Good laptop. Display is great. Webcam is crap. Laptop is heavy. Good for basic gaming.

Not a good price this late in the game. I paid this for a new Dell G3 with same processor, superior 1660 ti max Q graphics, and 512gb ssd back in September 2018. THAT was a slick deal.

I believe this is the same laptop that was $450 around the holidays. I have this laptop and it is really good. I was skeptical about the single stick of 8gb ram but it is playing all or at least most of my games with ease. Including Warzone and Cyberpunk(Low Settings). It's not a perfect experience on Cyberpunk but it plays it. My desktop couldn't run Warzone stable enough on a single stick of 8gb ram and somehow this laptop can. Normally ram is the first thing I upgrade and I have not done it yet. I will probably add another SSD first as 256gb is about enough for 2 or 3 AAA games.

8 GB of RAM is a killer. Dual channel is needed for average decent gaming.
I missed the better deal you posted

This one and another variant were $449 at Best Buy and Walmart for a decent stretch of 10-14 days (not just Black Friday)

This is the Black Friday WM model. At the BF $450 deal price, this was absolutely killer value. At $589 it's a good price for new in box with its specs. However, note that it's not quite cutting edge.

(I got my hands on both the BF HP Pavilion Gaming laptops: the WM i5 9300h version and the BBY Ryzen 4600h version. I tested both)

The HP Model: Good IPS screen, good build quality, good gaming performance. Not too much flex around the keyboard, the track pad made a nice click. The i5 9300h is a solid enough processor - it won't bottleneck the GPU. The plastic used on both models is a magnet for hand oils. Keep a microfiber cloth nearby for a wipe down if you care about aesthetics.

The BBY Model (currently listed at $699 on BestBuy) has a below average display, average build quality (more flex, less solid feel), same gaming performance (largely driven by the GPU). The Ryzen 4600h processor is great if you plan on doing processor intensive tasks with your PC.

It'll play most titles released 2018 and earlier at full HD, high settings, 60FPS+.

A nice feature is that it's upgradable:
* there's an empty ram slot (add your own 8gb SO-Dimm for ~$30) - this will give you a dual channel performance boost of ~5-10%
* there's also an empty bay and connectors for more storage. Add a 2.5" HD (1tb $50) or SSD (1tb $90)

At higher priced tiers for gaming laptops, you'd look for:
* Display: 120hz or 144hz refresh rate; IPS with higher sRGB color coverage; higher max brightness (NITs)
* better GPU (1650 super/ti, 1660, RTX 2060)
* more pre-installed RAM (16gb) and Storage (512gb NVMe, or 256gb NVMe + 1TB HD)
* microsoft touchpad
* RGB backlit keyboard
* Faster processor (ideally a Ryzen 4600h or 4800h, but for some reason gaming laptops usually come with Intel processors: i5/i7 10th or 11th gen)
* WIFI 6 card

Well, the BestBuy model was available for a long stretch of days.

This WM model was only available at the $450 price for a few short patches of minutes over the course of an hour or so. Very few managed to get the $450 price on this before it sold out.

I think it was more of the fact that BBY had vastly more stock.
