But the 1050 has a 25-100 percent advantage over the MX150.
But this one comes with a solid state hdd, the other a slow 5400rpm spinner.
This one is tax free for most too.
I think the BJs one is the winner for gaming, guessing this one for price /productivity.
This is really slick for under $500. Anything else at $500 or less and you're getting HD 620 Graphics. Only bad thing imo is the SSD is too small.
I also had no idea you didn't have to use a Mastercard for Masterpass. Good to know for the future since I know there's other deals I've skipped on because I thought it had to be a Mastercard =/. Just used my Visa with it!
That all being said, hardware here is still current-gen at this point.
Got the link available?

The 7300HQ will be better due to the additional TDP. The 8th gen can "U" series beat it but only in short bursts.

The laptop max RAM is 20GB...which tells me the RAM is 4GB x 4GB with one of those sticks being soldered onto the motherboard.
I'm not sure if this is a dealbreaker, but I'm looking on passing on this potentially very slick deal.

I'd like a bigger hard drive but I could deal with it (replace it; get an external). Everything else is great for me.
I have a laptop but it's a cheap ~$200 range one and I'd like something more. DANG IT. Tempting, lol.
