No, those are over $500

Laptop prices seem to have jumped as of late.

Prices on all comp parts are jumping, as well.

Awesome thanks. Do you have the motile or just saying that's what you'd go for given your 2 options?

Only played with it, I don't personally own one. Feels premium compared to any laptop in the same +/-$300 price range.

iirc it only comes with sata ssd but can upgrade to nvme, single channel ram too? It's still much better than anything I can find in the same price range.
