Could be a cheap rental. I had a 64GB and 2TB one from Lenovo for 5 months use before I sold it for $100 total cost to me as prices went up. Should have kept it longer but people don't like 2nd hand laptops, easier to have issues unless it's a Mac

Not the cheapest 5090 laptop out there - but a) this time Microcenter ships and b) CPU is the HX Plus part, with faster ring bus than on older Arrow Lake-HX SKUs like the 275HX.

290hx runs too hot for a 16" laptop. Also micro center needs to build a location closer to Vegas!
