The problem is that it's not really concise is it?

The main problem is the use of only USB C charging which limits the entire laptop to a max of 140W. The cooling can actually handle around…

Big L on Apple iPad 11" A16 Wi-Fi 128GB $484.99 Posted @ Costco (Membership Required)

I work at an Officeworks and they've told us recently to stop price matching Costco. They said it was a company wide decision so it won't…

I thought that the performance loss with TB4/USB4 is pretty massive. Are there any reasonably priced laptops with TB5 or Oculink?

I'm definitely aware of the privilege to go overseas for study and I do intend to make the most of it by travelling and seeing new sights…

No news of a 14 inch Legion this generation so far. I imagine with the Legion 5 now at 15.1 inches, there isn't much room for a 14 inch…

Cheaper by a few hundred compared to almost every other 5080 laptop. What price would you be consider a deal?

Obviously not the best value in terms of performance per dollar, but many people need the portability. Just different use cases

Unfortunately, it seems like the mark up on Zephyrus G laptops are particularly egregious here in Autralia

There is literally a single $4500 laptop/tablet with that chip for the foreseeable future
