    Solid little device. Was looking at these but at the end of the day I couldn't find any concrete evidence these supported usb c input charging. If that's not critical t you, they look like a solid choice!

      I always look at that too as once you have had/used a laptop(s) capable of usb c charging which makes it much easier

      to charge if you have more than one charging place and multipple usb c chargers. For me the ability to charge it in car/van as well as

      powerbank is a must with my current lifestyle. Many of the Chromebooks and Lenovo laptops below $1000 have this feature,

      but for other brands need to usually look at $1000+ to get a usb c pd charge port.

      Ive got i5 model. Great device. Support USB C charging. Stylus is included. Very handy in tablet mode. Windows 11 tablet mode is very seemless.

      • ozhunter68 on 13/02/2022 - 08:57

        That's great to hear they have certain models with the USB C charging ability. Does it still have a barrel charging

        socket and charger (does not bother me as long as USB C works also)? Is the keyboard de-activated when in tablet mode

        as read in one review from JB the listed model does not. Was the i5 model more $$ than this,…..on sale or not?

    • Marsreis on 13/02/2022 - 11:03

      This comment is on JB's site:

      "Niggles: the USB-C port does NOT support DisplayPort video or charging. Unlike pretty much any other laptop on the market this laptop can only use the USB-C as a USB port, which means the integrated USB-C dock in my dock is useless. It also means that a second (or replacement) power supply has to come from ASUS."

      To me, that's a total deal-breaker :(

  • Deadalready on 12/02/2022 - 14:56

    When adding ram, do I need to worry about matching speeds and timing?

    • decc0 on 12/02/2022 - 15:00
      +4

      RAM isn't going to run at two different speeds, it'll run at the slower of the two at the speed allowed by the hardware.

      In other words, yes if you want to get the most out of it.

      Edit: with the OPs reply for reference, ideally you'd get a 16GB 3200mhz (with same pins obv) but you'll find 16GB 2666mhz will still work about 90% as good

    • shellshocked on 12/02/2022 - 15:03

      The RAM speeds are as follows for reference:

      8192 MB
      4 GB soldered + Samsung 4 GB DDR4-3200, 22-22-22-52, Dual-Channel

    No stock in WA.

    How they heck do you check stock auswide on their site?

    • scud70 on 12/02/2022 - 16:01

      Don't they have stock status at store level (matched to postcode) and a separate online stock level i.e. Shipped from warehouse?

        McGowan won't let the stock make it past Checkpoint Charlie.

    They had similar to this last November, bought one for my son for school.
    The tablet mode will be really good once he gets the hang of it.

    The trick is to get price beat at office work which is what I did

    • decc0 on 12/02/2022 - 15:12

      Officeworks don't stock this model? They've got an i5 11th gen for a similar price ($797), or the newer 5500U model.

        JB's one is touch screen!

          Oh damn didn't see OW one wasn't a touchscreen. So now there's no similar model at Officeworks at all

  • iamnotafish on 12/02/2022 - 16:12

    Pretty sure this is the one I bought last year and returned a couple of days later because the touchscreen was so poor. Could've been a defective item, but the touch only responded if you press and held for a while, rather than a simple tap. I really wanted to like it, but as it was for my child, a good touchscreen was essential.

  • Samsungnote10 on 12/02/2022 - 16:54

    none in vic as far as i can see, was available an hour ago

    you snooze you lose

    • holdenmg on 12/02/2022 - 17:16

      JB Hobart has stock

  • serpserpserp on 12/02/2022 - 18:52

    Brisbane have stock? This actually any good?

  • Samsungnote10 on 12/02/2022 - 19:58

    can anyone recommend another virtually identical spec/price machine from other brands/shops

    was in the process of buying whilst it sold out

    • Phoebus on 12/02/2022 - 20:06

      This is a better deal and a better laptop. Deal expired but you may have luck negotiating a similar price with Lenovo online.

      • Samsungnote10 on 12/02/2022 - 20:08

        that would be perfect but recipient of this gift wants a touch screen

        their usage is pretty basic and storage could be 128gb

          Only the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex or HP Envy X360, which are hard to find in this price range when on sale.

  • shoppe on 12/02/2022 - 20:23

    How many nits is the display?

    • [Deactivated] on 13/02/2022 - 01:53

      Not enough. 250 nits (peak)

  • Alpine58 on 13/02/2022 - 07:32

    Any one have to confirm if this supports Display Port through USB C? And how many external monitors?

    Been burned on my last purchase on a model # technicality.

    Looks like this thing isnt even available unless you live in TAS?

    • shellshocked on 13/02/2022 - 12:32

      A lot already sold out within 1hr of my OP yesterday.

  • DonkyWonky on 16/02/2022 - 10:03

    damn price is back at 1000… anyone have a receipt for a hopeful price match?

    • Samsungnote10 on 16/02/2022 - 10:24

      i thought stock might magically appear at the new price, but no good for VIC

  • Samsungnote10 on 17/02/2022 - 13:15

    it seems the market has a lot of the brands offering similar spec machines but with i3 processors

    how much performance difference is it likely to cause? for browsing/movie purposes?
