Congrats, you're one of the first with the new chassis.

If you have the time and the inclination, post some benchmarks

What are the speakers like on the new models? I had a Defiance laptop before and I didn't like the speaker quality on it so I sold it.

i have the 4090 version and was also getting the freeze issues (especially watching youtube), one thing i did notice and it might not be an issue with yours. The bios has a setting for office/gaming change it to gaming, mine was defaulted to office, which massively impacted the gpu performance. The thunderbolt display output is also a pain but i think that might be due to an under specced cable vs an ultrawide monitor.

UPDATE:
Just to add ive not had a single lockup since swapping the bios over to gaming mode, my guess is that the driver was trying to pull more power than the office mode would allow.

I bought the 4090 with Samagung 990 Pro and 32 gig of ram - Are you using the latest Nvidia driver? That was causing issues - I believe it's connected with streaming videos on youtube etc. I rolled back to the driver supplied by PCSpecialists and all is well.
