  You have to lower settings and resolution to get anything current gen to run acceptably on an MX150 (Warning: probably NSFW violence since it's videogames)
  But it's okay if you're not expecting too much. Should run last gen and less demanding current gen games well though.

  Huh? I'm not sure the rest of the comments in this thread have properly considered the actual specs of this laptop.
  
  The MX150 GPU is essentially the same as a desktop GT 1030. Not a powerhouse by any means but can easily run any e-sports title on high/ultra at 60+ fps. AAA titles if you turn down the graphics resolution can be run smoothly as well. Leaps and bounds better than integrated graphics.
  
  It actually has slightly better performance compared to a Maxwell GTX 850M / 950M, which were both used in fully fledged (albeit budget orientated) gaming laptops (those in the $1.2k to $1.4k price range) all the way up until Pascal Mobile chips were released in 2016.
  
  It's obviously better to get a dedicated desktop for pure gaming but if you're looking for a light, general purpose laptop which can also run some games at a pinch, you can't go wrong with a proper quad core i5 and the MX150.

  You can have a look here, specifically this video for gaming performance. Reviewer's conclusion was that it can run most things on 1080p low settings at playable frame rates.

      @sky blu: yes that’s the one. Bought when they first came out.
    - sky blu on 30/01/2018 - 12:19
      
      @Kiato: That's a good price I think. Did that include the 10% GST?
    - Kiato on 30/01/2018 - 14:04
      
      @sky blu:
      
      Yes it included the gst hit. But as I said it was just after they came out so not to bad of a price. It replaced my mac book pro ( I got a i7 version aswell a month ago but yet to use it). Added a second m.2 and now it’s my main work laptop. These are well worth the money, and look great. Functionality is good once you reinstall windows. And I’ve not had a single issue. Updating drivers makes the m.2 drivers a lot faster than they are from the factory though.

      @Kiato: how much Tax did u have to shell out for the i7 model. Am planning on going for the i7 if it sounds resonable
    - sky blu on 30/01/2018 - 16:17
      
      @navster: He got the i5. He said yes to my comment.
      
      Using Quick Maffs he prob got it for around $950 USD shipped before the 10% tax.
    - Kiato on 31/01/2018 - 00:33
      
      [@sky blu](/comment/5586489/
      
      Actually you are both right. I have the i5 16 gig version which I’ve been using for a good while now and I have the i7 16gig variant but it’s new still in the box.
      
      Yes tax was 10% and it cost about 1420$ total after tax and shipping for the i7.
    - sky blu on 09/02/2018 - 00:11
      
      @Kiato: Why did you get the i7 too? If compared between the (2) I think it is worth it to spend an extra $120 for the i7.
      
      The price on this deal is pretty sweet then.

Not sure how the specs of this laptop compare to a similar priced dell or lenovo locally - but how is the operating system and installed software - i mean I don't want to be paranoid, but being a chinese supplier, have there been any reports of rigged laptops? I wish it weren't true but obviously with some of the chinese phones we saw some of the stuff preloaded on phones - for those of us not tech savvy to remove this it would be great to get some surety.

    i do, although unless the mi notebook air comes with the 8th gen CPUs then i dont really have too much of a choice, do i :)
    
    if the air was available for this price with an 8th gen i5 in it then i would be very excited indeed :)

  Appears to be DHL from the shipping information I've received.

    Same. Even though its advertised as "Expedited Express (3 - 6 business days)", it took 6 business days just to process my order. I then got an email to say it would be sent via "Postal Service that usually takes 14-28 business days"….

I bought the i7 model and I have a 250 tax cost I need to pay for before I get the laptop. Is this normal - did other people get this?
Additionally I was also charged for shipping…
- jefftran91 on 15/02/2018 - 20:45
  
  Had the exact same thing happen to me today. But with the i5 model which only cost me $992 AUD. Are you going to pay it, or have it sent back for a refund?
  - dav123 on 16/02/2018 - 07:53
    
    Hi mate - I decided to pay it because I didn't want to risk having any complications with refunding plus the laptop is really good even if it is an extra 250…
    Additionally uni is about to start and didn't want to go through the trouble of getting another whole new laptop again…
    
    People thinking of buying it now just be aware it will cost an extra 300 (250 ish for tax and 50+ for delivery/insurance!)
    - jefftran91 on 16/02/2018 - 12:02
      
      I have to agree. I ended up paying it too. Although to their credit, LiTB offered me $90USD (half the customs tax) in compensation in store credit. They had no obligation to reimburse me, considering the payment does not go to them at all.
      
      Anyway enjoy your new device! Hopefully I will receive mine Monday :)

      @jefftran91: oh I didn't expect "the other charges" - that is scary.
      
      Can I ask where did the "estimated value" come from? I thought if the goods itself is less than $1000 AUD (but invoive is over $1K including shipping) then the import GST would not have applied?
    - dom on 19/02/2018 - 20:35

      @sky blu: It's based on the AUD value on the date of export. So if they took a week to ship it and the exchange rate dropped (like it did here) you get slugged.
    - sky blu on 19/02/2018 - 20:58
      
      @dom: Thanks. So to reiterate, if the value of goods is less than the equivalent $1,000 in AUD, there will be no duty payable even if the invoice value brings it over the threshold?
