Alienware m17 R4 and MSI GE76 are the current highest wattage 3080 graphics.

Intel is announcing 8core 11th gen CPUs for laptops on the 11th May, so there should be some refreshes coming soon, and possibly some new models from OEMs that chose to wait for Intel.

If you drop to 16" the Lenovo Legion 7 with a 3080 looks pretty good.

thanks for the reply both, I really was set on 17" but I am not sure how much difference 16 would be so will take a look.

Do we expect some new laptop announcements after 11th of May then?

Asus has teased a new S17 laptop, and Alienware has teased a new X range, believed to be the X15 and X17.
MSI also has something later in the month but MSI will likely just stick the new 11th gen inside their current lineup.
Aorus are refreshing the 17X with 11th gen, with a full power 3080 laptop GPU like the m17 and GE76, but it will be 1080P and 72% NTSC which is a disappointment. (I would have liked to have seen 100% P3 and QHD).

Going to wait until at least the 11th before I pull the trigger, man I just wish they upped watt on the gpus so a laptop 3080 wasn't more like a 3070
