    You'll need that lol, I worked at a PC store years ago and the startrack driver had our laptop behind his seat… When they searched the truck and found it he said "oh, I must of accidently put it there"

    They didn't even fire him o.O

    Just got one with an extra 512GB SSD, upgraded to 1TB 7200rpm HDD and one 16GB of RAM (bit like my old G74SX which was $2200 6 years ago..) but obviously with this excellent processor and graphics card ended up around $1685 with free shipping a bonus. Fingers crossed these upgrades are worth it!

      Sorry to break it to you, but its not, you spent almost another 50% for very little benefit. You were better off buying a m2 yourself and adding it, then you would have the additional 1tb for storage.

      • Danthemanz on 04/12/2017 - 10:03

        He hardly would have saved 50÷ buying his own SSD….
        Sure he could have saved a little doing something me things himself, which not everyone wants to do.
        Otherwise he got a very good machine specd to what he needed with full warranty for overall a very good price.

        Congrats on the machine, I'm thinking of getting one myself to use at work, I've already got a Samsung 950 pro 512GB and 32GB of RAM to throw in it from my existing machine though ;)

        • Chem1stry on 04/12/2017 - 17:03

          The extra 500 came from 230 (256GB SSD), 80 (8-> 16 GB RAM) and 140 (Windows) - could've saved a few bucks but yeah I don't mind paying for it to be installed already

    Does this price/web price include the $100 off? Or is that in addition?

    Are there any details on the quality/ colour gamut of the 1080p panel?
    Im happy to look at other models, but im after a high-quality IPS 1080P panel in ~15".
    I cant use higher resolution due to scaling issues but most laptops these days seem to offer the good panels in the high res models :(

    • Store RepKong Computers @ Kong Computers on 05/12/2017 - 01:11

      The price includes the $100 off already. Normally $1279.
      Will have to get more info on the screen panels.

  • Fooah on 04/12/2017 - 11:02

    Looking at purchasing one today as a Salary Sacrifice - An invoice will be included when shipped?

    Also, tossing up between the $300 extra for the 4k screen, does anybody have any experience with this, worth the investment for video playback and light gaming?(Rocket League/Fortnite)

    What do you think, Kong? Is it worth placing a 4k screen on your lower end laptop? Cheers in advance.

    Nathan.

    • InsertName on 04/12/2017 - 11:09

      The 1050ti will struggle greatly at 4k, also the windows scaling will be terrible. I find windows hard enough to use at 4k on a 27" monitor let alone 15.6".

      • Fooah on 04/12/2017 - 14:16

        Thanks man, opted to go for the standard screen.

    • Store RepKong Computers @ Kong Computers on 05/12/2017 - 01:19

      Cheers Nathan, the order has been sorted. Thanks for purchasing.
      The good thing about using a 4K panel on this model is that the graphic card (GTX1050Ti) does have 4GB VRAM instead of 2GB on the GTX1050.
      I've had customers buy the 4K screen on the GTX1050 with 2GB VRAM and they have been happy with it.

      A friend of mine has just bought this same model (N850HK with GTX1050Ti, plus 4K panel). He'll use it for 4K GoPro editing. I'm keen to hear what he thinks of it.

      Cheers

    Just came here to say Metabox is a good brand if you're looking for top specs with no bloatware attached (unlike MSI, Asus etc etc).

    Kong computers is a great seller too, great service by Kris especially. They have better deals than some of the other top laptop manufacturers. Customization is pretty cool too.

  • aveeno bb on 04/12/2017 - 12:59

    There are handful of Dell 15 7000’s available at Dell Outlet around $1000 with 16gb ram and 256gb ssd plus 1tb hdd which I think is better than this deal. Cheaper than 1060 max q version which came out recently

  • [Deactivated] on 05/12/2017 - 10:22

    Insanely good value. Especially with 2 year warranty. (I don't trust anything with legally required minimums)
    Don't need a laptop right now, but I would have jumped at this 6 months ago if it had 16GB ram.
    And no Windows? Even better. ANY Linux straight of the box would be a very refreshing change.

    • Store RepKong Computers @ Kong Computers on 05/12/2017 - 10:36

      That's a shame that you don't need a laptop. I would have been happy to sell you one of these ;)
      Yeah the beauty of Metabox is that you can spec up the laptop to exactly the specs you want. No waste.
      You can upgrade to 16GB RAM (or 32GB RAM) from the customise menus on the right.

      Cheers
