If the deal comes with Slickdeals Rewards (Cashback), it's usually a bad deal.
This laptop is supposedly better than the recent Dell G15 10870h deal. It has a much better display (165Hz, 100% sRGB), higher powered 3060 (115w compared to 90W) and a more efficient processor.

If you got the Amex offer, then this costs about the same as that deal. Worth noting though, I was not able to apply any other coupons on top of it. Confirmed with the CS as well, no other discounts possible.
The other deal is this one with Intel CPU:
https://deals.dell.com/en-us/mpp/...etail/8z5o

With the STUDENT100 coupon, the price comes down to 1100 and stacking with Amex offer brings the total to $980+ tax.

I dont know what the "normal" stress temps are, but isnt that a bit too hot? Even at max stress I feel the temps should sty under 90

You'd figure the computer would throttle if it got too hot right? I was able to run cinebench for 10 minutes and the results were consistent. Ambient Temps were around 78F.

You are right, but in general very high temperature could affect the lifespan of the device, doesnt it? Even if they operate within manufacturer specs. I think Jarrod covered that in one of his videos which points to the benefits of undervolting.

Good points. Gonna look into it a little more. I guess if the laptop lasts 3 years I'd be content. Upgrading from that OP walmart deal 3 years back sporting an i7 and gtx 1060. That was a decent machine..

I used the Alienware software and went to the ram timings and it reported 17-17-17-39. Can we trust these numbers?

Well I received mine today and am already thinking of sending it back, VR air link isn't working, and I don't understand the GFX situation, how do I get the 3060 to be the prime all and everything gfx and not the chip Radeon gfx.

It doesn't have a MUX switch if that's what you meant.

You can try disabling/uninstalling the device from Device Manager if you never want to run the integrated Radeon graphics

I just got the laptop, everything works but for some reason, I am unable to press some of the keys together. For example, in Valorant, I can't press S + D and space at the same time. I can't find any fixes online or anyone else with the same problem, any help please?

How can you tell if one 3060 is higher power and one lower power? Reports from other people?

Does the 3060 115w give you noticeable improvements in games and crypto mining?
Yes to games, no to crypto unless electricity is free.

As of today (6/16) I'm getting only a $28.60 off -- for a price of $1401.39. It had the lower price yesterday; did this end?

Just for reference in case, anyone else has this issue with their oculus air link connection, Apparently, you will need to roll back the drive on your 3060 to version 461.92, to get a solid connection and have your oculus work, I spend a lot of time research this and have had success. these big companies need to get together and talk before breaking drivers.

Dell Inspiron 7577? I'm still using it and never had any major issues. I think it's still good and relevant, but am upgrading since I've got the savings.

Quote from AoDAzrael :
Yeah kinda stuck on where to go at the moment. I was actually waiting on the Legion 5 or Legion 5 Pro since the specifications and features list seemed amazing for the price, but real world testing by actual reviewers indicate that the Legion 5 and the Legion 5 Pro are actually a bit disappointing with a LOT of chassis and build quality compromises especially on the regular Legion 5.

Then I was looking at this as maybe a good budget option that still met my minimum requirements (5800H and 3060) but people have been complaining about significant sacrifices here as well (no MUX, big and bulky, very ho-hum design and build quality). The Omen seems to have the low wattage version of the 3060 (although HP has some new laptops coming down the pipeline that may clear the Omen's weaknesses). Like should I just go back the ASUS and the Zephyrus laptops? Maybe hope to catch an open box on Best Buy?

I would love to see an open box with an easy return policy if necessary. All of your points are valid and I completely understand. Specs matter, but nuances do too.
