I'm sure it's great for people that want something like this, but it should be illegal for laptop makers to claim it has a 4070 inside, when it's almost certainly a cut-down 4070, so they can limit TDP and not melt the laptop.

The lightest, this makes makes me think, what actually constitutes a gaming laptop, I have an old Intel 530 laptop, I can play Abe's Oddysee on it, and probably fallout, which makes it a gaming laptop, why do gamers chase the latest hardware when for mere cents they can get a good experience, an experience which was a dream to many.

It's just marketing terms and they carry zero weight (lol) or reasoning anymore. Best to ignore anything a company says and just look at the hardware and its use case. Companies will continue to lie to consumers and nothing will change that
