    Yeh but the screen can't even display a reasonable set of colours

    And IdeaPad is full aluminium now?

          True but with a H series processor the likelihood ain't high.

    This vs Macbook Air M1…

    Still don't see any Intel altnernatives to the M1 - no fans required, and high performance whether on battery or not… and good battery life. Can't be that…?

    But this deal is very enticing, especially compared to the previous Lenovo deal.

      • ram4ram on 11/06/2023 - 20:16

        This is for gaming… i.e. massive fans, not passivly cooled like the M1.

          There’s a few AAA DX12 games that work surprisingly well on M1 MBA with the new Porting Toolkit. Not quite consumer-level ease of operation, but it’s getting there.

    • shellshocked on 11/06/2023 - 17:43

      If you are looking for a MacBook M1/M2 rival you aren't looking at Intel 12th and 13th gen, because they have very average performance per watt. Hence probably why Apple presentations keep comparing to past Intel based laptops prior to M1. Instead you are looking at AMD Phoenix, 7640/7840/7940, which have much better performance per watt and good iGPUs. Hence you are starting to see these CPUs being promoted on YouTube in multiple devices such as SFF PCs, hand helds like the ROG Ally, and laptops like the 2023 Asus X13.

      https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/5454vs5183/AMD-Ryzen-9-…

      7940HS scores 30k
      M2 Max scores 26k

      The Asus A16 gaming laptop with AMD Phoenix can play a lot of AAA titles at high/ultra settings and has a battery runtime up to 20hrs. Whilst it's not an Air competitor, it's rare for a gaming focused laptop to have such good battery life capabilities.

        Your response could be awesome if you advised which AMD chips are fanless?

        • shellshocked on 11/06/2023 - 19:19
          +1

          Likewise if you could provide a response where M1/M2 can provide performance in applications outside the controlled Apple ecosystem, like AMD and Intel CPUs can provide with operating systems beyond Windows.

        • buddysayshi on 11/06/2023 - 20:17

          Good point, Apple fanless chips are really awesome. Even on battery power, the performance is really good.

      • ram4ram on 11/06/2023 - 20:18

        This is not an alternative (AMD 7940HS) because it's a gaming laptop, i.e. requires massive fans and very likely plugged in to reach its max potential.

        Genuinely curious about M1/M2 alternatives for WIndows with respect to performance and cooling and battery life.

        • shellshocked on 11/06/2023 - 20:29

          As I already stated in my previous comment, the Asus A16 is a gaming laptop which provide really good battery life for productivity and also play AAA titles at high/ultra settings with a 7940HS. It's something that the M1/M2 can't provide and hence is not a direct competitor.

          If you want a 13" laptop with the same AMD Phoenix CPU, good dGPU, and good battery life, lookup the Asus ROG Flow X13 2023 2in1 touch screen.

      No fleecing for cloud services because they dont provide enough storage. And it's possible to leave android if you want, because they don't make a whole heap of transfer programs that don't work.

    • shellshocked on 11/06/2023 - 18:06

      Probably because they didn't want to pay for costs of certifying the laptop for Thunderbolt by Intel. It is an entry level chassis.

    I'd personally save the money and get either the Yoga Slim 7 suggested by OP or this:
    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/780062

    The processor choice seems extremely weird. Tons of CPU cores but there's no way you're extracting anywhere near all the performance with the cooling afforded by a small 14" chassis. Not to mention the H series processors have severely cut down graphics engines (64 graphics cores vs 80/96 in the U series i5/i7) so for most people who would use this laptop for casual gaming it's actually not a good choice.

    In my opinion this model only really makes sense as a portable workstation for someone with very bursty loads who can make use of the full 16 threads.

    • matt-ozb on 11/06/2023 - 19:54

      I bought the Asus ROG Flow Z13 last year .. i5-12500H is tablet form factor. Worked great in tablet. This should have more cooling capacity.

      • Spoodster on 11/06/2023 - 19:58
        +1

        Interestingly Asus made the Z13 as a concept to see if making a tablet form factor could result in better cooling as the hot parts are raised and exposed to airflow. It actually worked, so the Z13 is one of the better cooled devices out there.

I need to buy a new laptop but for these applications but I don't want to carry around heavy gaming around wit me.

        Thank you for your reply.

        Yes I am going to do 30hz.

        So to connect to all three monitors at 4K 30hz, can I connect from the HDMI and the two USB-Cs (using USB-C to HDMI or USB-C to DP cables/docks) at the laptop end? And is that the only option?

        • Ninja9 on 17/07/2023 - 21:43

          3 monitors plus the laptop screen as well, so 4 displays in total?

          • guessMyName on 18/07/2023 - 04:42

            @Ninja9: Correct, although I don't think I will use the laptop screen if I connect to 3 monitors
