In Canadian dollars. GTX 1070, 32GB RAM. $2100.

Oh it's backordered. But it's available to order while backordered.

Alternatively, what's the ETA for a refresh of core components of laptops (graphics primarily I suppose)? I can get about $1,000 for my Macbook at the moment, so an extra $1,000 to get a more functional laptop works.

with 2000$ i would pretend a 120hz display and just ditch the high res, looks like an unbalanced laptop to me, and yes hp has low tier build quality

Just went on sale for $2,300 from Newegg.

Still unsure if worth buying into a laptop right now. Battery also might be shit. Hinges idk possibly.

Shameless self reply.

Hmmm, battery life actually isn't bad, and hinge issues were with 2016 model (2017 was refreshed).

If stock isn't out, I'll consider. Heading out for dinner. Thoughts welcome.

Decided I'll watch the price of this laptop until it comes down closer to $2,100 or lower. Better construction, 144Hz, thinner bezels, better internal cooling... but pricey.
