Still very overpriced (I don't blame Microcenter for this), especially with no OLED display.
which part is overpriced? i think i would put word overpriced in a different context,

for example overpriced to me means there are cheaper options with that video card, cpu, and ram... and obv 18" chassis, and afaik i know not much even comes closer

vs, not worth it, because it's missing something that is crucial to you specifically. i think those are 2 different things, and for example... i have few deal breakers, such i need number pad on my keyboard, so others that don't have it, are simply excluded, no matter how cheap they are.

Sure if you have to have 18". But you can't convince me this is worth ~$1k more than the Legion with a 16" OLED. It is overpriced for these specs.

wait, what I am missing? https://slickdeals.net/f/18494713- or https://slickdeals.net/f/18465808 where are you seeing such legion, post a new deal for it

I have the previous model with a 4080 and the cooling is steller. The magnesium chassis, and Dell support are tough to beat. Battery life is bad, but you aren't buying this to not plug in. I've had probably 7 AW laptops over the years and this has been the best one overall.

Show me a 5090 legion then I'll shut up. Until then this is pretty good on price. Please don't respond.

So you ask for proof of a certain config, then say "Please don't respond"? Whether that config exists or not doesn't matter...the attitude to tell a person not to respond is not what this site is about.

Also, is this not a Legion with a 5090?

I think it is worthy of the repost, but I thought the OP deserves some credit, since the deal hasn't changed.
Please note, some stores have the open box of this for under $3,000
