Newegg has a deal on a ridiculously overpowered Gigabyte Aorus 17 for $1929, nearly $600 off its normal listing price. Amazon has the same deal. The laptop hasn't sold at list for a little while, but was $2,100 for most of January, and went for $2,500 as recently as December. This is the second time it's sold at this price, which is the lowest it's hit. It's also a beast of a gaming laptop that can easily outperform most other gaming laptops and even some desktops.
The Aorus 17 sports a 17-inch 1080p display with a fast refresh rate of 360Hz. A 1440p display would be nice, but the high refresh rate is good for action and competitive games—like Valorant, Fortnite, and Call of Duty: Warzone—and at 1080p you'll be able to make good use of it.
The only downside is that the 1TB SDD isn't an NVMe SSD, but considering everything you get, it's a minor gripe. If you need more storage for work, consider picking up an external SSD that's small enough to fit in a pocket.
As much as I usually like Aorus gaming laptops, the chassis itself lacks the flair of other premium laptops like the Razer Blade 17 [[link]] or Alienware X17. On the other hand, there [[link]] are gamers who prefer that their laptops don't scream, "I play videogames on this."
