Not sure if this is a good deal. I want to use it mainly for work. I don't game often. I also look at lenovo x1 extreme with similar specs but x1 extreme costs more.

15.6" Full HD Display
8th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-8750H (2.2-3.9GHz, 9MB Cache)

  This seems like terrible value for a 1060. What am I missing? Form factor?

    ASUS, ROG, Zephyrus.

    Pick one, I had the initial 1080 model, impressive tech, but you pay for it….

  i'm not a computer pro - i myself am waiting for a good laptop deal

  For a 1060 it is a bit pricey considering it doesn't have thunder bolt either you might be a bit reluctant.

  If you are interested in dell (20% off with PRIZER) [some people don't like dell's quality]

  it has a Max Q (but supposedly it benchmarks almost the same as 1060)

  256 Gb SSD and 16 gb Ram, same Processor

  The dell also has thunderbolt too for $1,699 with the code.

    1060 kills this deal.. Expect 1070 at a minimum for this price.

  Quite exy for 1060, got my boy an Asus FX503 few months ago with 1060 too from hardly normal for $1300 only, although its running i5 which only being slow for games installation, but most games can running on high without issue. Except if you can stand the noisy fan …

  Picked up a helios 500 with a 1070 for 2500 from domayne. Bit of negotiation needed but the helios 500 is a beast. Highly recommend

  Depending on what your work is, I'd highly recommend against this. To be fair, I'd generally recommend against spending this much on a laptop.

  This is decent, but this really needs to price drop a bit further like its MSI counterpart has been. The whole Max-Q line-up needs to hit a better price point in subsequent generations.

    The MSI GS65 Stealth is nice. But it's a bit hard to upgrade by yourself. Zephyrus is easier to upgrade. Gigabyte Aero 15X is also nice, but not a lot of retailers here sell it.
