Review of this laptop:
https://www.notebookcheck.net/Gig...170.0.html

TLDR:
On stress test, temps are on the redline (98c on the cpu and 88c on the gpu) and fans are loud, but did not throttle
Performance is very smooth, as expected from the specs because it didn't throttle
Screen is a bit dim (295 nits) but not bad for this price range (92% srgb unlike other cheap laptop with 45% ntsc / 55-65% srgb)
Battery is surprisingly not bad (414 minutes / 7 hours) and hot swappable so you can double the battery if you buy a spare one
Build quality feels cheap but thats expected from the price

Basically, this is one of the best price / performance laptop deals out there, if you can live with it's deficiencies.
Pretty sure there is one on the back.

1 x DisplayPort 1.4 (Type-C) over USB 3.2 Gen 2

Great deal on a budget gaming laptop. Better than the Acer Nitro 5 selling at Walmart for $699 currently. Laptop comes with 16 GB RAM already installed (Acer only has 8) and this version of the mobile RTX 3060 GPU has a 130 Watt power limit giving better gaming performance. Caveat: it will get loud under heavy gaming (as will any gaming laptop).

$100 cheaper than amazon, does look like a great deal. Other brands all want quite a bit over $1000 for similar specs.

Somehow seems odd to me to see laptops with modern GPU but still have a USB 2.0 port. At least it has 3.2 as well.

Also, the lack of USB-C ports is odd.

Seems like they're really cutting corners anywhere they can.

Oh. Sorry, didn't see that. Thanks

Does that mean no PD and only for display and USB?

I have a thunderbolt dock and didn't want to have to plug in power to the laptop as well when docked.

Blah.. I bought that one at Walmart. It was actually $599, not $699. But I am wondering if the 16 GB RAM (vs. 8 GB RAM) and 130W 3060 (vs. 95W 3060) is worth returning and getting this one instead.

No gaming laptop today can use power delivery as it's only source for power, as the old usb standard only supports up to 100 watt, while gaming laptops mostly require more than that. 240 watt usb c standard is announced last year, so maybe next year we'll see new gaming laptops with only usb c charging (it takes years for new standards to materialize in actual product, like ddr5 ram)

The RAM is easily upgradable for ~$20-25 right now, so it really depends on if you are willing to pay an extra $100 for an improved display and a more powerful gpu.
