It's a beast, but be aware the screen is TERRIBLE, 144hz is a lie and it suffers from some of the worst ghosting I've ever encountered on a modern LCD.
There's a model with a 1440p screen and another with a 300hz 1080p, both are well reviewed and I'm planning on trying to find of of those screens and swapping it in, because gaming on this 144hz screen is just terrible.
it has 2 m.2 slots, 2 RAM slots and a wifi cards slot, getting anything with an HDD is practically impossible now
all you have to do is flip it, take the backplate off and change add more
and WTF was that about 6gb of RAM? that's the VRAM.... and no, 32gb is still overkill for anything gaming related
please refrain from giving terrible advice next time
It is superb on a laptop
Most laptops at this price point are rtx 3050 (4gb vram)

The one on this deal is rtx 3060
huge difference between a 3060 and a 3050ti
Most ppl will recognize a laptop as a gaming laptop starting rtx 3060
Rtx 3060 hasnt dropped this low in price until recently
(Gamestop had a similar setup in a lenovo legion 5 for similar price last week, the thing sold out in minutes)
With laptops, you can't change a whole lot but I added 32gb RAM (total) and a 512 extra SSD hard drive and it's great. You can get 3 years easily out of a laptop, 4 depending on if you don't mind medium settings on the newest games that came out. A lot of it also depends (on gaming) if the games are using new engines or not. Most games are still using engines from a few years ago so I barely need to drop any settings on mine if I play. The ram is the more useful metric. 32gn on mine has done wonders for having tabs open and doing multiple things at once. 8gb on this particular model completely sucks in my opinion. I'd upgrade immediately on that.

But if willing to save more & spend up to $1100+ you can get a little better, like rtx 3070 or more features larger SSD space, 16gb ram, better screen, form factor, or better build quality from another company eg. Lenovo, or other...And if willing to wait one full year, then RTX 4060/4070 will be an option in the $1000+ range.
As far as future proofing, No matter which gaming laptop you select, it usually keeps you happy playing latest games for about 3-5 years....then everyone feels like upgrading again...whether that be console, desktop or another gaming laptop. (Some of us can't afford keeping on getting the latest gaming upgrade in that time frame, and just wait it out a few more years)...
Was going to hold out for another deal/restock on that Lenovo Ideapad with the Ryzen 6 Series chip but I'll take a chance on this laptop. The 3060 has sold me.
Its Walmart so you can test it for 30 days and if it sucks return it.
