EDIT---: Found a review:
https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/len...ro-5-gen-8
Pros:
Strong performance for the price
Quality build and port selection
Terrific keyboard
Webcam privacy shutter and USB-C or DC charging
Cons:
Display quality and battery life are just decent
Bulky and heavy
Very loud fans under gaming loads.
---Edit.
Digging a little deeper the AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS CPU has good mid-range gaming performance, but does not have integrated graphics. Why does that matter with a 4070 GPU on board? The 4070 pulls a lot more power than integrated graphics would, meaning that even when you're watching youtube or writing emails you are using the 4070 to drive the display resulting in significantly lower battery life than a laptop with both a discrete GPU (dGPU) and integrated or onboard graphics (iGPU).
The other red flag for me is that the listing doesn't specify how much power the 4070 RTX is allowed to use. Full power would be 140W TDP (115 W + 25W dynamic boost) but some laptops choose to provide less power, sometimes 60-80W TDP for the GPU in order to extend battery life or avoid overheating issues.
EDIT: I was able to find a more detailed spec and it looks like a full 140W TDP for the GPU.
With a height of 0.86" this laptop probably lacks a serious cooling solution required to control temps on a fully powered 4070. Also the power supply is listed as "230 Watt AC Adapter" where most full powered 4060 or 4070 laptops I see have a 330W AC adapter.
I have seen fully powered laptops with a good CPU with iGPU, FHD screen and 4060 GPU with a full 115W TDP listed on SD in the last few days for less than $800. I would recommend one of those over this laptop since you won't get the full value out of the 4070 without the 115W TDP, and a CPU with iGPU will allow much better battery life at least when you're not gaming.

25+ in stock in Tustin CA (South of Los Angeles) when I looked.

I used to get a more full featured editor and I could strikethrough if new info came to light, but I haven't seen the strikethrough option in the comment editor in a while and I don't like to remove previous info from a post in case it was already replied to.
This is a better laptop than I initially thought although still poor on the battery life side of the equation compared to similar laptops with an iGPU. As long as portability is not a priority and you can live with a fairly dim screen, this should be an excellent gaming laptop.
