Looks similar to the Newegg deal from April. There were two versions, one with gen 3 SSD and one with gen 4. A lot of comments in the postings. edit: those had better CPU and 16gb ram but same price after rebate.

If this video is accurate upgradeability is good.

It shows two ram slots, two nvme slots, and a separate slot to add an ssd. So could potentially run three drives. Makes it a bit interesting if accurate.

Wow that's disappointing if true, this has an MSRP of $1000 so I was expecting better.

Is this a joke?
Help me understand why this is FP?
The 16GB model had been available for this exact price numerous of times in the past. Yes, it was via mail-in rebate, but still.
The screen on that is 300-nits 72% NTSC.

This has half the RAM for the same price. Hopefully the screen is the same? Not sure though.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank Dr.W

Also, the battery is 49 Whr and the runtime is like around 4-5 hours max.

The 3050 Ti isn't even at full wattage of 80W. It's fixed to 65W TGP + up to 10W with dynamic Boost.
