"Good". @ $1254
If you can find one of these at this price and it doesn't break your budget I would go for the upgrade to 4080.
As with any BB Open Box deal, I recommend that you pick it up in store and open it in store in front of an associate to satisfy yourself that the condition is acceptable and that any needed accessories are included.
Review: https://www.notebookche
Pros:
+QHD+ display with P3 colors and fast response times
+very high performance even on Balanced mode
+excellent for both gaming and content creation
+high CPU and GPU thermal envelopes
+supports up to three M.2 SSDs
Cons:
-high power consumption; poor battery life of 4 hours compared to 6-8 hours in comparable laptops.
-bulky AC adapter, USB-C charging available, but lower power.
-no USB4 or G-Sync
-large and heavy
-software bugs that affect video and audio editing. Not a deal breaker for gaming.
If you want a high end gaming laptop, 3D workstation or desktop replacement and you can live with the weight and poor battery life then this is a great price for a very powerful machine.
If you value portability and battery life, then there are other laptops that would suit you more, but you'll pay a lot more for them.

battery life is bad, and I would recommend anyone using a laptop with optimus or hybrid graphics to turn it off
just use the igpu when you're not gaming (battery or plugged in, might as well conserve as much of your gpu's life as possible), and restart and use the dgpu when you're gaming
from my experience, it feels laggier and it has more issues when you don't just stick to one gpu only, and it tries to switch based upon the programs you are running which causes lag
my laptop feels way snappier when i did that, even on the igpu only
i would have laggy youtube playback, and when i switched to igpu/dgpu only, everything was fine and as it should be

I have a 7845X with 32GB of ram from this deal:
https://slickdeals.net/f/17418972-dell-alienware-m16-16-qhd-240hz-ryzen-9-7845hx-rtx-4080-32gb-ddr5-1tb-ssd-1619-99?v=1&p=170426
This is the manual for what I have (m16 R1 AMD). According to this, the max memory setup is 64GB 5200MT/s. Also has 1 M.2 2230 SSD slot and 2 M.2 2280 SSD slots.

So far, I am mostly happy with it. It is GREAT with any game I throw at it. I also find it to be heavier than the average laptop but not too heavy. I can sit with it on my lap for quite a while and the weight doesn't bother me. You can carry it with one hand but I use two because I'm afraid I might drop it. The power brick is also HUGE and heavy, but since its on the floor most of the time I don't care. The laptop BARELY slips into the laptop sleeve of my current backpack, no problem fitting into the wider backpack area if I needed to store it there. The combined weight of the laptop and power brick is noticeable when I travel with both in a backpack (I usually have 1 or 2 other devices in backpack as well). I might get a SlimQ charger for backpack travel.
I like that the memory is upgradable to 64GB and storage is upgradable with an M.2 2230 and 2 M.2 2280 slots, though so far I haven't found the need for more than the 32GB/1TB mine came with.
I can charge my iPhone 15 Pro via USBC from the machine even when the machine is running off battery.
The only downside I've experienced is it crashes more often than any other windows laptop I've ever had, maybe once a week. There is one scenario that happens repeatedly: my keyboard and bluetooth mouse stop working with the laptop while I'm doing normal work tasks like reviewing email or files, so I open the Bluetooth settings in Windows and BAM, reboot. I've heard that a clean install of Windows helps address crashes, but I simply have not had the time to do that AND the crashes are not problematic or frustrating for me. When gaming, I have not had it crash.
Oh, it's also a little disappointing that power can only be supplied via the power brick connection. You can't even charge the battery with the machine off via USBC. There is no Thunderbolt 4/USB4 support since this is AMD. I knew all these things before I purchased though.
I decided not to go with an m16 R2 model because, in spite of it being lighter, the max card they sold it with was RTX4070 and I wanted RTX4080.
