I was looking for something for my kid during home school and was waiting for Ryzen 4000 for so long, now all the laptops are being released… 1 of the dimms is upgradeable, good laptop that can be used for school, media consumption and drawing device with pen while folded… Seems pretty cheap for gst+shipping included (with prime) as some deals have still been posting previous 3500/3700 gen ryzen for more expensive. Pen included.

    Nice screen or nah?

      Ozbargains favourite question. 45% ntsc and 250 nits (some reviews have it performing worse than that in reality) so not great but I think fine for the price.

      • SetsunaFSeiei on 16/08/2020 - 23:44

        yes not amazing, above numbers are pretty standard across the board at this price point, but acceptable for the price. Some manufacturers are still trying to shill 1366x768 at this price range. Spotted some new models of other manufacturers that were still a bit more expensive as well with 1366x768 still :—(

    How would warranty work?

      30 day Amazon warranty then cross fingers

      Asus have an international 1 year warranty that is transferable in the countries listed. Don't quote me I would confirm with Asus first though but I found this…

      • wisdomtooth on 17/08/2020 - 12:46

        The way I understand this is that the warranty on this computer bought in the US is only covered in the US, Canada and Mexico. No?

        • Joker042 on 17/08/2020 - 14:40

          if A and B are within coverage countries of ASUS
          Notebook International Warranty, such ASUS product is eligible for international
          warranty in country “B”

          It doesn't say it has to be in the same region.

  • incipient on 16/08/2020 - 21:04

    Ooo perfect! Just what i was after. Just need to check if it charges over usb c

      Can't find anywhere that it can. Dell has the 5000 Inspiron that offers that, and 512 GB of storage but does cost $1300+ with the pen.

    Think you should change title to Amazon US. Also looks like only 1 left in stock.

    • SetsunaFSeiei on 16/08/2020 - 21:42

        Bought one, expedited delivery 2/9/2020. Stock showed 1 before I ordered, remained as 1 after I ordered so I suspect it is built to order?

        Thanks OP for the post.

    Very nice. I'm enjoying my non-flip 15" version with 4700U and double RAM and storage. Great build quality, my only critique is no HDMI support on USB C.

    Might suggest this one you have shared for the wife.

  • BennyHe2018 on 16/08/2020 - 21:50

    8GB is not enough for Win 10 now. I opened 3~4 tabs of Chrome, one Outlook, one Word and a few PDFs and found that the memory went above 70% of a 8G machine. The RAM of a 5G phone is either equal or more than that of a laptop.

    • SetsunaFSeiei on 16/08/2020 - 21:54

      Correct, but remember its a budget laptop good for kids and students and priced accordingly, spend more money if you want more performance. Much better than anything else for the price remember its a 2 in 1. For studying/browsing you should be ok the OS wont be slow just when you start to open ram intensive apps which the OS can manage… I use an auto tab memory plugin in my browsers which works really well…

      Second RAM slot is upgradable but you will break dual channel.

      • shiny1 on 16/08/2020 - 22:44

        How does that work?

      • Nikkheii on 16/08/2020 - 23:18

        Hi. Just wondering where you got that source from. I was considering to purchase this laptop when there is Australian stock

        • SetsunaFSeiei on 16/08/2020 - 23:30

          Originally the same laptop was at newegg but the stock ran out yesterday, I just searched and this amazon post came up. This is very cheap and some other stores may pick it up soon…

          1 slot is soldered, the other is not. Also ASUS rep on Amazon US said RAM is upgradable but that may be talking about the Ryzen 7 4700U model.

      Use Firefox

        Yup love firefox + auto tab discard plugin. Leaps and bounds more efficient then chrome the king memory hog…

    • radissimo on 16/08/2020 - 22:52

      8 GB is enough for most users. Windows only uses about 3.5, and your example is a good example of a standard workload, you still had 30% headroom.

    • Void on 16/08/2020 - 23:22

      8GB is fine for me. I can run Photoshop with some Chrome tabs open with no issues.

    • lunchbox99 on 17/08/2020 - 08:07

      Windows like all modern OS aggressively caches free ram so unless you have actually run out of active (ie in use) ram, what's the problem?

      • Naigrabzo on 17/08/2020 - 08:20

        I like to run a minimum of 30 chrome tabs or occ up to 50. I didnt realise firefox is better.

      • SetsunaFSeiei on 17/08/2020 - 12:35

        This

    • Ryballs on 17/08/2020 - 11:04

      You still had 30% RAM left.. 8GB is fine for most people.

  • MuddyClear on 17/08/2020 - 01:09

    US adapter I’m guessing?

  • checkingthisout on 17/08/2020 - 06:40

    I got a Huawei magic book 16.1 16gb 512gb Ryzen 4800h delivered from China for $1141. They’re only $1041 aud in China. You can Get the 4600H for $940.

    • arminoxx on 17/08/2020 - 08:18

      May I ask where you ordered from?

    • checkingthisout on 17/08/2020 - 10:30

      Na I got it off JD.com and had a friend help ship it. Although it’s not hard to ask a service like pfcexpress.com to buy and send it. But I couldn’t find a similar spec laptop for under $2000 outside of China. That also wasn’t a massive gaming laptop. It replaced my 15” MacBook Pro. See ya Apple. I think about $1400 delivered by aliexpress.

      • SetsunaFSeiei on 17/08/2020 - 12:53

        You could do this with probably any product and sure its a valid method for those that are willing. I guess the people looking at this are students and parents with limited funds. I did not care when I was younger, but now the "ease of use" of having amazon with prime means, I order off of one website and as its actually fulfilled by amazon directly plus they deal with it end to end, also I would have no hassles returning something that may be dead on arrival…I just go to the local post office and give it back to them easy. Having to depends on a remote shipping company. It would have to be SUPER cheap for me to do something like that these days….

        • checkingthisout on 17/08/2020 - 13:40

          If I could have found the same on amazon with R4800H but it’s actually quite hard or same to near price as a MacBook Or tools 8 weeks to ship for Lenovo. It’s a half stop before “Apple Silicon” comes out. If it’s expensive. I’ll forget Apple again. If they’re competitive and fast I’ll be happy to come back. The Intel chips in these poorly thermodynamic designs by apple is shit and the fan never stops.

    How does this compare to the lenovo flex 14 that was posted a couple months ago? Looks quite similar with regards to 360 degree flip, pen and touchscreen. How does the build quality compare?

    • living4music on 17/08/2020 - 14:24

      I am about to post the same thing. Anyone can answer? Thanks

    • bassiveguitar on 17/08/2020 - 14:41

      I commented above that my 15" non-flip version is nicely built, the aesthetics look almost identical (other than different hinges and number pad).

      I was almost going to go the Lenovo Flex but read on a couple of reviews the keys got stuck which turned me off (particularly being US import).
