Here's the real link. This deal actually isn't that bad. The 1660 Ti isn't THAT much less powerful than the rtx 2060 benchmark wise; and $699 for a near 2060 level power isn't terrible

I don't understand why Dell always has 2x4GB RAM installed. If they have 1 stick 8GB installed, I don't need to throw RAMs away when I upgrade it.

is an option to consider when looking at this Dell....
Moderately worse GPU...than the Dell
Moderately Better CPU than the Dell.
$100 off.
(Note: Keep an Eye out for the Intel i5/Nvidia 2060 version of the laptop to go back on sale for about the price of this Dell) for a real killer deal.
Not a bad deal on the Dell, just the Gateway is getting lots of Love for a Gaming Capable laptop at this price point...
I also repasted the CPU and GPU for some better thermal transfer.
USB and SD 2.0 ports are head scratcher. Does have a 3.0 port and USB-C.
Did a RAM and SSD upgrade/Addition. DIY video is here https://youtu.be/qSZG-opCIQE

I have RAM to 32GB but under the heaviest load I barely break 12GB of use.
Here's my RAM video where I discovered the useless 2.5" slot. https://youtu.be/IHe-r941kFw
