isn't going to be moving around, or if they need the horsepower for work
