While this was a very in-depth review, it was so focused on twat results that it didn't really touch upon what it was like to actually game on the laptop. As far as pricing goes, you realize nobody ever buys these at list price, right? I purchased the i7, 16Gb, RTX 3050 Ti model for $799 at Best Buy this Christmas season. Why you rated it based on a $1,200 price is confusing, especially since it lists for $1,099. Perhaps your model had some early production issues as I have experienced no loud fan issues. It seems you let test results decide everything and forgot the important issues: can I buy this at a good price and have fun gaming on it? The answer to those questions is yes, you certainly can.
