With that being said, the laptop/tablet is a monster. Battery lasts me 7-8 hours without using the processor alone and it does not make any noise. It is excellent for consuming media. It accepts any pen that works in a Microsoft Surface and basically any other touchscreen laptop. It is responsive and there is no lag on the input, plus it registers pressure, so you can easily use programs like Krita with a pen for digital art.
As for gaming, the thing is a beast and will chew through any game you throw at it as both versions come with a fully powered RTX (mobile) GPU. Remember, mobile 4050, 4060, and 4070, all peack ar 100W with no performance gain at higher Watts. This laptop goes up to 120W for the GPU. The laptop is relatively thin and light (4 lbs) and comes with a power brick that delivers 240W.
Whether you chose to buy it now, or at a better sale, you cannot go wrong with this laptop. Did I mention the RAM is upgradable? It takes DDR5 up to 4800MHz and I think the maximum is 64 GB. It has two upgradable SSD slots with one obviously occupied by the default one. My only complaint is that it is lacking a full numpad, but that is because I am comming off a Lenovo Legion.

I've only been able to find this for $2299 during Prime Day and then $2399 back in June. This is $400 cheaper than the lowest ever price.
