      It's a discontinued model so RRP is irrelevant. Cheapest it's been prior was $1999 but sold out and replaced with the 240Hz model.

        except its not actually max-p its only 130w, not blaming it on you, OP or the amazon listing, its gigabyte misleading customers with their 'max-p' branding.

          130W is correct for Max-P is it not? It's not like it's supposed to be the full TDP of the desktop chip

            -1

            @deanylev: no because full powered 3070 laptop gets 140w. as opposed to what gigabyte is claiming.

    • 1192291 on 15/05/2022 - 21:31

      what is the difference between 3070p and 3070?

      • Brrrrt on 16/05/2022 - 17:50

        its not an official designation, some manufacturers use it to claim its 'max powered'.

        but in this case it is not, since max powered 3070 laptop chips can take up to 140w (125w+15wDB), while the gigabyte model can only take 130w (115w+15w)

        if i have to say this is borderline false advertising.

    Once you go 17 inch it is hard to go back ;). Tbh this has amazing specs but only 15 inches for a dedicated gaming beast is a dealbreaker. Would hate to waste 300hz and use an external monitor.

    Pretty excellent deal otherwise

    • FireRunner on 15/05/2022 - 21:10

      Really comes down to preference. Recently got a Razer Blade Pro 17. The bigger screen is appreciated but the larger size does impact portability. If I were to lug it around daily, I’d go 15” (or even 14”) but as a desktop replacement 17” is the preference

      • shabaka on 16/05/2022 - 21:34

        yep there's no one size fits all here

        17 is good for desktop replacement, 14 is good for portability, but also can work for people who plug them in to a monitor for gaming

        in my case I really like the flexibility of being able to deploy a workplace/gaming rig with little to no compromise in 2 minutes anywhere I go, so 17 inch is the way to go for me. it's so natural for me that I even don't consider 16" or smaller models anymore. for gaming / productivity they just don't exist as far as I am concerned

        I had a few 15 inchers out of curiosity, and even a 16 incher, but nah, all of them feel cramped

        if I know that I won't need raw computing power or don't plan to game, I take a tiny Lenovo Duet (chromebook slash tablet). everything can be done either in chrome browser or in an android app. even more portable than any laptop setup possible. also fantastic for media consumption

      I know what you mean - I stopped buying laptops (although work still gives us 15.6" things) after my HP 18" lappie. Same with desktop monitors…

  • shabaka on 15/05/2022 - 19:18

    I love my Aorus 17g. quality is much higher than I anticipated. and that's coming from someone who had a Dell, an Acer, a Razer 17 Pro, HP Omen, Gigabyte A5, Kraken X15 etc. in the past 12 months

    also last but not least, Aorus is made in free Taiwan, as opposed to mainland China

    • brotherfranciz on 15/05/2022 - 23:51

      Yikes, 7+ laptops in 12 months?! Did I read that correctly? Are you a reviewer (or other job that requires you to change/use multiple laptops so often)?

      • shabaka on 16/05/2022 - 13:47
        +2

        well I am a laptop technician, but in this case a lot of these units were returned due to issues

        Omen 16 was crashing quite predictably after 20 minutes of gaming, AX5 had a problem with its 240hz panel, Razer had issues with flickering and audio static, Acer was sold on, Metabox was great but sold on, Dell was badly overheating and went right back, same thing plus other annoying issues happened to Kraken X15

        bumpy ride, eh

        I should probably make reviews but can't be bothered I guess

          • shabaka on 18/05/2022 - 18:27

            @Pusheencat: glad I could help

            if I didn't need a wider color coverage on the built in panel, I would have probably kept mine

            good machine for what it cost

            • Pusheencat on 19/05/2022 - 00:29

              @shabaka: What's your opinion on the laptop market? I'm looking to upgrade from my Acer Nitro 5 3060 so that I can max out my settings at 1440p (I use an external monitor). I hear a new gen of graphics cards are coming out and that will drop the price of this gen of laptops. Is my Nitro easy to sell, should I wait for the new GPUs to push down laptop prices?

              • shabaka on 19/05/2022 - 09:23
                +1

                @Pusheencat: yes, nitro should be easy to sell, 3060 is your main card

                sell now, pick something up closer to eofy

                what's your budget? to max out 1440p you will need a 3070

                • Pusheencat on 19/05/2022 - 16:26

                  @shabaka: Not sure about budget, just going to lurk in OzB and wait for a good laptop with cheerful comments (also hope stock doesn't run out first).

                  Looking at the recent deals, I think aiming for EOFY in mid-late June means I'll be spending ~$1800. No need for 17" since I'm using an external monitor. What do you think of laptops with a 3080? Those don't seem to show up on OzB often and the jump in price from 3070 to 3080 is a lot.

                  Looking through past deals -

                  https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/688332 - Razer Blade 14 for $3399
                  https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/684761 - HP Omen 17.3 for $2579

                  Also read your comment on questionable QC and CS on the HP. So I guess it's going to be ~$3000 for a decent 3080? Going to need to think hard about whether max settings are worth that much.

                  • shabaka on 19/05/2022 - 17:17
                    +1

                    @Pusheencat: to be honest, the jump between 3070 and 3080 on mobile platform isn't vast. it's almost negligible

                    you're better off getting a well designed 3070 rather than a 3080 based system with cut corners, if your budget is fixed

                    for example there was a refurb Gigabyte Aorus with 3080 for roughly $2150 in the last batch of refurb at JW, and it disappeared quickly, but that 3080 was 100w TGP and a higher powered 3070 would beat that

                    3080 sounds fantastic, but there isn't much improvement over a 3070

                    so if it was my money I would go for a 3070. which I did

                    watch out maybe units with 30x0 refresh will get widespread by EOFY (3070 Ti, 3080 Ti), and non-refresh models might drop in price (3070 non-Ti), so prices might change more

                    • Pusheencat on 19/05/2022 - 22:33

                      @shabaka: Solid advice on 3070 vs 3080 GPU, probably nothing worth ~$500-1000 difference in price. I'll be watching the EOFY deals. Thank you, my man

                        @Pusheencat: if you have access to Education pricing (any email account ending in edu.au will do), HP have an Omen 16 with good 144hz panel and Ryzen 7 / 3070 for $2399 which isn't too bad

                        I liked the design of Omen 16 I had, but my unit was crashing consistently after 20 minutes of gaming, I just got unlucky. if not for that, I would have kept it

                        https://www.hp.com/au-en/shop/student/omen-by-hp-laptop-16-c…

                        my only concern was 4 zone RGB keyboard at this price point. I would love to see a per key RGB and mechanical at this price. but at least it has a metal build

                        also this thing comes down to $2140 with ebay plus

                        https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/325103116614

                        Dell G15 5520 with 3070 Ti and a good panel

                        but it's a plastic build, and only one storage slot. but DDR5 memory and 12th gen Intel. also it might run hot, like Dells tend to, but if you intend to run stationary on external monitor, cooling can be enhanced with cooling pad

      L5P is great, but depends on personal preference

      e.g. I don't want a QHD panel in my gaming laptops, FHD is plenty. so I wouldn't buy L5P. also, L5P comes with 8 week lead time. also no per key RGB. and display isn't 300hz

      so depending on what's important for you, make an educated choice

      • meong on 15/05/2022 - 21:33

    Would you notice a difference between 300 hz and 240hz?
    Also no comment on either variant around brightness.

    • ATangk on 15/05/2022 - 21:39

      no. Your battery might though.

    • shabaka on 15/05/2022 - 21:55
      +2

      in daily life? not really

      in gaming it might come in handy just because 300hz panel can also run at 240hz, and that gives you a wider choice of divisors

      150 - 100 - 75 - 60 - 50 for 300
      120 - 80 - 60 - 48 for 240

      so depending on the game, you could choose to limit frames to one of these, and forget about vsync

      but seriously even that argument is drawn out. 300 vs 240 still usable divisors on both sides. only relevant for eSports, and even there 300-240-150-120 doesn't really matter, you need to have inhuman reaction to see the difference

      • Agret on 16/05/2022 - 02:33

        In terms of display quality there is probably some noticable differences. I imagine they had to cut corners to get it refreshing at 300hz. Maybe the brightness or the color quality.

        • shabaka on 16/05/2022 - 09:19

          that's the consequence of higher refresh rate, yes

          but nothing stopping you from running it at 60hz when doing day to day tasks and only 300hz when gaming.

          picture looks crisp at 60hz and smooth at 300hz

      • maverickjohn on 16/05/2022 - 07:53

        I suspected as much but honestly apart from the divisible number the top end of 240and 300 is difficulty to ascertain differences

        • shabaka on 16/05/2022 - 09:06
          +1

          yes. I swear I could catch the difference between 120hz screen and 165hz, but above that it's all marketing as far as I can tell. they are all buttery smooth, but depends on screen's GTG

    Darn, I missed out on Deal 1.

    But I did some Googling and came across 'Shopping Express'. They're selling the newer model (Win 11 with 240hz) of Deal 1 for $1999.00 but it gets discounted to $1799.10 (not including shipping) after adding to the cart. It appears that a 10% discount code, 'STRW10MAY', is automatically applied but it can also be applied manually.

    Also, it says it comes with 24GB RAM which seems unusual to me. I have a feeling that they've made a mistake by combining the 16GB RAM with the 8GB VRAM making it a total of 24GB.

Doesn't have to be a 3070 graphics card as he has a gaming computer (with 3070ti) so hoping to spend around $2000-$2400. Currently looking at an ASUS TUF Gaming A15.
