That ridiculously low price for an rtx 4080 laptop that doesn't skimp out too hard on stuff like ram etc mostly makes this very slick.
I was reading/watching a few reviews and the takeaways are that even amongst other hot and noisy rtx 4080 gaming laptops, this Acer underperforms (GPU runs about ~15-25 watts below Nvidia spec) and is still crazy loud (60dB+). Even if you do not tweak voltage boost pl1 & pl2 etc settings to get the laptop performing in a manner more comparable to the 4080 competition, throttling is inevitable because the cooling simply can't keep up (no vapor chamber).
Basically you're getting roughly desktop 4060ti performance but with 12GB vram, decent screen, good cpu and ram, decent keyboard that has numpad, and a lot of your time spent tweaking this thing so you can enjoy using it for (AAA) gaming without insane noise and/or throttling.
For the price, definitely a good deal worth considering. I'm tempted but nah.

From what I could tell it got hot fast and was on the louder side but not horrible, it scored pretty highly, but unfortunately it was slower than my 3080 desktop which I was hoping to replace it with if it was equal or better in performance. On average between each test I ran compared to the 3080 desktop I have, I saw about 5-10% less FPS on average from the 4080 which is not bad at all, but I had my hopes and sights set a bit higher. Wanted to be even or gain some.
At this point, this is still an amazing price, the laptop looks brand new, but im going to be sending it back, so keep your eyes peeled they might restock it in the next two weeks.
I might just go after that Asus A16 and focus on a less powerful mobile option to compliment instead of replace my desktop.

Not sure how that would be equivalent in time spy, but superposition is free which is why I use it, so if you got it run it through there and let me know what you get.

I just did '4k optimized' and got 12054/12980 (on predator sense 'balanced' setting)
