Deal | Gigabyte Aorus 5 with 10th gen Core i7, 144 Hz display, GeForce RTX 2060, 16 GB DDR4 RAM, and 512 GB NVMe SSD down to $1050 after rebates

The $1000 USD price range seems to be a sweet spot for many users looking for a brand new Ultrabook or gaming laptop. Our latest deal today is the 15.6-inch Gigabyte Aorus 5 KB gaming laptop retailing for $1150 before factoring in the $100 rebate card from Newegg.

The deal is notable for its Core i7-10750H CPU, GeForce RTX 2060 GPU, 16 GB of DDR4 RAM, and 144 Hz FHD display with full sRGB coverage which are key specifications for any upper mid-range gaming laptop. Other gaming laptops for $1000 USD would typically come with the slower Core i5 CPU, GTX 1660 Ti GPU, 60 Hz display, or just half of the RAM or storage capacity instead. Opting for this Aorus 5 configuration will mean you won't have to make any major sacrifices in these key areas.

Drawbacks are mostly superficial. Users will not be getting a flashy or super-thin chassis a la the MSI GS series or Asus Zephyrus series. There is no per-key RGB lighting or Thunderbolt 3 connectivity, either. Assuming you can live with these disadvantages, then the Aorus 5 will offer strong gaming performance and an impressively accurate display especially at this price.
