That's a terrible deal. There are several other options on the market today that offer identical hardware specs AND a dedicated graphics card for about the same price. Even a 1050 or 1660 would be better than having just the integrated graphics on the CPU.

Different strokes for different folks. You’ll be hard pressed to find an 8th Gen i7 chipset with 16 GB RAM at the same price point (w/ discount), let alone sporting an ultra book form factor. Sure you’re short a GPU, but in more cases than not it’s likely not a deal breaker for customers looking at this specific model. If you’re truly in need, the TB3 slot would allow for an eGPU through an external monitor.

Sure there are laptops that might include a low-mid range GPU or next gen CPU at a similar price point, but they likely compromise elsewhere on the overall build and/or form factor of the machine.

If you’re looking for a premium build with a decent processor, this deal is a steal.
