Not a good deal, 1080p screen, 4070 can't exceed 100w, better get a 4060 or 4080
Interesting.. How do you know the 4070 can't exceed 100w? Do they say that in the specs somewhere? Otherwise, for a desktop replacement system which probably uses external monitors, this looks like a pretty good deal.

The 4060 and 4070 are both configured to not exceed 110-115W. It's a known fact.
Anything more than that gives you insignificant gains.
No, it can't.
The mobile 4070, no matter if it's mentioned 140W, it will be limited till 115W.
Id reckon you watch YouTube veideos and try understanding.

If you don't mind the weight, it's one of the best 4070 laptop deals currently available.
However, if you can get the Intel Ultra series 1 chip with a 4070 at this price point then that would be better in terms of battery and iGPU.
For the same price whats better? It is easy to complain but I dont see many deals at this pricepoint for a good gaming laptop!
Another member just shared a deal at this exact same price, or even less if you can get the sign up code, just above your comment and that deal is a lot better than this one.
You can add more than 100w but the effect is very minimum. Check this out basically it's a NVDA's strategy to force ppl buy top tier 4080 or 4090 gpu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMMrh6PpLI4&t=2s

Appreciate the link. Yea that sucks. NVDA basically becomes Apple now.

The laptop will sit on my desk 100% of the time. It is plugged in 100% of the time. So I don't care about the weight and battery. I just want something that's best bang for the buck.

This is a trash deal but because a staff member posted it it's obviously going to be thumbed up.

I don't care about the resolution as I use an external monitor.
