There's nothing cramped about the keyboard on this 18" laptop, and you can easily use a mouse or gamepad instead of the touchpad.
An 18" screen from 22" away is the same field of view as sitting just 5.5' away from a 55" TV.

Even with my cheaper model, the build quality is top notch. The trackpaid has a glass bottom so feels very solid. I've never used a mouse/keyboard on it to date after ownning it for 4 months. I use a wired xbox controller and I can play MW/COD/Elden Ring/Skyrim at 1080p at maxed out settings. Keyboard doesnt have any flex. And decent audio as well. I bought mine as a "open box" sale at Acer website earlier this year for $700 and ZERO complaints. It also serves as a "gaming rig away from home" .. I was in Bali for 13 days last week and took this with me. The added weight/size didnt concern me. I was able to knock out some Elden Ring bosses during a monsoon storm.

That all said, even if you ignore GPUs next year, they will certainly release new mobile models with current gen 4000 series GPUs with Zen5/15th gen CPUs which should be a good boost since currently the GPUs are mostly CPU bound these days.
My statement stands. At this price it's too high an ask with the new mobile platforms on the way. If this was hitting $2200 at the most post tax, then yeah... A good buy, but at $2600+. Just no. Back to school sales and black friday/cyber Monday are not too long a wait at this point.
If you need the performance now, then sure.. Get it. It is a sale, but they can do better. Especially with the 4080 version being on sale and $400 less currently.
