Update (5/3/2018 6:10 ET): The deal on Dell’s G7 gaming laptop, which we initially featured in this article’s headline and introduction, has expired. To avoid confusion, we’ve amended the headline to feature a separate deal on a Dell desktop PC with a six-core Core i7 chip, which is now down to $ 704 from its usual $ 800. The original post can be found below.
Original story: Greetings, Arsians! Courtesy of our friends at TechBargains, we have another round of deals to share. Today, the Dealmaster is kicking things off with a solid discount on Dell’s new G7 gaming laptop, as a configuration with one of Intel’s new six-core mobile chips is now down to $ 950 from its usual $ 1,080.
More specifically, this configuration comes with Intel’s Core i7-8750H chip, a 15.6-inch 1080p display, 8GB of RAM, a 256GB solid-state drive, and Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card. This machine weighs about six pounds, so it’s not the lightest thing around, and it’s mostly composed of not-quite-premium-feeling plastic. Because it’s a newer device, it hasn’t gotten as much feedback around the Web as other laptops, either. But if you’re comfortable taking the plunge with Dell, this looks like a good chunk of power for a laptop that’s now under $ 1,000.
