For $57 more, it almost seems better to just get new.

Just when I thought it was impossible for a modern laptop with a dedicated GPU to sell for under $500,
the good Doc comes through with another incredible deal!

Thumbs up and repped!

Considering the RTX 3050 is the entry level for gaming it's far far FAR from mid range gaming.

Showing as $529.99 for me.
EDIT: That's for new, if you select open box excellent, it's indeed $472.99

No, it's a dedicated graphics card for medium or regular gaming, appropriate for most people and most games, especially at only 1080p which is the native resolution of the laptop.

At a price of $473, it's an amazing deal. In fact, there is no better deal currently!

Integrated Radeon or Intel would be for low-end gaming, or an older, slower dedicated graphics card.

Via google:
"The RTX 3050 laptop graphics card is a mid-range graphics card from Nvidia."

It may be among the slower mid-range cards, but it's still mid-range. Otherwise, there would be no tier for integrated graphics, which it vastly outperforms.

8 GB RAM can even be added for $15, bringing the total memory to 20GB.
(16 GB system RAM and 4 GB graphics)

That's not low-end anything, especially not for mobile.

Many low-priced laptops have soldered or non-upgradeable RAM. Not the case here!

Can anyone tell me if this is a much better deal than this computer I bought yesterday? Thinking of canceling or returning if so.

Without looking in depth, I can immediately tell you if it's for gaming, you should return yours and get this because yours uses an integrated graphics card that won't handle the majority of popular games.

Depends on what you need - light weight , touch screen, long battery life or a heavy gaming laptop?

I really really want to get this but I do have a couple of questions...

Does this also have an iGPU for switching when not gaming which would help with battery life?

Is 5 lbs a good weight for a gaming laptop? I'm guessing at most the weight would drop by a pound for a much pricier machine, correct?

Does this have a 2nd SSD slot? I would love to just be able to drop in my SSD from my current laptop to add to what this already has

Edited to add one more (probably dumb) question... Is DDR4 RAM not outdated for gaming? I almost never see it on gaming laptops anymore.. I am clueless about RAM tech though so please bear with me if that is a really dumb question lol

One of the lowest prices for a dedicated graphics but for $150 extra when on sale you can get an open box asus with an rx7700s which seems to be a pretty big step up.

Can confirm this is a good deal with expandable RAM. No complaints thus far.

Yeah, that's what's holding me back as well. It's a good price, just know you aren't gonna get one of the best screens out there even if you manage to get 144 frames in games
