It's US$729 here plus $3 shipping. For an i7 with a 512 GB SSD, 8 GB RAM, and GeForce 940MX, it's got pretty good bang for the buck.
I'm not sure how much of a mark up there is if you can find it over there.
I'm sure there are cheaper versions. But then, you'll be delving into HP, Toshiba, Acer, and Dell territory.
Apart from Apple, I made it a point to consider ASUS and Lenovo only for mainstream laptops. In the case of my wife, she goes for the top with her Sager. She's had nothing but Sager laptops since 2002.
