Great deal at this price especially with the screen.
However, just know that the 5070Ti in this comes from Acer with a 115W TGP, which makes it not actually perform much better than a 5070 despite the paper specs being much better.
You can flash Asus' 5070Ti vbios for 125W TGP (or even 140W if you want) to get the expected GPU performance; the laptop 5070Ti scales very well with power, potentially catching the 5080 at higher wattage if the cooling solution can keep up.

This does indeed seem to be an excellent all around laptop. I often find that laptops at this price will pair a decent GPU with a mediocre screen. This seems to have all the pairings to make it worthwhile.

That is actually pretty surprising.. I always thought the Predator models had the full powered GPU's. Good to know, and thanks for posting this!

S means slim which can mean power limits if the manufacturer thinks it will cause thermal issues.5070 Ti is power capped to 140W so it won't be catching the 170W 5080, unfortunately
