If you've been paying attention to the graphics card market lately, you'll know how difficult and expensive it is to buy any Nvidia RTX-enabled card. Even the base model RTX 2060, the lowest-end GPU you can get for ray tracing, is sometimes sold out and pricey, hovering around the $350 range.

This configuration also sports a 15.6-inch, 144 Hz screen, 16GB of RAM,  an Intel Core i5 CPU, and dual storage: a 256GB SSD and 1TB hard drive.
