I just bought a Dell XPS prebuilt, since that's the only reliable way to get something with a discrete GPU right now. i5-10400, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, 1660 Super. $600 + tax, already on its way.

Then I saw, this guy for $699 + tax after coupon code: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Acer-Nitro-5-15-6-Intel-Core-i5-9300H-2-4GHz-16GB-Ram-1TB-HDD-256GB-SSD-W10H/265020201929

Am I wrong in thinking that, for games, this laptop will be about as fast as the desktop is? I don't really value the portability of it but I wouldn't kick a 144Hz monitor out of bed.

Thanks for the tip about the Acer too Lockback

If you're willing to go refurb, this seems like a good deal w/ 2 year warranty: $749 with PREZDAY20 coupon code. i7-10750H, 16GB, 2060
