Really depends what you're using it for. A traditional PC with a graphics card like this one will be much better for gaming and certain…

Thanks OP, picked one up for my ITX system

> We are very much witnessing the diminishing returns of electronics advancements. Ada was actually an above average gen-on-gen advancement…

[RT performance averages just about 10% better](https://www.techpowerup.com/review/amd-radeon-rx-7800-xt/34.html). More impactful than the…

Not a bad price. One the other hand, the 6800XT was available for $760 delivered in mid 2022, and the 7800XT performs within a few…

Yeah, I wouldn't be in a rush to upgrade from a 3080. This kind of pricing is the new norm, unfortunately. Hopefully Intel can upset the…

Not particularly in terms of value. The TI Super is around 30% more for [10-15% better performance on average at…

With the unlocked memory clocks it is [marginally faster on average](https://youtu.be/q5tbCbm1IYM), so if you can find it for the same…

All time low. Great value card for 1440p. More than 10 available at time of posting. Also [PNY 4070 non-super for $832, or $812 with…

AMD has mentioned strix/strix halo launch "later this year", so that (or a similar customised chip) is be a possibility for a performance…

Well the price isn't the same, the Galax is $100 cheaper. Assuming you live in Adelaide at least, OOS everywhere else

> 5hrs a day for five years Sounds a bit high to be representative. How much MAFS can you watch...

2 heatpipes sounds a bit rough for a 14700

Yeah, [such devices do exist](https://psref.lenovo.com/Product/Yoga/Yoga_Pro_7_14APH8) but just aren't stocked in Australia for some…

Another factor is that the 6 will no longer receive full software support from October, only security patches until October 2026. The 7…

They're ready to go out of the box with Linux. If you want to use windows you'll have to install it yourself - not a difficult task, see…

I think you'd be lucky to receive any kind of OLED panel for that price. Description says "Type: LCD"

The 6500 is a little faster, but uses 10x the power to get there (65W vs 6W). Idle power consumption will be closer between the two but the…

Agreed, most sub 10L cases should fit in a regular backpack. I've flown several times with an 8.4L case, fits well with space for a 60%…

The only change for the 8840U is an upgraded NPU, which is irrelevant for gaming. Otherwise it's exactly the same as the 7840U.

It's pretty misleading to say AMD "have not fixed" poor power efficiency, quoting launch day numbers, while ignoring various patches which…

In Cinebench R23 the 12650H has around 70% faster multithread and 50% faster single thread than the 5500U per Notebookcheck median results,…

Good luck finding a laptop of equivalent performance for $530

This would work fine. I use a spare ssd in a cheap amazon enclosure for a similar purpose, 10 gbps is plenty for occasional backups.

Nice deal. I would probably wait to see where 4070 prices stabilise following the recent releases -- the pattern with ada has been heavy…

Good device, not a great price. I bought the same spec 6 months ago from Lenovo edu store for around $1200 including cashback. For those…

Yes, plenty. Gaming power draw is around 200w, and a 5600 will be well under 100w

> not enough CPU for Transcoding 4k It has qsv hardware acceleration, which shouldn't have an issue with transcoding supported formats.

Much better in what way? They're very similar cards in performance, although that still makes the 7800XT the better value of the two for…

Not bad. The boxing day techfast system with a 7500f/4070ti for [$1788 + delivery](https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/822657) was better…
