    One feedback on an account that isn't even a year old. Pass.

    I can't confirm anything about this seller of course, but I actually bought a laptop from them about 6 months ago and it was exactly as advertised. I just check in to see if they post anything new every once in a while, and I know they're at least somewhat reputable.

    Not touching that with a mile long pole. Not even any real pictures of the laptop, 1 seller feedback

    That's a starting bid, not a price. Not to mention that even at that price https://www.gentechpc.com/product-p/sager-np8378f2-s.htm
    That will play games better due to having a 2070 Super. I have the laptop linked from GenTech, it consistently outperforms desktops with 2070's. The 3950X is a great CPU, but it's also both thermally and TDP-limited when in a laptop.

    It certainly isn't a value for money 'gaming laptop'; it shines most as a multicore beast e.g. programming/content creation.

    The listing has changed multiple times over time.

    Also every laptop thermally and TDP limits their CPU, nothing new.
