Folks are offloading their older models for the new 50 series or perhaps the laptops have hidden defects?
It would only be a steal if it was new.
Given it’s used, I wouldn’t call it a steal.

For comparison, a new MSI Katana with similar specs costs $1200 at B&H. Paying $200 less for a used one doesn’t seem like a great deal. You might want to negotiate down to $800.

Here, the cheapest laptop with a 4070 costs about $2700. Where are you finding one for $1200?

I’ve noticed they are cheaper in the US. B&H has some great prices on the MSI Katana.

In Norway, I got a great deal on a demo model at Komplett. Seems like it was never used.

I’m from Sweden. I corrected my earlier comment, 4070 laptops are actually around $1500-$2000 here.

And watch out for those broken hinges!
This seems too good to be true, I’d be wary.

The 4070 isn’t much of an upgrade over last gen’s 3070ti, and it’s used, so the price isn’t that great.

16GB is pretty standard for gaming laptops nowadays.

It’s frustrating when people delete their comments after being corrected.
Yeah, deleting an account over a few downvotes seems extreme.

I still don’t get what the big deal with Karma is.

It affects how visible your posts are on the site. It’s like a social status thing.
That explains it. Thanks for the info.

Yeah, that makes sense.
Decent 4070 laptops often sell new for under $1200. Paying $1000 for a used one isn’t extraordinary.
