Not as good as the CRAZY deal for $994 on ebay during the EOFY's sale last month, but if you need one in a hurry this is going is good as it gets outside of a mid year sale.

Windows 10 Home 64
Intel Core i5-7300HQ Processor (6MB Cache, up to 3.50GHz) (Quad cores)
15.6" FHD IPS (1920x1080) AntiGlare, No Touch
8GB DDR4 2400MHz SODIMM
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050Ti 2Gb
128 GB Solid State Drive, SATA3
6 Cell Li-Ion Battery, 47Wh
Pointing Device -UltraNav (TrackPoint and ClickPad) without Fingerprint Reader

4 USB3 ports.

Not a lot of storage so you might want to get a 1TB spinner of your own to increase media storage. the 128GB SSD is a M.2 drive and can be upgraded as well, giving you the option of having SSD + HDD, or SSD + SSD.

    Do we ever get deals with quad core i7 CPUs, 16gb ram and at least a 1050ti for decent prices? Most of the time they don't seem as value as the i5 deals.

      Take a look at the Dell Inspiron 15-7000.

      Search for Metabox alpha. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/brand/metabox

      • BrewerHaHa on 28/07/2017 - 12:16

        I've seen some of these deals but the value between the i5 and i7 seems very different. This i5 1050ti has been under $1k, but i7 with a 1050ti and a 14-15.6 inch screen doesn't to come under $1300 even though the price difference between an i5 and i7 isn't that great. I've seen the metabox for $1299 which is great value but I was looking for something a bit different. Is it just me or have other people thought similarly?

        • Hellfire on 28/07/2017 - 13:48

          $300 in price difference would be justified. Extra RAM would be $100 and i7 is $150 more.

        • BrewerHaHa on 29/07/2017 - 01:05

          @Hellfire: there isn't extra ram though. it's still 8gb i believe and an i7 would be around $150 more, so why are they all 1.5k?

  • bluedufflecoat on 28/07/2017 - 11:43

    Is there an equivalent lappy (ideally i-something sort of chip) sort of around $500? My hubs won't let me buy anything so fancy eventhough it's so crazy good value.

    • scrimshaw on 28/07/2017 - 11:45

      No equivalent. There are only lower power Core i3 series around that sort of price.

      7300HQ is much more powerful, in fact benchmarks put it above my desktop Sandy Bridge i5.

      • bluedufflecoat on 28/07/2017 - 11:52

        if you see anything at core i3, can you point me to it? That might do? Thank you.

        • scrimshaw on 28/07/2017 - 11:59

          Here you go.
          Its really nothing special. 1366 x 768 display and 500GB drive, but it is $529.

          and here from Grays Online is a toshiba with Core i5, at $427 but it's a refurbished unit.

          seriously though, either spend more and get something with FHD and Core i3, or go the second hand route and buy a gently used Business laptop. Something like a Lenovo T-series on eBay with a FHD display.

        • bluedufflecoat on 28/07/2017 - 17:14

          @scrimshaw: thank you. Food for thought.

    • kapone on 28/07/2017 - 11:50

      You'd struggle to find a low end laptop with a full HD for that price, let alone something spec'd like this.

      If you need something capable of gaming, you can't get much better than this.

      • bluedufflecoat on 28/07/2017 - 11:52

        not a gamer, so that doesn't bother me. Wanting to use Bloomberg Terminal. :)

        • kapone on 28/07/2017 - 11:54

          For something like that I would definitely prioritise screen size and resolution (nothing less than Full HD, 1920x1080).

          You could probably get something good around the ~$800 mark if you're patient. You could also try the Dell outlet (they sell refurbs, returned laptops and cancelled orders)

      Why not this from the other day? https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/320868 for $825

      I think $500 is a disappointing price point, and would buy a $300 refurb instead at that level since they are all gonna be HD screens instead of FHD..

      • bluedufflecoat on 28/07/2017 - 17:15

        Yeah I really liked that one but my husband thinks that he as a programmer didn't spend so much on his hardware, that I shouldn't. Sigh.

        • [Deactivated] on 28/07/2017 - 23:59

          come on girl, he dont own you!

      i-dont think so.

  • Trishool on 28/07/2017 - 11:50

    This thing has a decent weight on it at 2.39KG!

      The power brick is pretty badass too… swing it around like a flail and you could knock someone out with it.

  • Unrvl on 28/07/2017 - 11:55

    pretty damn decent GPU imo for the price

  • Trishool on 28/07/2017 - 12:06

    I'd buy this if @tightarse could get a TA deal going on it to bring it closer to the $1K mark.

    • timps on 28/07/2017 - 12:28

      Cashrewards will be $65 or so on this.
      Brings you to 1060….Are you really holding out on this purchase over $60?

  • cheepo on 28/07/2017 - 12:28

    Just went and had a quick look at my parts list for a mini itx gaming rig I have been wanting to build now for a few months and according to my calculations, this is only a little over $150-$200 more using similar parts?

    Is the CPU and GPU that much different from their desktop equivalents?

    • scrimshaw on 28/07/2017 - 12:29

      that's a very apples to oranges comparison. Mini ITX desktops, are still desktops, and retain the modularity advantage over laptops. You cannot upgrade the laptop's processor or GPU very easily unless you have a reflow oven.

      Is the CPU and GPU that much different from their desktop equivalents?

      The GTX 1050 in this laptop is a basic 2GB model, and I think it performs around 10% less than it's desktop counterpart. It's pretty close in performance.

      The processor is not as good as a desktop i5, and if you consider Ryzen 5 hexa core as an alternative you can build a pretty fast desktop too for productivity purposes. You can't get Ryzen on a laptop.

      • cheepo on 28/07/2017 - 12:47

        I understand I'll be stuck with these specs if I chose this over the desktop but was more curious to know about performance (and power usage) if you were to chose this over a desktop with similar parts. I could save a lot more if I was to look at a full ATX build but really wanting something small and efficient.

        • scrimshaw on 28/07/2017 - 12:58

          I'm not sure if it's worthwhile considering overall system power usage.

          You'll have to research yourself and even calculate power draw of the displays / LCD monitors as well.

          It's not worth considering unless you somehow are running your equipment off a battery backup (like if you're using a uninterruptible power supply)

          if it's size that you're worried about then a high end gaming laptop is of course, the perfect option.

  • ice666 on 28/07/2017 - 12:55

    I thought 1050Ti only comes in 4Gb?

    • scrimshaw on 28/07/2017 - 12:56

      Nope, there is a 2GB and 4GB model. And then there's also a GTX 1050 non-TI edition, because Nvidia likes to play mind games with us.

  • Geryatric on 28/07/2017 - 17:12

    Would be good if DEALS code applied the % discount to the upgrade components. Sadly no
