Best Buy be wild with these sales lately, holy shit! Did anyone actually happen to grab one at this price? I can’t believe how cheap it was.
My friend is looking for a good gaming laptop >=$500. She wants to be able to play Ark and Palworld, so she needs at least a 2060 or a 3050ti. Lmk if anyone knows where I can find something at this price point.

get an xbox at that point dude
Edit: She also wants to use the thing for art. So she needs a Windows PC that can handle Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and other creation tools.
bro thats just crazy… if you‘re looking for a gaming laptop >=500$ look for a used one, you can probably get something with an rtx 3060 or 2070… good luck!
Holy shit. Id have bought that in a heartbeat to replace my old laptop. Helluva deal.
What the, that’s hella good
I have this same laptop and it runs everything I throw at it!
it is a steal indeed.
Is it real?
Looks like I need to check out their site more regularly. Shit, that’s a steal
it’s sold out, it’s not odd for products no longer selling to get randomly marked down to basically nothing, this doesn’t mean it was sold at that price
Been looking every single day, mad I didn’t see that
Honestly its just not possible to play ark anymore. game requires 25 quantum computers to play singleplayer even without mods.
Nope. I have that exact model saved and it never dropped below $700 for me 🙁
I wouldnt be surprised if a scalper purchased 20x of them and is now reselling them given what we have seen with the GPU market in 2020.
Just a little update incase my original post was confusing some of you guys. She wants a Windows laptop in particular. She wants to bring it with her when she travels around so it needs to be a laptop. When it comes to everything else: it doesn’t have to have the best color display, but obviously the better color Accuracy the better, and I appreciate those who were pointing out that this screen wasn’t all that great, but for now, whatever will have to do. Its really the GPU and CPU that matter because she wants to game on it AND do art, music and possibly some video stuff. I personally have an Asus ROG Strix G513IE with a 3050ti and a Ryzen 7 4800h, and it does all of those things fine, so I know what specs to go for, but I’m really just looking for a good price or a good place to get a solid open box or refurbished one. She needs it to be Windows, not Mac because she wants to game on it and a lot of games are still not supported on Mac, or she would probably consider one since you can get them pretty cheap refurbished.
My Walmart had this deal too , i went to 4 stores in my area and they were all sold out lol
Damn you local gamers!
Idk but a 1080 should be more than enough to run palworld and arc
Edit: oh didnt realize that she needs it for art aswell
Obviously it’s a scam man 🤣
Wtf are they out of their mind? Can’t even get a decent Chinese phone at that price
No but I got an open box one at microcenter for $380.
$200 though, geez.
Would anyone price match this?
Edit: I don’t even see it anywhere else, nevermind
Please. Where’s the young black boy saying “Happy for you.” ?
Hell, I don’t even need a laptop and would have still bought it. In Germany this would literally be 1200€ not 200$
You’ll only find these ones on super clearance still in stock open box. Over the past 3 weeks I’ve gotten an open box samsung galaxy book 2 360 for $180 and a Lenovo Yoga 7i for $120 both had i7-1255u and 16gb of ram. I check around 10pm pst and every couple days super cheap laptops will pop up for in store pickup open box, but once the store opens the order gets cancelled because the inventory was off and they don’t actually have it. Out of 12 orders only those 2 went ready for pickup. I picked one up from a best buy about an hour away and the other from one an hour and half away.
Seriously, both gf and I have better spec desktops, and I a laptop… this being more like the spec of her Lenovo Thinkpad gaming (we having generally differing gaming and work requirements)
But even so I might not have been able to pass this one by. Wouldn’t have been half bad as spare, streamer, junker whatever. Hell it would have made a better buy than the more expensive no GPU Thinkpad I got my mum for Christmas (cos she’d otherwise just buy some gens old refurb that’d diminish hard for not much less tbh)
Of course, I’d be in the UK where such deals… don’t. And no fancy Microcenters either.
I got a similar one for like 300
No one got it for that price. Once they’ve sold out they place a very low price on it for no apparent reason.
