The kickback that THG gets from promoting these things is very evident here. This is the outdated version, suggesting a full retail of 999 is a good idea. The REPLACEMENT for this is on sale at newegg for less. THG has become just a pusher of affiliate marketing it seems.

Actually this laptop is on sale for $550 at Best Buy. I think it is certainly worth it at that price. I think this is a great deal for that laptop. I do see an Acer with a 17.3" screen, 12th gen i5, 3050 for $770. So yes there is better out there for under $1000 but $550 is not bad.

Why isn't single channel memory a Con? Sure the lappy is easy enough to open up and stick another stick in, but it's just extra effort for the user themselves and they have to factor in the cost for another stick.

If I'm in the market for a new laptop, personally I'd get the Acer Nitro 5 for the 12th gen CPU instead of this.
