HOW Did BestBuy Sell This Gaming Laptop So CHEAP?!

[@drake5557]

Ended up purchasing one of these for $479 a couple of days ago. Went ahead and got an additional 8gb stick on amazon. After shipping and taxes, $517 usd for everything. That's insane, thanks!

I got a 500$ Victus with the 1650 a few years ago, mostly for school and light gaming, and I honestly really liked it. I did immediately upgrade the RAM, and then eventually got a larger SSD.

If I went prebuilt, I'd pick either Victus or Omen. But only refurbished.

My youngest bought an MSI about three years ago, 10th gen i5, 1650 ang 8GB of RAM for $498, immediate RAM upgrade and 1TB SSD upgrade. Back then it was a pretty solid deal for about $560 total.

​@@jponz85well good for you 👍 2070super for $450 is crazy deal but a 4060 + 32gb ddr5 + 1tb ssd for $899 wasn't bad either (its still cheaper than current market price).

[@-_.H-S-P._-]

​@@andyy0801update?

[@andyy0801]

@@manuelgarcia739 Finally got around to opening it. Big upgrade from my previous HP Pavillion gaming laptop. Before I even turned it on, I installed a 32 GB DDR5 ram card in the extra slot so I have a total of 40 GB now. Unfortunately, there’s no slot for a 2.5” hard drive and there’s only one slot for the m.2 so it seems the only two ways to upgrade storage is by upgrading the m.2 to a larger capacity or using an external drive. I’ll be upgrading that m.2 later for sure. As far as how the laptop runs, I can say that it runs fantastic. Much more than enough for normal use and pretty sufficient for casual gaming. I’ve only installed Fortnite and Beam NG (mostly because of the storage limitations) and both run really well. Fortnite runs at a consistent 100-120 fps on high graphics while Beam NG runs at a consistent 80-100 fps at high settings. I don’t know how well the laptop would perform with just the 8 GB of ram that it comes with but I’m assuming it wouldn’t be as good, so I highly recommend upgrading the ram if you end up getting it.

[@tim3172]

12:27 "You also have a spot for a 2.5" SSD". Uhh... no you don't. There is no SATA power or data connector. Also, forewarning: this laptop ships with a combination of Realtek and MediaTek wireless cards (6 or 6e depending on the config) which are straight garbage. You can upgrade to a Qualcomm or Intel card, but Intel moved most of the WiFi processing to the CPU starting with the 12th-gen mobile parts. AMD CPUs aren't compatible with cards like the AX211/AX411 because it requires CNVio2 Protocol support... which only exists on Intel 12/13th gen parts. The same applies for Intel BE200. It seems for now the best card would be an AX210, a 6E solution.
