Is this a normal sale price or a true clearance price?

Usually RTX 4060 laptops on a good sale can run for $800, but Intel is usually higher, so I'd say it's overall good deal. Especially considering that it has DDR5 memory and 1TB SSD.

You can get Dell gaming laptops with 4060 and better specs for a couple of bucks more, that go on sale every now and then. You can also get refurb Acer laptops with 4060 for similar price.
I don't know how this is a good deal.
It would be something to consider had it at least come with a better display, Ryzen 8 processor or the Intel Core Ultra, or even a better 13th Gen processor.

I tried one of these in store and the screen is faded and looks like crap. The whole laptop feels like plastic garbage. The chicklet keyboard feels like crap and the touchpad has noticeable lag.

I like this brand's internal components, like motherboards and video cards, but their laptops seem to be hot garbage.

The good Dr. posted a deal recently on a $799 Acer via eBay:
https://slickdeals.net/f/17716128-acer-nitro-17-cert-refurb-17-3-qhd-165hz-ryzen-7-7840hs-rtx-4060-16gb-ddr5-1tb-ssd-799-99?src=SDSearchv3


It's got an excellent AMD CPU, a very nice bright QHD screen, and a 4060 with 140W (although anything over about 115W goes unused in laptops).
The only issues I can see with the Acer deal instead is that it is larger (17.3") and heavy at 6.6lbs.

It looks like you can get a 16" Acer with the same components for $799 as well using the same coupon (LABORDAYOFF) for 20% off of $999.

Both of these deals from eBay are Certified Refurbished with a 30 day return window and a 2 year fix or replace warranty from AllState.

The 16" model does not have a QHD display though, it has an FHD+ display.

Picked one up in Coral Springs, FL.

Rang up and tagged as $1,199. Manager price matched to $799.

There was 1 left that I saw, an open box that was stickered $959 in the clearance cage.

I understand. But it's not fair to compare brand new vs. refurbished or open box. The difference in price is at least 15%.
Best.
