Close, But This is the QHD/165hz version and has a different processor....Well not exactly different. just 200mhz faster than the original 5900hx. This did get as low as 1299 not too long ago so I agree with you and I wouldn't buy. The FHD version/300hz was 1150.

Yes I posted this and I have also seen it for 1299 which I'm hoping it hits again so I can buy.

I bought this last time it was on sale for $1399, and I must say this thing is really impressive. I was not expecting much from a laptop but it's performance is actually comparable to a desktop 6700 XT. Only complaint is the small 500gb ssd

Also, the people mentioning it was on sale for $1299 don't mention that price was on eBay. These laptops have a history bad QC so I would recommend getting from Best Buy for easy return and exchanges.

Can this one be used with an external monitor(s) and the lid closed with no cooling issues?

I have had the 5900hx FHD 300hz 6800m version for a year now and this is how I use it 95% of the time. My son games on it all day, various games, hooked up to a 1440p monitor via USB-C with the lid closed and have never noticed any cooling problems. It's a very solid laptop.

I rather listen to a proven well regarded streamer like JarrodsTech. This review is for the non QHD version of the same laptop.

And a comparison vs the 3080 across over a dozen games

I don't believe they made a 4k version of this laptop. Just this QHD version and a FHD 300hz one which is what I have. As I said above, I run this to a QHD monitor and have no issues.

Ugh I want this but I want dlss too.

This was previously $1249 on best buy for a while, went back n forth on it but no dlss is making me hesitate. Still a good deal if u get a good one without the quality issues, it performs between a 3070 and 3080 for most games.
