Gigabyte AERO 16 OLED BSF
A 1.9 kg 16-inch with a 4K 60 Hz OLED and a 99 Wh battery for about 5 hours, the cheapest RTX 4070 OLED creator option here. The 60 Hz panel and 13th-gen i7 show its age, and the base 16 GB needs upgrading.

fedora: Raptor Lake H plus a 105W RTX 4070 in Optimus mode, NVIDIA proprietary driver required. Gigabyte Control Center is Windows-only, so fan curves are not adjustable from Linux. Suspend needs the NVIDIA suspend services enabled. The 4K OLED is 60 Hz only, so no high-refresh tradeoff to manage. Base config is 16 GB on slotted DDR5, worth bumping.
