      To note, the 780m on the 8xxx series is about 5% better in average, and 10% better in 1% lows. Amd had improved how the timing of the ram interacts with the IGPU. I dunno if that's also on the 7xxx series now but that's what we saw on the 8 series refreshed laptops like the win max 2 2024.

  • HolyFosh on 15/02/2025 - 14:32

    Very tempted as this is extremely close to what I'm looking for.

    The only real sticking points being: I'm unsure if I'll like the 16:10 aspect ratio for watching tv shows, and I was looking for a 15.6 inch laptop. So I'm not sure if 16 will be too large and its about 300 grams more than the 15.6 ones I was looking at. (Although either way its lighter than my current 2.5 kg one…)

    Also slightly annoying the charging port is on the wrong side for me, but realistically that's a super minor issue that a brand new battery will make mostly moot.

    I think I'll need to watch some video reviews and have a serious think about this one…

    EDIT: The more I look the more it seems perfect for me /except/ the 16:10 aspect ratio.

    Which I think given I would plan to be spending at least half the time the laptop is on watching things that should in in 16:9, it would drive me crazy.

    • scotty on 15/02/2025 - 15:45
      +11

      16:10 16" screen is of the same width as 16:9 15.6" screen — just slightly taller so you get small black bars above & below your 16:9 movie. It's really no different from watching the same movie on a 15.6" screen. Bezel is black so you probably won't notice the black bar much either.

      • CyberMurning on 15/02/2025 - 16:33
        +2

        Agree. Its almost weird that he is even considering that factor. Should be not deciding factor at all 15.6 n 16. If 17 or 14 then yeah

      • HolyFosh on 15/02/2025 - 16:51
        -1

        That's good to know.

        Since I made that comment I've actually done some measuring of my current laptop and its actually a tad smaller than the 15.6 one I'm using right now.

        Might have to pop around to an officeworks tomorrow and try out a couple of 16:10 laptops to see how I feel about the aspect ratio in use.

        • stephendt on 15/02/2025 - 17:16
          +3

          As someone who had used both a lot, 16" 16:10 is superior in every way.

          • HolyFosh on 15/02/2025 - 17:19
            -1

            @stephendt: In my case though I plan on spending 50%> of the time using it watching content that's natively 16:9. So if it turns out the black bars other me that's a pretty big downside.

        • railspider on 15/02/2025 - 17:17

          If it helps, I'll never go back from a 16:10 (or taller) ratio after switching to it. Browsing and general PC use is so much better with more vertical screen space

      According to the specs this comes with a 100w charger. So that part shouldn't be an issue

    • shellshocked on 15/02/2025 - 15:13
      +2

      You can dynamically allocate the RAM to the iGPU with the latest AMD APUs. This can be done with the latest Radeon drivers. On a 32gb machine it should allow up to 16gb/24gb to be allocated to the iGPU.

      • banana365 on 15/02/2025 - 15:17

        Thank you. It's been decades since I was up with computer specs, these days I'm typically "give me more RAM" and that's about it, but this is for my son and he's more specific. It looks ideal.

      • Phoebus on 15/02/2025 - 15:56

        I wonder if there's any point allocating more than 4GB to an iGPU like this. 2GB is probably plenty

        • Aarent on 15/02/2025 - 18:25

          lol

      • Phoebus on 15/02/2025 - 21:41

        From what I've read this is a bit wrong. You should only ever allocate 1GB to the iGPU. The system will then allocate any required shared RAM above that. iGPUs don't require much RAM because they don't have the required RAM bandwidth to effectively use a lot of RAM

  • Associateddualcore @ Lenovo on 15/02/2025 - 15:41

    Any good laptops that's 13" or 14"? I'm currently using the acer swift (OLED, i3-13500H, RTX 3050 6GB) that I bought for $999 a while ago, but gosh is the single fan loud, the CPU and GPU feels wasted with the extremely low power limits… not a good travel laptop.

    I'm thinking of getting a Ryzen with a reasonable Ryzen APU, that has a well-designed chassis with cooling. This laptop's specs look great but 16" is too much.

    • CyberMurning on 15/02/2025 - 16:46

      Hmm your laptop sounds like has better decent spec already with better screen

      • Associateddualcore @ Lenovo on 15/02/2025 - 17:51

        It has decent specs but it's a PITA to actually use, because of the 50dB (yes!) fan noise if you really want to use the specs. Extremely underspecced cooling and single fan.

        In reality, it's probably worse usability than a 6-core zen3 with no GPU.

    • Wonderfool on 15/02/2025 - 21:13

      See if you can download a tdp limiter. I keep mine on 8w when I'm not gaming, and the fan stays silent.

      But that being said, I'm using an AMD device (mi max 2 2022) and it's pretty quiet even at full blast.

  • BluebirdV on 15/02/2025 - 16:07

    Are laptops really worth it? I have a 3 year old Acer and I feel like they haven't come far in the last 10 years. Feels like dated technology. Am I missing something? Are Macs even worse? Everything is so meh these days. Maybe need to be Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg to see something worthy.

      i think spec-wise CPU/GPU performance has considerably improved over the decade , but battery tech seems stalling/progressing very slowly despite the EV rush.

      • sackrace on 15/02/2025 - 18:15
        +1

        Arms race on TDP and Intel's lack of progress has contributed to this.

        I'm not an apple fan or ready to switch to arm but the all day performance there shows how much Intel has failed in the last 5 to 10 years.

    • smcdlsk on 15/02/2025 - 17:09

      My Thinkpad is still going strong after 6 years :p so to answer your question it's probably worth it if you don't have one or the one you have is struggling to run the stuff you need to use.

      MacBooks, at least, are killing the competition when it comes to laptops. Sure, they're expensive, but they outperform other laptops without EVER sacrificing battery life.
      They're basically the best of the ultrabook and mobile workstation worlds.
      I honestly can't consider buying another laptop ever again, other than a MacBook, unless there's a Linux laptop that can beat the MacBook on battery life and perf/watt.

    At $1,187 AUD, that's an excellent deal for the specs! You’re getting:

    ✅ Ryzen 7 8845HS (8C/16T, 5.1GHz boost) – Great for both gaming and multitasking.
    ✅ 32GB LPDDR5X RAM – Fast, dual-channel, and plenty for gaming & work.
    ✅ Radeon 780M – Best integrated GPU available, fine for casual gaming.
    ✅ 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD – Fast storage with an extra M.2 slot for upgrades.
    ✅ 2.6K 120Hz Display – Great for smooth visuals and vibrant colors.
    ✅ Aluminum build, 84Wh battery, backlit keyboard – Solid premium feel.
    ✅ Wi-Fi 6E, USB4, HDMI 2.1 – Future-proof connectivity.

    At this price, it's a steal, especially with a 1-year on-site warranty. If you don’t need a dedicated GPU, you won’t find much better in this price range.

    I’d say go for it unless you’re considering spending significantly more for an RTX laptop. If you're happy with 1080p gaming at medium settings, this is a great bang-for-buck choice.

    • Phoebus on 15/02/2025 - 21:44

      Not bad. Getting a bit more for the money, however it will be a bit heavier (2.5kg). I assume the RAM is upgradable too. Good choice if it will be just sitting on a desk most of the time. Not really for school or uni. If going down the heavy laptop route is probably better to spend a bit more and get a Legion 5 Slim with RTX4060. They're sometimes ~$1,600.
