No. It just proves predatory sellers list things on Amazon hoping people buy them. The replacements of that laptop with 7300HQ processors and GTX 1060 graphics were cleared out for $600-700 when they became obsolete earlier this year. A predatory seller trying to unload something on an unsuspecting buyer isn't useful in assessing the value of much of anything.
Here's another option:

$49 more than Walmart but has a 1050 Ti. Also a good buy. I'm a bit of a screen snob. The Pavillion is likewise available with a good 144hz panel, but it's only in the higher spec laptops. The base display is about what you get with anyone else, meh. Pavillions have thermal issues, not horrible but another advantage to the Walmart. Probably get an extra hour of battery life than the Walmart. Dell G3 would get another hour or so on top of that.
Tougher choice there. Being a screen snob, I'd lean towards the slower Walmart PC but $50 for a 1050 Ti is likewise compelling. Again, at the price it's a steal. At the full price of around $900, no. Same deal with Walmart. It's a steal because of the $600 price tag. For the original price of $1,000 there's better options out there.
