Seems like good price for the specs. Also, this looks like the Tongfang chassis, no?

Good deal, just add ram for $60

This beats any 3050 laptop by far.

Wow, this is an insanely good deal. I've owned the Maingear version of this since early 2020 and it's been amazing. Played through Cyberpunk on medium high settings RTX off at 1440p, butter smooth. Currently playing Microsoft Flight Simulator at 1080p high settings, also butter smooth except some mild slowdown in big cities. The display is great too. It's been totally reliable for me. There are only three drawbacks. The power brick is massive, thefans get quite loud, and the keyboard takes some getting used to. Would highly recommend this

in for one, Dave2d review sold me. Thermals are HUGE when it comes to the actual usability of a gaming laptop and this seems to be the golden combo of competent cooling as well as solid hardware that's undervolted. 2070 (even max-q) seems to blow the mobile 3050 out of the water. Huge battery, 144hz IPS, glass trackpad: I really hope there's not a catch

Anyone know how this might do for video and photo editing? Looking for something to do some editing while on the go

ram and another SSD and your in business. 2070 max-Q will mine 38mhs with a 1000 mem overclock.

I see you all are men of culture. I welcome you. Lol
Reading these made me happy.

I was prepared to get downvoted because I knew what the layman would see is the 9th Gen processor and RTX 2070 and he'd think "oh these are numerically lower and are old so the OP must be crazy to post this as a deal".
Glad to see some people actually comprehending the specs and this deal.

Umm wouldn't recommend this as the first choice for those things. The screen, although great, doesn't have a perfect color gamut coverage with only 96% sRGB and 73% AdobeRGB. You want the latter to be as close to 100% as possible for color accuracy and to be able to do accurate video and photo editing.
Secondly, you'd have to add another 8GB stick to the RAM without which you wouldn't be able to do moderate-heavy video and photo editing.

So, it comes down to the scale on which you plan on doing these things, if it's very light and basic video and photo editing then this would get the job done just fine. Anything more demanding would not make this my first choice but it would still be on the list but a bit further down.

I'm real close to pulling the trigger on this. I'd be upgrading from a Dell with a 6th gen i7 and a 960m video card. It has dual 8gb ram chips, so I could just swap that out.

Hmm looking for a desktop replacement that is somewhat portable. I like that there are 2 memory slots, 2 M2 slots, and the build quality and screen all seem high quality.

Assuming it's 1 x 8gb ram, you can put in an extra 8 gb stick for about $30, and an extra 1 tb drive would be about $80?

So total around 760, which seems reasonable?

Performance wise seems like it'd be similar to an 11th gen I5 or Ryzen 5 5600H with a GTX 3060?

Good notes. It looks like I could move to 32 gb of ram for around $100, which I don't know if that would be worthwhile or not.

I'm just looking for a mostly portable unit. I'm running a side business that will involve 3d printing, 2d vector cutting, and I might be doing some twitch streaming on stuff like this. I've got an alienware desktop I could do all of my heavy video editing on if needed, just looking to have a semi portable laptop so I can work at home, studio space, and when I'm traveling.

If not this unit, any other suggestions on what I should be on the lookout for?

I'd check the speeds and make sure you aren't putting in slower ram.
