      The screen is absolutely fabulous. This is the best laptop you can buy at twice this price. I'm not joking.

      The one with an i7-1260P? You'll be waiting a while.
      The one with an i7-1165G7 has been $899 before (two years after it released)

    • OrenjiO on 27/12/2022 - 21:29

      Don't think it worth the premium, unless they out 32GB of RAM into this =( which I don't see it happen until 14th gen 🙏

      • incipient on 27/12/2022 - 23:58

        It's absolutely worth the premium for the build quality. You could probably save $200 if you were really lucky on an Acer or entry level lenovo? But if you can spend the extra, these feel glorious. Solid but not heavy, and most importantly you don't have to uninstall a bunch of junk out of the box!

        The only annoying thing is I can't find any way to limit it charging itself to say 90% rather than max. Unless of course they have some other battery tech in these that don't need it.

          I think OrenjiO was saying it isn't worth the premium for the i7 version of the M15 over the i5

      • AussieGargain on 27/12/2022 - 21:38

        Thx for the link. Curious about i5 has higher score than i7. Also thought i7 is better than i5 if they are the same generation.

        • Doge on 27/12/2022 - 22:14

          I would guess that throttling is the main issue. The i7 has higher clocks and with the same core config and is therefore slightly more powerful but it isn't any faster in the 'real world' which is what CPU Benchmark is showing.

      • helicopeter on 27/12/2022 - 23:32

        Nice. They both use the same iGPU

  • bdl on 27/12/2022 - 21:31

    The other deal a few days ago was $815 and similar specs, if not better.

    This has a larger screen tho.

    • JoeBogan on 27/12/2022 - 21:35

      You can get that anymore and the build quality on the M15 would be miles better.

    • SvcKpc on 27/12/2022 - 21:52

      I don't think that had an IPS panel though, and yes it was smaller.
      I am also never buying an HP Pavilion again after the bad experience I had with one several years back. Pavilions historically have poor internal design.

      • [Deactivated] on 27/12/2022 - 21:55

        The reviews on the model are very good from various websites.

        It's also over 20% cheaper.

        This is upgradable ram, then that's a good bonus + larger screen.

          This is also 1.7kgs. The HP was 1.4. Two different beasts. Probably both great deals though.

          This also comes with faster DDR5 memory and Thunderbolt 4. So I suppose it is worth the extra price.

  • dngo on 27/12/2022 - 21:38

    Im literally about to check out the i7-1260p with 1TB. If mostly for web browsing and watching youtube, is it worth the extra $300 to go from i5-1240 500gb to i7-1260p with 1tb? Bummed it doesnt have a numberpad though

    • mrtee on 27/12/2022 - 21:44

      Same ram? If 32gb would be worth the extra.

    • abadacus on 27/12/2022 - 22:17

      Why do you need 12th gen i7 to browse and watch youtube?

      • dngo on 27/12/2022 - 22:24

        Its more the 1Tb, and wouldnt mind touch screen

        • freefall101 on 28/12/2022 - 00:10

          1tb seems excessive to your needs, just get some network storage setup.

        • Safoan on 28/12/2022 - 18:08

          I am in the same boat. Want the touchscreen but dont want to pay $300 for it

    • Dsiee on 27/12/2022 - 22:45

      You don't need i7 for that workload at all. If you need the storage, sure go for it. Although, a few years of a cloud storage plan would be around the $300 and thus better value.

  • happychappy1 on 27/12/2022 - 22:04

    I think the power consumption on these CPUs aren't great.

    • mrau on 28/12/2022 - 00:15

      i5 is excellent, i7 runs a bit hotter. I own and use both (work/home). I guess you're going to ask why do I need two, and the answer is I don't want the company I work for control the device I use in my own time.

  • saj72 on 27/12/2022 - 22:14

      No, only i7 is touch

        Cooling is good, but I think that it never gets really hot, especially the i5

    Not a fan of 15.6.
    16" inch is the sweet spot for dual windows on the 1 screen & 13.5'-14' for portability (minimum size to fit 2 windows).

    yes I have studied this for ages.

    Of course who would of thought of making a notebook with good parts and not scrimping to save $1.38 would lead to a solid laptop…..
    Looking at dell, hp, asus, acer, etc.

    I was curious of how the Intel i5-1240p would compete against i7-1260p and found this by Josh:

    https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=F-y8ElW473s

    Initially I was thinking of purchasing this deal. After watching this video, I went with the i7-1260p deal instead.

    • SvcKpc on 28/12/2022 - 14:00

      The thing is, performance benchmarks just don't mean that much on laptops like these compared to desktops. If I was going to do video editing or rendering on a laptop, I'd want a dGPU at an absolute minimum.
      As for Battery Life, I'm just not believing that. There is obviously something wrong with the battery on the i5 laptop.
