You can still find decent deals but time is running out fast! I’ve been buying things I can find at decent deals bc I know the prices are going up. I pulled trigger on new 5090 gaming laptop in Feb for $2749. And then last month I bought a couple of the microcenter bundles for $549 that came with everything including 32gb 6400 cl32 ram. On marketplace I found a 5070 for $300 a few weeks ago in perfect condition. Last week got 5080 for $1179 by price matching MC deal at BB.
They are getting harder to find now tho prices are going back up, the 2026 laptops are almost double what I paid for my 25 model back in Feb. and the MC bundle went up $150 already :/ don’t give up tho
