True. still, it's one of the lower priced 3070 so far. Still a lot faster than any 3060 ones. But yeah, i am not buying it. would rather pay a bit more for something with full on 3070 and more than one 4k60hz output

It is 85W but still produces good results.
Not sure if it has MUX.
The MSI control center app let's you overclock the CPU and GPU as well as push the fan >100%. It will sound like a jet engine if pushed that far.

Could bios flash it to 140w, mind you gotta get cooling pad and be in an AC room, MSI also guides you on how to bios flash the gpu

144hz? The display is fine. Issues with this laptop is that it runs hot and had only 85w GPU --still a 3070 gpu with 8gb ram for GPU alone. It's good for the price

Why does all the laptop deals this BF have serious compromises?

Cheapest price I've seen for a RTX 3070, no coupons or BS to jump through either. 5% back and +1 warranty with prime card.

What to do, one day only and cyber Mondays have been fairly tame past few years.

Lenovo Legion 5 pro with the full 140W 3070 for $1500 or less and 32GB and 1TB ssd was the best one ever but sadly OOS almost immediately. That was a no compromise 3070 laptop. Everything else had compromises

What is the compromise here? The screen?
