  It hurts to think you could've bought a 4090 HP Omen for $149 less

    I had an order for Omen and ended up cancelling it. The screen wobble and really old chassis didn’t sit right with me.

      Mm…still a good price though. People keep talking about the screen wabble but I don't get how that actually affects day to day use. How much of a problem is it really…

        After purchasing the Acer Nitro 5 last year, I found out that it's not much of an issue really. Thermal, on the other hand, is.

  Very high end laptop. I am still looking for a laptop up to the budget around $1200.

  I’m not sure why everyone complains about how expensive gaming laptops are!!
  If you are on a budget buy yourself a lower tier laptop that is dedicated to a specific task and perhaps buy yourself a gaming console along with it.
  However, If you want a laptop that can do it all then you’ll have to pay the asking price.
  I think this presents a great value for what it can do.

    Pretty stupid comment to make, given the complaints are valid considering price to performance (yes, this is even factoring in the knowledge that laptop performance should be lower due to physical constraints). This also isn't great value at all, given that we know just how anything below a 4080 fares, compared to previous gen 3000 counterparts.

    • 

      Anth380 on 09/04/2023 - 16:08

      So in that case your issue should really be with inflation rather than these gaming laptop!
      Look around you and point at something that hasn’t shot up in price?!

      • 

        GachaGamer on 09/04/2023 - 16:41

        Its not an inflation issue (a good example of this would be with memory prices on ddr5, especially with the market for DRAM being slow as it is, and major players slowing production to deal with stocked inventory - even samsung had to cut its production as their decision to continue production to gain market share has at this stage, slapped them in the face with the even higher then expected loss in profits). Its that this gen is significantly over priced (not to mention as i and many others have stated time and time again, misleading in their naming choice, a laptop 4090 is clearly not even remotely close to a desktop 4090 - this is even factoring in the expected performance drops due to physical/thermal constraints), and this isn't just a consensus here in ozbargain, but also from practically all the hardware/gaming laptop review channels/websites.

        The reality is, whilst there is indeed a good performance gain over previous gen (strictly from the 4080 up), the gain isn't as comparable to the differences between desktop improvements, which is a hard pill to swallow when they have decided to name them the same, and over charge them even more.

          @GachaGamer: Back then for laptops there were little performance gap between 3070 and 3080 (especially due to TGP constraints).

          Are you saying that there is a large gap between 4070 and 4080?

            @meong: The issue is not that there's a large gap between the two, but that there's marginal GPU performance gains compared to the 3070ti/3080ti from previous generation if you go for anything below a 4080. It's one of the main reasons why these deals with 4070/4060's that go for 3k+ are terrible value.

        johndoh89 on 14/04/2023 - 18:36

        Inflation isn't at 25%, this is from price gouging across the parts and manufacturer. The Nvidia gpus especially, marking the tiers down one each from where they should AND increasing the unit price of each tier.

        4080 should be called a 4070, and the 4070 should be labelled 4060.

    So they can impulse sell you an upgrade close to checkout. I thought that was obvious

      Oh ok I didn't realise you could customise these. I ended up getting an aftershock one for that reason last year.

  Why are 7945HX laptops so expensive? A full 2k over this top-of-the-line intel chip laptop. I know the GPU, HDD and RAM is better, but surely that can't make a $2k difference in product?

  • 

    GachaGamer on 09/04/2023 - 15:43

    Most of the pricing difference isn't actually from the CPU, roughly speaking, the 13980HX and 7945HX are fairly comparable cpu's with the former generally performing marginally better than the latter for some games with the latter having better lows (amd is still better for multi core rendering) - current gen cpu's are all power hungry, though for the most part amd retains their power efficiency over intel. Noting here that zen4 is quite memory sensitive compared to intel - which thankfully the 7945HX has a larger l3 cache.

    Rather it's from the GPU, to provide an example using ozbargains beloved lenovo legion series:

    Ceteris paribus on their gen 8 legion 7, they charge you an extra $900 going from 4070->4080 (non sale and no edu portal discount - noting here that stupidly enough, their 4080 is currently on sale for cheaper than their 4070 variant) and a further $1300 going from 4080->4090.

  Should note that the g16/18 (intel cpu) and the g17 (amd cpu) have different screen qualities (not just talking about size):

  Both the g16/18 are QHD+ whilst the g17 is a slightly inferior WQHD

  Reading a lot of computing forums in recent weeks, it appears that the 2023 ASUS (4000 series gpu) range have a few issues. Relating to cooling/fan use, coil whine and some other things that may be fixed in future bios updates. I've had a TUF A15 for 2 years, it's still pretty good… I've had a desire to 'update' since I saw the prices of the 2022 models straight after Christmas. But biding my time to find the right purchase.

  OzByte on 10/04/2023 - 02:23

  Looks to be an inch thick, you can barely call it a laptop. Anyone got one yet, curious how loud those fans are with the 4070, is it a jet turbine ?

    Use APRIL10 instead. And buy the strix laptop so it goes out of stock before I buy it
