It's still incredibly difficult to find (OR build) a screen background gaming PC thanks to the current GPU shortages, but gaming laptops are still easy at received prices. Genus Acer has today discounted one of its RTX 2060 laptops to scarcely $899.99, making it single of the cheapest laptops with that graphics poster that we've seen in recent months.

The Acer Nitro 5 model on sale has an Intel Core i5-9400H quad-core group processor, a 15.6-in 1080p screen with a 144Hz refresh rate, 16GB RAM, a 512GB NVMe SSD for storage, and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 graphics card. There's no mention of the lower-power Max-Q graphics card spec on the product page or Acer's own specs sheet, so in theory this is an RTX 2060 running at full index.

There have been some cheaper laptops with the RTX 2060 graphics batting order over the past few months, like an $800 Gateway model, but this one from Acer has a few other features going for IT. There's a full 16GB of memory, while most laptops in this price kitchen range (annoyingly) only wealthy person 8GB. The 512GB SSD and high refresh pace screen are also great to have.

The important catch here is that the Core i5 processor in this laptop computer is an older chip, piece many different play laptops now ship with newer 10th-gen Intel processors. However, you're non losing out on much performance with the slightly-aged CPU, particularly given the plentiful amount of RAM and hot graphics card.
