USE COUPON: SMBHOL10
I think it's the best option so far with the combination of the newest 8 core Ryzen 7 and an RTX 2060.
It's the perfect base to upgrade the RAM and SSD yourself for much cheaper than on the retailers' stores, to make it one of the most powerful laptops for the best price possible.

What will be interesting to see are the 3060 variants but the problem is that those laptops will still be 1400-1600 dollars. And availability on all 3XXX chips that will be dicey until 2021. Who knows when we will actually see them out on laptops.
If they lead with $2000+ laptops they are in for a rude economy awakening..
One thing to note is it's a heavy beast at nearly 5.5lbs. Not something I'd like to carry around every day.
5.5 lbs, including charger. it's actually around 4.3 lbs
That's the pricing anywhere in the US. You might need to look up what predatory pricing is.
The US has the best deals for laptops than really any other country. We're lucky. No need to complain 😊

Oh really... What were those 1065 g7 laptops at Costco going for.. $800ish..
If that's true, it's much better than I thought.

2060 also adds ray tracing. DLSS 2.0 is the tech that not only adds ray tracing, but can increase framerates too. So not only will the game look much better, but you'll get much higher frame rates.
Worth it in itself, imo. Will add a few years of future proofing, since all the new gen titles are utilizing it.
They could price the 3080 laptops at 3k and still get buyers.
- Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War
- Assassin´s Creed Valhalla
- Dirt 5
- Watch Dogs Legion
the 1660 is 20-40% behind the 2060 in FHD High. And even more at higher settings (Ultra), or at higher resolutions if you play on WQHD/4K on an external monitor for instance.
So it's pretty sizeable, and I think the RTX 2060 is more futureproof in that respect. That was one of the arguments that helped me decide.
This is an incredible steal.
The 1660ti version with 16gb and 1tb ssd was 950 few days ago...
