Thr price itself is not a deal but if you add shopback 10% discount and $150 cash back if you have the amex deals, it comes down to $580 around.
I3, 8th gen
128 gb ssd
14inch screen
Fhd
220 nits brightness and 41 wh battery which may be a bit of a drawback.
Credits to dealbot (10% shopback and the coupon code) and forumninja ($150 off if you spend $750 or more,Amex).
Anything at similar price that you can recommend.
Pretty unhelpful suggesting getting something that costs twice as much and has features many don't need.
ok heres a suggestion Dell G3 3579 15" Gaming Laptop i7-8750H, 8GB RAM, 1 tb hdd, GTX 1050Ti. This has better cooling and performance. This laptop often goes on sale for 999.20 on dell ebay when there is a 20% discount. its only a 190 dollars more and comes with warranty. Dont just look at the price but also the specifications. Paying for a core i3 laptop in 2019 for that price is absurd. I wouldnt call it a bargain mate.
Wow plus TRS it'll bring the total to $520.
Can claim it for your tax return next year it'll be less than $300.
Yeah but i3 and 220 nits. I would hate this machine.
The i3 isnt that bad with dual core + HT and its 2.2 burst to 3.4 - however in this day and age you expect a bit better than an i3 and 120gb ssd for that kind of money.
Touchscreens are a waste of time on laptops and a reason why its only 220 nits.
You'd want to tax deduct better technology in 2020… there'll be plenty of sales between now and then… I bought a HP i7 & SSD etc. but the body has cracked in 18 months… never buy one with plastic body…. go for aluminum/metallic…
This same model was around $579 last week at JB hifi when they had a flash sale on just for 24hrs I think. No longer valid now, but think although specs are good for price, they are clearing this model out.
