Good point…
I am sure Dell would for you jv.
This one is probably better value at $919:

Comes with a 1050TI and 128GB SSD and 1TB HDD.
I didn't go for it as the delivery times are getting very close to Christmas.
If you are driven by price, this Asus has the 1050 for $879 delivered, and a better screen than the G3.

Definitely pay the extra $20 for the better graphics card
That one is an 8th Generation Intel® Core™ i5-8300H Processor rather than 9th.
I'd still say the better card makes it a better deal.
For a gamers, the better graphics card is more important
It looks like the performance jump from 8th to 9th gen CPU is not much anyway ~5%
Plus 4GB of VRAM compared to 3GB!
pity the Ti is out of stock
Does WVA display mean TN panel?

it just means wide viewing angle, it's an acronym that Dell made up.
I'm not sure, I had a look in JBHifi, and the screen on the G3 looked to be quite washed out with a large bezel.
It seemed to be an area where they may have saved a few $.
I ended up going with a Asus Tuf FX505DT because it had a superior screen (120Hz with smaller bezel) and GTX 1650 for $1,071.20 delivered.

I'm pretty sure the G-series use IPS.
No
for $919.20 there is a different variant on eBay with a 8th gen Core i5, but with a GTX 1050 Ti (4GB VRAM) and 128GB SSD (paired with 1TB HDD).

You would think gaming laptops would list refresh rates on their screens, rather than having to go digging for them.
I assume it's 60Hz unless otherwise specified.
I'm wondering if HDD is included or that 256 SSD is the only storage it has
If it's not mentioned anywhere, why would you assume there is more?
Heads up for people seeking help:
- The memory (RAM) on this one is bare minimum. If you tend to browse with more than 10 tabs open, upgrade to 16GB.
- The 256GB hard drive (SSD) are good if you are sticking with 3-5 games, but the AAA titles like GTA5 or RDR2 will take up over 100GB each. For gamers I'd always recommend 512GB storage.
- Graphics card and CPU is good to play modern games at low to medium specs
Otherwise good deal and awesome for the price tag
Do Dell round down if I pay cash?
