It was for $2900ish, if i have the same deal in mind.
I almost got that deal but i couldn't decide in time and i had just bought a legion with an i9 and 4090 the week before.
It was for an acer triton and i think it had the better i9 and a few other better specs.
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/799926#comment-14295742It was a pricing error and there was no confirmation it was ever honoured. Ppl commented that they got a forced refund. See comments.
This deal is pretty good for an i9 + 4090
It was a hp omen 4090 with i7, after cashback $3000ish, my bad, i thought it was $2000ish
$2886 after cashback and 5% off.
Ended up selling it for 4k
😃
Miles off my friend. 4090’s never been anywhere close to $2000. Cheapest was $3290 in August 23. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/794532
$3000
$3299 was cheapest it went for ONCE, 2 others time was around $3699
Plus 5% off and cashback brought it to under $3k
No way there was 3090 or 4090laptops at 2k. That is 3060-4070 territory, 3080 at best
RTX 4090 woah
Mobile and not same card as desktop, Nvidia should get more crap for this practice, they dont even put the "M" designation anymore.
only thing it has in common with 4090 is the model number
Laptop 4090 performance is equivalent to desktop 4070 - not exactly of course.
How much would you have to pay to get a desktop that outperforms this?
@Sinnerator: Thanks. That is about what this would cost pre-tax. So if I was a serious gamer this would only be better for portability. And maybe resale… Interesting
So tempting… Can I really claim this for work purposes? EOFY is close and I'm paying stupid tax on earnings now
Ofc you can. It's your choice what machine you do your work on.
Please stop before I buy one
My last 2 work laptops have been Razer Blades. And my work home desktop is a 4090 machine.
That sweet sweet tax claim
I got one of these on Salary Sacrifice as a Prinary School Teacher.
If anyone questions it I'll say something about ingestigating AI use in education … which I did actually do, for like a month and got bored and ran out of time.
You'd have to apportion it for work use and depreciate it if you are just an employee somewhere.
This is ozb were all high rollers on $1500 per day contracts aren't we?
Imagine being on only $1500 a day…
Didn't know I was on OzBougie
So if you are given a work laptop, you apportion 0%.
Don't expect the full performance of mobile 4090 (which is already much slower than the desktop version), thermal throttling is pretty bad with this model
I had an older model with full 165W 3080 which had no issues with temperature. Maybe the newer Intel CPUs overload the thermal system?
Yea the cpu thermal throttle is real. Gpu not so much, just the mem.
Cpu has liquid metal on it, gpu has paste, then eveything else has putty. Execpt 1 cpu vrm that has a thermal pad.
It's cooled by slithers of copper plate inside cast aluminium. 2 shared heatpipes and 1 extra for gpu.
I've take mine apart already. Liquid metal leaked out the side so lucky i did. They did a terrible job with the putty. I respread it and vram dropped from 105 to low 90s.
Mx6 is good enough for the gpu. But not for this power dense intel. Going to get a honeywell pad as that has shown others an improvement.
Considering buying another back plate. Modding it with fuether heat pipes/led vapour chambers. Ive also seen some good mods with ddr5 waterblocks.
I have the i7 model and all my benchmarks were inline with other 4090s.
No 4K screen? GPU must be throttled
I've got a 4K laptop screen and it sucks. It's pointless to have 4K on a screen that size, because all you do is super-size everything so that it's usable. What you want for 4K is a 32" external monitor. The laptop's own screen doesn't matter.
My point is that the fake overpriced RTX4070 deskptop equivalent GPU can't even run 4K60p on latest titles. Ppl pay for fake nomenclature.
4k on desktop or laptop is stupid either way. No way to maintain 60fps on any modern game.
@Letrico: I think the only case where you might not get 60 fps 4k is in the few games that have path tracing ray trace, otherwise you should be more than fine.
Most people don't get a gaming laptop for 4k gaming, they get it for reasons like space constraints, portability.
I've been using QHD 3060 and 4060 laptops for couple years and it struggles to get 60fps in some games.
So 4090 laptop is supposed to be the best NVidia laptop GPU out there.
NVidia isn't claiming anywhere that it is the same as Desktop 4090.
HP isn't promoting it for 4k either since they didn't put a pointless 4k monitor on a small laptop screen.Most people aren't paying for "fake" nomenclature, they're buying a gaming laptop with the best/top end NVidia laptop graphics card. You just assume you're the only smart person out there and everybody else is dumb and is falling for NVidia's tricks thinking it's same as a "Desktop", when they clearly made the decision to buy a laptop with QHD monitor instead of setting up a Desktop with 4k monitor
@tjoy: I wouldn't spend $4K on a laptop that can't run 4K 60p smoothly on most latest titles. Even on an external monitor. If you purchased this unit, then let me know after a year, a few warranty returns and i'm happy to offer you $1400 for it. Like i've done with most "top ender" laptops.
@vinni9284: Not sure what you're talking about, I didn't say anything about value for money or resale value that's upto the individual whether they want the best laptop GPU atm for bragging rights, do they want to sell it after a year etc
My comment was replying to "Can't run 4k, its not the same as Desktop GPU, NVidia Fake nomenclature"
@tjoy: Just to reiterate and make it clear, it's fake nomenclature. It's like buying a 'claimed' V8 corvette with the power of a 6.
Well it's not even close to the desktop 4090 anyway
Fake nomenclature
lol, 4K on a 17" screen?? You need like 27"+ to be able to notice the difference with 4K.
Really?. You're sitting closer to the laptop then a 27' desktop screen. Resolution to distance ratio. So do you have a 4K 17' laptop to comment?
I don't have one, no, but refer to Morven's comment above. Also there's not a huge difference in the sitting distance between a laptop and desktop monitor.
@Mondorock: Icons can be set at 150% on the display. Furthermore, browser fonts etc can be zoomed. Not sure what the complaint is however he can have a poor quality entry level 4K screen.
Is Omen better than MSI Vector series?
Gee, people still got lots fo cash to burn these daysNice just bought five
I would definitely get one even when I don't need it, if it was around $2500.
I bought one when the last sale was happening, I can confirm it does run a bit hot but honestly is what I expected, bought a solid IETS cooling pad and undervolting the CPU certainly helped, with headphones on can't hear the cooler.
I was a dogged Israel supporter until I read this OzBargain comment under the HP OMEN Gaming Laptop (17.3" QHD, Core i9-13900HX, RTX 4090) deal. Thanks for your insightful and well-targeted contribution to the debate!
Nice I bought one with my student loan
it is loud and hot while you are playing games. A headphone will be a must thing.
So is every other gaming laptop
Would absolutely b love this ! Enjoy .
Snagged one. Thanks OP.
I see it's gone up in price around $93 than last time. Got one anyway
That code is just for this laptop? Or will work on other stuff?
Never mind, I see it works with everything once you click other items
Anyone know of a suitable laptop cooling pad to go with this? Sounds like it gets pretty hot.
I plan to use it with my IETS GT600v2. It is an incredibly good cooler (reduced temps 30°C+ on my Legion 7) but it is very loud.
Yeah hearing a lot about that one being the best. Seems tricky to get in Australia.
BA Falcon twin thermatic fan setup, just in case the BGA fails.
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/373216322301?itmmeta=01HY5996YZW…Yeah just get a desk fan
Do HP give you a tax invoice for this purchase?
We use HP at work. Here are some of my observations.
1. Failure rate quite high. Most die within two years.
2. Of all laptop brands I've seen, this is the one with most bloatware.
3. My biggest gripe is with their keyboard layout. They made them different from conventional layout which takes some time to get used to. Another weird thing I've found is if you press the quote(' or") key it always puts a pair of them on screen even on one keystroke.If you're wondering why we still buy them at work, it's because our IT manager seems obsessed with HP. Maybe it's cheaper to buy
Assuming this is the one (https://www.hp.com/au-en/shop/omen-by-hp-laptop-17-ck2039tx-…) on sale on eBay since it matches the MPN, it has two shortcomings I can see
1. Display is 300 nits
2. 720p webcam720p webcam is fine. I prefer not having to do my hair when WFH
Display is okay as mostly I'd have it connected to a large screen or VR headset
We also had this deal in 2023.
HP Omen 17 - i7-12700H - 16GB RAM - 1TB SSD - RTX 3080 TI 16GB - 17.3" 165Hz - $1810.40
vs
HP Omen 17 - i9-13900HX - 32GB RAM - 2TB SSD - RTX 4090 16GB - 17.3" 240Hz- $3619.20$1800+ more for the bolded specs with this deal.
And that laptop is currently on sale at $2743 now so $900+ today
Arrived.
Is it good?
GPU: Amazeballs
CPU: I have severe underperformance issues that I am trying to diagnose
Laptop: Well built with plenty of ports though I wish it had one more USB-C
Is anyone who bought this having performance issues with their CPU?
Back in 2023, I saw people got similar specs for $2000ish? Any chance we bargainers can get similar price in 2024?
