This is awesome - was looking at the deal earlier and already basically sold; this was cream on the cake! Thanks OP, Order placed!

Oh also, I never heard the fans wind up. They were running, just very quiet. And it never got hot.

So I haven't done any bios fiddling yet, but ran a battery life test today with: - YouTube Earth flyaround video playing - Screen…

We received ours yesterday. The BIOS shows no fan control options, but it does have an option to "Undervolt" the CPU. Haven't looked into…

What have you noticed re: heating and fan noise so far?
06/01/2023 - 16:03
Interesting! Hopefully with a little bit of tweaking, I can get the same benefits in the NUC. We shall see!

Ah nice - I would've considered Macbook air if our school didn't explicitly say "No Macbooks" for BYOD! Hope it works out :-)

Yep I've had a look around on this as well, and others have said the same thing - fan ramp up is too aggressive for certain power…

This is an older review, but it quotes 450 nits for brightness, and speaks pretty favourably of the screen in general:…

Good luck!

And I've just gotten confirmation from the eBay store rep as well. Also confirmed it does indeed come with 1Tb HDD: "Hi, Thank your enquiry…

One other thing - and I didn't confirm this on the call, but - the CS rep said the product was the same as that listed on the Bing Lee…

I ended up going for this: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/749238 Bigger and heavier than originally planned, but all other boxes ticked…

Folks - I spoke to Bing Lee CS on the phone just now and they confirmed the eBay store details are an error in the listing. It's 12th Gen.…

I still can't quite wrap my head around Ryzen7 vs i5 (1240p) in terms of power consumption vs performance. One reply above strongly…

Hey brains trust, I'm keen for a laptop for my son to see him from Y9 to Y12 (damage pending!) and I'm hoping to grab a Boxing Day sale.…

I have my eye on the i5 version of the Inspiron - keen for others' thoughts! Seems a reasonable buy at $1049 from JB?

HN delivery came last Friday, so a week or so early! (apologies for doubting you, HN) Now to keep it hidden from the kids til Christmas.…

HN still taking orders... are they now quietly taking orders for units they know won't really be shipped in December?
12/11/2020 - 16:07
I just got a "we're sorry, your item is on backorder" email. Is that expected, given that it's for a future shipment? Hoping it doesn't…

Nice one, thanks for the tip. Hey how long did you wait for confirmation email? Still nothing... always makes me nervous.
12/11/2020 - 15:16
Whaaaat. I think I might have just scored one! Well, I've scored a charge from HN, hopefully that means I've scored a PS5 too. Awesome.…

Yeah if I can't get anything around the $300 mark (which is fair, it's not much money) I'll go S/H!

Just priced it up at $639.20 on the eBay store with the PDELLSAVE code...
26/01/2020 - 22:21
I just re-price-matched with OW, refund then repurchase. Good service!
16/01/2020 - 14:08
And OW still haven't caught up! That's another $90 off the price I paid if you price match. Nice find, wish I'd waited a couple of hours :-P

Due sometime in the first half of this year, so I hear!
