Adorama on eBay has a powerful gaming laptop on sale for $860. No Tax for many SDers.

It has a GTX 1060, which is significantly more powerful than other ones I’ve seen at this price.
The downsides… no SSD and only 8gb of ram. But still a great deal at this price IMO. I would buy it if I also had 10% ebay bucks, but that ended for me a few days ago.
