I got the Sager today (fast build from them and expedited shipping included) and am installing WolfPack and Uboat now!!! The only custom aspect of the order was RAM and a Samsung SSD in place of the default hybrid drive, but otherwise it is one of their in stock builds.
Yes, it is a beast of a laptop and I would never even want it sitting on my lap, so I have a swing over table for my lazy-boy so I can work there and will likely use that. The thing weighs nearly 9lbs, and you're right, the power brick is huge and with a thick, thick cable and old-style four-prong connector. I have a couple of old raised cooling type pads I used with past mac laptops that I could use to give it a good inch or so clearance underneath.
Sager claims it is using the true 2019 updated desktop Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 and the NVidia control panel would seem to confirm that (as do the vents, where the whole underside basically is vented for intake). Size and weight wise though, it seems to stack up similarly to all the other 17" NVidia 2060/2070/2080 gaming laptops I looked at so at least it is not overboard that way.
If I did not have to use a Lenovo laptop and docking station for work, I would have space for a desktop, but for now at least this will be enough and should be fun. Just need Steam to finish downloads and installing!
