Best Buy: MSI GF65 Intel i5-10200H 6GB Nvidia RTX 3060 (Max-Q?) 8GB DDR4 512GB NVMe SSD 15.6'' 144Hz 1080p non-touch screen, WiFi 6, backlit keyboard 3-cell batt, pre-order $999.99

First laptop post, gaming laptop... Please go easy... and it's a pre-order.

Looks like a decent price to me. In the photos, I see two USB-C ports, but no mention of them or of Thunderbolt, so would assume no Thunderbolt. I see two USB 3.0 ports, a full size HDMI port and full size RJ-45. I also see a charging port so would assume no USB-C charging. Weighs 4.1 lbs. and measures 0.9" thin, not too shabby. RAM looks upgradeable with two slots. Webcam = Zoom / Google Meet-ready. Specs mention mini DisplayPort but I don't see one in the photos. Worth asking if it matters to you.
