Cyber Monday 2020 deals: the place to go for the all the best Cyber Monday bargains.
Sure, the RTX 2060 has been overshadowed of recent, but it's still a decent GPU, and paired with a 10th gen Intel core i5, it should see you right with many top games today. Just don't push it too hard doing lots of tasks at once, because the meagre 8GB RAM may not hold up.
So, although its only a standard 1080p screen with this one, the G-Sync capability and 144Hz refresh rate mean you may not get to see texture detail in crazy intensity, but you'll be zipping through those frames, smooth as butter. I would recommend keeping the graphics down to a medium-high if you're going to turn RTX on, though. Otherwise it might have a little choke.

While this isn't exactly a luxury machine, it'll manage to usher you into the world of ray tracing for under $900. The core i5, RTX 2060 pairing will have your games chugging along happily at 60+ FPS, on mid-high graphics settings. It may struggle a little with simultaneous tasks—especially considering the minimal 8GB RAM it's packing. Just don't push it too hard, and you'll be fine.View Deal
A little on the heavy side, this is probably better suited to gamers with a strong back, but if you manage to carry it to work (once the world re-opens again) you won't get called out for bringing a gaming laptop in—it's a little on the corporate side, design-wise.
