Saw it on my ebay list and could not believe first but looks like it's 12th gen i7 M15 for just over 1k. Note there is some discrepancies in the description saying it's 11th gen but I bought it any way before it runs out of stock and have messaged to confirm the spec. Will update once I get a response.

    the MPN: BBC710ECUXBC1 is the model number of the previous 11th Gen intel laptop
    EAN 0735858475518 is also the previous gen. Going by the price I'd say this is most likely not Alder Lake 12th gen.

    edit: Some users called and can confirm EAN and MPN incorrect, this would be a 12th gen alderlake. It is most likely this SKU with a 1TB SSD, but this is not written anywhere on the eBay listing.

      The title and description are BRC710, the item specifics are BBC710. I'd actually also assume a listing error and except to receive a 11th gen product.

    Fantastic, bought this or $1,295 from Shopping Express just a week ago. Unethical question; does anyone know if I can buy from bing lee and return that laptop to Shopping Express or do they track serial numbers?

    • sinewaves7 on 03/01/2023 - 14:40

      Every store will track serial numbers of something like a laptop my man… The idea of not doing so is absurd. They'd be unable to process warranties properly.

      I'd say you run a pretty big risk of it blowing up in your face, owning two laptops and having to pay shipping both ways to get it to and from Shopping Express. It's not worth it for the modest gain.

    • Safoan on 03/01/2023 - 14:44

      I bought it from shopping express too but have not recived it yet. Will like to return too if this one is the same. Hopefully they will provide a full refund. It nice to see we think alike .

      • saj72 on 03/01/2023 - 15:05

        I imagine returning and refunding won't be an issue. I'm kicking myself for saving the 1% and paying by bank transfer instead of paying by 28 degrees and having price protection from drops in prices. Going to see if I can get them to let me pay by credit card for a product I already have :/

    Folks - I spoke to Bing Lee CS on the phone just now and they confirmed the eBay store details are an error in the listing. It's 12th Gen. Happy days! School laptop for my son now sorted.

    • Aikendrum on 03/01/2023 - 15:38

      One other thing - and I didn't confirm this on the call, but - the CS rep said the product was the same as that listed on the Bing Lee website, which shows a 1TB HD. If that's the case then if I'm not wrong, this is a bit of steal? Crossing fingers!

        • saj72 on 03/01/2023 - 16:51

          I'm looking at my Intel NUC M15 i7-1260p at the moment and the battery is at 85% which it estimates to be 5hrs 50 mins. That said, I don't reckon it'll last that long but you might get a total 5-6 hours with just office work.

          • buddysayshi on 03/01/2023 - 17:20

            @saj72: Thanks for the update. Battery life is quite poor I guess on this model.

            • sagrgar on 03/01/2023 - 22:43

              @buddysayshi: 12th gen i7 is very power hungry processor. If battery life is your priority, I'd advise you go with Ryzen. They're much more efficient and great battery life.

    • saj72 on 03/01/2023 - 16:48

      seconding what @sagrgar said, fan goes crazy for nothing and runs very hot. Seems to be a common issue and the solution for the fans is to turn off Turbo Boost in the BIOS (F2 when starting up the laptop to get to this menu, then Advanced I think).

      That said, love the laptop, build quality is great and no issues handling day to day usage. Can handle games as well.

      I have a surface 4 for work and I like my Intel way more, just for my personal opinion that while the surface 4 is reliable and a good machine, it's unexciting. Have a friend who also had like 3 or 4 Surface Pros for work and they kept developing issues that required replacement. That said, don't have any issues with my surface.

      • Aikendrum on 03/01/2023 - 18:51

        Yep I've had a look around on this as well, and others have said the same thing - fan ramp up is too aggressive for certain power management modes. I was originally planning on getting i5 model, so I'm happy to take a hit on performance for better battery life and lower heat for mobile use. Will just bump it back up again when more power is needed! This review, which admittedly is on an older CPU but illustrates the point, claimed pretty decent battery life with the right settings: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Schenker-Vision-15-Intel-NUC-M…

            • Safoan on 07/01/2023 - 00:35

              @Aikendrum: Hopefully, keep us updated what tweaking worked for you so we can do the same . Still waiting for my one. I was also interested to know if intel keeps the chassis same for nuc laptop dose it mean someone with the 11th gen can upgrade to a 12th gen just by swaping the motherboard including cpu and ram as they are all soldered in. Or we can upgrade to 13th or 14th gen when they come out.

              • Aikendrum on 16/01/2023 - 22:51

                @Safoan: So I haven't done any bios fiddling yet, but ran a battery life test today with:

                • YouTube Earth flyaround video playing
                • Screen Brightness 30%
                • Battery saver turned on
                • Screen and PC set to never turn off

                I stopped playback at about 7h45, and there was 19% battery life left. I'm pretty happy with that. Should do fine for school and have some grunt for desktop usage when plugged in. The screen is very nice indeed!

                • Aikendrum on 16/01/2023 - 22:53

                  @Aikendrum: Oh also, I never heard the fans wind up. They were running, just very quiet. And it never got hot.

      • CheapandUsed on 03/01/2023 - 18:53

        Ahh, I remember reading a comment on a previous deal that the i5-12 out performs the i7, maybe the overheating/ throttling is the cause of that.

      • chrisandrew on 03/01/2023 - 19:24

        It can handle games well? What am I missing here; is there a discreet GPU not listed?

        Without one and a 1080p screen, it seems "reasonably priced", I guess but would you say a bargain?

        • 9hundred on 03/01/2023 - 21:51
          +2

          It has integrated graphics, so it's "reasonably priced", certainly not a steal as some have said. This is the normal price.

      • sagrgar on 03/01/2023 - 22:45

        Did you turn off turn Boost? The laptop is hot with fans on, how would it be without the fans going crazy like that??

        • saj72 on 03/01/2023 - 22:58

          From what Intel says about Turbo Boost, I think turning it off may mean the CPU runs at a lower clock rate and as a result gets less hot, but I don't really understand it

    Just a warning
    This laptop has had a fault once and I spoke to BingLee
    They said to call the supplier
    Then supplier gave me no technical support instead asked me to send it in along with details of purchase
    Which could have taken a week or two for all this to be analysed and tested then the outcome
    I thought I ring back Bing Lee and ask them for a replacement
    She said we have to see the laptop and then the outcome
    I said ok
    She goes you have to send it in on my expense
    I said why this should be under warranty
    Nope
    So I used my technical side and safe started the lappy then a full reset did the job
    I’m still getting weird glitches here and there though then disappears
    So what I’m saying is their customer service is not good
    The first time I called they didn’t even know what to do other then handball the problem

      For what it's worth, Intel (manufacturer) were incredibly helpful when I had a faulty NUC i5 recently. They couldn't close the support request without a resolution, so were very patient with me taking the time to troubleshoot an intermittent issue. In the end I got a replacement shipped via DHL which turned up in days.

      Very impressed start to finish with Intel's support. If you are getting glitches, I'd just go straight to them and suck up the few days without a laptop. They didn't need to assess it on their end, just make sure I had run enough troubleshooting for the issue.

      Under the Australian consumer law, businesses aren't allowed to fob you off like this. It's not legal for them to do so. Write a complaint letter stating the issue and the resolution you want, the ACCC site can help with that.

      When it comes to laptops, you cannot understate the importance of thermal design. It doesn't matter how good the CPU is; if the internals are bad, it will perform like crap.

        Yeah, exactly.

        Is the i7 better? Yes.
        Is it 30% better, no? I paid 30% less for my i5.

        I paid $750, so if I am paying $1070….I expect it to be better aka 30% better.

        I like this laptop tho, I think it's worth the money and the screen is the same as my old laptop. After seeing the 14", i realise the extra screen size is good if you use it at home as a work station rather than portable.

    Does anyone know the screen spec? Especially the colour and refresh rate. I am buying the Xiaomi book Pro 15 ryzen 7 5800h 16g 512, oled $1250

    For anyone purchasing from the eBay store, make sure you click on the "Pay only AU $1,079.00. Show me how" link to get the correct promo code!

    I got my NUC M15 in the mail today from a different ShoppingExpress deal, and I just have one warning for all of you:

    Make sure whoever is selling you one is packaging in the Australian Power Adapter.

    ShoppingExpress, being the spanners that they are, sent me the laptop as is, and it came only with an american plug. Upon checking the store page again, it turns out they were also offering a "C5 Power Cable 1M AU PLUG" as a "freebie", which I somehow must have missed, but instead of just including it by default with every order, I was expected to manually include it in the cart.

    I wish intel evo didn't have soldered ram

  • Mischaseb on 04/01/2023 - 19:07

    Collected mine today. Nice laptop but wow, windows 11 is a steaming turd! Anybody planning to try W10? No W10 drivers on the Intel website but it might be worth trying the W11 drivers.

    I bought mine on the 1st on January at Bing Lee Store. Be careful guys this model suffers from overheating. No matter updates and Bios update. Nothing will fix it. My one is back at the store at the moment as they said they will need Intel to asses it! I don't understand their policies…… But I'm very keen to see the Intel answer……

    • reactor-au on 06/01/2023 - 08:05

      The Intel answers is that it is within manufacturer specifications

      • MarioBros on 06/01/2023 - 09:23

        Then I want to heat from intel that a laptop on IDLE has to be at 50/55 degrees. I want to hear it. Soon after I'll go straight to the ACC……

          Seems pretty normal imo, it's a compact chassis
