    Hi Kris,

    on their website, they have a bonus Intel 240GB SSD, is that included with your deal?

    Hey Kris - Out of curiosity - if we find our existing Metaboxes requires a GPU upgrade, do you guys just sell the GPUs for us to DIY upgrade to the Pascals that you are now offering? I'm guessing the interface and design should be relatively the same..

        I've upgraded a number of Dells and HP's before with better video cards. They arent standard for sure, but comes on a separate daughterboards that are directly replaceable.

      This range of Metabox (Clevo) laptops have the GPUs soldered to the motherboard, they're not MXM. So basically, no, you can't.

      Hi again, I will confirm this with Metabox but usually it is just the higher spec models like the P750DM2-G, P775DM2-G and P870DM2-G that will allow the GFX card to be upgraded. And then the upgraded GFX card needs to have the same socket.
      The P650/670 models have a soldered to the motherboard GFX card so not possible to upgrade.
      Cheers

      • bchliu on 26/08/2016 - 14:28

        Thanks for confirming Kris.. My current config on the P670RE is still awesome. Was a nice to know though. :)

        Yuck, gfx cards dying is not uncommon (as far as computer faults go), particularly for dedicated graphics cards, having a soldered solution isn't something I would want to do with a gaming laptop (not with the number of gfx cards I've had die in laptops).

        Are those models all 17"+ machines, or is there a 15" machine that is MXM from Metabox?

        Also my last Metabox has no branding on the laptop, is it possible to get unbranded versions?

  • Tomika on 26/08/2016 - 07:49

      This is quite a top of the range config that match or beat probably 80% of desktop selling in the market. If an above-average desktop can handle it, this laptop will have no problem.

    • coprocessor8087 on 26/08/2016 - 08:23

      Will be hard to tell because, being a white-label laptop, pretty much everything is configurable, and depends on the bulk wholesale prices of various components at the moment when the machine is built.

      I have the previous P650RE model.
      Under general use, I don't hear the fans (3 in total). General use includes 2 browsers (IE & FF) with ~20 tabs, Outlook & Word 2016, and a media player (WMP or VLC).
      If I run something intensive like an antivirus scan, I can hear the fans on low.
      I don't game.

          I haven't really used the battery for extended periods as it's usually plugged in.

          I just unplugged the power and it says 93% 3 hours 3 mins remaining …that's with a 24" 1920x1200 external monitor at full brightness (laptop is about 3 months old).

          @beaver2233:

          I just got under 3 hours battery life with an old external monitor that won't dim.
          I'd guess that using the native FHD display at reduced brightness should get ~4 hours battery life.

  • dingdong555 on 26/08/2016 - 09:18

    Any 4k screen deals? What's the battery life like? (comparing to dell xps 15 4k here)

    • Store RepKong Computers @ Kong Computers on 26/08/2016 - 13:30

      At the moment we only have the Full HD screen special.
      The manufacturer says the below about the battery life.
      I am always skeptical about how they get these figures. Personally I would expect up to about 240 minutes with normal use and much much less if gaming (1-1.5 hrs).

      Power
      • Full Range AC adapter, AC in 100~240V, 50~60Hz, DC output 19V, 10.5A , 200W
      • Embedded 4 cells Polymer battery pack, 60WH
      • Battery life: 325 minutes (with UMA mode, 60WH Battery)

  • CarbonTwelve on 26/08/2016 - 09:19

    As good as this deal is, I'd still be recommending people go for the G-Sync model (P650RP-G), especially with a 1060 (rather than 1070). There are some games now that can't be played with all settings up at 60+fps (eg, Witcher 3), and I'm sure there'll be plenty more over the next couple of years, and if the system can't maintain 60fps then either you'll be playing at 30Hz with V-sync or you'll have tearing. Best go for a G-sync model so that the refresh rate will match whatever the GPU is capable of.

    Hi OP , just a bit curious , is it possible that you guys can put the OEM Windows on these ( that may cost $30 ) instead of asking the consumer to pay for full version $139 .

    I know the $139's license can be transferred and has its advantages etc , but some of us would just be happy to have the $100 savings instead of having a transferable full windows license .

    • CarbonTwelve on 26/08/2016 - 11:00
      +1

      The $139 licence from Metabox is the OEM version. You can buy it yourself from somewhere like MSY yourself if you like and it'll be essentially the same price.

      http://www.msy.com.au/Parts/PARTS.pdf

      OEM is $134, retail is $139.

      • otter-raptor on 26/08/2016 - 14:59

        Oh , I read a while back that the OEM pricing for Dell and HP is around $25-$30 depending on the Home or pro versions … If it is going to be $134 for OEM , I might as well buy an OEM copy for cheaper elsewhere and put it on …

        Thinking to get one of these during Christmas ( to avail few benefits from work that may make it cheaper for me )

  • Asherman on 26/08/2016 - 20:00

    Just want to double check before i hit buy on a p670rp-g. Yes not this ozbargained model (i want the 17" with the 6820hk cpu) but my question is valid for this machine too.
    The website says they can have 2x m.2 ssds - but only 1x 950pro nvme "due to size". i am aware that the 950pro cards are a longer than normal m.2s, but my question is, can i have a 950 pro and a normal size m.2 ssd, or just 1x950 pro and nothing else?

    this may be a silly question but it depends whether the m2 slots are side by side (ie take up a square space) or top and bottom (long and thin space).
    i am thinking buy the 512 sandisk x400 first and get the 950 pro later when i have saved up a bit more cash.

        makes me glad i asked. People here are good for bargains, but also a generally helpful community.

        looks like i might go with a sata ssd for now and grab a pcie ssd later on then.

          If you remove the default 240GB M.2 SSD (this precludes you from installing the 950 Pro), you save $100.

          You can then buy the 950 PRO 512GB M.2 NVMe for $375.20 (after 20% off eBay)
