Its been awhile and I need advice..

Looking for a new bike. Last bike I bought was a bmx (about 15 years ago).
Looking to do about 50/50 offroad/onroad. Looking to spend between 500-800
USD. Things sure have changed..

Any pointers on the mountain bikes that offer the best bang for the buck
(quality and qty)?

I've seen worse for more money. At that price range, the spec isn't bad.
I've got no clue about the frame itself, but I've seen a similar component
group on bikes costing hundreds more.
