Wonder how it compares to the 4800h laptops. Bought the dell g5 se, and it's pretty damn impressive for what looks like half the price. They are at desktop level perf in medium form factor now.

I see they are on the Venkman plan.

Also Tuxedo, has a very close( if not the same) option..

yeah,
The only thing I noticed that seems nice is the rgb keyboard

But who will pay the price for this thing?
I mean so many options right now at half the price and good Quality/Look..

Just because you don't see a use for it, doesn't mean that there aren't people out there who do. There are a lot of people and organizations that buy laptops in this range. Especially of late due to the coronavirus. It's a portable desktop that's not bound to the office, that's great for CUDA work and has guaranteed Linux support by a human staff.

as sexy as a real Bonobo.

I can't believe you're comparing that to the Bonobo laptop in this article. Specs are nowhere close.
