My 500 AMD powered (supposedly upgradable) Was on sale for 1300 on Amazon when I bought it. As I am looking to get a monitor (inspired by your videos on Samsung's new offerings) I wanted to know how well it pushed frame rates for 2k and 4k screens. And WOW it is now 2,499.00$! Thats for a 2year old model of laptop...I was lucky also to get my wife one of Walmart's amazingly competent 15" 144hz i7 1660ti half 512gb ssd 16gb of ram l for just under a thousand and now it is 99$ more! So yes the laptop market it indeed nuts right now.
