Dude, I think it's a terrible deal, to be honest. Are you in the US? I can't speak for prices abroad, but Amazon has the various Asus ROG Strix models at that very same price range only with a really nice laptop gaming GPU. The 1650 is a really budget card, and if I was in the market for one, I wouldn't pay any more than $1,000.00 USD for it, and even then...
I actually purchased [this one] Sunday, but decided to cancel the order because I managed to at least temporarily resurrect my old gaming laptop, and I want to wait and see if I can run it into the ground and hopefully score something at a deep discount on Black Friday. This is the exact model I ordered and cancelled. Actually a second reason I cancelled it is because Amazon has it listed at $1,799.99, but the main page seller (probably Amazon itself) shows it temporarily out of stock. I actually had purchased it at $2,050.00 from that same page, alternate seller, before cancelling it. I kind of felt a little icky paying $250.00 USD more, plus tax, of course, lol, just because I needed it fast. Or thought I did. Notice the specs on the link I gave you? You get a 3070 instead of the very weak 3050. You also get 17.3 inch screen, which is an IPS 300 Hz instead of 140 Hz. It also comes with a nice 1 TB SSD and a Ryzen 9 not a 7.
My suggestion is wait a few weeks if you can, because it looks like the $1,799.99 price will be back on Amazon in a few weeks. If you need one now, you can get a much better laptop than you listed at a lower price. But more important than the price is that for somewhere around the price you listed above, you get a far superior machine. Even if you buy it right now from an alternate seller. Looks like you can snag it for $1,950.00 but I am not sure if that seller is close enough to you geographically to have to charge sales tax. Remember at that price range, NO SALES TAX can save you around $200.00 even if the sticker price is a little higher.
If you step down to the 3060, which is still way better than the 3050, you can save a few bucks more, but honestly, not that much. It really seems to me that if you want a 2021 model (talking Asus here, not other brands) that you don't really save a lot going from the 3070 to the 3060. So the 3070, at least for Asus on Amazon gives you the most bang for your buck.
Okay so another question about this: I think I am going to stick with a lappy with a 3070 GPU. Seems like the extra $300.00 to $400.00 for the jump up from the 3060 will be worth it in the long run. My question is, I read about sales on these machines in another thread. A few such sales seem to have passed by already, I think early in July. But I was wondering if anyone knows if any sales are coming in the next 2-3 weeks or so? I won't wait until Black Friday, as that is over 3 months away.
If not, I will have to bite the bullet and buy sooner. I am leaning toward a model like this one:
But this is just one I am looking at. It prices out at $1,799.00, which is actually quite reasonable for a 3070 based unit. But here are some concerns: It is a Ryzen CPU. Do I really care? I always have had Intel, but if Ryzen is good, that's fine. I also think I will look for the same or similar model, but with 32GB RAM instead of the 16GB in this one. Also, I would probably want to upgrade the 512GB SSD to a 1 TB unit, and later on I can always put in a mass storage drive later on. I assume that the price for the bigger SSD and more RAM will add about $300 or $400.00 to the price, which is fine.
Edit: Actually, I misread the Amazon page. The lappy I linked to above has the 1TB SSD. That is starting to look like a great price, actually.
