    Holy moly that is a lot for the price. Been waiting for a 2in1 deal with a touchscreen to take for my month long holiday. But this is too tempting.

  • i assume that the laptop ARC GPU has benefitted from driver updates like the desktops so all the older reviews online for gaming may be out of date.

    Could make a good content creator/photo editing laptop if not that great for gaming

    • I think older drivers had it at a ~3050 :)

  • Very tempted to pull the trigger. Is the A730M a big drawback for light gaming? I don't need ultra high settings, just as long as it can run stuff reasonably well. For context, my desktop has a 1050ti and that doesn't bother me.

      If the comment about the latest drivers putting this up there with a 3060 then this thing should crush a 1050ti. Even if it's wrong and the card realistically still hovers around 3050 performance, this would crush a 1050ti.

  • Such a small keyboard for a 15.6" inch laptop. Looks like it's from a 13" model.

  • What is the screen like on this? is it bright enough?

    That's a lot of laptop for the price. Anything I should be aware of? Whom will I deal with the warranty claim? MWave or Intel?

    • Good question;)

      Warranties are the responsibility of the retailer.

  • Can't see what the battery is anywhere, prob not gonna last long tho no matter what it is. 2 years laptop warranty and 1 year battery warranty.

    This is an amazing bundle for the price, I'd buy it if I didn't get a msi Evo flip 4 for the same price about a year ago.

  • Nice laptop for the price. Abybody knows who provides the KIT and hows the quality of the cooling etc?

  • would this play older games like assassin's creed origins and odyssey or Genshin Impact at above average settings?

  • Did anyone else order one?

    Has there order made any progression? Hoping it doesn't take the full 10 days to 'build'.

    • I ordered one six days ago. Order still on "processing", asked them for am ETA bit didn't hear back. Hopefully it's not too much longer.

        Same story here, ordered 16th and still sitting in processing.

      • same, ordered on the 16th

    • A friend ordered one and has had no updates since verified/processing.
      They are wondering if this is not gonna happen or if a refund is coming.

      • They put it back up online at $2.7k…. not looking promising.

        • Just called them after a week of it being on "processing" they told me it's currently in the build phase and will be shipped by the end of the day as long as nothing goes wrong.

          So hopefully it's all good and we'll all get our laptops.

          • @whapkaplit: Got an email not long ago that it's shipped. Order says completed in MWAVE account.

            Hopefully we get them !

  • FYI no longer available

    Got the laptop today. Pretty good !

    • How is the battery life?

      • +1

        Yeah battery alright I got 5 hours but I also have the battery protection on where it only charges to 65%

        • Thank you for your response!

          Do you suppose it would last the day for schoolwork? Minimum 6+ hours?

          I am not sure what battery protection is and how it affects battery life. Does it mean that only 65% charge got you 5 hours of usage, so it should last longer from a full charge?

          • +1

            @jessjess: Yeah I'd say you'd just get 6 hour on power efficiency mode. It's in windows settings

          Battery protection? I've been looking for a way to limit the charge of this laptop, where is this setting please??

    • +1

      I second that …..
      I'd like to know how long the battery lasts as well

    • Hey does your fan turn on randomly when doing nothing? Fresh install and nothing installed yet

  • Anyone's else fan turning on randomly when doing nothing? CPU and ram not doing anything

    Can anyone confirm whether the ARC driver updates have improved the performance of the A730m gpu at all? There seems to be absolutely nothing online about whether this is the case or not, only that with the initial release driver, performance was sub 3060 level. Would be good to know if this is now superior to 3060 level or not.
