Good price, great laptop, my friends purchased two of them on my recommendation and love them, but keep holding, lets see if we can get it back to the $680 or at least $700 price.

Same, but im hoping to pick up a like new open box for around $550 when the price drops to $680 and roll the dice.

It will be my mobile gaming laptop, for the few trips a year I take. I got a $200 GC from the pixel pro 9 pre order burning a hole in my pocket.

specs look good but it's double the weight of my current laptop at 5 lbs, so maybe not a great travel laptop.

They do have some open box ones at my BB $567 fair, $590 good, $613 xlnt. The "good" one at under 600 makes it tempting. But I swore I wouldn't buy another chonker gamer laptop.... I promised myself.... must..... resist......

edit - 512gb nvme? That's a party foul. Need to have at least a TB with todays games

also edit - the 7700s looks to compare to the mobile GF 4050 which is... ok. It's a 1200p screen so that should be fine

edit edit edit - barrel plug power? No USB-C PD? BOOOOOOOOO that might be a deal breaker. Having USB-C powered laptops has been great, really cuts down on the amount of cords and adapters I have to haul around

It's more like the 4060. The 7600s is around the 4050 and in some titles gets a little ahead of it.

Just to enforce what someone else said, this is gaming beast on a budget. The only real review I could find on it previously gaming wise put it better than a 4060, depending on game optimization some games playied way better. Since then most reviews people claim them to be neck and neck.

Yes if you dont plan on gaming or utilizing the discreet graphics this is definitely not for you. 5lbs is nothing, my current work laptop is around 3lbs elitebook g9 and I can barely tell a difference.

Yeah I would have loved to see USB-C PD also, but for the $680 price tag or the under $6, I wont be too picky.

I don't think these are fair claims. No gaming laptop is a travel laptop, unless you go with those 14" options like the Zephyrus G14/TUF A14/Omen 14. They charge a premium for portability. Even then it depends on you, I'd consider under 5lbs definitely portable and this has a slim frame compared to older models.

This one isn't "chonker" relatively speaking. 4.8lbs is fairly standard and the only real "chonkers" are Dell/Alienwares at over 6lbs for the laptop and 3lbs for the charger. Acer has a few heavier models but this is actually closer to the opposite end.

Most budget laptops come with 512GB and it's pretty easy to upgrade with a second slot, not a concern.

7700s is closer to a 4060/4070. The 7600s is closer to a 4050/4060. Barrel plug power is standard on all gaming laptops because USB-C hasn't reached 240W+ until recently. It has PD so you can take a light charger.

I just bought this for 615$ and I plan on adding another SSD with some better DDR5 ram, as well as a new Wi-Fi card, from what I've been reading the Mediatek Wi-Fi card that it comes with isn't great, although it's not by any means a deal breaker, those mini PCIe cards are very cheap. I have a laptop w/4060, that I bought a year ago, legion slim 5, and I really like it! I'm hoping this is even better! And I'm gonna give this newer laptop to my wife. The legion only has a Ryzen 5 as well, so this thing should theoretically have some pretty good pickup!

I still have to go pick it up at Best buy

If you're ok with open box, I would recommend you keep looking on BestBuy website. Many times open box prices are very well discounted. I had purchased two gaming laptops couple of years ago for my kids that were open box. I did a fresh install of windows on them just to be sure but both are working very well, and I saved nearly 25% (was on sale when I purchased the open box)

In fact the open box for this laptop shows at $628 for Good and $650 for Excellent condition (in Southern California store).

I ordered an open box for 599 after I got that $5 coupon, pre tax and fair condition. BB is taking forever to prep the order, which is not a great sign...might be a display model. Whatever, I can always return and with a two year added cc extended warranty risks are low. Hope they don't still snake deals at BB, that used to be a thing.

Anywho, my research indicated for open box instead of refurb, it shows up as a new purchase so cc will honor the extension. Take that with a grain of salt -- just what I read on reddit, etc. At this price point I doubt you will see something significantly lower for something that pushes out pixels at the 4060 to 4070 range (laptop cards). Memory looks like an easy upgrade when needed.

Also, keep in mind this is a gaming laptop so weight will always be greater than a lot of the productivity laptops. You want something light? Look into something cool like the Lenovo carbons made out of carbon fiber like airplanes. You want something that can operate like a tablet? Buy a convertible, surface pro, or a tablet. You want something uber portable to game on with a tiny screen so integrated graphics are whatever? Steam deck or another portable. But if you want a gaming laptop, you tend to trade weight and $$$$ for the powa to push dem pixels.

It supports USB-C PD up to 100watts.

Best feature of this laptop is the battery life: 12-20 hours, provided you're not gaming and keep the display brightness between low and medium.
