Have been in the market for a reasonably high performance <$1300 laptop a while now, for media and work.
This one has an Intel 6 core i7 CPU, NVIDIA GTX 1650-Ti GPU, 16GB dual channel RAM, 256GB SSD and a 1TB HDD.
Reviews say the display and battery are its weaker points, but for the money, still a great deal. Picked one up. Fast shipping too. Ordered on Sunday, expecting it to arrive on Thursday (Sydney) despite the public holiday.

Would've traded that for 1660ti
