How was this popular. Only 8 gigs of ram and a 1650.... seems kind of weak on specs. Would wait for black Friday deals.

This is there Black Friday deal. Many stores will not be doing traditional Clack Friday stuff in store or on-line. They are spreading it out Plus 800 for these specs is quite a screaming deal.

This is a hybird laptop as it delivers all day battery and light enough to carry around. Good luck finding other ryzen 4800h laptop that last more than 5 hours. Ram is cheap and easy to upgrade. 1650 is okay for casual gaming session.

Bought this in August, there's a whole subreddit dedicated to this laptop, follow their set up guides and you can get to 10hr battery

I wish they'd put the 1660ti version on sale. I'd be all over that one at $1000. This one doesn't come with the 120hz screen.

Do you feel like you wish you have the version with the RTX 2060? I just picked up the latter for $1100 Open box + Tax. I just ordered this one open box for $679+ tax. $400 difference for 8gb more of Ram (which is easily upgradeable), 500gb more storage, a better cpu and a significantly better GPU. I'm struggling with this. Guess I'll just live with these for a few days each and see if the $ difference is worth it for my usage patterns.

Nope, I have a gaming rig at home so the 1650 is plenty for me. If I didn't have a desktop already I'd consider the 2060 model.

The ram itself was a cheap upgrade, got another 8gb Crucial stick for 24$ with a newegg coupon.

Yeah, I've got a pretty solid 2070S system at home. That $400 difference can go a long way towards a 3080. Decisions decisions.
