The catch is that you'll have to supply your own SSD, HDD, and operating system as these will ship as barebones systems. The Mech-16 GP and Mech-17 GP2 share the same chassis designs as the Schenker XMG Neo 16 E23 and Neo 17 E23, respectively.https://www.notebookcheck.net/Eluktronics-Mech-16-GP-and-Mech-17-GP2-are-the-first-GeForce-RTX-4090-laptops-to-retail-for-under-US-3000.695621.0.html
Pfft.
They still force you to buy super expensive unnecessary CPU's for most situations. They continue to be too expensive.
$3000 is not impressive. The laptop "4090" is a 4080 without $100 giant cooler and power circuitry. nvidia can make real killing even if they decide to sell it @$700. honestly the rest of the laptop is not worth more than $1200
these silly $4000-5500 desktop replacements can be sold at half the price next year sales while still making money.
