Ideal specs im going for - Laptop 16gb ram x2 8gb sticks for dual channel, 3060, ryzen 5 series, 1tb nvme drive 15-17inch screen
Just wondering if anyone knows of any EOFY laptop sales, lenovo, metabox seem to have some ok deals atm just curious what people think in regards to bottle necking if the gpu gets too hot, or what to look for in quality of the keyboards etc, just after anyones input that have or know of good quality and good prices. Cheers.
does it have to be an AMD cpu?
there's this OZB deal … https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/704961
11th gen I5 + 3060 …$1195 (+$100 HN gift card) - so == $1095.
only 8GB RAM but can add to it (also only 512GB SSD - unsure if nvme?).
PLE also currently has an I5 11th generation laptop with a 3060 (PLE-650432) for $1499 (save $300 - currently on promo, sale ends in 16 days).
16GB RAM
512GB NVME SSD.
otherwise you're going to have to up the $$$ - just researching then - majority are north of $2400 … esp if you want bigger than a 15 inch screen.
[EDIT] … also on PLE's website … PLE-652121
there's a ryzen 7 for $1699 … so within your budget.
also has 16GB RAM + 1TB nvme SSD.
