Laptop without HDMI 2.1 for $6600 in 2023, with igpu/dgpu both having 2.1 built in? This is some frank meanness from the developers of the laptop.
We go further - the screen with a shameful response of 10-13ms, which gives real 75-100Hz. Forget even about 120Hz+, "240Hz" is a pure fake here, for illiterate townsfolk. But the question is - what kind of people are they who do not know about this and are ready to pay more than $6000 for it?!
Why does this screen need a DCI-P3 color coating without HDR600+ support? After all, in normal work, all colors will be oversaturated and will be poisonous, because. almost everything is done in sRGB. For accurate work with color, the screen is still not good - AdobeRGB coverage is only 85%, which is not enough.
16:9 is extremely inconvenient both for the office and for YouTube (the controls run into the picture) and for Photoshop, where professional cameras generally shoot at 3:2. But for games, this is probably the best resolution, because. minimizes the load on the 4090.
It turns out a laptop only for games for more than $6000, because. even in the office load it is wildly noisy. Well, probably the manufacturer knows exactly his target audience - rich and deaf people... =)
For that kind of money, I would expect at least a perfectly quiet operation of only the processor (turned off coolers) up to 40% of the load on the cores on average. Plus 18" 4k@120Hz with 95%+ AdobeRGB and 1000 nits brightness (HDR1000) + full auto VRR support from 24Hz to 120Hz - you don't have to switch the refresh rate - the software should do everything automatically depending on the content and situation. Of course with real contrast of 2000:1+ at the level of LG "IPS Black" panel in a semi-matte design.
And of course, in a laptop for this price, RJ45 should be at least 10Gb / s.
3x PCIe4 x4 M.2 2280 slots the 4th is missing, as in MSI Titan 2022, where a fault-tolerant and fast RAID10 is easily created from 4 SSDs. The MSI Titan 18" 2023 made the same bad decision to reduce the number of M.2 slots to 3, which led to the removal of RAID10 support.
On the right (for right-handers) there is not enough usb-a for the mouse radio transmitter. The left-handed audio port is missing on the right, on the left, it is uncomfortable for them on sofas and beds.
Well, they already said about the keyboard - again a corrupted numpad (right arrow in place of Insert, which destroys fast blind typing using it)

For the debaters above about ppi - taking into account the fact that under Windows in the most popular Chrome browser, non-disabled muddy fonts since version 50 due to incorrect (and not eliminated for many years) black and white text smoothing, which introduces shadows around letters (and they should not be with the correct anti-aliasing version, as in Windows XP, for example), all people sitting at screens with ppi below about 220-230 spoil their eyesight in Chrome (under Linux, this incorrect anti-aliasing, as I was told, can be disabled with the command key line, but this key does not work in Windows), and these are almost all PC/laptop screens with rare exceptions. With what I "congratulate" the owners of these devices. I personally read texts only in Firefox, where incorrect anti-aliasing can at least be turned off.
Until all screens are at least 230 ppi, the problem of fuzzy fonts will haunt all browser users and especially Chrome.
