Looking for a laptop with an 8th gen i7 and 1060 for ~$1000

I found this: https://www.amazon.com/MSI-GP73-Leopard-609-i7-8750H-2666MHz/dp/B07FYKDYPR/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1546138223&sr=8-4&keywords=laptop+with+1060#customerReviews\

I know it doesn't have an SSD (I already own one to put in it) but that price tag looks too good to be true?? Anyone have any thoughts on this laptop and also are there any better/high quality options anyone knows of?

 

That laptop even has a 120hz display!

Thanks in advance!

MSI laptops are (usually) decent. Its chunky and ugly, but you get great performance.

 

The Walmart OP laptop has similar specs, with an SSD, HDD, and 144Hz screen, but probably zero customer support.

Location? Any preference on weight and battery life?

There are other vendors (who sell TongFang barebones) that can provide support

California; no preference on battery life. I am plugged in 80% of the time. Don't really care about weight either
