"Although $1,299 isn't what I'd call a budget system."
I'm glad you pointed that out but it is even worse when it is only a 1050. I consider $1300 range at least a 1060 6GB. I don't even see G-sync display offered. You can get Dell 15in with a 1050 under $900 easy. No, there is nothing budget about this considering the components. A nice design and RGB keyboard don't make up the difference.
I'm looking at an Acer Predator on Newegg right now that is 15in, 7th gen i7 7700, 1070 8Gb, 16ram, 256 solid state/1Tb mechanical for a little over $1400. You are not even in the ballpark, Gigabyte.
Thirteen hundred dollars and a GTX 1050? GTFO Gigabyte, everyone else has GTX 1060 6GB or better at that price point... try ditching some of the useless "features" like RGB keyboard so you can get to a price point that will actually allow you to sell some units.
It's almost like the companies selling overpriced hardware believe that screaming something is "budget" loudly enough will cause potential buyers to ignore the absurd price and feel like they're getting a good deal.
I'm interested in this laptop. I cannot call it budget, especially if you are looking for a computer for a student. For this money, you can find a laptop with better parameters or with similar ones but at a cheaper price. But reliability is also important, I studied the information https://uk.edubirdie.com/lab-report-writing and came to the conclusion that there are practically no problems with this GIGABYTE model, and as a student I just need a powerful and reliable laptop .
