Purchased one of these a couple weeks ago at the same price for BF/Cyber Monday and I'm very happy with it so far. Great looking screen, snappy performance, feels solidly built, good battery life so far and not a ton of bloatware. I would recommend it for a non dedicated gaming all around solid performer.

Absolutely not.
This is only the 4th or 5th time that it's going for this price, I reckon, 2-3 of those times were in this holiday season and the other times was months ago, not "every other week".

They put it at this price coz it sells so much. Everytime this deal has at this price has made it to FP, over here. Also, the fact that it's going for this price often is a foreshadowing that it might get even $50 cheaper than this by Christmas.

Very few ultra books have GPU. Not everyone needs or wants want. .
Either way, you won't find a better laptop at this price. This has set the bar for new pricing. Laptops have crashed in price through 2023, finally.

Based on pricing history, it's only gone on sale for $699 three times since August, not every other week. Why exactly are you making such a big deal out of it?
Also the August deal lasted for a whole day and WITHIN that day they jacked it to $749. Earlier sales were either open box, or $100 - $200 more, or had a lesser cpu.

Is PWM sensitivity an issue with this display? I see it's an OLED. I try to watch out for that to avoid migraines. Seems like a sweet deal.

I just purchased an Open Box Excellent condition one from Best Buy. Paid $680 total. Getting it early next week and will see how it goes.

I've had my MSI laptop for 7 years. It was time to replace it. I'm looking forward to checking out the OLED and testing it's other features. I'm a little concerned about battery life but I only need to use this for day to day tasks, watching videos and the Internet.

512GB SDD sucks but that's the trade off for the price. Luckily SDDs are not that expensive anymore and I could always upgrade if need be.

Lol ok found it. Didn't last long did it? 5 days maybe. Then the mid August sale for 1/2 a day before the price was jacked up.

Your quote: 'On sale for $700 since July.' Not quite, look it up.

Yeah, the funny part is, this is a 2023 model laptop that came out in April/May and only went on sale for $700 in Best Buy five times during it's lifespan.

Yet we have people here pretending like it's on sale every other week and that there are any comparable specs in this price range.

Yes Costco had a similar deal but it was for a slower CPU with less cores, lower resolution and smaller screen ratio, slower 60Hz refresh rate and lower brightness non-touch screen. In fact, people who got that deal found out that it wasn't even an OLED screen and was a crappy VA panel! LMAO

Lol I'm just doing the opposite of what you're doing.

You wanna make it sound like it's not on sale often and I wanna to make it sound like it is.

Lol I'll do it again. Daamn.. it was on sale for the WHOLE half of August for 700.

I guess the deal is also based on the CB%, Credit Card Offer, Promo code, and other offers. $699 in the past might not be better than the $699 deal now. Despite its on sale every month or not, it's a great deal for non gaming folks who love OLED screen.

I bought this laptop last month w 5% CB from PayPal Chase Freedom offer, with 8% CB Raccoon Tin. Other than the below average Battery life, non full size arrow keys, Its a great dealm

Not correct but even so is helluva lot different than 'On sale for $700 since July.' You forgot uninterrupted offers for the FULL months of August, Sept, Oct, Nov. Nice cherry picking though pal.

Lol you said it yourself, "half a day". So 50% of August of that day Smilie

"3 times in 40 days." Why not specify how many days total it was on sale instead you just say 3 times? Because you're cherry picking just as bad lol.

Then goes on to say, "$999 between sales!".. Lol which is BS too Mr. Cherry Picker. It's been between 999 and 700.

Lol um ok? I mean, I get the reference but kinda weird.

Anyways, this is an OK deal. But yea, $700 in July.. It's due to get cheaper soon
