XMG APEX 15 is a Laptop with AMD Ryzen 3950X CPU Inside
Have you ever wondered how a laptop with a desktop CPU that has 16 cores and 32 threads would look like on a laptop? Well, today is your lucky day as XMG, a German laptop maker, has decided to launch a laptop that has AMD's latest and greatest desktop CPU - the Ryzen 3950X 16C/32T monster. The 3950X CPU, while featuring a regular TDP of 105 W, has been configured to 65 W in Eco Mode, and it runs anywhere from 2.6 to 4.2 GHz. The CPU also isn't soldered to the motherboard and there is a full AM4 socket, that is capable of housing any 3000 series desktop CPU.
Besides a powerful CPU, there are options for NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 or RTX 2070 graphics cards, which drive a 15.6-inch Full HD 144 Hz IPS panel equipped with anti-glare technology. The GPUs are a "Max-P incarnation" as XMG calls it, which presumably means that they are designed for maximum performance i.e. possibly higher boost speeds. Additionally, you can configure the laptop with up to 64 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz RAM. This configuration, containing Ryzen 9 3950X, RTX 2070, 32 GB of RAM and 1 TB NVM, costs around 2631 EUR. For more configuration options, you can check out this website. Availability is supposed to be in 6-8 weeks.

Looking at the way you are responding, seems like I agitated you a bit. Honestly dude, if I did anger you with facts, I apologize, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. Yes I did throw some opinions in my posts, however my points are still valid. If the vast majority of consumers like a product, no one in their right mind will take the time, use engineering funds, and design another very specific product for very specific people unless there is a price premium to it. Also, why exactly do YOU need a rather large computer when you need it to be portable? It WILL be heavier if you make it that much bigger, not to mention the additional space it is taking... when people go portable, they typically want a smaller computer and lighter as well. Might as well just get two computers if you really need that... One more example since I know you will find a way to contradict this one, I drive an SUV. However, I really like to have a lot of speed and horsepower so I want an SUV with a Hellephant engine (1000hp). I also want the best traction, so lets throw in AWD and race tires. Oh let's not forget, I need to take 6 other folks in my car, so it's gotta be a minivan. AND it needs to have ultra luxury, internal refrigerators, heated seats, just pure luxury. Seems unrealistic eh? That's because it is. Not to mention the engine costs 30 grand alone, and for a car to have all those features, will definitely cost 2 years worth of paychecks, assuming you make over 100 grand a year. Just for a car. Imagine how stupid someone would have to be to buy such a specific car when they could just buy several different cars for different purposes. Likewise, you keep insisting you need a 22" monitor. Buddy, I just don't know how to explain it to you that this is severely unrealistic, and there are better options, like using an external monitor (like everyone does on desktops), or even a portable monitor!

If there was an option for a 3900 or 3950x laptop with a 17/18" screen, I would purchase it today.
INSANE: 16 Core AMD Desktop CPU in a NOTEBOOK. Ah yea and I added some Liquid Nitrogen
Yes, it does blend.
