    Specs seem pretty good here. Decent RAM, battery, CPU, dual charging ports etc.

    Great deal, I bought the same one for $1450 a couple of weeks ago. Was only $80 or something extra for 3 years on site warranty too I think

    • cobknob on 15/07/2023 - 20:07

      Good laptop?

      • booboo on 15/07/2023 - 20:14

        Haven't got it yet! But it was the best performance vs cost and weight that I could find

        • cobknob on 15/07/2023 - 20:38

          You get any extras?

          I'm looking at

          +$69 - Upgrade CPU to Ryzen 7
          +$69 - RAM to 32GB
          +$49 - SSD to 1TB
          +$0 - Wifi 6E
          +114$ - Win11 Pro

          +40$ - 3yr onsite support
          +24$ - 3yr sealed battery replacement

          1544$

          *Earn $135 in rewards - no idea what this can be for?

          If I get, I'll so use that sealed battery replacement lol within 3yr for sure!

          • booboo on 16/07/2023 - 15:37

            @cobknob: Yeah that's what I got, minus the battery (which I regret not getting now!) and windows (can activate through mass gravel on github)

            • cobknob on 16/07/2023 - 18:45

              @booboo:

    $1321 if you remove the 2 year onsite service plan. Go to add service, untick the ‘show best deals’ and choose depot support.

    • shellshocked on 15/07/2023 - 16:52

      Noted and mentioned in the OP

  • Zeee on 15/07/2023 - 16:45

    Why not 7940hs and 780m rdna3 wait?

    • ATangk on 15/07/2023 - 16:52

      The only thing I’ve found so far in australia with a 7840Hs and no dedicated graphics card is a HP zbook firefly. Is there any other options atm?

    • FaultMaterial3322 on 15/07/2023 - 22:15
      +1

      There is already some testing on 7940 variants with greater CPU power but a limited improvement on GPU. If you are looking for a laptop using an integrated graphics card for gaming and working with long battery life, last-gen's 7735/6800 is a better option IMO.

  • [Deactivated] on 15/07/2023 - 16:58

    It's nice that alot of cheaper options are coming out with 32GB RAM now.

  • RubenM on 15/07/2023 - 17:01

    This seems decent too.

    • closey on 15/07/2023 - 17:08

      Yeah it's not bad, I was looking at it too. But can't seem to get more than 16gb ram

      • buddysayshi on 15/07/2023 - 17:14

        No option for 32GB unfortunately on that one.

      • japik on 15/07/2023 - 17:27

    A bit strange. Soldered RAM, only 2242 SSD slot… but almost 2kg!

    • wjsmelb on 15/07/2023 - 18:11

        Isn't 1.9kg actually pretty good for a 16 inch?

    • bbcw1980 on 15/07/2023 - 19:01

      Find me a Mac that is not soldered…………

    How long is AMD going to wait before they supply the lower power Zen4 chips? At this point, when they come out in decent volume, Meteor lake (14th gen) will be out. It's really not that hard to see why Microsoft dumped AMD for the Surface line despite having a partnership.

    • shellshocked on 15/07/2023 - 19:03

      Well based on reports over the last few months there are yield issues with Meteor lake, so there will be another refresh of Raptor lake 13th gen, but with 14th gen branding. Supposed Meteor lake can't scale beyond a certain core count without significant issues.

      You do realise the MS has a massive partnership with AMD for Xbox and Azure, over Intel which is much more lucrative than Surface.
      I think you need to look up how much Intel spent on MDF to get into Surface 5 before making random statements.

      • buddysayshi on 15/07/2023 - 20:00

        Why do you write negative on Intel chips most of the time? Is AMD always superior to Intel in every regard all the time?

        • shellshocked on 15/07/2023 - 20:24
          +5

          It is about providing balanced information on both products. Intel milked the cow (consumer) for all they could when they were dominant, until AMD launched Ryzen in 2017. Otherwise you would still be overpaying for a quad-core CPU in desktop and laptop.

          If you are looking for a portable laptop CPU with good performance, good battery life and good on board graphics, AMD is a better option at the moment because they provide better performance per watt. Unfortunately Intel dropped the ball on their manufacturing node and 12 and 13th gen provide very average performance per watt which effects battery life. If they provide a better product in future with good performance per watt that is not overpriced, like they did in the past, I will suggest their products.

          • buddysayshi on 15/07/2023 - 21:18

            @shellshocked: I agree with you on what you said but sometimes deals on Intel products are very good as well especially when they are on special. Hence I asked you about it. All good, thank you for your detailed thoughts.

      • VYCanisMajoris on 16/07/2023 - 09:14

        MDF? On a relatively ancient chassis design from a company that has always delivered products late into the product cycle and also happens to be one of the largest companies in the world? Said company also has major contracts with AMD including the Surface line like you said. The same company that has been pushing for Windows ARM laptops largely on it's own?

        Or it could quite simply be that AMD is prioritizing it's 5/4nm allocations to higher margin products like EPYC. I may be speculating but what else explains the massively misleading 7000 series naming scheme?

        Also, to benefit from Intel's EVO/Athena program, the device needed Thunderbolt which Microsoft had to dragged in kicking and screaming to implement. I understand smaller companies like MSI/ASUS but Microsoft is a massive stretch.

    I notice that the default specs does not have a fingerprint reader. A very useful feature that I use everyday.

  • TheFunkySalsa on 15/07/2023 - 19:31

    Any good for casual gaming (Genshin, Switch emulators, etc)?

      My ryzen 4500u managed genshin impact and cemu so I'm sure this would very easily.

      There are plenty of YouTube videos on the Radeon 680m gaming. Below is link with 30 games played on the 680m.

  • seraphim2017 on 15/07/2023 - 19:42

    AMD is vaporware for 2 years post "announcement". Just bought a 7735u laptop which is 2 year old 6800u rebranded. It'll do my needs but still disappointing that 2 years from release they're still a price and scarcity premium over an i7 1360p. If all I wanted was quicksync/light video editing I'd have gone the i7 route.

    Would love AMD to make the announcement of new chips when you could actually buy one to use. Reality was 680m vs iris xe gen 13, 780m would have been better but just not available at local/, realistic prices.

  • leiiv on 15/07/2023 - 20:38

    Anyone know how does the GPU perform? Can it run Diablo 4?

  • capslock janitor on 15/07/2023 - 20:49

    • ChipsChicky on 16/07/2023 - 10:52

      If you need it, its a good deal.

  • reddead2067 on 16/07/2023 - 07:46

    Thank you!

    I bought one with the upgraded specs you suggested.

  • jrvb42 on 16/07/2023 - 08:15

    Great deal, and thanks OP. One question I have is does the R7 actually perform as an R7 in laptop? I mean given the space and cooling, does it throttle back to keep cool as I've heard?

  • Doesnotcompute on 16/07/2023 - 09:05

    10% CW currently saves another $124, reducing out of pocket to $1242

  • deskii on 16/07/2023 - 11:36

    Any idea whether the iGPU will be ok or get a bit hot if I hooked the laptop up to an external monitor for everyday browsing and not gaming?
    Have heard the dedicated graphic cards freeze up the system if you use the HDMI port on some laptops but then it's ok using USB-C port for external monitors.

    • Dogsrule on 16/07/2023 - 16:44

      Any idea whether the iGPU will be ok or get a bit hot if I hooked the laptop up to an external monitor for everyday browsing and not gaming?

      I've got this old clunker hooked up to a 4k monitor running perfectly. I'd be shocked if things have gone backwards since then.
