Helping someone out.  Wouldn't mind feedback or thoughts on this, good or bad please.

 

I am out of the loop on what's good or not. I just expect computers to work nowadays.    For ~$2K this seems a reasonable price for the specs when comparing to the Acer and Dell gaming laptop equivalents. 

 

Intel options seem to add another $400 - $500.  Is that Intel tax or legitimately better?

*for gaming* an equivalent Intel is likely to perform a bit better, but I imagine you are looking at something with the i7-9750H? That does have an extra 2 cores and higher boost clock so will be dearer.

The main bottleneck for gaming would be the GPU rather than the CPU in most cases with notebooks of this sort of spec.

The 3750H is a good CPU. I would say that laptop is good value for 2K.

That's a good review of the Intel variant.
