      Hey Rep.. can you do a deal on the 17" ones of similar spec? Thinking of replacing my aging overheating HP Envy 17.

      I notice that you have EOFY discounts on the options too (eg. 16GB RAM and 480GB M2). Does these work with the special OZB deal?

        Just click on the "RAM" and "M.2 SSD1" customise options on the right of the P650RE webpage. The discount prices are there.

        At the moment this deal is only on the P650RE. I would have to confirm on Monday with Metabox about a 17" deal.

          I think overall, everyone has differing requirements for laptops and computing.
          All views above have valid points. It's just that customers are all different and we try to cater for as many people as possible. Obviously we can't cater for everyone as there are always customers that need something special and the market will change over time to accommodate this. So it's kinda cool that we get this sort of feedback. I know that Metabox read these posts as well :)

    Hi Kris,

    Can you please check and assist with following.

    Interested in upgrading to 32 GB Ram.

    My Question is

    1) which Brand of Ram you use.

    Further more when I compare Ram 2 X 16 . Can get for $199 from PC Gear(Corsair Vengeance LPX CMK32GX4M2A2400C14R 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 Red) while yours 32 GB Ram ( 2 X 16 GB) is $229 (pardon me if I am wrong)

    2) Whats difference between Premium & Platinum support in Warranty.

    For $119 you get (1 year of Platinum + 2 Years of Premium Support) , so I assume this is on TOP of 2 years Platinum (please explain , if I am confused)

    Thanks in advance.

    • Store RepKong Computers @ Kong Computers on 29/05/2016 - 16:14

      I have sent Mekalol a message. They emailed me also.
      The RAM is Kingston Hyper - X

      With the Platinum warranty, Metabox pay for pick-up and return delivery of the laptop during the warranty period if there is an issue with the laptop.
      Premium warranty is the same warranty except the customer pays for the collection of the laptop within the warranty period, but Metabox pay for the return of the laptop back to you. The DOA period is the first 14 days of ownership and Metabox have to pay for the pick-up and return within the DOA period no matter what warranty you have.

      Whichever warranty you select is the entire warranty that you get. You asked if the 1 year of Platinum + 2 Years of Premium Support is on top of the 2yr Platinum warranty and it is not. You would just get the 3 yrs in that case, not 5 yrs.

    Just wanted to say always a pleasure dealing with Kris from Kong computers. This laptop line is awesome for the money - I have an earlier version in the same shell (earlier processor) and one very similar to this model. Latest model is very quiet. Handles 2 external 23 inch monitors playing the games I play with ease and very easy on the power consumption generally.

      Thanks for the message, Ultimately I think that a Nvidia Quadro graphic card would be a better choice but they are much pricier.
      See here.
      http://www.kongcomputers.com/product-listing/workstations.as…

      As quoted by beoluch below, the CPU on this special is very powerful and would handle the processing power very well. The graphic card is specifically designed for gaming though and Nvidia GTX cards are a cheaper alternative to Quadro cards and CAN work as well as Quadro in some/most cases. Although they aren't OpenGL like the Quadro's are.
      I am a bit hesitant to 100% recommend going with a Nvidia GTX card over a Quadro card for your requirements as I'm sure there's many people on this forum who would differ their opinions on this.
      I just think a Nvidia GTX graphic card is a cheaper alternative to the more expensive Quadro cards :)

    I own a P650RE-G, this same laptop as P650RE but with G-Sync. I love it.

    I'll just name the top points of this laptop which make it stand out from the competition:

    1. Good price for a laptop with 970M graphics card.
    2. Well built. Relatively quiet laptop for a 970M. I don't notice the fans while playing games.
    3. Screen is nice and bright with wide viewing angles (not a cheap screen)
    4. One of a very few laptops with G-Sync available (Only P650RE-G)
    5. Can already utitilise the latest M.2 Samsung 950 Pro nvme SSD giving fastest SSD speeds.
    6. On top of the M.2 nvme SSD, it can fit two more additional sata SSDs. So can have 3 SSDs. (Can also do 4 SSDs, if you just use sata M.2 drives)
    7. Can take 4 sticks of RAM.

    Hope that helps someone.

        Good call. They currently don't have those specs listed on the manufacturers websites anymore which is a shame. I'll investigate.
        The older Metabox models were 72% gamut and up to 90% gamut on the higher spec models. I'm not sure at the moment on what the current ones are, but I'll check.

          Thanks Kris. The reason I ask is because I recently bought a new laptop which has a high gamut QHD screen and was surprised at the difference. In the future I don't think I could go back to a low gamut screen.

          That's a shame that Metabox don't list the specs. I think it would be in their interest as from what I can see they target professionals as well as gamers they could be interested in these type of things?

          @robertm:

          as a professional who likes to game, i am getting intrigued by recent metabox designs - it sounds like they arent as noisy and hot as they used to be. screen options abound which is great, and the prices arent too bad either.

          and best of all they dont come covered in ridiculous coloured lights. (MSI etc i am looking at you. i like keyboard backlight, but that is enough), some of us want to be able to take it to the office or job site and not remind people of new years eve.

          speaking of screen quality i notice the overview page says there is the option of a sharp igzo screen. sounds great, but it doesnt show up in the customise box - so maybe it really isn't an option! or is it? (though that may blow my budget)

          with this model, its only really the lack of usb3.1 or thunderbolt input that is holding me back from jumping on it already, so might wait and see if a 17 inch deal comes through. also a pity you can't seem to have the 6820hk and gsync.

        • Store RepKong Computers @ Kong Computers on 31/05/2016 - 14:17

          @Asherman:

          Ha ha agree with the coloured lights - not a good look sometimes :-)

          I noticed that igzo option before. Even though it was a big price increase over the standard screen (around $400 I think) I think that it may be [ have been now that the option was removed :-( ] worth it. The only way you would really know the difference is to see them side by side. Depends on how much you are on the laptop… when you use it every day spending a bit more on a special screen can be worth it. I think this may be the same Sharp IGZO panel that is in the DELL XPS 15 (with the 4K screen option) and it costs an extra $400 approx on that machine as well.

          Yeah I had a couple of graphic design and photography customers that were hot on the IGZO screen. They said it was worth it for them.

          I am still waiting on the updated RGB list from Metabox. I will post online once I receive it.

          Wow that's great if you could do that. Good on you Kris! I think it's great that we have a laptop supplier that is catering for the high end in Oz!

    Well this is a bit embarrassing everyone,
    My apologies for the site being down.
    I have tried to get a hold of my web developer that hosts the site and everything is down :(
    Luckily my email is with another host server.
    I'll see if I can extend the promotion by a day with Metabox to make up for this.

    Cheers

    OK, Finally up and running again :)
    Really sorry for the offline inconvenience.
    It was caused by my domain hosting resetting the Public hosting IP address.
    Should be up and running now.

    Cheers

    I see a lot of people "repaste" the CPU/GPU with IC Diamond. Is this recommended or does it void warranty?
    What, if anything, is wrong with the paste that Metabox use?

    • Store RepKong Computers @ Kong Computers on 02/06/2016 - 12:37

      Yes it will void the warranty if you touch the heat sinks, sorry.
      If there is an issue with the paste then I would contact Metabox (or us) if it is under the warranty period.
