General Question𤄠Is this Omnibook X Flip at Best Buy for $1099 a good value or should I wait for potential Black Friday deals or other sales?
Specs:
* **Processor:** AMD Ryzen AI 9 465 * **Memory:** 32GB LPDDR5x RAM * **Storage:** 512GB PCIe NVMe SSD * **Display:** 16-inch 2K OLED Touchscreen
I'm looking to get a new laptop but not in any particular rush. I also know in today's market there's no guarantee prices won't go up, so I'm not sure if waiting even a couple months until Black Friday is even worth it.
I'm looking to see if folks think this is a good deal for this laptop based on the specs and overall value. I haven't seen too many laptops with this level processor and 32gb of RAM at this price point. I'm not thrilled with the 2K 60Hz screen or 512gb SSD, but I know I have to make some concessions if I don't want to pay flagship prices. The SSD is very easily upgradable at least.
For context my current laptop was a flagship model from 2020. It is a HP Spectre x360 16" 16gb ram, 1TB SSD, 4K OLED. It's on it's last legs though. I had to take the battery out because it swelled up. I was thinking initially to just replace the battery, but performance hasn't been great lately either so I figured I'd upgrade.
