      That, or a kidney.

  • I'm seeing $7258?

    • The link opens up a "base" spec model; thee one referenced above has various upgrades/options selected

  • Price in title

    More expensive than my car 💀

    • +1

      Your car is too cheap

      • +1

        We can't all buy high-yield investments.

    • That’s what happens when your car’s still on a GT 710

  • +2

    If i dont wear my glasses. The price displays as $7.63490 Henceforth I shall buy this.

    • use student discount for 15% off if that helps…

    • Should have gone to SpecSavers!

  • What’s the battery life on these? All day?

    • +1

      yes all day if u have it plugged in. Otherwise dont expect much from a battery in a gaming laptop

    • Great for winter as a lap warmer

  • +1

    The more you buy, the more you pay..

  • cashreward & trs will be almost 1k

    • +4

      Itll also be your entire carryon limit.

    Can I fly after having this laptop?

  • Just for reference, I bought an HP Omen RTX 4090 Mobile for $3000 about 1.5 years ago, and before that I bought an Acer Predator RTX 3080 Mobile for $1800. Realised all throughout this that laptop throttling sucks so much I'm never going to buy another mobile gaming laptop UNLESS they actually improve their USB C thunderbolt 40/80 Gbps and expansion bandwidth connector technology for a portable GPU solution to hook up to a lightweight laptop.

    • My understanding is that this is the first 5090 laptop in the Australian market with Thunderbolt 5? (correct me if I'm wrong…) so should allow up to 80/120… that is once eGPUs finally catch up…

      The inherent problem with gaming laptops is the unresolvable tension between performance, portability and price. And it's not even a "pick any two" problem.

      This one has the peformance knob turned up to 11. But $8k is insane for a machine that has half the performance of a destop (that's a fraction of the price) and still can't run for more than an hour on battery.

      You can get much more reasonably priced options, with 95% of the functionality. Battery life willl always suck for gaming though

      • +1

        still can't run for more than an hour on battery

        Can't even run full power on battery.

    • what are you even referencing? Alienware never had 4090 laptops for that cheap, its always expensive.

      • For reference means to provide context for what I was commenting, and what I was commenting was that I personally wouldn't get a mobile gaming laptop simply because it's too weak for the price you pay compared to a desktop. The time I would consider a mobile gaming laptop is if eGPU support becomes way better so I can just buy a reasonably priced thin and lightweight laptop and then just hook up a full desktop GPU, rather than paying $7000 for a mobile GPU that's probably only 30% of the actual thing.

  • Why would anyone get this over the Omen Max or Legion Pro 7?

  • +3

    Fake 5090

  • That's a good non-oled screen

  • so its M16 < X16 < 16 Area-51?

  • +3

    Looking for a new laptop for my mother in law…. Mainly for browsing the internet and basic word-processing.

    Would this one work?

    • +2

      May need to upgrade the RAM sorry

      • +1

        wait for the m5 macbook air tbh

      • For mum in law not the laptop

    • macbook Air FTW

  • using Student Discount + 15% - still too pricy.

  • "Nice" price, especially considering they paired 5090 with a 2K screen.

  • I've been looking out for a gaming laptop in the $2500 range - hopefully there might be a good EOFY sale soon?
