This is non-sense. It's obvious this was always to real price based on the previous very similar(slightly worse specs even) computer. In what world would it be cheaper when not on sale? Anyways all laptops are too expensive before they are on sale anyway. If you stand against that on principle that's fine but it will exclude you from most every laptop on basically every site.

Likely a mistake from Best Buy or the manufacturer, seeing as how I spotted either 32 or 64GB of RAM (laptop) for less than $100 here before when I was getting a laptop replaced.. too bad I didn't notice it until it was too late.

To the D-bag who said this laptop was always this price; first, yes it has a better CPU(barely), but it also has a 165mhz screen while the other has a 300mhz. This has nothing to do with "inflation cost due to shipping bottlenecks" as well. These factors would've been considered before they produced an ad. 2 months ago it said "coming soon" at the price of $1549; I'm guessing they "price fixed" the laptop because they're testing for the demand and found it could be increased by 100$ in order to maximize their profits. Dell pulled a similar dishonest representation of the G15 SE before it came out in 2020. They marketed it as having 2 usb 3.0 ports on the right side and literally changed it to 2.0 when they started shipping. They also said it would "start at 879" only giving the specs of the highest spec'd version and on launch, the consumer was looking at nearly double for what they represented it as.
