hippyhippy on OMEN by HP 45L Gaming Desktop Ultra 9 285K + RTX 5090 32GB + 2x2TB SSD + 4X16GB DDR5 $6744.05 Delivered @ HP Education Store

32GB VRAM and the massive memory bus is honestly very nice for machine learning. I work in the space and am finishing of a compute heavy…

corgi-runner on [PS5] Final Fantasy VII Rebirth $35 + Delivery ($0 C&C) @ EB Games (Online Only)

Their servers must be getting slammed. I ended up squeezing an order in with a guest account. Took several tries though because it was…

Thanks for the heads up! The website is a buggy mess right now (feels like I'm trying to buy festival tickets with all the timeouts and…

The HX370 is a beastly CPU, atrocious full name aside. Shame I missed this deal but really waiting for Lenovo to stick it in their Legion…

congo on HP OMEN 17.3" QHD, 13th Gen i7, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, RTX 4080 Laptop $2692 Delivered @ HP eBay

Yeah fair enough. In that case you definitely just want max VRAM. 70B, even in 4bit, can't entirely fit in 24GB. You're best option is 2…

Guybrush57 on HP OMEN 17.3" QHD, 13th Gen i7, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, RTX 4080 Laptop $2692 Delivered @ HP eBay

Agreed. Honestly so close to pulling the trigger.

Llama 3.1 8B runs pretty great at 8bit quantisation, which only takes up 8gb VRAM. Are you dabbling in full fine tuning or LoRA weights?

washing on Acer Nitro V 16" FHD 165Hz Laptop: Ryzen 7 8845HS, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, RTX 4060 8GB $1497 + Delivery ($0 to Metro) @ Officeworks

Acer model has a significantly better processor.

Shaolinking on Galax GeForce RTX 4070 1-Click OC 2X 12GB GDDR6X Graphics Card $829 Delivered + Surcharge @ Centre Com

This is adequate for stable Diffusion 1.5. As with inferencing in almost all modern generative applications, great would be more VRAM.

freefall101 on Gamesir G8 Galileo Mobile Gaming Controller A$96.80 Delivered @ GameSir

I'd say the best by a fair margin is the Ayn Odin 2. Comes in a bit over $300 but gets you a top tier SOC, active cooling, nice screen,…

This is a solid deal for a very well recieved controller. Timed nicely with the GTA games popping up on Netflix. I reckon I'll pull the…

$4k Considering the card made up 3/4 of that on a good day it was honestly a steal.

Cheers for the update. Definitely keen if it goes ahead. The 4090 is an absolute unit and needing to upgrade my case (and psu) to handle it…

Any word on this? Great deal but workloads begging for that extra VRAM

Genuine humdinger. Pretty shattered I missed the 4090 deal. This is nearly the same price as just upgrading my current system to using one…

Looks like they jacked up the price of both by $100. Very cheeky. Maybe they werent anticipating demand.

Kogan has them up for preorder. Im gonna go ahead and pull the pin. Wish me luck. Need that OLED.…

I'm not convinced that it's shipping logistics. They could easily pass that cost onto the Aus customer base and it would come in at least…

It'd be even more refreshing if Valve decided to actually sell the product in this country. Unfortunately the ACCC guaranteeing a…
