The mobile 4080 is essentially a desktop rtx 4070. This is why it has 12GB of ram. Performance-wise, mobile 4080 has nowhere near the power and thermal headroom of a desktop gpu. Fortunately, Nvidia's design & TSMC manufacturing process = very efficient chips, and the end result in mobile form are surprisingly close to their desktop counterparts. Mobile rtx 4080 performance varies depending on the designs by Acer/Asus/Lenovo/etc, but roughly approximates a 4070 Super with weaker 1% lows (lack of clock speed).
Thin laptops like Asus Zephyrus and Zenbooks are often given less power or clock speed to the cpu, gpu, or both and have worse performance. Meanwhile thick tanks like this deal or huge 18" desktop-replacement laptops often have the best performance (or at least better cooling). This 16" Helios is on the upper-end of performance, but Acer in general seems like they've spent most of the past 2-3 years trailing Asus and Lenovo laptops on design and/or software. Can't say Acer isn't trying though as I think they updated this laptop like 3x in the 4-5 years. That kind of competition has been great for us consumers and probably explains at least part of why they fire-sale this laptop to get rid of it.
I CANCELLED MY ORDER ON 32GB because 16GB had two year warranty and was Certified refurbished which apparently is Like new compared to the 32Gb version which only had 1 year and is the lowest tier of reburbished on ebay 16GB of ram is $40 the extra year of warranty is worth it for me

I know that's a superior machine but the price difference is pretty wide. Wondering if I should cancel and grab this instead... I really don't like refurbs generally but this is a very slick deal.
But if the purchase/payments are going to be a stretch on you...this 4080 beast has been nothing but joy to me over the last 5 months I've owned it. So far in almost all games I've tried, I've been able to max every graphics setting out. It's always such a joy to me to do this! The first game I tried was Forza Horizons 5 and I completely expected it to be sluggish in the benchmark...heck no! I was getting something like an average of 110 fps. It really brought childlike joy out of me haha!
But yeah man...if you can afford it, I say stick with your 18" 4090. You'll be able to max absolutely everything out for years to come and it'll likely be very satisfying to you to own the best.
I've never had regrets spending extra (if I have the money for it) on high end electronics.
And I've been buying refurbished directly from manufactures for 20+ years and I maybe I'm just super lucky, but I've never had issues. They always come in what appears to be brand new condition with full capacity batteries and no scratches or anything.
This 4080 in this listing came to me as just that...what appeared as completely new.
