The spec looks fantastic, if you are ok with the weight.

For the specs that's a bargain especially w the prices of memory ... only draw backs are weight, loudness and heating ... all which can be resolved w minimal additions

I had an intel 13th gen 285HX MSI Raider laptop for work with a 4070 and that was the nicest laptop I've ever had. I'd buy this in a heartbeat if I was shopping for a laptop right now.

Used it for multiple language translations. The i7 I had took 12+ minutes per language, and the i9 285hx did each language in under 3 minutes. It was impressive.
