Take Windows off for another -$60 off
Making it $812
Thanks OP
For those who bought the HP Pavillion deal and are comparing.

My thoughts are this. I've watched this website awhile and very rarely do I see a deal that I feel won't be beat. Whether it's a TV deal, computer deal etc... The deals just come in cycles. I think deals like this will be much the same.

On comparing the two. I got my Pavillion for 583 post tax. It was a 1050 2gb I5 cpu. 17inch Screen with a DVD drive (which I wanted).

This will have an I7 and a 1050TI 4GB for roughly 742 dollars post tax with no Windows - 60 for free mouse and Amex card, so let's say $682 post tax. Basically 100 dollar difference since I got the 17inch and a $120 difference if you got the 15inch. Lastly, $180 difference if you want windows. I'll use the 15inch since it's more of a direct comparison.

At $120 price increase, if you don't mind Linux or can get windows for free, you're getting 10% improvement with the I7 cpu, and from what I've read about a 30% improvement with the 1050TI 4gb. I can see that being worth it.

At 180 dollars, (you get windows from them). Not worth, in my opinion. I'd probably wait for a 1060 deal or stick with the Pavillion.

What I will do. I personally will save my money and just keep my current laptop for 583 (I don't want to look for a copy of windows, and I don't want to deal with an amex card, since I have no idea how they work). Also, from what I read the Pavillion will have good build quality and will do what I want. Play current gen games, and hopefully last me 3-4 years. It's like adding ram when I don't need ram, the computer I have does what I want it to do. I'm not going to spend 120 dollars to make it do more. What do they call that in Magic The Gathering, more win. I don't need more win.

Is this a good comp? I can't find any reviews. Stats wise it looks awesome but not sure of build, screen, and cooling quality.

Bought a laptop from them and had no issues, though ship time took ~3 weeks.

Got it. Thanks.


Thinking of using this as an everyday/work computer vs a gaming computer. Any thoughts? good idea/bad idea.

I use lots of programs at once and need quick boot times.

That depends on if portability and battery life are of importance to you. This laptop definitely will be fast for the vast majority of programs out there, but may not have the highest quality screen, best build quality, etc. (I've never seen one in person, but it is based on a MSI chassis I believe).

With the amex card and taking windows off this seem superslick

I got in on the CyberPowrPC Vector deal over MLK weekend. I really love the computer. I would say this deal is pretty on par. This computer has the better processor (7700HQ vs. 6700HQ) but not as nice a video card (4GB 1050ti vs. 6GB 1060).

I would configure this computer with the 16GB RAM, 128GB Intel NVMe M.2 drive, 1TB 7200 RPM HDD and you come out to $909. I think that setup is worth the extra $37. You are getting a way faster boot drive and a ton more storage for your $37. Remember to grab the free gift card and mouse and pad. You can always remove the OS and save $60 to get down to $849 with this setup. I love that CyberPowerPC lets you easily pull off the OS and save that money.

Nice find OP!

That 4,400mAh battery, though... without a review mentioning how long that lasts, I can't say I'm interested.

I have an acer e 15 with something in the 3000s. It's awful on W10. With power saver mode on and battery save on W10 I'm lucky to get just to the 2 hour mark.

That being said this would be more of a gaming laptop so I'd like decent life but not expecting anything amazing.

On paper this looks like a killer deal .


BTW OP your link is to the 8gb version just FYI

I can tell you that my Vector (which looks a lot like this) is a great computer. The build is great, the screen is great, the cooling I guess is OK. The reason I say OK is it gets pretty hot right above the keyboard when gaming. But mine has an i7-6700HQ processor, 2 hard drives, 16 GBs of RAM and a 6GB GTX 1060. That fact that they can stuff all that crap in a laptop is already amazing to me. That fact that it doesn't burst into flames as soon as you turn it on is just a bonus to me. The fans definitely ramp up when gaming and there is some solid heat but I have not noticed it trying to pull the clocking back so I can only assume it is cooling just fine.
