Anyway, this is a Dell G7 17.3-inch laptop - the full model number is G7790-7152GRY-PUS - that packs an i7-9750H processor, an RTX 2060 graphics card, 16GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD + 1TB HDD storage combination, and an IPS screen, and it can be yours for just $1,149.99.

That's excellent value for a ray-tracing ready gaming laptop - particularly when you consider those other supporting components found within that make it a very attractive build.

And the fact that it's a larger, 17.3-inch machine extends the value even more.

Gaming laptops always come with a premium, so it is a saving game and a waiting game, preparing yourself to pounce on deals like this. And while you always have to be prepared to spend more than four figures, in all likelihood, to get something at least medium-high on the quality and performance spectrum, deals like this represent genuine bang-for-buck value. So, all the more reason to remind you that this is only for today and the deals ends at 11.59pm CT.

Yeah, the screen's refresh rate is only 60Hz which isn't ideal for faster games and twitchy shooters but it'll still serve you well, and the trade-off is getting the IPS panel which gives you better image quality and colors all over; an IPS panel is often reserved for those screen only considered the best gaming monitors too, so you know it'll look gorgeous.
