Not a good price/deal at all. We've had plenty better 5080 deals, both with OLED and IPS displays, and with 32GB RAM.
Even this very laptop has also been slightly cheaper than this.

Notably the HP Omen Max has been around this price with similar configuration a number of times.

MSI has:
-worse thermals
-worse screen (without VRR as well I believe)
-worse build-quality (Plastic-city)
-and most-importantly: worse QC with an alarming amount of user reviews reporting problems with their entire gaming lineup all the way to the Titan series.

I would argue that if this were the 18-inch model it could be offering enough to be worth the price -alas it is the 16".
