Second, I don't even think the 3000 series mobile GPUs are going to be able to hit native, steady 4k60. Maybe if you get a max wattage 3080 with 16GB of RAM, but even that's a stretch. It'll also probably cost over $3K. None of that even factors in a CPU bottleneck. If for whatever reason that 3080 is paired with an Intel CPU, forget about it.
Sure 1080p is on the lower side, especially in more expensive gaming laptops, but that was basically the sweet spot for mobile GPUs up to now. QHD (1440p) displays are finally starting to come out, and that really is the sweet spot for gaming laptops. Mobile GPUs will have a much easier time pushing that res at 120hz or 144hz. 4K is just excessive and a waste of money. Unless you watch movies on your laptop, output it to an older 4K TV, or do work that can make use of the higher resolution, you're not going to take advantage of it. And if it's a 13" to 15" display you probably still won't take advantage of the resolution.
Also, 3 sites are offering 12% cashback and one is offering 13%! (Google is your friend)
Can combine with 10% Amex cashback.
Came out to $1080 for me after tax
Thanks OP!

The 30 series is about the same price and much more powerful

thanks working for me now
The deal is better if you can use cash back sites and the Amex 10% cash back. Then you're save an extra 20%+
Right? This ain't a deal even with a 4K screen
