If you really want a powerhouse gaming laptop I'd say bite now and enjoy this thing rather than waste time/focus waiting for a sale that maybe gets you an extra ~$100 off. Tough to say how much better this price might improve by Black Friday (if at all). Nvidia's silicon is the biggest component cost by far in these high-end laptops and the company has an iron grip on pricing and what the market can charge.
As a comparison, 9 months ago, I jumped on refurb version of this deal (the screen might have been different?) after missing out on the 4090 version. I wrote a possibly useful essay with links in the 4090 thread -
We won't see new rtx mobile chips for probably another 8-9 months minimum, maybe a year. Neither Intel nor AMD are expected to top the mobile 4080 (aka desktop 4070-ish Super performance) within that time. Expect this laptop to be GREAT for 3 years minimum, and probably still pretty darn good 4-5 years from now if you relax your in-game quality. A 1440p native rez would probably help a little over the long term to keep 1-5% fps lows higher, but for my tastes I'd gladly take 1600p for non-gaming usage.
The biggest negatives would be on a user-by-user basis, and imo would be:
- no OLED screen. This is huge for HDR gaming imo. When not on the go, using this at home connected to an external monitor would provide the best experience. I have an OLED Steam Deck, Switch, and big TV. My pricey non-OLED 34" Predator widescreen monitor hasn't been used for gaming since 2022.
- do you prefer Intel or AMD cpus for non-gaming uses? For gaming only, it makes almost no difference here.
- the 2TB of ssd storage are on TWO drives. Personally, I wish this thing had just the OS drive and a further ~$50-100 discount, or else one 2TB drive for the OS so I could slap a 4TB drive into the second slot. Probably NBD to most people though.
(Edited) Last thing. Be aware of battery swelling. If a few years from now you notice any signs of the chassis bulging/flexing, check the battery's condition and shape to prevent it from mangling your laptop. Replacements are usually ~$100-200. If you're gonna pay $$$ for a laptop, make it last! Link below, and plenty more info all over the web -
1st one sounds like your opinion/specific use case. The SSD's in here will be fine for gaming, which is what the vast majority of folks would be purchasing this for. 2nd one is just wrong, opening a laptop to add more/different SSD will not void the warranty.
I'd rather them give me a 128GB SSD and charge less since the 2TB they supply will be garbage with very slow read/write speeds and I'll need to replace it anyway with a primary drive that will give 2-3x better performance and load times. Of course, once I open it up to install a decent SSD they will then void my warranty.

Not a knock against this laptop, but I really hate, hate, hate how nVidia just randomly renames their mobile chips up a class from where they are on the desktop. Call the graphics chip in this laptop a 4070 Ti 12GB and be done with it. On the plus side, a TGP of 175w should allow this chip to perform at nearly 100% of its potential.

It will certainly get better, the question is how long you're willing to wait. This is a last gen CPU now, and likely a last gen GPU in a few months. I wouldnt be surprised if this is $1600-$1700 in November during the holiday sales.

Last thing. Don't forget to replace that battery ~2-3 years from now to prevent battery swell from mangling your laptop. If you're gonna pay $$$ for a laptop, make it last!
Replace the battery evey 2-3 years? Thats a first.
I have laptop from 2012/2013 (battery life has degraded), MSI gaming laptop from 2017/2018, Nintendo Switch from 2017 and a Legion 5i from Dec 2021. None of them have any swelling.

I probably should have phrased that warning/caveat differently rather than assume other people will use their gear similarly to my use case.
You may not have experienced it, but swell is fairly common. A simple web search brings back plenty of confirmation of the issue. This link might be most relevant since you seem to be unfamiliar -
In my circle of friends, myself and a couple others have experienced battery swell. Most likely because we primarily use our Li-ion gaming laptops plugged in to AC power. Both at home and when traveling for work (which I do often), my Alienware laptop was a huge source of entertainment till the ancient gtx 1660 ti couldn't keep up with modern games.
Last year I had purchased this same 4080 Legion laptop when the next day the Steam Deck OLED was announced. I dabbled with the laptop after it arrived and it is VERY well built, but I returned it since the Deck is awesome and less than half the price. My prior experience with battery swell and my own use case definitely factored into my decision.
