Thx for the advice, I just found this(https://m.newegg.com/products/N82E16834155036) on newegg and wanted to know if its worth it. I also saw thatbecause the rtx graphics cards are coming out I should wait a little bit.

The links I posted have better specs, 8th Gen CPUs vs 7th Gen CPUs for the same price. It's a no brainer!

 

Prices aren't going to get lower than this, the RTX laptops are already out.

Another thing to note is I rarely see people buying laptops from Amazon or Newegg without issues. Those are just sold in masses to the public whilst getting it from a reputed reseller like HIDevolution ensures you get a laptop that has been hand built by one of their technicians and properly stress tested so you get a laptop that works 100% out of the box rather than getting some mass produced laptop, waiting for it, discovering an issue here and there, then refunding it and waiting more. Time is money.
