Oh my god...is that a 15" laptop without a number pad being crammed onto the side of the keyboard, thus not forcing all my typing to be awkwardly offset and uncomfortable?

The ThinkPad X1 Extreme (Gen 3 has just been released) is another nice one.

They ruined that by adding nvidia. All 15" ones usually do. Precision 7550 is the rare 15" laptop that lets you configure it to your heart's content without nvidia, but it has the numpad.

I think there are plenty of people doing machine learning, deep learning, ray tracing on the go that might appreciate such laptop.

All the ML stuff needs linux (or wsl if you are so inclined), and nvidia + laptop + linux = bad combination.

Why does that combo go wrong in a laptop?

I gave my MSI Ghost Pro 4K gaming laptop to my mother to browse the internet and bought an XPS. For her, in windows, it works ok, and if she launches anything that needs the Nvidia card it'll enable/disable as required.

Using that laptop in Linux was the bane of my life, Optimus is hell and if you want to switch between Intel/AMD you need to reboot, no thanks.

You can't use it for VR if you have the type of Optimus I had, where if the display was connected to the Intel rather than to the Nvidia, it wouldn't work. If you left Nvidia on, and tried to use it as a laptop, you'd be lucky to get 20 minutes battery life (not exaggerating), so it was neither great for gaming nor useful for productivity.
