Title: One of the only laptops ever with Radeon RX Vega 56 graphics is on sale right now for $1300

Performance will be just shy of a $2000 laptop with Intel Core i9 and RTX 2070 Max-Q graphics but for significantly less money. This 17.3-inch desktop replacement throws efficiency out the window for raw power.

one of my laptops, and I can say the only drawback is short battery life.
The coolling and fans are fantastic, the AMD Ryzen and Vega56 combination are great for the temperature.
if I can add another drawback is about linux, this laptop is not really linux friendly. Strange and sad considering this machine would be a linux laptop beast.
