    Do you know if the R7 is coming back?

    • shegeloaf on 10/02/2024 - 23:24

      My swift laptop that i bought 12 months ago died after one year of very minimal use.
      I do not trust acers.

      • us3rnam3tak3n on 11/02/2024 - 15:46

        I don't trust them due to bad experiences 20+ years ago. I only came to look at comments to see if they'd improved. I guess not.

    How well do they manage burn in on these panels? Surely because the task bar is shown all the time (unless you have auto hide on), that would burn in?

    • ubcool on 10/02/2024 - 16:33

      There no burn in on oled laptops

    • lookingforadeal7 on 10/02/2024 - 18:13

      On newer OLED panels they have taskbar detection among other static images where it'll dim your task bar and shift pixels as you run it. I'm sure there's 3rd party software that does this or at least there should be.

      • ldd-mn on 10/02/2024 - 19:44

        Yeah, I thought there'd be something at least.

    Got the model with the 13700H last night as it was the very last one left in Victoria for $1098 through HN.
    Very good laptop for the money! The OLED screen is nice.

    They're all discontinued models so the ryzen 7 won't ever come back.

    • Gdsamp on 10/02/2024 - 15:59

      Godspeed

    Description doesn’t match the specs of the R5 one in the title.

    How does this compare with the one on this deal - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/830215#comment-14933106

    OLED is beautiful but it gave me bad headaches working on it 8+ hours a day. :( Went back to IPS.

    • lookingforadeal7 on 10/02/2024 - 17:50

      Yep need to factor in the 6k for laser eye surgery needed after using OLED

      • R-Man on 10/02/2024 - 19:12

        This is the first I've heard of OLED headaches! I've only had OLED phones so never tried a monitor

        What is it about the screen that causes it you reckon?

        • Fredbass on 10/02/2024 - 19:41
          +2

          PWM flickering. It is really bad and all laptops with OLED have it. If you use it for 4+ hours a day do yourself a favour and go IPS.

          • ldd-mn on 11/02/2024 - 08:06

            @Fredbass: Doesn't PWM flickering only affect you on lower brightness?

            • shabaka on 11/02/2024 - 08:37
              +2

              @ldd-mn: pwm is engaged on anything lower than 100% brightness

              been there done that - wanted OLED for creative work (photo, video editing), but calibrating the damn thing and getting it to behave in controlled lighting without giving me headaches was just not happening

              the day I got MacBook Pro with miniled all windows laptops stopped existing for me. it's just this good, and next best thing after OLED, with no problems to go with it

    Listed specs are unfortunately wrong.

  • Wonderfool on 10/02/2024 - 17:32

    Is there battery difference between ips and OLED laptops?

    • Brrrrt on 10/02/2024 - 21:21

      OLED panels consume less power than your average IPS panel.

      • Wonderfool on 10/02/2024 - 22:10

        I thought that only applies to phone where everything has dark mode inbuilt?

        • Brrrrt on 10/02/2024 - 22:23

          nah. oled tech have envolved that now they on average do have the edge vs lcd panels, just look at switch vs switch oled forever, and steamdeck oled vs the standard one - even with the oled packing a bigger (50wh vs 40wh) battery, the battery life gain is quite bigger than that 20% gain in raw capacity - thanks to the, on average, lesser consumption of oled screen.

          • holisticboy on 12/02/2024 - 16:36

            @Brrrrt: Just note that if you reduce the brightness on OLED (to increase battery) that PWM will kick in and your screen may appear “jittery” (cause headaches for some users) while IPS is flicker free mostly nowadays.

            i mention this only because if you’re concerned with battery you’ll likely reduce your brightness on both platforms, but one will give you a potential migraine (OLED) and the other will likely not (IPS).

            Of course if it doesn’t bother you then none of this matters

    Need Ryzen 7 7840U deal

  • plentifoo on 10/02/2024 - 17:50

    i had the R7 version of this.

    bought and sold within 4 weeks. while the specs and oled screen is great for the price, there's something about the entire feel and experience of using an acer laptop that doesn't sit right with me. maybe it's the somewhat flimsy/thick case or maybe i'm just a laptop brand snob.

    if you are in it for the specs and oled alone, these acers are unbeatable though.

    • RubenM on 10/02/2024 - 20:36

      Looking to sell it?

      • plentifoo on 10/02/2024 - 22:44

        Already sold

  • Humphrey on 11/02/2024 - 10:22

    Got this a month ago for uni and have loved it. Build quality is definitely cheap but what do you expect. The screen is where this really shines. Haven’t had any overheating or other issues so far, would recommend if you’re on a budget but want decent specs with a beautiful screen.

      What has the battery life been like?

      • Humphrey on 11/02/2024 - 18:08

        I mainly use it for lectures and textbooks running at 100% brightness which gets me at least 7-8 hours. Obviously would be less if gaming or productive intense tasks, in which case bring a charger or spend more money :)
