So obviously we just had this exact laptop for sale from Walmart Direct for $950, and if you have a time machine great, if you don't though I think at $1050 this is still basically the gaming laptop deal to beat at the 5060 level of the market. Incredible screen, good performance, great build quality, lightweigh (for a gaming laptop 4.3~lbs). And unlike the I7 for $1200 that has been promoted a good bit, this gets 6-7 hours of battery on web browsing, the I7 gets under 2. I know because I bought the I7 when it first came out. Loved everything, but the battery life was basically unusuable.
Other things to note, yes there is a second open SSD slot, and yes a second open DRAM slot, so you can add a 16 GB stick to go to 32 (and improve performance some) or replace both and go way way higher.
Sold by Antonline on Walmart FULFILLED BY WALMART which means it has the Walmart returns through end of January and returns to any store, so you can buy this and slow roll for a better deal.
Also the 3 year allstate warranty with drop and accident protection is $88, $98 for 4 years. Specs ripped from the $949 post.

There is still nothing at this price point on or off sale that competes with this laptop. And the main reason this is a good pick is Walmart fulfilled and free returns through January 31st. BF and CM are over a month away, there is no reason if you want a laptop today to pass on a laptop at $100 more that beats everything else within a hundred plus dollars over it.
Like I would agree if this was a Best Buy purchase with a 14 day return policy, but you have 100~ days to return this.
As a comparison point, this deal went front page at $50 less today. This deal is trash compared to this Legion on every metric except touch screen which likely doesn't matter to almost anyone and a .9 inch screen size increase (which may). You may feel the below is a bad deal, I certainly do given the config and lack of expandable ram, but that isn't stopping people from buying it it would seem.

Although it's in stock at all stores, I know not everyone has accessibility to it. But this MC deal and the expired $949 deal makes this here a definite no deal.
