This is about as good as it gets.

Sometimes my local Costco will have a laptop at a complete steal so it's worth taking a look there as well.

Asus viviobook pros (17") were selling for $799 i bought one a month or so ago love it so far but havent tried gaming on it yet. Its got a GT 940 mx and 7th gen i7 i believe.

Edit: Only cons so far are no removable battery (very annoying), no Cd/dvd drive (which is not a big deal), less-than-impressive constructed a/c adapter (only two prong plug), and odd power switch location.

940mx in a 17" for 800 bucks+ Seems like you got screwed. Most likely an U model duo core as well?
The 940mx is a low powered GPU last gen for ultrabooks, can't even compare to something like a gtx 1050 TI Mobile.
Hopefully at least you got a model with an IPS screen?

Gtx 1050 in the same laptop was over $1000. I'm not really a gamer, but bought it for music/video editing in the future.

The screen is really nice idk what ips means lol. It says "4k UHD playback and encoding" and "17.3 full HD wideView display 72% NTSC color gamut"

Looks like the price went up since i bought mine, now $849, i got mine for $799.99 free shipping.

I looked for cheaper options but didnt find anything better for less $ than $799.

Love that Randy, who has less knowledge about computer components than most elderly people, is openly arguing with people who actually know computers. Normally he just tries to discuss sports and shows his lack of intelligence, but I respect him branching out.

Someone said you got screwed and you said you couldn't find anything better for the price. 2 different opinions going back and forth is arguing.
