This is about $200 over market even from deals posted last week. Decent specs though.

What other laptop had these specs for 200 less? Not bashing, truly interested

Nitro 5 deal last week was $850, only an i5 but 2060/144/16GB, plays the most taxing games at max settings. Plus it's an Acer, you don't have to deal a lower tier brand.

Also would be wary of dealing with Newegg.

Haven't ordered from Newegg for years, they used to be good... Did something happen that they suck now or something?

Nitro 5 deal sounds like it was good

In 2016, Liaison Interactive (SZSE: 002280), a Chinese technology company, acquired a majority stake in Newegg in an investment deal.[5]

Anecdotally, they have terrible customer service and no rebate I've ever done with them actually found its way back to me. I wouldn't buy anything physical from them ever again unless the cart price were absurdly low.
