The Ryzen 9 5900HS CPU and GeForce RTX 3060 GPU is a combination you're not going to find on 99 percent of other 14-inch laptops out there. The competing Razer Blade 14 costs several hundred dollars more with the same CPU and GPU options.

That's actually a great deal. Congrats to whoever buys it.
The only thing I would want on this laptop is a 16:10 or 3:2 screen of the same width. If it had that, this would be a great bargain.
Thanks, got it as soon as I saw the article. Definitely a great price. My only fear is that the 2022 version might lunch in less than 6 months. Oh well..

I'm confident that the reason they are discounting this laptop heavily is because they want to clear stock ahead of new model launches in 2022. Why else would they clear stock through deep discounts at this time?
I don't think the 2022 model is right around the corner. No new gpu or cpus have been announced, then there is an overall shortage of processors across the world, and most likely the 2022 model would start at 1600 USD. If you think about it is not as a bad deal getting this year version with a great discount.
