I really wonder who's in the market for this. Of course gaming on Linux is viable, but there doesn't seem to be much reason to buy a dedicated premium laptop for that purpose. In between mobile gaming and handhelds, it seems laptop gaming is on the decline in general.

It's also worth noting that these do not come with dedicated GPUs. The best you can get is a high-end integrated GPU, which is pretty good these days but definitely not good enough to game well around 4K 120Hz
