Would you mind confirming the power draw of the GPU? I almost bought this, but backed out at the last minute after learning it might be a 60-75 watt limited RTX 4060.
just ordered mine last night and they sent me an email this morning saying my order is being cancelled because it is not available. so i am guessing it is out of stock.

Is this one of the 13th gen i7s that's problematic?
Comments like these seem to be brought up in every single laptop thread here on SD yet it appears that laptop processors were never an issue in the first place:
I have an Intel CPU, am I affected?
Intel says that only socketed desktop 13th and 14th Gen CPUs are affected.
Intel claims that 13th - 14th Gen HX/H/P/U mobile CPUs are not affected.
If you have any other generation of Intel CPU, for example Intel Core Ultra (Meteor Lake), 12th Gen (Alder Lake), 11th Gen (Rocket Lake), 10th Gen (Comet Lake) or any other generation of Intel CPU, Intel says these CPUs are not affected.

The power supply is 135w. which is the most the whole laptop could pull. Obviously the GPU uses less.

They did the same to me and then I drive up thete and it was on the shelf under the display model. It's not marked 799 in the store but it rings uo that way.

How can you trust Intel after years of hiding the problem with 13 and 14 gen? I would never touch Intel forever. AMD makes better processors nowadays anyway. Intel lost my trust.
there have been some reports that laptop cpus are affected as well. Intel has not admitted it but who knows?
I purchased one of these from the Navy Exchange website about a week ago. I used a coupon so the delivered price was about $760. I have been using it for several days, and it has been working fine for me.
I reinstalled Windows 11 to get rid of the extra software Acer installs at the factory. With a fresh install of the operating system, I am getting six hours of battery time without making any additional tweaks. I was getting about 30 minutes less battery life with the default Acer installation. I also tried the laptop with Pop!_OS Linux, and it worked fine. Battery life with Linux seemed about the same as Windows 11. The only issue was having to add some additional software to enable the webcam. Information about that is here:
I'm planning to install a second drive and move Windows 11 to it. The drive that came with the laptop will be used for a permanent installation of Pop!_OS. I'm not a gamer, and my use for this laptop is as a general purpose Linux system with Windows 11 as an alternate boot for when I need to process photos while traveling. This model has an IPS panel with 100% SRGB. I think for my purposes, this is a good solution.

Also they were asking the GPU wattage not the wattage of the power brick.
