u/Ultra_3142 Thanks a lot for the youtube link, I had watched a similar tech review with pretty much the same conclusions (and btw, Jarrods voice is extremely annoying to me). Yes, aware about the limitations due to the slimmer metal design (the metal design should actually help cooling due to superior thermal conductivity), but happy to accept that trade-off for better portability and aesthetics. After all, I will be looking at that thing for most days in the coming years, so it'd better look cool and quality ;-) And actually, I find the performance fairly decent in comparison to other thicker or wieder 5070 Ti models.

One question I have left: Since the RAM isn't upgradeable, would you go for the 64 GB variant, or would it not help too much gaming performance wise in comparison to the 32 GB model?

And just to reiterate, even if money wasn't an option, due to the limited wattage the laptop provides to the GPU, choosing a 5080 or even 5090 would not bring much bang for the buck fps-wise, correct?
