Amazon today has some daily deals on gaming laptops, but nothing that provides much encouragement for you to get everything you want at the price you're looking for.
@Snarknado Thanks! I plan on calling HP tomorrow to sort this out. Depending on what level of "chemo brain" I have tomorrow,I will either try to get tech to update my screen refresh rate to 144Mz,and if I can't do that,will send it back for one that does have the screen I ordered.
Providing of course HP can track down that chat conversation and verify that is what I ordered. For some reason I didn't get an email copy of that after the deal was made.
