Great deal on a mid-range gaming laptop! I got it for $622 with military pricing but students and teachers can benefit from a discount as well. However, the i5-9300h and 2060 combo is known to have some throttling issues so you may have to undervolt the cpu and apply a curve to the GPU to control the temps. Other than that, this is a pretty solid deal for a 2060 laptop.

I think the Gateway argument is a moot point - the $650 price on the i5/2060 Creator series was like 2 months ago, and the $699 was gone several weeks ago, so it's like folks here are comparing a hypothetical price drop.
Main benefits of the i5/2060 GW Creator model:
* Faster processor 10th gen i5 (vs 9th 9300h - this H model processor does not have integrated video)
* Higher refresh 120hz display (vs 60hz)
* thinner/much lighter (~4.1lbs vs ~5.5)
* easier returns with Walmart
Benefits of Lenovo:
* Lenovo is a much more proven/supported brand, at least in the US
* more ram (12gb) and storage (512gb) out of the box - upgrades are not so urgent
* likely has higher coverage of the sRGB color gamut than the Gateway, making it a better choice for prosumer video/graphic design/3D developers where detail is important.
* actually available at $699 right now! (The gateway creator i5/2060 costs $899 at the moment)
This was lower priced due to all the cons: 9th gen (instead of 10th), Intel i5 (instead of i7), 12gb (vs 16gb)and Screen was 60hz (vs 120 or 144hz).
-But the pros were still worth it for this price: RTX 2060 below $800, Lenovo modern build design, > 8gb ram, and a 230watt power supply (vs 180)
------
Older Ryzen, rtx 2060 will probably continue to be priced between $800-$1000 while RTX 3060 Ryzen 4000/5000 will be between $1100 to $1500 depending on a sale vs timing of sale (all year Feb-to-Dec).
There was only a few models with Ryzen7/9 4000series + RTX 2060 that have been available to anyone: average price of $1100.
Lenovo Legion 5 15.6" or Legion 7 17.3" -- from various sellers --lowest was around $1000 (or 900 after cashback)
Asus TUF 15.6 60hz at BB--lowest @$800
HP Omen from HP site --lowest was $899
Asus G14 ryzen9 / 2060mq--lowest was $980ish open box @BB
EVOO 15.6" 120hz - amazon --lowest was $1020
Eluktronics RP-15/RP-17 RYZEN 7--lowest was $1139

If you got the HP from Walmart, today is the last day to return is based on their Holidays return schedule.
Thank you for this ... I was able to save another $60 going this route.
Pretty sweet... the shipping companies have really upped their technology.
Yeah I wasn't too upset about the 60hz screen. I use a docking station and use my laptop as a desktop with a 144hz monitor. So it was a no brainer for me. I will also experiment with overclocking the panel to 75hz or more.
Thank you for clarifying - looks like I'm in the market for a gaming monitor now.

Page 35 in the above document shows how to remove a SATA SSD from this system. So yes, it does support one.
Thanks very much.
