Thank you OP.

I bought the New Dell G3-3590 posted on RFD but had to return it because of defect. Eventually had to ask the bank to dispute over refund; so, I'm considering getting this one. Using the G3 as a baseline comparison, there is only a minor difference between this 8th gen i5 and the 9th gen one in the G3. The 9th gen one is slightly faster and can support more memory, I believe. The G3 had the GTX 1650 which has less memory than the 1060 6gb. I couldn't find a good GPU comparison of the mobile GPU's on userbenchmark. This RAM is one 8gb stick compared to the G3's 2x4 gb stick. That means I'll have to add another stick to have dual channel memory, but 16gb, which is good.

I like how I could see both the integrated and NVIDIA graphics in task manager on the G3 and also that it had a SD card reader. I don't think this has a card reader, only USB. I think these laptops should have at least two kinds of media readers since they no longer have DVD's. I didn't like the matte, dim 60hz screen on the G3. I see people complaining about the audio and wifi card on this lenovo... so, potentially, I would have to change the wifi card and use headphones?

Have you ever seen this laptop in person? If so, how does it look? I was considering the ROG strix one posted here, good thing I went into best buy to check it out first, cause it is one hot ass mess. The only good thing on that one was the 120hz screen. Honestly, I think these companies have the hardware differences so as to thwart price matching across brands. I wanna see what others have to say.

GTX 1660ti is almost as fast as mobile rtx 2060, only few % behind, minus ray tracing. If you are into ray tracing, you can add rtx 2060 to build for $120.

When configuring I have removed regular HDD and just left SSD, so total cost was $1188 after the intelgamerdays coupon..
