And you sound like a chronically online manchild. No 'adult' joins a wang-measuring contest and leads with their GPU benchmarks. Log off, get some fresh air, get laid, and return when your rig isn't top priority in life.

To reiterate to the guy asking, a 3060 is perfectly good and will last many years.
So this is a 100% incorrect statement. The average 'gamer' doesn't even know what GPU they have. Further, a 3060 is hilariously overpowered for 90% of modern games (as in max settings at 60+ fps). This is a 1080p laptop, so unless you're using this as a glorified desktop replacement and outputting to a 4k+ monitor, this is an excellent laptop for gaming.

I'm still running a 1060 3gb and outside of the absolute most demanding games, I'm still playing at 30+ fps at 1080p. So please, stop spewing nonsense.

Meh, it's not bad, but $999 new at MC so for a refurbished unit the price is adequate but not "a very good deal" imo...

Very much depends on usage. Standard PC use (web, spreadsheets, multitaksing, photo video editing) then for a used product its a pretty good price. If high end gaming is your thing, look elsewhere as the 3060 mobile rtx is IMO just a little above mediocre

Easy lads, put the rulers away. As the proud owner of a 1060 3 GB myself, it's only VERY recently (Hogwart's Legacy, Sons of the Forest) that I've seen games release which that GPU couldn't handle on standard settings (~30 FPS, 1080p). A 3060 GPU isn't a world beater by any means, but at least this one seems to be close to full power for mobile (130W vs. some I've seen at 90W).

Couple of questions:

Memory configuration? I'm assuming 2 x 8 GB, but couldn't find any information in the listing. I like my chrome tabs, so I'm thinking of upgrading to 32 GB, so if the config was 1 x 16 GB it would save me a little.

Charging via USB? Again, assuming no, but worth asking. The last two laptops I've bought have run into issues with the charging port fairly early on, and the price for getting that repaired is no fun. I am glad to see a 2 year warranty included at least; that being said...

Anyone have any experience with Allstate Warranties? If something happens to this laptop, are we talking a few weeks or a few months for service?

To add some factual information to this.

I have a laptop with a 5800H and a 3050ti.

My main desktop (up until last week) was an i7 7700k with an evga gtx1060 ssc 6gb.

My laptop slightly outperforms my desktop in most games.

On my desktop, I can play just about any game at 1080p and at a high fps with decent quality settings. The only game I've actually had trouble with is Star Citizen... and that's because it's pre-release and not optimized. It mostly relies on a decent CPU which my 7700k just cannot handle.

That said, the 3060 in this laptop is leaps and bounds better than my 3050ti with no MUX switch.

So yes, tl;dr, at 1080p... I think this 3060 packs a punch and will satisfy most people's needs. If you want the best... then why would you even consider a $800 refurb? If you're looking for bang for your buck... this is a fair deal, and I would think that the vast majority of people will not be disappointed.

Yep, these official Ebay Acer refurbs typically do. I had a 15.6" variant of this with a 3060 and when it came it looked brand new and benchmarked well. I ended up returning it for a great deal on an alienware with a 3070 but these Acers are solid. My point still stands though, this is $999 new, so ~$170 off is about what one would expect for a refurb discount, therefore this is a lukewarm deal at best.

So much argument about the gpu being macho enough to nerd it out, but the price is just meh tbh.
