Looks extremely promising. The RX5600M version would be the first full-AMD laptop in 2 years that would constitute an upgrade from my GL702ZC (Ryzen 7 1700 + RX580, 60Hz IPS), if they don't screw up the heat dissipation like Dell did. It also has more connectivity than the Bravo line.
There was the Acer Predator with a Ryzen 7 2700 and Vega 56 + 144Hz display, but it appears to have been rarer than hens teeth. Shame as I really did want to give it a try! This would beat that too, though, and probably at a lower cost.
If this doesn't have a terrible screen then it might end up on my short list.
I have the Acer Predator Helios 500 PH517-61 (Ryzen 2700 and Vega 56).
Its an amazing build which is ridiculously cool and quiet when fully stressed on both CPU and GPU (I do content creation, productivity and gaming, so I tend to stress the CPU and GPU simultaneously to the max).
Aside from a few other outliers, no other laptop comes close to this beast in terms of thermal performance and pretty good efficiency.
The only thing I don't like is the fact Acer never released a BIOS update to include support for Zen 2 and Zen 3... the machine has a removable CPU after all, so it can easily suppoty a 65W TDP cpu... or even a 105W.
