Looks like System 76 has release a new laptop. The Kudu I don't get their naming conventions, but hey its a name ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Images seems to show its a chonky boy

Specs seem good, though at
Processor
AMD Ryzen™ 9 5900HX: 3.3 up to 4.6 GHz - 8 Cores - 16 Threads
Display
15.6″ 1920×1080 FHD Matte Finish, 144Hz
Graphics
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060
Memory
Up to 64 GB DDR4 @ 3200 MHz
Storage
2 x M.2 SSD(PCIe NVMe only). Up to 4TB total.

Price wise, I think its a bit on the expensive side. The price starts at 1,800 but that only gives you 8gb of ram, and 240GB of storage. Add in more ram, and storage and it jumps up quickly.

On the flip side, other premium gaming laptops like the razer offers an RTX 3060 model for nearly the same price of a fully configured System 76 kudu. I think if we got enough ram and storage for 1,800 I'd be more tempted.
