    i5 11400H is a 6 core Tigerlake-H - this is actually a decent CPU. Better than the previous i7 10750H / 10850H. Benchmarks show that it is even better than the Ryzen 5 5600H.

    Goes without saying its significantly better than the 4 core i5 10300H in the prior Harvey Norman deals.

    Great value for a RTX 3060 laptop (95W TGP is on the lower end, but this is under $1.3k) and anyone buying should budget for another stick of 8gb DDR4 to get dual channel.

      Are you sure about that? The Acer website says for ports:

      USB Type-C, USB 3.2 Gen 2 (up to 10 Gbps), DisplayPort over USB-C, Thunderbolt 4, One USB 3.2 Gen 2, Two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, HDMI

      • Arigato on 06/08/2021 - 18:20

        I must be wrong. Thanks. Are you able to provide a link to where you copied that from?

        • jeefbeef on 07/08/2021 - 09:53

          It is well known that many laptops have DisplayPort over USB-C. Devices where the USB-C port is Thunderbolt 4 port will definitely have DisplayPort support via that port (as DisplayPort is included as one of the interfaces of the TB4 protocol).

          This means that any laptop with a Thunderbolt 4 USB-C port can output DisplayPort via that port.

          • SaberX on 07/08/2021 - 10:49

            @jeefbeef: I thought thunderbolt 3 even which I have only 2019 hp spectre is all compatible to output Audio, video and even charge all through the one port. Pretty much a jack of all ports. So in essence with a dock you could adapted to HDMI , display port , VGA etc.

            Or is display port a specific feature to be enabled over thunderbolt.

          • Arigato on 07/08/2021 - 11:01
            -1

            @jeefbeef: That's a long way to say nothing. Product page on bing Lee does not mention thunderbolt 4. I'll let you know once it arrives.

            • jeefbeef on 07/08/2021 - 11:12

              @Arigato: You ever think of looking at the actual manufacturer's website for the SKU like the others here did? https://online.acer.com.au/acer/store/gaming/gaming-laptops/…

              Ports USB Type-C, USB 3.2 Gen 2 (up to 10 Gbps), DisplayPort over USB-C, Thunderbolt 4, One USB 3.2 Gen 2, Two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, HDMI

              Store pages are generally not the most reliable for specs.

              • Arigato on 07/08/2021 - 11:26

                @jeefbeef: Thanks for the link. I found that too but the
                SKU doesn't match.
                NH.QDGSA.002 Vs NH.QDGSA.002-RG0-AS
                For all I know the added portion means that it has thunderbolt 4.

                Store page is what matters when you receive a laptop and realise you can't use it with an external QHD 144hz monitor

                • jeefbeef on 07/08/2021 - 12:09

                  @Arigato: It's literally the same SKU. Bing Lee just truncated the end of it. The shorter SKU does not exist.

                  Acer doesn't make 2 laptops identical in spec other than TB4 and neither does any OEM.

                  Regardless of your disbelief as to the existence of TB4 on a tigerlake-H product, it will have display port over USB 3.2 gen 2 regardless.

      you cant open the potential of i7 in games, even with i5 its shows 60-70% load of CPU in games on this laptop, and you can add 8Gb for like $60 so yeah its better but not sure is it worth it

    I bought mine abit 1 month ago at Harvey Norman for $1298 however my cpu is 10300H i5 which is slightly slower than this newer one. Yes I highly recommend it as it is best value for money.

    Only downside for me was battery life…. Only lasted 2hrs with 144 Hertz screen for normal office work. I manage to squeeze another 1hr setting screen refresh rate to 60hz. Overall I can't complain as it is good value for a gtx360.

    In Diablo 3 Im getting roughly 100fps on max resolution.

    Hope this helps others out there shopping around.

    • vladiMaN on 06/08/2021 - 20:02

      the battery may die fast like in 6month, definitely weak part of the laptop, better to set it to 80% for longer life and not use it much
      also my small advice set CPU to 3500 in win10 settings (need to open it via regedit) to avoid throttling in games, you haven't noticed any difference but prevent lags
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings\54533251-82be-4824-96c1-47b60b740d00\75b0ae3f-bce0-45a7-8c89-c9611c25e100 set «Attributes» to 2 and in power management you will see max CPU load 3500 is fine based on my experience due to overheating in some games

    • Lukas on 07/08/2021 - 00:32

      Huh I thought it would do heaps better than 100 FPS on a 10 year old game, my GTX 1060 laptop also pulls 100 dps for Diablo 3 and even my M1 Mackbook Air was getting well above 60 at max settings at whatever high resolution that has

  • OverburdenedWarrior on 06/08/2021 - 19:43

    Item is now showing "Check Availability", so I think it's safe to say there's no more to be had at the moment. The i7-11800H version with 16GB RAM is still available for $1599, as noted by Juiciness (https://www.binglee.com.au/acer-nh-qdgsa-001-nitro-5-noteboo…).

  • PMK on 07/08/2021 - 19:37

    Just bought this deal but i ended up with the $1599 deal with $272 2 year repair insurance.
    Ended up purchasing via afterpay as my CC is linked with qantas points and bing lee is 2 x 1 FF points.
    Cash rewards is 2.8% cashback if anyone decides to go for the deal. $50 rebate via cash rewards. So makes it $1550 for or $1239 for this one.

    Reason for the 1599 for me:
    1. $1299 OOS :(
    2. 16GB Ram upgradable to 16GB x 2 Ram (32GB) opposed to this one which is 8GB x 2 slots only (is upgradable to 2x16gb) If i decide to in the future.
    +16GB RAM ($130 extra but cheaper in future when if i do)
    3. $1599 11800H VS $1299 11370H processor. Both better each to their own.

    Also ENTER20 is the best code there. I've got HONEY and it showed that as best.

    Great value laptop for a 3060 GPU. Also hoping if anything happens in 2 years it'll be exxy to replace and hope they give me a later one if anything happens haha.

    Thanks OZB peeps!

  • Bshank on 10/08/2021 - 19:04

    Yes also the ram that comes with the laptop is 1rx16 8gb, which is considered very slow so of anyone bought this laptop should consider swapping out the ram for a new pair of ram which will boost the performance of the laptop by alot.

  • Geese on 11/08/2021 - 13:48

    Anyone own the i7 11800h 16gb variant already?

    Is the ram x8 or x16? Hoping the i7 variant wasn't paired with x16 ram to save a couple bucks.

    Cheers!
