      Yup also looking for an XPS13 equivalent laptop!

        Ew, I contract for Dell. XPS are the overheating kings. Terrible thermal design which hasn't changed in years, I wouldn't buy one of these machines.

        • G Wok on 11/09/2019 - 18:48

          What would you recommend for a similar product? Looking for an ultrabook with basic gaming capability

          I read the batteries can overheat and Dell were pretty ordinary about warranty claims.

          • Kill Joy on 12/09/2019 - 08:14

            @G Wok: Yeah dell acknowledged the swollen batteries as a recall issue, but refuse to RMA my XPS 15 just out of warranty, then on top of that wanted almost $500 to replace the battery anyway. Terrible device and service.

            • G Wok on 12/09/2019 - 19:41

              @Kill Joy: That sucks mate, suffice to say you're off dell?

              • Kill Joy on 13/09/2019 - 09:30

                @G Wok: Yep, they've lost me and probably everyone in my circle since I am the PC builder for my friends and family.

            • Gorian4 on 12/09/2019 - 20:18

              @Kill Joy: If it's a recall issue, you could probably easily get it replaced under 'Australian Consumer Law'. Aren't laptops supposed to last something like 3-4 years even if out of warranty

              • Kill Joy on 13/09/2019 - 09:29

                @Gorian4: Yep, I escalated it but they still said no. So I've reported them to ACCC - will see what happens.

      Yes, X Carbon would be great!

    • Robbo14 on 11/09/2019 - 18:42

      T Series would be awesome

    • Bedgrub on 12/09/2019 - 07:05

      Wait until the 10th gen Intel CPUs are mainstreamed - they’re already being seen in the XPX range. Development of the next X and T models with these parts is probably in the final stages, which means they’ll be slashing prices strategically across the current lines in the next four or so weeks.

      They usually do ‘early adopter’ deals for new laptops on the first couple of weeks after release.

      • sghetti on 12/09/2019 - 10:00

        Nah best to wait for the 11th gen, will be much better. But once we get there it’ll be better to wait for the 12th gen, they’ll be even better!

        • IsTops on 12/09/2019 - 20:27

          would you recommend waiting for the i10 13th gen?

    How much extra for 16gb RAM and 512gb ssd?

  • NVidia Sucks on 11/09/2019 - 16:18

      17" vs 15". I'd say this is a very good deal.

        wats the diff between these 2 apart from a larger screen

        • corbz on 11/09/2019 - 17:51
          +5

          You're getting 28% more screen real estate for $100 extra. That's the difference.

          Why does this make it not a good deal? Do you expect 70" televisions to be the same price as smaller ones with the same specs?

          • SSJX on 11/09/2019 - 19:55
            +10

            @corbz: The other deal (15.6") is $100 less, but has a 512Gb Nvme SSD, 16Gb RAM and Win10 Pro compared to this deal that only has 256Gb, 8Gb RAM and Win10 Home.

              +1

              @SSJX: Ah okay. I was wrong about the screen being the only difference. I wasn't sure about the exact deal, just going by what was said above.

          • dukeGR4 on 12/09/2019 - 02:04

            @corbz: at the expense of weight and size…

              @dukeGR4: The is one you can, MSI gf75. Only 2.3kgs without power brick.

              • dukeGR4 on 12/09/2019 - 13:30

                @CyberMurning: surely it has to be bigger than the 15 inch. 15 inch could barely fit on the tray table in lecture halls

    17.3"! Desktop replacement territory!
    Grab a 1TB or 2TB Nvme SSD from Futu + second 8GB stick of RAM and it'll be a very nice gaming machine (Games take a lot of space..)

    • animal on 11/09/2019 - 17:50

      Which one will you use more? I personally don't mind spending a bit more on a good phone as I use it more often than my home laptop and so on.
      That's how I justify paying so much for an iPhone anyway :-)

      • daryar daryar on 13/09/2019 - 19:38

        Of course, I agree with you. The value is purely subjective. I meant it more as a joke. :)

  • sauce2k6 on 11/09/2019 - 17:49

    any deals that come with Caviar?

  • Blitzfx on 11/09/2019 - 18:02

    Wow this is a pretty good deal for 17". But I can't justify $1500 on a gaming laptop. Would be nice to see other deals on other models around the $1k mark

    • Sean8802 on 11/09/2019 - 18:48

      Then it will be a crappy machine. Gaming machines have always cost a lot. The mid range Alienware are 2500+. A good portable laptop obviously not made for gaming will set you back at least $1500. Gaming machines always cost more as they do more then those types of machines.

      • Blitzfx on 11/09/2019 - 21:55

        I don't mind. I paid $700 for a 15.6" , some 4-core amd, gtx 950 few years ago. Still using it to this day.
        If it costs more, then I would rather forfeit the portability and start looking at a new Desktop PC

        • Gorian4 on 11/09/2019 - 22:30

          Neat, if you're not moving, a desktop will serve you much better considering most of the Graphics Cards suffer a 25% performance drop when they're re-designed for Mobile Applications such as laptops.

            @Gorian4: Yeah, and the upgrade ability for new GPUs, extra HDDs etc.
            But at the end of the day, small form factor and portability is a luxury I'm happy to give up on for better value for $

  • Riczter on 11/09/2019 - 18:39

    Whats the battery life like on these?
    Edit: 57Wh - Up to 5 hours. I would have thought a larger chassis size would allow them to squeeze in a larger battery… :[

    • Sean8802 on 11/09/2019 - 18:49

      When gaming very doubtful you'll get 5hrs, maybe 3hrs. Check online for reviews.

    lenovo: almost $500 more, better proc, better gpu, 0.5 kg heavier bigger unit
    msi: bigger ssd, slimmer lighter, better battery life

    lenovo wins?

    8gb of ram in a descent i7 'gaming' laptop… what is this, 2016?

    • mgryder on 13/09/2019 - 11:31

      Yeah its a bit of an odd spec as 256GB is also very light on for a gaming laptop and lets face it who wants to have anything to do with regular HDD's unless you are video editing, downloading heaps as they are so slow.

      Fortunately, ddr4 is pretty reasonable these days and a few 20% codes on ebay around to upgrade storage and RAM which makes it a a very nice laptop well under 2K.

      • MrFrugalSpend on 13/09/2019 - 15:01

        true and both are so cheap when you are lenovo and buying them in bulk… then again, its probably a ploy to get people interested then get the upgrade $s

  • mgryder on 13/09/2019 - 10:33

    Just a question re delivery on this item, is it 3-4 weeks or within 2 days? I assume since it's as/is its after the deal expires?

    This looks like a great deal with the addition of another 8gb 2666 stick ($53.52) and whatever HDD you go for..I recently purchased a 1TB MB for under $160 for my new desktop and it's awesome as 256isn't the best but will go great in my mac air for 2x storage boost.
