HP OMEN - 16.1" 165Hz Full HD Gaming Laptop - Intel Core i7 - 16GB DDR5 Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 - 1TB SSD - Shadow Black
Model:16-wd0073dx/9R640UA#ABA
SKU:6571057

it was a display model
they cleaned it up nice
no fingerprints, no dust
I am very happy with it

I have never bought a new laptop
always used, returned or a display model

the one before this was years ago and was a Lenovo Y530 with a 1050ti graphic card and 16 gb of ram
got it for $725 at bestbuy
regular price : $999

I was standing by the cash register waiting to ask the clerk a question
then a woman came up and said she wanted to return a laptop she bought a few hours earlier for her son
her son didn't like it -- he wanted an ASUS Republic of Gamers laptop -- so she returned the Lenovo and I immediately grabbed it

took it home, installed Visual Studio with C and C++, MS SQL Server, Python, Excel, Path of Exile, Diablo 3
great laptop
stupid spoiled kid

if I was going to buy one today I'd get

$800
this is a great price and its brand new
the SSD is small, but its cheap enough to throw in another one or even a hard drive
