Go to the dell outlet. They have a ton of good deals.

It looks like most of those have a GeForce® GTX 1660 Ti 6GB GDDR6... not sure if that's up to par with the GTX1080. I don't know how to compare.

There are some YouTube videos that show frame rate differences and specs. I dont know the difference either. I picked up a dell G5 15 with a RTX2080, an i7, and 16gb of ram for like $650. They definitely have good deals, you just need to find them. Also, message their customer service team and ask for a discount. They gave like an extra 15%.

That is a dang good deal. I know that most get a Pc because you get a better price on same specs OR better specs for same price. Aside for specs and price, is the number of inputs and video output options a limiting factor on laptops?

I can’t speak to a pc as I bought the laptop. It works great for me and has all of the ports I need.

Thanks

I was just wonder if a launch monitor, keyboard, controller, projector, camera, etc would be an issue. I am sure some have 4/5 inputs but I doubt I would have a 3 camera set up lol. Think GSA and multiple camera example

I bought a Lenovo desktop from ArsenalPC.com about a month ago. Got one for $900 (including shipping) that met or exceeded all of the recommended specs for TGC2019. i7 processor, GTX1060 graphics card, Windows 10, all of it. Give them a look. They have some good deals.

Thx everyone

Okay last question for you guys so I dont make a mistake I found this one on Ebay... does this seem like it has all the components and capability? Dont want to pull the trigger and find out something silly... https://www.ebay.com/itm/193449406733 Thanks again!

Yes it meets the specs. BUT for $870 you could build a brand new one that meets or exceeds this used one.

If you do not want to go the Dell route than an option is Facebook marketplace, locals yutes (MCV reference) sell their gaming PCs for steep discounts. Save on shipping and sales tax.
