This should NOT be this cheap, also should I get it or are there flaws in it?

Just seems like a decent deal to me. Looking in the EU and the normal price here is around 1275 euro since January, which includes 21% sales tax in my case.
These Acer Nitro laptops sport high end specs, but the general quality of the laptop tends to be very mediocre. Especially those kinds of hinges are awful and tend to break after a few years.
It’s sold and shipped by a new third party seller.
it was 799.99 on sale last week almost bought it kinda pissed I didn’t Sold and Shipped by Amazon too
$1000 is over priced best buy has a 4070 model that goes on sale often $1000.
3070ti is old

i think the yellow interesting color too showcase for the rgb. i dont think i ever seen a yellow rbg gaming setup as of yet.
I wouldn’t say it’s cheap because for starters it’s running hardware that isn’t current gen for pricing that has been available multiple times in the last few months for the current gen model that has a 4070.
It’s also an Acer laptop from their entry level gaming lineup, so the circuitry quality is quite bad. Ask me how I know? I’ve had to perform board repairs on hundreds of Nitro’s over the years and usually it’s for main power rail MOSFETs burning up, fried buck converters, PCHs dying, or PWM controllers going bad. I implore you to always keep Nitro laptops (any electronics really) plugged into a high quality surge protector if you’re not running it off the battery as they have virtually no protections in place on the boards themselves. Their Predator line PCBs are much more robust.
I don’t think it’s that bad. I bought the 2021 G15 Asus with 16gb and a 3070ti for $1399 in mid-2022… this setup is years old now.
Last gen parts
I have a similar laptop but mine has 32gig ram and 2TBssd I got on sale for 1115 USD plays helldivers 2 max settings 60-70FPS
It’s a Ryzen
hah no cpu
because it’s either 1) a scam or 2) still a scam, that uses low quality parts and doesn’t come with half the parts listed. basically it’s just a scam
That’s not what I would call cheap lol
Think I paid $800 for that same model in 2018.
Well, it has a 1660 super, but essentially the same model.
The price looks pretty standard for a low end gaming laptop.
It’s overpriced if anything.
