I purchased the Asus TUF F15 that was on sale until yesterday for $599. I haven't opened it yet because I'm keeping any eye on other deals. Comparing the two, this Lenovo has a ~10% better GPU, but no thunderbolt, and a 256GB SSD vs 512GB on the Asus, at a price $50 less. The Ryzen 5600h and the intel 11400h appear to be about the same performance wise.

Doing some research, the Lenovo laptops seem to have an issue with the display hinges breaking. And it's not clear if this 2021 model has improved hinges. The Asus Tuf model has met "MIL-STD-810H standards" for drop testing which makes me a little more confident in the build quality.

At this price range there are compromises made on every laptop. But, for now I think I'll stick with the Asus Tuf.

Open box was taken before I could check out

Try again. Over on the Best buy Samsung $599 laptop deal, I thought I lost the open box too. But then I went back again and was able to add and check out.

Also got a open box!! Snagged a new one too just in case open box isn't good.

Not going to find a 3050ti cheaper.

Much better than the hp victus @ $475
Why is it better than Victus?
Also, does open-box have the same warranty?
Thanks!

I have the HP victus right now. Im going to return it and get the lenovo. Its OK for gaming but the trackpad and keyboard feel mushy. Mostly the Nvidia 3050ti is a better choice IMO
Open box has 14 days. BB holiday returns go untill Jan 14th 2023 on NEW items.

Not bad but the 250nit screen kills it unfortunately. 300-400nit minimum, especially for a gaming lappy.

The $730 Nitro 5 from Walmart is now $600. Much better laptop for a mere $50 difference.

What's with all these marketing twits calling things 'Black Friday' deals more than a month ahead of Black Friday?!? Just annoying. Bad enough that actual Black Friday has been watered down to the point that most of the deals are nothing more than regular sales.
