If you're upgrading and have RAM and SSD(s) to bring over, or are on a tight budget, this is a pretty good deal for a 5080 with an i9, as it's fully-upgradable with two 2280 SSD slots and nothing's soldered. If you need more RAM or storage out of the box, the Legion Pro 7i with 32GB/2TB that regularly hits $2450-2500 is a much better choice than the similarly-spec'd version of this that's $2400 at Walmart right now, even at $100 more.
It needs some tweaking to be stable (MSI drivers are garbage, and the out-of-the-box settings are too aggressive for the cooling and cause overheating unless you dial them back with XTU) but RAM and SSD are completely upgradable, nothing soldered, and there's a second 2280 SSD slot available to make upgrading easy and plenty of room for double-sided SSDs. There are some design issues - I'm not sure the fans don't have speakers to make them extra loud like a 4-cylinder with fake V-8 sounds
