Additionally, I have had this machine for several months and just did my first long vacation with it. It really is a swiss army knife of laptops. No regrets. The only advice is to take the factory brick with you or buy a travel brick that does 150W+, because otherwise when it's plugged in it will do a bunch of switching between power profiles when it draws down the battery and charges it up again. Annoying.

Pros...
G3e is faster for most games (correction: it's faster at "low wattage" - the AMD 395 can use more power and that makes the 395 faster), at least that's my understanding
Has attachable controllers that are apparently pretty good
Costs fewer dollars
Cons...
48GB of RAM (vs 64GB)
Much less established brand
120hz screen (vs 180hz)
Likely not as compatible with Steam OS

To get 64GB in a MacBook you're looking at the $3500+ Max variant.
Same reason the mediocre, underpowered Steam Machine is sold out everywhere at ~$1200 despite being slower than a base PS5.
If you need a laptop/PC and can get one at the "old" price point like this, it's a fleeting opportunity.
@dj3xclusive, based on my research, you can use your own charger, but it may disable Turbo mode and some other high-end features if you aren't on the supplied 200w charger.

Is it all just AI folks now?
I just bought a Zenbook S16 to replace my SP9... A 16" 3K OLED screen to massively upgrade from the 13" SP, while being only 0.5lbs heavier.

I took the excellent open box for $1340.
Technologically this thing is a marvel as it's insane how they were able to pack so much power and efficiency in such a small device. Nevertheless I struggle to find the target market for it and justify a purchase (purely my personal opinion of course). For the same price, you could buy a more powerful gaming laptop with a dedicated GPU or a cheaper one for productivity (like the ones in the previous post). 64GB of RAM is really nice and would be extremely expensive on its own but not going to be relevant for almost any use case outside of local LLMs.
