Only if there is a microcenter near by or the product ships from microcenter.

How does this compare to the excellent open box from Best Buy at 1812? Seems like that one is oled plus 2 tb

Noob question here, why wouldn't someone buy this instead of a similarly spec'd desktop? As in would this give you all the same power the desktop does but add in portability and would you still get the same image quality connecting a cable to a high end monitor like the GX9? TIA

I have this laptop from back in July when they did the same sale price. It's a quality laptop with the only two complaints I have are the up and down arrow keys being smaller. Moreover, the boot up time is 10 seconds when my Legion Lenovo that I sold off from 2021 was half of that. When I asked HP about it, apparently they are looking into a fast boot option for the firmware in the future.

You said it yourself, portability. I like being able to take my laptop with me on the go when I travel or simply when I move it from my office to the living room.

A desktop 5080 and a laptop 5080 are not equivalent. Because of its higher power limit and superior cooling, the desktop 5080 will give you 55% higher frame-rates than the laptop 5080.

I'm curious if anyone actually got that deal. I added it to cart at 9pm and thought about it too long then at 12 the deal was gone. People had been having trouble placing their order as well.

The lack of a glass trackpad is the only reason I haven't bought this or the 14"

I cannot stand the way it feels and drives me nuts

I actually got the deal. It is the first time a local store actually had one in stock from all the refurb deals from Best Buy. It said only 1 left, so I was skeptical. But it gave me the option of delivery, so I ordered it. I woke up in the middle of the night to check the Brewers score, and I got a cancel email. I saw the local store still had it in stock so I ordered it. I was expecting another cancel email the next day, but I actually got a ready to pick up email. Happy with it. It seemed like a good deal.
