Original Coupon Deal

Very good price on this gaming laptop. For FPS per dollar it's surely the king right now, great deal if there's nothing else hugely wrong with the rest of the laptop

The 3060 inside has similar performance to the RTX 2070S

I believe this model has a 95W TDP on the RTX 3060, but someone might want to confirm.
240Hz screen is very good for gaming.

Note the i5-10500H here is a 6 core, not a 4 core like other mobile i5's. This processor is basically identical in specs to the i7-9750H (same cache and clocks)

Combine this with the $50 voucher on joining eBay plus here https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/605726

Mod note: this deal was posted with an unobtainable price (originally $1619.10 ($1583.12 with eBay Plus). The title has been corrected to $1,649 as there was a maximum discount limit imposed on the coupon codes.

      Well, it is pretty thick and has atleast 2 exhaust fans, so your chances of thermal-throttling are pretty low compared to skinny Razer laptops.

        Do you recommend any great laptops for uni and work? If so could you link me some my budget is $1700 max just needs a good screen/long battery life/fast and no issues such overheating/flickering screens etc

        • Creamy on 19/02/2021 - 22:10

          If you're gonna be carrying it everywhere and won't really be playing games, probably get a lighter and thinner laptop.

          • aamer hamid on 19/02/2021 - 22:30

              @aamer hamid: If you want something reliable and light then probably the new M1 mac air. It's gonna be a bit harder to find windows laptops around $1.5k with good build, battery, performance, screen and weight. If you want a windows one then I recommend to go for a laptop with a Ryzen 4000 or 5000 series processor, they'll be hard to find but shop around and check jb out if they have any.

          https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Lenovo-Legion-5Pi-Intel-Core-i7-…

          Use the code PLEVO and you'll get it for around 1700.00.

          Edit - this is if you're looking for gaming as well. If you're not, then you could get something without a GPU. Careful with the new macs. I'm a teacher, and some of my students have them and they're all complaining of issues with macs made in the last 2 years.

                          @aamer hamid: According to reviews, the M11 Macbook is apparently the way to go with the Xps 13 coming next. I had an Xps 15/17 last year and while they are nicely built and sexy as, had so many issues had to return both…. Also probably out of your price range.

                          Given your price range, the lenovo or one of their thinkpads is probably the best bet since it's during a sale. Lenovo units are pretty reliable + light.

        Not always the case. Alienware M3 and M2s are pretty thick too and they too suffer thermal throttling… Some laptops are just designed poorly.

          I had the M3 and can attest to this. That mofo ran HOT. Burned me a couple of times. They need to invent better small cooling for these kinds of laptops.

    Had this laptop with the exact spec. Reminds me of my good old Metabox P series back in 2012. The fan can be very loud when gaming and the palm rest can warm up easily, which is expected. Better use it with external keyboard if you’re able too. Good price for what you’re getting.

    Only thing i hate is the big GIGABYTE sign right under the screen. It takes up like 20% of the lid space.

    probably in 5 years time Intel x64 will be all replaced by ARM architecture processors

    9750H has slightly faster single core
    but 10500H has slight faster multi core benchmarks

    Other than that, most specs are identical
    same 45W power consumption
    same 14nm processors
    same Intel U630 GPU

      It s not that simple. I found it really hard to understand how my laptop's decide to throttle either CPU and/or GPU just because you reach the power limit. Especially because you have the GPU power and the laptop Power limit and they are not advertised and can t be changed. But basically you don t want to play competitive games as you can bet it s going to throttle when you don t want to.

      • scud70 on 20/02/2021 - 09:26
        +1

        No it's not that simple as it's dependent on the OEM, cooling, CPU so on, however gpu wise James is about correct, so far reviews are showing that's an ok estimate if you can't find a comprehensive review of the particular laptop.

        • cbastien on 20/02/2021 - 13:50

          When the gpu throttle you ll only have a third/half of the performance of a 2060. It may only be 10% or 20% of the time depending of cooling/OEM but it will kill any competitive gaming and it will happen even if the OEM use the max power limit allowed by nvidia. But I agree average fps will be around 2060. I just personally find the use of average a bit a lie and I m not sure people realise we are talking about average here. Also if you re a casual gamer it s not a big problem !

          • scud70 on 20/02/2021 - 14:20

            @cbastien: Definitely… With this gen gaming laptops it's super important to get a review of the exact model you are looking at otherwise it can be pretty rough…

    Seems to be basically a clevo laptop that got gigabytes name written on there

    Battery life is sub 3 hours so far

    Gaming performance is middle of the 3060 road
    90w GPU + 45w CPU

    Fans are loud

    Palm rest digs a little in to my hand

    Expandable, 2 X NVMe slots, 2x Dimm slots, 1x 2.5"

    Virtually no bloat

    For this price it's pretty good, if you don't need a portable machine that's quite
