The cheapest AMD Phoenix (Zen 4) based laptop to date at $1097 with an Nvidia dGPU. Stock checker

Considering this is a Phoenix based Zen 4 CPU, you also get a good iGPU to help conserve battery life in a gaming laptop, when you don't need the dGPU, and the new Ryzen AI tech. This laptop also seems to support USB4 based on the Officeworks specifications list.

        Thanks! I think I'll open it up to make sure what's actually there.
        But does it mean that I can use any brand or model as long as it is DDR5-5600?

    Oof

      1.8 kg for almost similar spec Dell xps 15.6". So 800 gr heavier with slightly bigger screen at more than half the price. Not too bad.

      • Dyl on 26/08/2023 - 14:18

        1.8kg will go nicely in carry on, 2.7kg you're pushing things

          You're not going to find anything like these specs at this price in a lightweight…

  • Fluffyrab on 26/08/2023 - 16:23

    Opened mine up and it doesn't have Australian power cord…
    Office works happily replaced it with the display model cord so all good. It was definitely Australian stock.

    Bought one for a friend, running Ratchet & Clank - Rift Apart with DLSS 3.0 Quality FG with RTX ON / High all Settings with default resolution, I can get 60fps stable easily with just 40-60W GPU power. This laptop is a something… even better than my 3070Ti laptop on RTX ON with the same settings.

      Hi mate what is the power output of the charger that comes with this laptop , thanks.

        230W, surprisingly it uses exactly the same power adapter as my Gigabyte Aero 5 XE4 lol

          I haven't 100% tested yet (too short of a test), but I was running Guardians of the Galaxy with USB power and it seemed to be OK

  • Beerzy1980 on 28/08/2023 - 23:21

    Can anyone who has bought one confirm if they can run it from igpu ? i assume battery life would be amazing if possible ?

    • hitman47 on 29/08/2023 - 09:45

      Yes. It has Nvidia advanced Optimus. So essentially from Nvidia control panel you can choose to run iGPU only or discrete GPU only or auto select based on what you are doing. I haven't tested battery on iGPU only, but I assume it should be good.

    • Tavisophical on 07/09/2023 - 16:07

      I've noticed that it won't run from dGPU unless certain conditions are met such as: the hdmi port is being used; you configure it to use the dGPU only in the Nvidia control panel; you have a charger plugged in

    For those who's still interested, I have just cancelled my order and there should soon be 1 unit available (better check prior to going) at Waurn Ponds ready to go. Good luck!!

    I'm quite impressed with this laptop, for the money it's incredible value!

    Pros (so far)
    + Decent battery life; guessing it's the combo of 7640HS + Optimus + 90Whr battery
    + Can charge with USB-C (Thunderbolt)
    + Runs cool and quiet without losing much performance; the one push toggle button between different modes is really good letting you toggle between ECO and Balanced with on battery, and then between Quiet, Balanced, Performance and Turbo when plugged in with a different colour representing the mode + a notification from the software

    Cons
    - Doesn't seem to come shipped with software to automatically switch to 60hz on battery and 165hz when plugged in, or I haven't figured out how to do it

    • Tavisophical on 01/09/2023 - 10:11

      More Pros
      + Playing Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy on full brightness while charging via USB-C does not drain the battery!!!!

      Minor Con
      - Relatively heavy, but it's also not supposed to be an ultra portable

    Recent review here https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/acer-nitro-16-2023 selling for 999 U.S so 1097 here is a good price.

  • paulaus on 31/08/2023 - 08:46

    Did anyone take the extension warranty insurance officeworks for 169 for extra 2 years cover. For 85 a year I'm considering it for peace of mind.

    • leiiv on 31/08/2023 - 20:13

      I did not. I thought the same thing already covered by the ACL? What I don't know is that how difficult it is to claim under the officeworks extension. If it is very quick and easy, no question asked, then it would be no brainer.

    • Nom on 31/08/2023 - 22:00

      $169 for two years cover on an $1100 device is bonkers expensive - even if they have to completely replace one in every seven machines then they've still got leftover money from the $1183 collected on those seven warranties ! In reality the failure rates won't be anywhere near that high.

      Extended warranties are always a scam.

    -USB 4
    -16 inch panel with at least: 165Hz - 100% sRGB - 400 cd/m² brightness (at least according to spec sheet) - g-sync a bonus
    -advanced optimus
    -upgradeable ram
    -spare nvme slot

  • Beerzy1980 on 01/09/2023 - 16:14

    Managed to find one, last unit in WA. After opening it, was disappointed to see LED screeen wasn't aligned to the frame of the laptop. Had to return it. But the laptop itself was otherwise amazing. Oh well.

    • paulaus on 01/09/2023 - 17:14

      Just order another.

  • Beerzy1980 on 01/09/2023 - 22:00

    Yeah apparently they're going to be getting more stock so I expect Officeworks to have a few more of these over the next couple of months

  • paulaus on 06/09/2023 - 07:26

    Wow 1797 now
