!!! UPDATE !!!

 

Acer Nitro 5 15in Gaming Laptop on sale for $600 CAD ($450 USD)

 

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07CWGZGFL

 

If we weren't strapped for cash, I would buy it to replace my wife's old Sandybridge laptop!! Actually, I might personally buy this to replace my wife's laptop! It's hard to beat that price, even if it's old hardware seeing as she sometimes play RTS game on her old i5-2310m iGPU laptop!!!

Yeah, sadly when tech is on sale here, it's usually close to US retail prices ;

It's been something Canadians have complained for a while, there's even stuff that's made here that is cheaper to buy in the US

UPDATE!

 

It's now $600 CAD, probably to get rig of old stock, and they probably are trying to ride the BF sales going on.
