graphics card prices are very high right now, so this is actually a decent deal for portable pc gaming... but I doubt prices will stay this high for too long... maybe in the summer prices for gaming-class graphics will descend
If you can wait 9 months, then I'm sure there will be better performance/$ a year after that, too!
With Covid and mining, I'm actually pleased that deals on laptops are as good as they are... 'cause I can't wait that long.
ive already waited 3 YEARS buying parts to build a pc and then new ones come out etc so I sell my old ones and now I only need a gpu, so of course this bas with gpus tock happens.
With 30 series out, laptop with 1660ti should be around $700 to be a good deal.
I got my Dell G3 with 1660 TI for under $600 after cash back, about 18 months ago. Not sure why people still pay this much for a 1660 TI, regardless of any supply shortages.
Damn, got the same laptop but Ryzen7 4800H with 2060 vid for 800 before xmas from best buy. Give it a bit, this should drop like a rock once the pandemic gets a bit more under control.

Agreed It might make sense to suggest that people wait a month or two if you know some inside info about pending new releases but no one who can wait 9 months to buy is even looking at these listings

18 months ago is not today. Around the same time as you, I picked up a Ryzen 2700x for $130 at microcenter and bought a Red Devil 5700XT for just over $400.
The market is the market and I am thankful I do not need to buy anything today. However if I needed a machine or for others who need a machine, you do the best you can do in these crazy times of supply shortages and high demand.
This is a very respectable price in todays market.

Perhaps April/May we may start seeing better deals on older items....
But as you said not all purchases can be planned around BF
