[Gaming laptop] Acer VN7-592G : I7-6700HQ, GTX 960M 4GB, 8GB DDR4, 1080p IPS display,

[stateofmind]

No coupon needed at Newegg / probably others too

The Acer VN7-592G is now selling for $850:
- I7-6700HQ Skylake
- 1x8GB DDR4 RAM
- 1080p IPS display (LG LP156WF6-SPB1)
- 5.07lbs/2.3kg
- GTX 960M 4GB

Throttling is minor an almost non existent in gaming, noise isn't great under load, the display is good but not necessarily great, chassis doesn't get too hit, Thunderbolt 3 USB Type-C w/ USB 3.1 gen2, M.2 PCIe slot, keyboard is good, speakers are above average

$850 is pretty good for this laptop, because it doesn't suck too much compared to the others. The Dell 7559 is good too, for a lower price, but keyboard isn't as good, no TB3, display isn't is good in terms of color (but maybe contrast is higher), but thermals and battery running times are better

Reviews: 1, 2

That's a good deal for someone on a budget, as long as they are well aware of the compromises required to achieve such a price.

The CPU alone is $378 US directly from Intel.

8GB DDR4 is about $40

Screen + chassis/keyboard + battery = at least $150
Windows 10 = $100
Let's say the 960M = $100
Laptop PSU = $30-40

Almost $800 in parts*** + warranty cost. Not a bad deal at all.

*** Ya, I realize I could be way off but just an estimate.

The price of this is really affordable. We can buy this without any second thought.
