We love you Ukraine
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.
