Agree this is no deal hn better
been a long time since someone said Harvey Norman is better
I know right lol
The Harvey's deal has a better GPU but rest of the Acer components are inferior to this laptop. If you want a desktop gaming replacement that is going to be plugged into a decent screen, the Acer would be an option. If you want an actual laptop, the Medion(Tongfang chassis) maybe an option.
Acer has inferior CPU

10300h scores 8742 vs 17344 of the 5600h
8gb RAM vs 16gb
$1000 vs $1500
As I said, it depends on your needs. If you are going to spend $1500, I would chose the Lenovo Legion with a 100% sRGB 165hz display and AMD CPU over the Medion or Acer for an actual laptop.

@ALBastru: I am already aware of that. However Medion laptop chassis are usually a whitebox from Clevo or TongFang vs Lenovo sourced chassis from an ODM.
@shellshocked: That chassis has Clevo written all over it. Nothing wrong with that, it looks nothing in common with any of the Lenovo units.
Everyone focuses too much on GPU these days.
It's not like everyone is mining or playing games.
That’s fair but it looks like they’re marketing this a gaming laptop. If you’re after a gaming laptop you can do much better for $1500. If you’re not after a gaming laptop then this isn’t a good choice either, considering size, weight and aesthetic of the design
It's also not like you're gonna tell the difference between running MS Word / Excel or Chrome / Browser between the two CPUs either.
Then save your money and spend half the amount on a laptop that doesnt have a dedicated GPU
I would rather burn money than give it to HN. TBH Screw him. At least Aldi actually takes care of their employees somewhat instead of sucking taxpayers dry.
Ryzen 7 would have been better pay a bit more and get from BingLee ASUS ROG Strix G15
Pay a bit more and get 3090Ti 200GB
And a bit more for 4080 next year
how about a bit more for 5080?
What aisle are gaming laptops on? Is it next to the vegetables lol
Between the kayak and caravan cover.
Wow An Razer latop for 1$G
I don't understand why they can't put an Intel Wifi/Bluetooth card into a $1500 laptop. I mean the potential support issues alone with crappy Realtek hardware and drivers should outweigh the few dollars they save here.
It depends on the supply at the time. If you look up the spec of this laptop in Europe, with the Ryzen 5600h and 3050ti, it has an Intel Nic. I have both Intel amd Realtek Nics in multiple computers and neither are perfect.
Pretty sure this looks like a Clevo chassis
Certainly doesn't seem a bargain
2.3kg if anybody want to know the weight.
'Erazer' and 'Crawler' seems an odd choice for naming a gaming laptop. I guess if it runs like a dog and you lose all your files, you can't get a refund on false advertising.
Erazer is similar to Razor
Not sure what they were going for with Crawler
My theory with ALDI was that they make products that look prime but cutting down on some crucial aspects. For example once I came across a 50 inch TV, 48 is popular and 55, but 50? The price would be decent but the customer is made into thinking they made a good choice. I don't know maybe I am overthinking it.
Looks like somebody never owned a plasma.
I skipped after the Tube TVs :)
They buy 55" panels with faults near the edge, trim that off and sell it as a slightly smaller TV.
I appreciate that in terms of sustainability
So what's wrong with 50? 48 is good, 55 is good, but 50 is cutting down crucial details and fooling people?
48 is alright but small, 55 is good for people who don't want to spend too much on electronics and also want a taste of large screen. 50 is misleading and the price is not indifferent to 55. As I said, my theory. I also see your perspective though…
$1500 for a 3050Ti laptop is sure not a deal
If it was a thin and light ultrabook with high quality build, a 3050 Ti at this price might be decent but it’s a relatively chonky gaming laptop which is just a rip off at this price
Once again, just shows how good a deal the Krakens from BPC are (were?)…
Is the memory expandable to 32 gigs?
I would still take the 3060 Harvey Norman deal for $1,099:
