    Good price for the spec

    Please forgive my silly question, why gaming laptops always have a tacky look? Sometime for the specs they would be good office machines but no manager would go around with something that looks like a Klingon head

      I guess it's the same reason that people like RGB setup for their decked out gaming desktops.

    I bought one of these when they came out for $1499 on sale when my jb hi fi had them for $2200 lol (Same spec)
    Swapped out the x1 16gb 2666mhz ram for x2 8gb 2400mhz ram
    https://www.umart.com.au/Corsair-CMSX16GX4M2A2400C16-16GB--2…
    Ryzen 7 3750h can't use 2666mhz so 2400mhz is fine.
    Got between 10-60fps extra in certain games just be going dual channel. At this price with the ram swap and selling the single 16gb stick you have a very good laptop.
    If you are however able to get dual channel when you buy then even better! Hope this helps someone :)

    • ZeroHarmony on 26/09/2019 - 11:41

      Is there a reason why you want 2x8gb instead of just adding another 16gb stick? Have been wanting to go dual channel with mine since release but not sure which way to go

      • REEGZ on 26/09/2019 - 11:46
        +6

        I had the same thinking, I reasoned however that I'll never use more than 16gb unless I was rendering or doing graphic work. In which case this cpu isn't the way to go. 16gb is really the max it will need as this laptop is intended for value for money gaming. So by selling the single stick and buying dual channel ram it was a cheap upgrade and the preformance improvement was well worth it, in my case.
        This video helped in my decision:

          That makes a lot of sense. Guess I'm going with 2x8gb haha. Thanks for the helpful advice

      • AlphaGamma128 on 26/09/2019 - 20:49

        Theres also a high chance that adding another 16gb the two RAM modules won't go into dual channel. A 2x16gb kit would be very expensive and probably not useful for most people, including me. Plus you can save that 1x16gb 2666mhz for another laptop.

        • REEGZ on 26/09/2019 - 20:59

          Exactly, safer to buy a dual channel kit that will work together than two seperate ram sticks that may not

      Dayum, I am looking to buy dual channel ram kit too, especially after watching Jarrod's video and now seeing this comment. Same RAM kit I'm looking at too.

    The processor is equivalent to an I5 for those curious:
    https://www.notebookcheck.net/A-real-Core-i5-competitor-AMD-…

    The small number of peripheral ports — HDMI2, 2x USB-A 3.1, USB-A 2.1, LAN — is disappointing; the lack of USB-C/Thunderbolt amongst them is a deal breaker.

    • [Deactivated] on 26/09/2019 - 12:45

      Lack of usb c, yes. And also M.2 ssd not nvme.

      • Nukkels on 26/09/2019 - 13:38
        +1

        M.2 is the connector. NVMe is the controller. If it's an NVMe drive, it will almost certainly have an M.2 connector in a laptop.

        This often confuses people because SATA is both a connector and the controller. But you can have a drive with a SATA controller and an M.2 connector (these are typically 6 times slower than an NVMe drive though, despite looking almost identical).

      • Garbotoxin on 26/09/2019 - 13:41

        This is a PCIe SSD, M.2 is just the form factor.

    This, or the still cheap Y540 https://www.lenovo.com/au/en/laptops/legion-laptops/lenovo-l…

    • star chasm on 26/09/2019 - 13:48

      That's a 17 inch model tho. Not really directly comparable, even though it's a great deal.

      • Blitzfx on 26/09/2019 - 13:54

        It's in the $2k price range. Definitely not comparable

    • Garbotoxin on 26/09/2019 - 13:49

      The Y540 is great if you don't mind the weight and increase in size. It also comes with an Intel processor which is better in most gaming situations. The base 540 only has a 60Hz display though, and 8GBs ram instead of 16GB

  • nightsun91 on 26/09/2019 - 15:38

    I have Asus ROG one with gtx960m and I am wondering if I should get this one as update or wait for the upcoming cyber monday sales or winter sales? I wanna be able to play Cyberpunk 2077 decently and I don't think my old one will be able to.

    • Garbotoxin on 26/09/2019 - 15:45

      I reckon you should wait - Cyberpunk isn't due to be released for some time and there's bound to be other sales in the interim (Black Friday/Cyber Monday/XMAS comes to mind)

      • nightsun91 on 26/09/2019 - 17:21

        Thank you. I will just wait for other sales and see if there's any better deals.

  • stoj34 on 26/09/2019 - 16:15

    Does anyone know how long this laptop has been around? just wondering if its being cleared for a soon to be newer model…

  • dezaman on 26/09/2019 - 18:11

    I bought one july, runs gears of war 5 on high on 4k, reviews state that laptop coolers dont work because theres not enough vents underneath. had two problems with it, if you update your nvidia drivers before other drivers it has a tendency to freeze the screen till restart, i factory restored it and let the asus tool do the work and thats resolved. Second is since its ryzen, when you open a game using vulkan like no mans sky it doesnt load, so you need to disable the igpu, not a big deal, it is cheap plastic and gets dirty real quick, and it struggles 4k but still as good as xbox one x as the x lowers details, good laptop for price

    • Oofy Doofy on 13/10/2019 - 14:08

      It's only a 1080p screen. Why would you run 4k? It's not high powered enough for 4k gaming.

  • fredzcoolerz on 26/09/2019 - 19:07

    Which one is better? Lenovo Legion Y540 or this laptop?

    • AlphaGamma128 on 26/09/2019 - 20:36

      Y540, but I think it all depends on your budget.

      • fredzcoolerz on 26/09/2019 - 20:39

        Sadly Y540 has 60hz display instead of 144hz. Is that still ok? considering it has GPU GTX 1660ti?

        • AlphaGamma128 on 26/09/2019 - 20:44

          Depends how much you care about frames. It will definitely be helpful and nice for fast pace fps. Higher refresh rate is always recommended, especially for a decent GPU like this one. Especially with a far better CPU, you will be missing out on visible frames. But that means you can also crank up some graphics settings without worrying about higher than 60 fps.

  • Oofy Doofy on 27/09/2019 - 10:22

    I bought this exact model (there are several variations), secondhand (few months old) for $1100 with purchase paperwork etc. I can highly recommend this laptop.

    I had a few weird happenings (no big deal) until the latest 306 bios was released.

    Good tip posted earlier about changing out the ram. It's plenty fast enough, but faster is faster.

  • Oofy Doofy on 26/10/2019 - 13:35

    Windows update supplied by Asus bios/uefi 307 update has been released, with a heap of microcode improvements including the 3000 series turbo clock rates etc. As you may have read online, AMD made available the improvements and fixes for updates to be pushed through.

    Good times.
