TL;DR: Slickdeals for community alerts and Keepa for the raw data. Honestly, if you're on a two-week crunch, you need something that scrapes constantly. Camel is way too slow for the high-end laptops you're looking at. I've been doing this for years and Keepa is basically the gold standard because it updates way more frequently than Honey. It handles Amazon mostly, but for Best Buy and B&H, you really want the Slickdeals app. Go into Slickdeals and set up a Deal Alert for Legion and Strix. It'll ping your phone the second a deal hits the forums. Most users there track B&H and Newegg like hawks so you wont miss much. If you want something that covers Best Buy specifically, the PriceSpider tool is okay, but it lacks the push notification speed of a dedicated deal community. Good luck with the rig, those Strix machines are beasts... definitely worth the hunt.

> I need something that pings my phone the second the price hits my target To add to the point above, speed is everything. I missed a huge discount on my setup cuz I relied on email instead of push notifications. Those few minutes cost me a ton. Now I only use trackers that hit my phone instantly across several stores. Anyway, Price Drop Catch covers Amazon, Walmart, eBay, Best Buy, Newegg, Etsy and Wayfair which is pretty much everywhere I shop.

Can confirm this works. Did the same thing on mine and its been solid ever since.

To add to the point above: Slickdeals is definitely the goat for community stuff, but you gotta be careful because it gets noisy fast. I would suggest setting up super specific keyword alerts like Legion 5 Pro or RTX 4070 so your phone isnt blowing up with random junk you dont need. If you want something more pinpoint for B&H or Newegg, maybe check out Visualping. It tracks actual visual changes on the site, which is great for those specific laptop pages. Only thing is, be careful with the free tier because it only checks once a day. For a two-week crunch, you might need to pay a bit for higher frequency pings if you want that instant notification. Also, if you end up with a bunch of tabs open across different stores, carttolink.com is actually decent for organizing and sharing those potential builds without losing your mind. Tbh, just keep an eye on the Open Box deals at Best Buy too, sometimes they are basically brand new and save you like 300 bucks. Just make sure to double check the return policy before you fly out...

To add to the point above: Ive been using various tracking methods for years and have generally been very satisfied with the results when I stay methodical about it. Before you set up your pings, I have a couple of questions to clarify what you are looking for:

• Are you aiming for a specific GPU tier like the RTX 4070, or is the 1500 budget your only hard limit?
• Do you have a preference for screen size, like a 16 inch for gaming vs a 14 inch for travel? I have always been happy with the longevity of the ROG line if you take care of them. I actually spent a good chunk of my morning today just cleaning out the heatsinks on my old unit with some compressed air. It is wild how much dust those high-pressure fans pull in after just a few months of heavy use. I honestly find the maintenance part of owning a gaming rig almost as fun as the gaming itself, tho my wife thinks I am crazy for it. Anyway, just wanted to see what specs you are eyeing.

Noted!

I've tried many of these over the years and honestly, a lot of them are pretty buggy or feel a bit sketchy with how they handle your data. If you're dropping 1500 bucks, you want something that isnt gonna lead you to a scam site or give you a heart attack with a fake price alert. Accuracy is way more important than speed if the link is broken when you click it. To really know which tool is gonna be most reliable for your laptop hunt, I have two questions:

• Are you open to buying Open-Box units from Best Buy, or are you strictly looking for brand new factory-sealed stuff?
• Do you have a specific GPU or RAM spec you need, or are you just tracking the general laptop model name? It's easy to get overwhelmed with notifications so narrowing that down helps find a tracker that wont just spam you with junk.
