      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

  • +1

    More expensive than my car 💀

    • +3

      Your car is too cheap

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

  • +1

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

  • 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

  • The more you buy, the more you pay..

  • cashreward & trs will be almost 1k

    • +4

      Itll also be your entire carryon limit.

  • +1

    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

      • 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.

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

  • +2

    Fake 5090

  • That's a good non-oled screen

  • so its M16 < X16 < 16 Area-51?

  • +2

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

    Would this one work?

    • +1
