Hi there,

I’m after a gaming laptop.

Budget: $3500
Size:15”-16”
Weight/Aesthetics : Any weight but preferably more slim/sleek
Purpose: General, Gaming, Creator, Business, IT work
Battery life: Any

Was considering Asus M16 and X16 Flow but prices are ridiculous.
Hoping to keep budget on lower side with coupons/cashback etc.

Thanks!

That budget will possibly buy you a top of the line 16" Lenovo Legion with an RTX 3080 I'd wager.

  I’m trying to keep it around $3k
  There was a deal on the Razer Blade 15 advanced 3070ti for 3k but just missed it.
  I wouldn’t usually go for Razer but at that price!

    There is another Rzer Blade 17 deals.

      I saw but 17” is a too big for me

  I had a look at Metabox before but not a fan of the chassis lol

    check out Aftershock PC - they do gaming laptops
    - RegentHoney on 09/08/2022 - 23:20
      
      I had a look at their laptops too. Maybe I’m fussy but I wasn’t a fan of the aesthetics.

        @BLAIL: It’s a bit bulky looking and kind of looks like an Alienware wannabe. Hahahaha

        @RegentHoney: you've turned down pretty much every suggestion..are you sure you want a gaming laptop?
        
        RegentHoney on 10/08/2022 - 14:39
        
        @BLAIL: Yeah lol, just looking for something with a slimmer profile.

        RegentHoney on 10/08/2022 - 15:07
        
        @BLAIL: The Intel Nuc X15/Kraken etc is not a bad contender but I’m looking for more options also.
        
        BLAIL on 10/08/2022 - 15:42
        
        @RegentHoney: Well…just wait for this to be on sale again https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/715848

You could buy a legion 7 at full price with that.
I’d wait for a deal though.

There’s also a razer blade 15 for around $2600 with the eBay coupon

  I also saw the 3070ti deal on Razer but I’m torn between the quality control issues with them.

    You’re in Oz so worst case just consumer law their asses.
    It’s also the Microsoft store, so I’d be less worried than say a random computer store selling it.

      I’m hoping they have another deal on that 3070ti one!

        @RegentHoney: If I can get a QHD 3060 15” for close to $2k I’ll be cheering.
