The spec seems pretty good for a gaming laptop without breaking the bank.

It's also a gaming laptop for 550. Not too long ago the same money got you a GTX 1650. This dwarfs a 1650 by a long shot

I'm with you. The upgradeability of 64GB RAM and dedicated GPU is worth me reconsidering the $699 Asus OLED. With its average screen and no Thunderbolt... it needs to be a little cheaper for me to pull the trigger.

It's $527 OpenBox-Excellent, which isn't bad? But yeah I think thunderbolt would really sweeten the deal, even at that price point.

Just an FYI:

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

https://slickdeals.net/f/17024701-microcenter-in-store-gaming-laptop-with-rtx-3050ti-17-3-fhd-ips-120hz-i7-11800h-16gb-ram-1-tb-ssd-gateway-499-99?v=1

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.

Wanting to get my son a starter gaming laptop. Can't decide between this one for the one from Microcenter.

Highly recommend getting the 1 Year Extension Protection Plan for $60.

This is very bottom tier in every other way. Build quality. Screen quality and who knows the speakers or cooler because it's a gateway. Adding in a warranty puts it close to the msi and it's worse than the msi

It's also a gaming laptop for $430, $120 less than your own quote. Cool HUGE difference!
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...
