Show me just one example of a BGA turdbook that can come close to this level of overclocking and performance and I will admit I am wrong. EVGA's press release is a crock.
Save your hate until you see some real world numbers from this notebook.
Also like said above, I don't know a single person who buys a laptop with the intent of upgrading it past adding more RAM or a new HDD/SSD.

I think you should take a step back and reflect upon your statements.
EVGA said it's overclockable, not the best overclocking in the world.
Saying this laptop is built for gamers, enthusiasts and whatnot is also not a 'blatant' lie.
They can market it however they want.
Also, BGA has nothing to do with any of their statements as 90% of said population will never upgrade it anyways.
EVGA said "meticulously crafted from the ground up for hardcore gamers, performance enthusiasts, and overclockers alike" and "the world's first TRUE overclocking laptop."
No hardcore gamer, performance enthusiast or overclocker is going to believe this for even a minute. Aspiring young minds certainly might be led astry. The comment about being the world's first true overclocking laptop is ludicrous in addition to being dishonest.
Anyone that knows the hardware will recognize the falsehood of these statements. They are misleading and dishonest statements. The only equally dishonest marketing I remember seeing was the over-hyped fluff Acer put out about their 21-inch Predator abortion.
I don't remember seeing lies like this from MSI, ASUS, Alienware, Razer or Gigabyte about their turdbooks. I think they're smart enough to know better. Apparently, EVGA is not. They need to be called out for dishonest marketing.
Save your hate until you see some real world numbers from this notebook.
Also like said above, I don't know a single person who buys a laptop with the intent of upgrading it past adding more RAM or a new HDD/SSD.I've already seen numbers for other laptops with identical specs. I am confident the hardware in this one won't be any different than the hardware in the others. Specs are specs, and what you can do with them will only take you so far.
You apparently don't know the people I do and it seems that you live in a different world with people of a different persuasion. That's OK, and I am not saying anything other than there is a whole lot more going on out there than what it seems you are familiar with.
And, now you cannot say that any more. Hi... Nice to meet you. I am Mr. Fox, and I am one... and there are many like me.

240W PSU is not enough for a GTX 1080.
If you try to overclock, either the CPU will power throttle like hell or the system will shut down. Base TDP of 7820HK is 45W. Base TDP of 1080 GTX is 200W. If it's using a 150W version, then its not a 1080 GTX at all. And a max Q version is not a 1080. Especially when it's going to lose to a modded 1070.
Overclocking? I can make my 7820HK draw 91W without rebooting and it's a BGA turd. So how is a 240W psu enough?
If this is a 150W 1080, you can still manage to exceed PSU limits by overclocking both. And if it's capped at 150, well you can't really overclock it if you're going to be hitting power limit nonstop.
But what gets me is "world's first overclocking laptop...." I mean this statement makes Razer (the king of viral marketing lies) look like Apple.
I would have kept my mouth shut until I saw that and then saw they tried to pair a 1080 with a 240W psu...
I'm pretty sure my 7820HK and 1070 can get higher scores than this system.
Here's 91W power draw on a 7820HK at 4.4 ghz without it shutting off or hitting Prochot#:
Can this 1080 laptop achieve this?

The statements that are lies are obvious on face value to anyone that knows what they are looking at. The trouble is, most people don't. Specs of this example alone are a disqualifier. Heck, 240W is not enough power for just one of my mobile GTX 1080's with a nice overclock. It's fine to make jokebooks for people that want them. It's not fine to make false statements that are misleading.
There is nothing "enthusiast" about castrated soldered BGA notebooks. Can they play games OK? Sure. Are they good at overclocking and producing impressive benchmarks? Absolutely not, in spite of what EVGA says about their special gamer-boy toy. They may have a place, but presenting to be something they are not is dishonest.
This is what laptops designed for overclocking perform like. Choose any of the submissions you want to. http://hwbot.org/user/mr._fox/
