First laptop post, gaming laptop… Please go easy… and it’s a pre-order.
Looks like a decent price to me. In the photos, I see two USB-C ports, but no mention of them or of Thunderbolt, so would assume no Thunderbolt. I see two USB 3.0 ports, a full size HDMI port and full size RJ-45. I also see a charging port so would assume no USB-C charging. Weighs 4.1 lbs. and measures 0.9" thin, not too shabby. RAM looks upgradeable with two slots. Webcam = Zoom / Google Meet-ready. Specs mention mini DisplayPort but I don’t see one in the photos. Worth asking if it matters to you.
Here’s an i5-10200H comparison to i7-9750H – https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-9750H-vs-Intel-Core-i5-10200H/m766364vsm1303113 [userbenchmark.com] looks pretty good.
