        It's a steal. I bought it as a backup for my Dell XPS so I wanted something that looks, feels, and performs like a premium laptop. This ticks all the boxes except no dedicated graphics card but I won't be using it for anything more taxing than editing photos and home movies. You could always plug in an external graphics card into one of the Thunderbolt ports if you wanted to game on it or process large video files.

            • Irishness on 30/06/2022 - 09:55

        • Jake Pebbles on 30/06/2022 - 14:04

          Now that is new to me about external graphic card. I suppose i haven't been paying attention to the Laptop/pc for quite a while so don't really knbow much about it. Now maybe I should get one, find a cheap external graphic card later.

        • This Void on 30/06/2022 - 15:08

          Just remember that all GPUs used in eGPU setups will take a 10-15% performance hit compared to desktop setups. This might be even worse at higher resolutions and faster GPUs, or if you use the internal display instead of an external monitor hooked up to the eGPU.

      I would touch screen. I got it on an xps and it’s great

    • eug on 30/06/2022 - 14:25

      I personally wouldn't buy a laptop without a touchscreen. Once you're used to it, it's really, really difficult to go back.

      • mantichoral on 11/07/2022 - 11:50

        but a touchscreen laptop has to open at least 180 degrees to lie flat.

        touchscreens that only open just past 90 degrees are painful to use.

        • eug on 11/07/2022 - 11:59

          I don't use it flat like a tablet. I use it to quickly tap on ui elements like to dismiss a dialog box, navigate a webpage, or move things around.

          e.g. when my hands are on the keyboard and I need to click on OK, I can either move my hand to the trackpad, move the cursor to the OK button and click, or I can just move my hand to the screen and tap it immediately.

  • kaikor on 29/06/2022 - 20:49

    • mantichoral on 11/07/2022 - 11:36

    Seeing how similar this $899 design is to Apple's Macbooks, really shows much extra Apple tax you pay for their Intel-powered line-up.

    And how rubbish it is to charge hundreds of extra dollars for some extra SSD space or RAM.

    (yes I know this no longer applies with their M1 and M2 chips)

    • Irishness on 30/06/2022 - 09:57
      +3

      have you have seen Apple's profits……… their margins are big, sure they make a good product but they captialise on their name by charging a premium

    • cycleri3 on 30/06/2022 - 10:29
      +1

      Even this unit has soldered ram sadly.

    • Bedgrub on 30/06/2022 - 11:29

      You also get a brighter screen with much higher DPI, thinner and lighter chassis with decent build quality, excellent keyboard, a significantly faster CPU and disk.

      Apple also provide an operating system that is supported for (most of) the life of the platform. Sure, Windows is cheap if you know where to look, but it’s factored into the cost of most PC laptops as well.

      It’s almost as if people just have different preferences and use cases too. Weird.

      Don’t get me wrong, I actually like this laptop, but you’re certainly not comparing apples with apples.

      • Kontiki on 30/06/2022 - 12:35
        +1

        Much faster CPU? I was not comparing to M1 models obviously. You also haven’t addressed the excessive over-charging on upgrades.

        I also don’t get the feedback on the lifecycle of Windows. I ran Windows 10 on my 2007-built PC just fine. Upgraded from previous Windows versions for free. Got an offer from Ms to upgrade to 11 for free too.

        Typing this on an iPhone btw, I’m not anti-Apple. Just like my wallet as full as possible.

        Meanwhile my 2010 MacBook has been collecting dust for years. Because I can no longer upgrade it to the latest OS.

      • dtoovey on 30/06/2022 - 13:07

        Across the years, I 've had both PCs and Mac, as well as iPhones (for my wife) and androids (for me and father-in-law).

        And in the last week, I was shocked at how a 1.5 year old cheap Android I bought for my father-in-law had become laggy. I ran an update, some built-in google clean functions, deleted some files, and it still ran like crap. The next day, I booted a W11 laptop I havent used for a while after buying myself a 12th Gen desktop, and same thing - after all the obligatory updates and so forth, and it was laggy. And this is not a few version of OS further on. This is maybe one version of OS since new purchase.

        Meanwhile, i have an iPhone 6S still getting the latest updates and running just fine, plus a 2015 macbook pro that works fine as well. I would say that a lot of the apple premium is in the software maintenance as well as optimisation for the older hardware. Not to mention they usually put good hardware in the machine in the first place.

        • Kontiki on 30/06/2022 - 16:04

          Oddly enough I switched from iPhone to Android a few years back, because my iPhone had become laggy after i updated iOS. Turns out it was done on purpose by Apple, as a 'feature' to save battery power in older models. Only later did they admit and add an option to switch it off.

          (back on iPhone now btw, but have been very happy with a Pixel for a few years).

          Like I mentioned above, my 2007 PC ran Windows 10 fine until I discarded it in 2020 due to the need for 4K video editing power. It lasted a hell of a lot longer than my 2010 Macbook. I guess we all have different experiences with brands.

        • eug on 30/06/2022 - 16:32

          The next day, I booted a W11 laptop I havent used for a while after buying myself a 12th Gen desktop, and same thing - after all the obligatory updates and so forth, and it was laggy.

          Funny, just yesterday I was removing user accounts from a ThinkPad Yoga S1 that's 8 or 9 years old, upgraded to Windows 10, to be used by someone else. It wasn't laggy, it ran as you'd expect an i3 laptop to run. It was still being used daily up till yesterday with typical MS Office apps, Teams, and web browsing.

          Was that W11 laptop on an SSD for the boot drive?

    • mantichoral on 11/07/2022 - 11:45

      totally agree, and Mac screen hinges are flimsy, don't open 180 degrees, don't have touch. I want a standard M.2 slot, not some weird Apple thing that ties it securely to one motherboard.

      I'm really hoping that Intel spins laptop manufacturing off as a separate unit… which will then save money and reduce prices by switching to AMD processors.

    Whilst I'm still not necessarily sold on the Intel NUC brand being spread to laptops that you can't upgrade ram in, that is a hell of a lot of computer in what appears to be a really nice chassis for not a lot of money.

    • Irishness on 30/06/2022 - 15:08
      +3

      yeah would be so much better if there was at least one slot for upgrading but still 16gb is ok for the life of the laptop I reckon

      • geosta on 30/06/2022 - 22:53

        Absolutely, for the people normally looking in this price bracket it is more than enough than they'll need for the the life of the laptop. The CPU is going to be long in the tooth before they are going to need more than 16GB

    • mantichoral on 11/07/2022 - 11:54

      The nice thing about this laptop is that it's brand free, apart from the little removable Intel evo square sticker below the keyboard.

      no logo on the back. no logo below the screen. just brutally functional. architecturewise, it's definitely from the school of brutalism.

      • geosta on 11/07/2022 - 12:32

        Yes, it does have a nice clean aesthetic, as long as you like the same Macbook design of that's essentially unchanged for 14 years. I've been over it for a very long time.

          well, the all-black model is now going for less than the plain aluminium model.

          I don't think all-black is a good choice in the aussie sun, and like being able to tell my keys from my keyboard, but the choice is there.

    I think this is a decent laptop. 16 GB soldered is a small downer but still a usable amount of RAM at this price point, I do like the fact the RAM is clocked at 4266 instead of the typical 3200 or slower. The other highlights for me are IPS screen with 400+ Nits and the 73 WH battery.

    The NUC branding is a bit confusing as I'm used to that being on little cube computers with ports instead of laptops but looks like marketing couldn't come up with something new this time.
