For some one who is looking for a decent gaming laptop, this is a wise choice. A great price for a RTX2060 gaming laptop. Although it only have i5 instead of i7, you won’t have much frame loss when gaming. Also, memory and SSD are quite cheap these days, you can spend $150 to upgrade it to 16G/512SSD for a better gaming experience.

The only drawback is its display, it’s not 120hz.

Let’s make it ozbargined!

          Not smaller but more refined.

          The G7 just got a refreshed body while the G3 is still using an older body.

        • orly on 06/10/2019 - 00:55

          Just a general comment on the dimensions and weight of the G3 itself especially being 2.5kg was a deal breaker for me when I was considering it. I ended up getting a MSI PS63 which is 16mm thick and weighs 1.6kg and a large 82WHR battery.

              @bashar20: There were few discussion about it if you search ps63 you'll find them on the other thread

            • orly on 06/10/2019 - 11:36

              @bashar20: I got it for $1529 with the GTX 1050 Ti card 4GB, core i7, 512GB SSD. There are a few variations and cheaper ones which come with integrated graphics but for my use, this hit the sweet spot. Stacked with the incredible nearly 20% ebay gift cards and claiming TRS while I'm traveling overseas with a friend made it too good to pass up.

              Pros: weight, dimensions, portable, battery life, performance, track pad, aesthetics are very classy and looks professional, silent fans and cooling system

              Cons: speakers are really soft, graphics card isn't the best from a benchmark POV, other proper gaming laptops have better specs for the same price point (but none have the same form factor and battery life)

              • ar7ist on 06/10/2019 - 13:38

                @orly: When claiming TRS, are we allowed to bring the laptop back?

                  @ar7ist: You have an allowance of $900 per passenger if you want to bring it back without declaring it, however, as I'm traveling with a friend, the total is $1800 limit without needing to declare. If you declare it, then you'll need to repay the GST portion.

    What are people's thoughts on Razor Blade 15.6? A mates friend is moving back to China, 2 months old and said I could have it for 1k. It looks powerful but screen is only 60hz. They're 2.5k new, however it's a early 2019 model so I understand New stuff is always coming out.

    Specs:
    Intel Core i7-8750H 2.2GHz (9M Cache, up to 4.10 GHz) Six Core CPU, 15.6" FHD (1920 x 1080) 60Hz Display, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB Max-Q Design Video Card, 256GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD + 2TB (5400rpm) HDD, 16GB DDR4 SODIMM Memory

        • shiny1 on 07/10/2019 - 10:45

          60hz is normal for all laptops. A higher refresh rate panel commands a big premium. If you don't game, 60hz is absolutely fine. For 1k, you should jump on the blade now. It's a well built, beautiful and highly competent all rounder of a laptop and is usually the most expensive one because it ticks so many boxes with an A grade. Even if you do game, so what if it's 60hz? You got it for a grand. And even if you paid more, who cares? People on here want the best but pay only 7 bucks for it.

      Prior to getting this I've only used macbooks. This is louder than a macbook but still pretty quiet while idle. Loud when playing video games but the reviewers rated it as quieter than other laptops around this price range.

      It does have thermal throttling though and it gets hot so good to get a laptop cooling pad.

    2060 seems overkill for a 1080p 60Hz display. I guess somewhat "future proof" considering the low resolution/refresh rate. Or you can hook up a monitor to it.

    • FabMan on 06/10/2019 - 11:27
