If reliability was better, it's very nice.. but I really will probably end up with a strix.

the screen is locked at 240hz which can negatively effect battery life (gets around 5 hours of video playback)
Many people are having issues with their usb ports whenever playing a game, something to do with Optimus. A bios update should eventually fix this.
Good deal but has issues
The 275HX is locked so no undervolting
The USB issue apparently happens in the non-S version as well.
While yes the screen is locked to 240hz I use it for gaming and just stuff at home so I don't need to worry about battery it's always plugged in for use. Even at 115W the GPU is more powerful than a full power RTX 5070M and the extra Vram is nice too. I recommend it

Most of the issues are addressable - including installing Linux.
The intel Ultra on this and every other brand that uses the same CPU that I have explored have the battery and heating issue. I'm able to get my temps lower as stated in my comment link below with battery life between 3-4 hrs on light usage which in today's world is debatable with laptops lasting 10-12 hrs on light usage. On the other hand this laptop CPU is a beast and crunches any task thrown at it.
If you can keep the CPU temps below 95 while extensive then it should be be fine.
In theory screen reducing refresh rate to 60hz should extend battery life significantly, but that does not seem to be the case from what I have noticed when my buddies tried various options available.
There is big thread on optimizations for this laptop version on rediff.
For the price and config the price of this laptop with 2 yr warranty is a bargain.

Update:-
The CPU is not locked, I use throttlestop to undervolt CPU voltage, you have to unlock this option in the bios.
