Good price for what it is, but unless you really want it now I wouldn't buy anything with CES going on and all the new things being announced.
That being said I think most people should wait for benchmarks and reviews in March when the new 5000 series laptops land.

Hardware spec wise these are still worth it for the price, even though Nvidia is reporting (that I would be highly skeptical of) that a 5070 can perform at 4090 levels. So if you don't mind paying the recent release premium, the new GPUs might be worth waiting for.
But I still expect the raw performance uplift to be around 20% based on the specs. You are right about 2024 models tanking in price, we are definitely going to see those go sub $1,000 in February leading into March.

You don't have be "believe" anything. Watch the keynote, the 5070 mobile comes with 8GB VRAM and is still 128-bit bus width so it;s highly likely it won't be more than 20% uplift over 4070 mobile just due to using faster GDDR7 memory.
5070Ti mobile is the actual step up in hardware with 12GB VRAM and 192-bit bus.
$1,299 announcement for the 5070 laptops is what the only real hard number we have for comparison, but even that's before the new tariffs that are supposedly coming that is going to hit us anywhere from 30-68% increase in costs depending on market segment and place of assembly.
