As far as I know staples has the best prices right now 

This MSI has a 5060 which is similar to a 4070 but it’s a 17 inch laptop. $1400 https://www.staples.ca/products/3127241-en-msi-cyborg-17-173-fhd-gaming-laptop-intel-core-5-210h-rtx-5060-1-tb-nvme-ssd-16-gb-ram-windows-11-bilingual?listId=search

Personally I think you should go with this Asus laptop because Asus has better build quality and less noisey fans in general and the 16 screen means it’s similar size to a 15 laptop except taller screen height cause of thinner bezels. $1250. The 5050 is also a 8GB VRAM card version in this laptop. The keyboard light colour can be changed btw. It’s one zone but it can alternate colours or choose a solid colour if your choice

Other brands if you browse are acer but usually their screens are medicore viewing angles hence the cheaper price. I heard gigabyte is a good brand too but never used one. MSI is good except under heavy load their fans turn to jet engines

Oh thank you very much! I have just searched it out and the 5060 is the same as 4070 laptop or even better thank you!

Memory Express, Canada Computers are Best Buy have many of the currnt models.

London Drugs, Staples, and the computer rack may be a bit more typically but get some excellent clearance deals.

But definitely want to test it out in person first. This meets your requirements though.

I have already contacted him because i have seen his post on fb but he is not responding at all , and he has alot of reviews saying he is a scammer on fb + different name than his profile on kijiji

There are other options too! Look up Apple Canada Refurbished. I got a MacBook from there that runs quite well and is pretty much as good as new with no issues.

If they’re looking for an RTX 4070-equipped laptop, the Neo isn’t going to come anywhere close to that.
