I recently saw an offer from a msi laptop that felt a little too good for the price. It is a laptop with a gtx 1070 (8gb) and an i7-8750H 16 GB RAM. The price is so 550 euro. The display is full hd and even has 120 hz. It has a total of 1256 GB of storage.
I seriously wonder whether this is simply a dream offer or whether there's a catch…
The link:
https://www.amazon.de/...07CQ1SMQ8/
To everyone who is familiar with gaming laptops, is this real or is there a bottleneck somewhere or something?
A gaming laptop is always such a thing that everyone should be aware of before buying it.
About the seller:
He only has 4 reviews and his side doesn't look serious either. Hands off. He does not want to process the payment via Amazon.
HANDS OFF
that is a very well-known scam the seller will urge for a payment outside of Amazon or to achieve this with tricks just not buy
and always remember that nobody has what to give away, what is too good to be true is also not true
Read my answer and above all the additional comment I wrote yesterday about a similar product (also from Hallo-Hugo)
The offer is currently the usual scam on Amazon. If you look into the seller account, it says "✉ Please do not place orders without asking for approval, without our permission the order will be canceled."
The seller writes this so that he can do business past Amazon. Then the customer transfers the money and there are no goods. Since the business was done past Amazon, there's no protection through the A-z guarantee.
The catch is that when you access the link you (if not yourself) earn money because it is an ad referral link.
The same link could have been posted quite neutrally, without the "sludge" that is attached to the actual link, namely:
https://www.amazon.de/...B07CQ1SMQ8
This is a link where no "Amazon partner" earns money… And, as you can see, it is also not more expensive.
Has 4 reviews, strange that 2 reviews came about on 02/11/17, none in 2018. None from 2019! From 2020 until now none!
So I would not do that… Are over 170 euro cheaper than the next provider…
