    wow, does seem a good deal this one

    Need a work laptop to run 3 4K screens smoothly and run a bunch of processor intensive apps, will this do the job?

    Thank you in advance 🙏

      run 3 4K screens smoothly

      Monitor Support
      Supports up to 3 independent displays (native display and 2 external monitors via HDMI, USB-C)
      • HDMI supports up to 4096x2160@60Hz
      • USB-C supports up to 5120x3200@60Hz

      run a bunch of processor intensive apps

      Ryzen 7 7840HS is top tier at this price point

      When plugged into AC power, only 3% single-thread / 9% multi-thread slower than a desktop 8700G due to the lower power limit

      You need a laptop with a Thunderbolt 4 port if you are planning on connecting all via a single cable/docking station.

        Not true, you need a dock with DP alt mode, there are a couple of options.
        Very few AMD laptop with TB4 port, I’m not sure if TB4 and USB4 are same.

        It is more about the GPU inside and how many displays being wired through ports.

        Have a look at a Thunderbolt 4 add in card, you need to connect DisplayPorts from a graphics card to the Thunderbolt 4 add in card in order to get displays from the Thunderbolt 4 ports.

        https://www.asus.com/motherboards-components/motherboards/ac…

        A lot of Windows laptops can capable of 3 external displays (from Intel 11th gen onwards, the iGPU can support up to 4 displays).

        M3 Pro Macbook Pros, you only get at most 2 external displays, despite having 3 Thunderbolt 4 ports and 1 HDMI.

    How do you go upgrading to 32gb?

  • chrismheath on 13/04/2024 - 08:38

    I think the 45%NTSC breaks this deal - I guess great if you're going to be plugged in with external monitors a lot. The 60WH battery won't be great either for the processor + dedicated GPU if you ever use it on battery

    • superroach on 13/04/2024 - 08:41

      At 60WH, the cpu and gpu alone would mean under 15 minutes battery life, especially with the screen on too.

      • AndrewMTG on 13/04/2024 - 11:15

        really ?… i doubt it will die in 15 min… it would last a decent amount no?…

        my ryzen 3750h gtx 1650 POS asus tuf laptop would die quicker than this i am sure..

      • chrismheath on 13/04/2024 - 16:27

        Most laptop CPUs (except the super top end) have wattage limits well below desktops (my Intel i5 desktop can reach like 220W, my AMD 7735HS laptop is somewhere between 15-35W). And that's also at full blast, which doesn't tend to happen often. If you're doing web browsing then it may be 10-20% usage spikes for a couple seconds every new page, but not big battery drainers. The screen at full brightness I think is something that drains batteries pretty fast, every test that says they can do X for Y hours, I'm guessing they always run it at low brightness (which isn't real world feasible).

        If you ran benchmark tests or a AAA game on battery, then yes it'd probably only last 15-30 minutes.

      Just what I was looking for. I understand a lot of people don't care, however I won't buy laptop full stop if it has screen that's not accurate. I want to be able to use it for several things and can't afford a gaming laptop that can only game.

  • Top G on 13/04/2024 - 09:14

    1660ti laptop still stronger than this GPU

    I guess there’s no need to update my 4 year old laptop

    Cheap build. This won’t last long if you’re a heavy user and actually carry it around. The frame is plastic.

    Great for productivity.

    Average for gaming.

  • JoeBogan on 13/04/2024 - 11:22

    60 Whr is quite bad for these specs, battery life would be average at best

  • organisedchaos on 13/04/2024 - 13:42

    I currently have a Dell Inspiron i7-1260p with 16gb ram, it runs okay when connected to one screen (via HDMI) however when I add on an another screen (usb-c) I notice it really starts to slow down. Is this just in my head or would the additional screen cause it to slow down? I am almost always connected to external power.

    Do you think this laptop would be a step up from my current configuration or should I be looking for something else?

    I only use it for work/productivity but end up dealing with very large excel sheets with images etc and lots of open browser tabs - google sheets etc.

    • boxall on 13/04/2024 - 18:06

      Your current pc should easily be able to handle that. At work I have a 9 year old i5 pc driving two screens. 8GB RAM.

  • BartholemewH on 13/04/2024 - 19:49

    Weren't 3050 laptops less than this year's ago?

    • kaikor on 13/04/2024 - 21:02

      Yeah maybe the 4GB version, they prob thinking 6GB version should jack up prices to rip ppl off more

      • BartholemewH on 13/04/2024 - 21:08

        Thought 4050 would be the norm by now, I should keep up.

        • Jimbuscus on 13/04/2024 - 22:47

          It's 3050/4050 now, like 1650/3050 for budget and ultra-budget.

  • Wadeal on 14/04/2024 - 03:08

    Is it worth buying the 3 year additional warranty?

    • mrkorrupt on 14/04/2024 - 04:12

      You tell us? What does the additional 3 year warranty offer that the Australian Consumer Law and Guarantee doesn't?

      • BigPeeper on 14/04/2024 - 08:08

        accidental damage

        • BadGiraffe on 14/04/2024 - 22:39

          I think the warranty only covers manufacturing faults. I paid for extra warranty for mine (different Lenovo) so that I could get it repaired if anything went wrong.

  • LuvzABargain on 14/04/2024 - 10:13

    Thanks OP. Bought one. I'll upgrade to 32Gb and 2 x 2Tb

  • retroranger on 14/04/2024 - 12:07

    How does this one compare? https://www.centrecom.com.au/asus-tuf-gaming-f15-156-fhd-144…

    I know the processor is a little less, but what’s the consensus on Lenovo LOQ v Asus TUF?

    • Ramsses2100 on 14/04/2024 - 18:18

      Both are good, some what equal machines.

      HOWEVER, at $1100 I would never get a laptop with anything less than Nvidia RTX 4050 graphics card, it's capable to perform better (equal to RTX 3060) all while consuming less power, which means less heat and longer battery life; Also the RTX 4050 have Nvidia frame generation technology which would help runing a lot of demanding games and makes the laptop future proof.
      For $1100 you can get an Acer Nitro 5 with intel 12 Gen processor and the RTX 4050 (generally I don't advice to get intel).

      This Lenovo LOQ laptop is a better option in my openion, it was on sale few days ago for about $1400 before cashback (should be around $1200 with cashback + you can chat online with lenovo representative and negotiate a better deal for any laptop):
