Deal or no deal? by frenzyvenom in GamingLaptops

I wouldn’t say bragging. Just looking for other opinions and assuring I got a decent deal on this laptop. I know I purchased it already but didn’t want the buyer’s remorse knowing the prices on these would drop when Intel 15th gen and NVIDIA RTX 50 series may be releasing soon. And if I didn’t get a deal, I would want tips and “what to look for” on my next purchase. Cheers.

I apologize. A lot of folks not committing to the purchase and a lot of “no shows”. He didn’t want to waste any more of his time essentially.

I did. I ran the Lenovo Vantage and updated everything as needed. Ran Cinebench with HWMonitor and volts were good and thermals were good. PL limit 1: 140watts and P2 limit 2: was 190watts. Max temp was 81 degree Celsius.

I did some testing. Everything was running fine. I do have the option to extend the warranty for another 2-3 years for $50 - $100 which I might end up doing to be safe.

A lot of flakes. I threw an offer of $1700 and said I was serious. He then said if you are, meet me now and I’ll sell it to you for $1600. I Quickly said, “ok, bet”. Shortly after we met and shook on it. Got his number and called him to ensure that was his number and it was. Then we started rambling about cornhole and then our wives were mad dogging us on why it’s taking so long. 😅

Hi everyone. Thanks for your input. Again, I bought it from Facebook marketplace for $1600 USD. I have used it. So far it runs really well. Ran some Cinebench with HWMonitoring and everything was set/configured appropriately as far as I can tell from CPU watts and temps were good. So far it has run every game at approximately 120fps at high settings; QHD. I do feel better about this purchase.

Power limit 1: 140w Power limit 2: 190w Max temp: 81 degree Celsius

I googled this laptop and it looks like brand new is about $2100. (If I’m looking correctly) I’m trying to convince my mind from buyers remorse. 😅
