My son is using his Xmas money plus money from his part time job to buy this. Do you think it's a decent deal, or are there better options out there? It's pretty much right on the limit of his budget.

You're not going to find anything better than that at that price.

Just remember to immediately remove McAfee from the laptop.

Same laptop (I think) is $1,686.60 if you buy it at The Market (hoping you're a Marketclub+ member) and use code themarket10.

Pays to check price spy or geekzone price comparison first, but the Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD at PB Tech appears to be a genuine bargain, probably the lowest price I've seen in an nz store. Tempted to get one for my NUC.

It's better to be GPU bound then cpu bound. The i5 isn't terrible and you'll see most of the performance from the 3060 but also intel 10th gen on laptops were terrible for thermals and also on power.

Thanks for that assessment. I did find this one https://www.computerlounge.co.nz/shop/laptops/gaming-laptops/gigabyte-laptops/gigabyte-g5-i5-10500h-16gb-512gb-rtx-3060-gaming-laptop#specs which has an RTX3060 but downgrades to an i5 processor. Looks pretty good. Ahhh decisions!!

Becareful. Remember RTX 30xx laptop gpus come in different power configs from 60w to 115w, which shops don't show. I think this damn well misleading. At 60w power configed 3060 will be clearly slower than 3060 configed at 115w.

What this means is that a 115 W RTX 3060 Mobile can potentially outperform an 80 W RTX 3080 Mobile depending on the given workload. The lack of explicit power details in the laptop specs can potentially complicate matters for the end user, who would generally assume that mention of an RTX 3080 Mobile automatically implies higher performance than a RTX 3060.
