I intend to purchase this laptop and have some questions:
1) How can I find out if it supports Gsync?
2) Is it possible to connect a second GPU using a Thunderbolt port and use two video cards simultaneously?
3) Is the price reasonable?
4) Are there more durable alternatives in this price range?

Hy there,
To address your queries:
1. The laptop panel lacks native G-sync support. You can connect it to a monitor using Freesync (which is often more affordable) or use a G-sync certified monitor to enable g-sync. With a Freesync model, you must connect via DP cable or HDMI 2.1, and the monitor will automatically enter Gsync mode when powered on.
2. It appears to function according to the laptop's specifications. There might be limited bandwidth in certain situations, but it seems feasible.
3. It’s well documented and appears to be a refurbished unit. That should make the price reasonable. Still, the GPU version isn’t specified—whether it’s 90w or 14w isn’t clear. The latter offers better performance.
4. In terms of specifications, you wouldn’t expect the same in a brand-new laptop. It would likely be less efficient, I think.
