Great deal if you want it earlier. However the processor isn't that great compared to the Ryzen 5000H series.

Confused I don't know why he posted that model when there's one with a 4800H for only $1199: https://www.cyberpowerpc.com/syst...G-R17G-100

So... where does this 3060 lie on the spectrum of 60W to 130W TGP? I don't see that anywhere.

BTW, this is the first decent price I've seen on a 17.3" laptop with a 3060.

Careful about that hard drive size. I am seeing 240GB.

That's the better deal, for sure. I wonder how heavy it is? I'm glad Ryzens are getting in on the 3000 Nvidia series action. Even this 4000 series Ryzen destroys comparable Intel competition.

So you'll have to add more nvm ssd drive space and ram --cost at least another $100.
I assume this is max-p higher watt TDP (or is it max q lower watt?)
-nice to see another RTX 30 laptop post on SD.

You can get 16 GB and 512 GB for $86 more ($1285 vs $1199). You can actually do all sorts of customization. https://www.cyberpowerpc.com/syst...G-R17G-200

BTW, I'm only talking about the Ryzen variant, since it's better and cheaper. OP should change his title and link.

This isn't a thin and light; it weighs 5.5 lbs and is 30mm thick. https://www.cyberpowerpc.com/spec...id=GM7NG0R

Since they have the capability of for good cooling in large chassis I'd guess it's a higher powered 3060.

Tl;dr version: customer service from this company is so bad that I would not recommend buying anything from them.

I would be extremely wary about buying anything from this company. I bought a Tracer III laptop from them last summer after doing a fair amount of research, which suggested the specs were great for the price, but that customer service was pretty bad if you needed service or repair. I took the risk because the computer was a few hundred dollars cheaper than other sellers. Fast forward 5 months, and I had overheating issues during regular use and the thunderbolt port on the laptop failed. My customer service experience since has been a nightmare, and it's still ongoing.

I sent the laptop back 5 weeks ago, and other than getting an automated response confirming they received it, I have heard nothing from the company despite repeated phone calls (totaling several hours waiting on hold with no response), a number of emails, and service requests through the website. I have no idea whether they've even started working on it, and my efforts to get ANYONE to respond have been ignored. Purchasing from this company was a gigantic mistake, one I will not repeat, and I'd caution anyone else against buying something from CyberPower just because it looks like a good deal for the specs. In my experience, it was not worth it.

Thanks for letting me know. I am assuming that their desktops are better as they have more experience in that arena. It looks like they "design" their own laptops and have no real expertise or QC in that.

Pretty sure they are a standard laptop chassis from Tongfang or Clevo or somebody. At any rate, it's no excuse for poor service.

Yeah, I sent a question prior to purchasing to learn a technical detail and see about their responsiveness- 6 days later still no reply.

I contacted their support through email and by phone. They didn't even know what the word wattage was and that the cpu and gpu have a watts range they draw on. Clueless.

Their support doesn't even know what a watt is, so who knows.
