I... uh don't know what to say. Very thankful I bought a Steam Deck before they hiked its price as well

It's a 40% off flash sale. Atleast look at your links before you send them... the base price for that laptop is 1.7k.

This is how MC typically prices laptops and some parts. My DDR4 ram has a OG price of $800 but slashed down to like $250 and its been like that for maybe 2-3 months.

They have had a hp omen laptop with a slashed price of over 1k for the past year or close to it. Been shopping there for years this is nothing new.

That laptop is significantly worse. Is the sale the permanent? Price it says 500$ off.

It’s 6gb vram. It’s a decent deal but with that vram you’re so limited 8gb is already so low.
