(Microcenter In-Store) Gaming laptop with RTX 3050Ti, 17.3" FHD IPS 120Hz, i7-11800H, 16GB RAM, 1 TB SSD, Gateway $499.99

My local Microcenter has this item open box for $425. Does not contain original box, but has full manufacturer remaining warranty.
Normally I'd be concerned that it's Gateway, but reviews are very good at 4.8 out of 5 stars, from 191 total reviews.

Highly recommend getting the 1 Year Extension Protection Plan for $60.
Open box available for $366, so even with the warranty it's still much cheaper.
The i7 has vastly superior specs for $500: RTX 3050Ti, 17.3" FHD IPS 120Hz, i7-11800H, 16GB RAM, 1 TB SSD.
Open box available for $100 less. Maybe that and the warranty is the way to go for SweetP, but he did say "starter gaming laptop."
Looking forward to you posting some comparable deals, Luigi...

Wonder how much of a difference 6 GB makes over 4 GB in the RTX 3050.
Someone in the know needs to post some benchmarks.
