$680 was the best price, but $730 still seems like a really good deal? Cannot find another gaming laptop with a 4060 anywhere near this price
Agreed, though the 5050 will likely be comparable on raw performance and in this price range. Still seems like a great deal, only concern is screen brightness which I have seen reported some places at 250 nits which is crazy low to me.

The issue is we don't know if it will launch with 6GB vram or 8, especially since Nvidia is so greedy with vram. Even on 1080p medium new games need at least 6GB.
Same outdated 512gb storage, old CPU, average screen
All for $750 when laptops like this were running 500-600 after 2 years on market. The hardware probably cost them $200 or less in today's market.

Looks like 8gb vram. Some models are popping up at micro center.

That's good to hear... The issue is the 5060 is also 8GB VRAM so it still makes this a good deal. As for the other comment I disagree. 3060 laptops were not 500-600 ever...
Bought this for 730 then it dropped to 680. Emailed Staples customer support and they refunded me the 50$ difference even though I was a few days beyond the price match window. Super happy with their support.
The laptop is great. My kid is using it for school, browsing, Minecraft including the RTX maps. It's handled everything super well. The initial setup took FOUR hours to get Windows, Armory, BIOS, etc updated but after that I've had no issues at all.
This was $680 a couple weeks ago, and some accounts had a 10% back in Staples rewards points offer on all computers, which made it a screaming good deal.
