      Depends on what you are looking for.

      Gaming: no

        It's fine for gaming e-sports titles and older generation games. The CPU is a beast and is normally used in gaming laptops. Please refer to the YouTube video I linked to below regarding the 20 games played on the iGPU alone. Lenovo sells this laptop with 8gb for $1549, so it's a great deal for such a good spec. I personally believe it's a big pricing error. Buying anyway. Lets see what Officeworks comes back with. I got a pick up date of the 24th.

        Please refer to Passmark for the performance of the 5600H CPU

            @Krad3r: Thanks mate.
            Do you think touch screen and Build quality matter?

            • Krad3r on 11/12/2021 - 17:40

              @alakar: Build quality yes, touch screen not so much unless you are used to it already in day to day work.

              I would like to mention that with this deal, you get a much better screen quality.

              I'm quite a lenovo fan myself so I may be a bit biased, but comparatively I feel like lenovo has a better build quality than HP. Would be good if you can go to a store and feel it for yourself so you can decide better.

      I have the 5600H with a dGPU, turned off the dGPU to test the iGPU & it's great tbh, it won't be up to scratch for 2020+ AAA, but it runs most games 900p.

      Tomb Raider 2013 900p was 90fps, Dishonoured was 45fps.

  • Borg on 10/12/2021 - 23:54

    Just wish they put a better Cams on notebooks. 720p in this day and age is silly and very average quality when using with Zoom, Skype etc.

    • [Deactivated] on 11/12/2021 - 00:08
      +4

      Microsoft has now placed a requirement that all future webcams must be 1080p for windows. So this is the last generation of these crappy cameras.

    • nfusion on 11/12/2021 - 00:09
      -2

      Not many people's internet is good enough to stream 1080p for online meetings. And from my experience I'm glad not many laptops do it, when I'm on a call with 20 other people, if half of them did 1080p, my laptop and internet would be screwed. :)

      For streamers and content creators that's a different story but for online meetings I think 720p works pretty well.

      • Borg on 11/12/2021 - 00:28
        +3

        More about the quality of the Cams I mean. The higher res usually means better quality pic regardless of whether you can stream at that res (in my experience at least).

      • Borg on 11/12/2021 - 00:51

        @nfusion: it makes no difference on what res other people use. You only get what is avail to your speed. In fact the better the cam they use chances are you will see them clearer even at lower res.

        • nfusion on 11/12/2021 - 01:49
          +1

          Someone more knowledgeable on video compression can school me on this but I fully expect that a person with a crap internet on a 720p camera will appear clearer to me than someone with a fancy as 1080p camera with same crap internet because of more compression/loss on the higher res to fit in the same bandwidth. Max bitrate,on the streamer side will determine the resulting Max quality of the video recipients can get. So even if you have a nice camera but crap internet, you're still gonna look crap. But if you steam lower red on crap internet then you should save on bw and look better no?
          It's been a while since I did signal processing all I'm happy to be taught why a higher res would be better on same crap internet.
          Oh and then on the down load / me as a recipient of all these streams, if my download is crap, you will look crap on my screen no matter how good your upload. And if I'm downloading streams from 20 other people with a screen share. Bitrate of each person stream wouldn't be too great since you would have to all fit in my bandwidth right?

          • RowdyShopper on 12/12/2021 - 08:00

            @nfusion: @nfusion Not an expert here. I think for the same codec at the same bitrate for low motion scenes like video-conferencing you won't notice much between the two resolutions, at least until there is some major change to the image (someone moves into/out of view) then you will likely see artifacting until the motion settles down. If using different codecs then that's another story again. H265 can do the same quality and bitrate as H264 but at half the stream size so I think it can retain a higher qualtiy even with some motion.
            A quick thing I found from googling… https://www.videoconverterfactory.com/tips/h265vsh264.html

          • weezlebub on 13/12/2021 - 13:38

            @nfusion: my stab at it:

            • as the latency increases, the messaging platforms generally scale down the quality or the frame rate, but controlled within the software & processed by the local hardware …
            • a 1080p image scaled down to 720i will be a better quality image (due to smoothing and other video tweaking tricks)

            generally speaking, you're right, but the software scaling uses the local pc's processor to reduce the image quality, leading to a better image …

    How's Warzone on this vs a PS5?

    This is tempting, I need a new laptop mainly as a workstation but wouldn't mind being able to play some games.

    Still using my Samsung Ultrabook which is i7, 8gb ram and 10 years old.
    My cat took a shit on the keyboard, and O lt half of it works now.

    Otherwise it does the job for work, internet quite easily.

    • shellshocked on 11/12/2021 - 00:16

      Unfortunately the 5600H is normally paired with a dGPU in a gaming laptop, so benchmarks of Warzone with iGPU are hard to find. You can check how the desktop 5600g with a 65w TDP plays Warzone to get an idea of performance in the YouTube video link below. The 45w TDP CPU in this laptop will be slower though due to thermal constraints.

              @[Deactivated]: The PS5 will play Warzone better, because the game is optimised for that platform. You would treat the laptop as a jack of all trades where gaming is mainly optimised on e-sports titles, in addition to productivity.

        It's still 25-40% more, which is substantial.

        Purchases made through Lenovo's student store, staff discounts, corporate deals, and negotiated offers (phone/email/chat) are ineligible for cashback

        Real price $1400, thus $430 more than current deal. It's still a good deal, but the better GPU is costing you $430 more, if all other specs are equal. On the website, they've all got 8GB ram standard, not 16GB.

        Also, op didn't post the deal or no one else has mentioned.
        Otherwise anyone can simply ask for a bargain

        • ashftc on 11/12/2021 - 09:33
          +4

          Absolutely agree with you. 40% more is substantial. Unless you need a dGpu, can’t justify the increase. Depends on your need. But there is one more difference, 5600h vs 5800h processor.

          Yup anyone can ask for a bargain. I just said I got at this price and I mentioned how. I am not saying it was a deal everyone missed.

          • [Deactivated] on 12/12/2021 - 09:40

            @ashftc: Yeah, $1200 is a great price if CB cleared but t&c say it shouldn't.

            If it doesn't, it's $1400 which is still a solid price.

            I don't game personally, that's why it doesn't bother me too much. My understanding is my PS5 is better than half these GPUs in laptops so I don't see the point for myself.

Ordered 5x IdeaPad 5 Ryzen 7 5700U 15.6" FHD (1920x1080) for work a few months ago for $1200-ish from memory and was very impressed by them (in terms of both look, build, style etc), so looking forward to this as a Christmas present to myself.

          1.3kg for the HP and 1.9kg for this one. With other school stuffs, 600g really makes difference. But you can always order and choose a bit later.

            @vihand: That's what I did haha. Bought this one in the morning. Will just compare and return/cancel later

              @YahooChess: I know it might depend what I am looking for.
              But ThiS VS hp envy 360 , that deal a few days ago, https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/670211

              Which would be better for non-school , everyday daily use?

                @alakar: Do you need to travel with it a lot? Also keep in mind that the HP only has 8g RAM so multi tasks would be a bit concern. Finally do you care about the looks, personally I would prefer the HP one as full metal dark case looks great.
