    Amazon and BHPhoto have listing for the lower tier GTX 1650 model.

    It looks like a
    SAGER NP6875 (Clevo NH70RAQ) with a upgraded 144hz screen.

    Looks like System 76 is selling the model under the name Gazelle 17, with the 60hz screen.
    It might have decent Ubuntu support. https://system76.com/laptops/Gazelle

    According to the spec sheet Gigabyte plans to sell the Sager NP6876 / Clevo NH70RCQ model with the GTX 1660ti.

    Waiting for reviews!

    Exactly, this really feels like a step backwards. What were they thinking, The v7/v8 models were a great middle ground between thin/light yet still feeling premium with big batteries that give you 4 hours unplugged. Total disappointment.
