Laptop needed today

Hi girlfriend wants a laptop today, she was going to buy from havey Norman. But I managed to stop that, thinking recommending this

https://www.umart.com.au/Asus-ROG-TUF15-6inch-FHD-120Hz-AMD-…

I know it's not an amazing deal but can't find much better at such short notice. are are in Brisbane, hoping someone can find something cheaper with similar specs. Thanks for any help !

  • Well first of all, I'd ask what are her needs? What is she planning to use the laptop for? Is she looking for something really light?

    • mostly light gaming and some word processing for TAFE, I don't think she needs an i7 or ryzen 7 probably an i3 with a 1050ti would be plenty

      Edit - I dont think the weight of it is a major issue

      Thanks for your reply

    That laptop has been under $1k a number of times now. It's an ok price if it's really that urgent. Much better than HN

    I think it's a reasonable deal

    Hey, girlfriend here. Its a Christmas present, so it is that urgent. Thanks to all for your advice!

  • Why did you leave it last minute

    • Not OP but I have a package which was supposed to arrive yesterday (as I ordered before the "Christmas cut off") but it has yet to be delivered. Perhaps they are in a similar situation.

    • Research was done by someone that had no idea about computers. This https://www.harveynorman.com.au/lenovo-ideapad-s145-2r-15-6-…
      was purchased for ~$750 and was going to be given to my partner tonight.

      I had a few hours to return the laptop and get something more suitable. Thank god havey Norman reduced the price.

  • Tbh, the best bang for your buck laptop in my opinion is a Metabox
