How huge is the power brick? 330W is insane for a 45W CPU and a 130W graphics chip, assuming it even has the cooling to draw 130W.
Price? This is Asus and they have a reputation for being overpriced. This isn't an upcoming product glimpse, this is a LAUNCH, so the absence of a price in the press release immediately raises suspicion that they've omitted it because it's emabarassingly expensive.
Is it really the "Next Unit of Computing" 12 years after they claimed that name?
VR, AR, and AI have all been a thing since then.
There are no pics of the power adapter and the QSG doesn't really show the real size of things.If you need to ask, it's not for you...

It likely means AD106 vs. AD104 chip, 20.05 vs. 29.15 TFLOPS and 256 vs. 504 GB/s of 8 vs. 12 GB memory.185H "45 W CPU" is designed for 115 W PL2 only. 245 W plus spikes (plus SSD/USB/TB etc.) makes 330 W PSU quite tight.
Price vs Performance is always something to be considered... if price is left out, yea looks cool but not sure its attainable for me... it'd be like if Apple released the Vision Pro headset and didn't include the price...

Ryzen 9845HS or whatever + 4070 super
wonder why they didn't just build that
Honestly, I have no idea otherwise.
But......
But..........
Then it wouldn't have that silly KP-ROGr logo on it, nor would it cost $1700-2300, both of which would deprive AsSus of a few more of your precious $$ :D
So basically the same as most laptops.
Is the CPU socketed, and the discrete GPU swappable?
Is it MxM style?
IMO this kind of thing would be better served by an E-GPU
