I think this must be a pricing error. The Ultra 7 is $2997, and it's a fantastic deal for a large screen but lightweight high powered laptop.
The 1TB storage equivalent is $3369 at Big W so I'm guessing someone at Officeworks typed a 2 instead of a 3 when they entered the price.
Same model at Scorptec $3599 - https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/laptops-&-notebooks/lapt…
Oh how I wish this had a touchscreen. I'd have purchased it immediately if it was.
this must be a pricing error
Already 2600 bucks and still saying must be pricing error. Jes!
OOS. I got 'em all
Check FB marketplace for the deals
can you meet me at the park?
Cinebench R23 (Multi-Core)
Ryzen AI 9 HX 370: 40,000 points
Core Ultra 9 288V: 19,800 points
Good find and quite tempting given the specs, probably should wait for the ai hx stuff to go on sale.
wow AI 9 HX 370 is double Ultra 9 288V
Intel has really shit the bed. They must be offering OEM's huge discounts to stay on team blue.
Intel has half the cores/threads… four P and four E and no SMT.
The AMD is 4 big Zen cores and 8 small Zen cores. All SMT.
What is the single core bench?
Lunar Lake is perfect for casual use.
288v overpriced for what it is. If you really wanted to go the Intel route, rather save money and get a 256v or 268v. Rather get a Ryzen CPU for overall performance for a similar price point in addition to having a faster AI NPU.
thought this may be a different variation? this one uses Intel Arc graphics processor.
Intel arc, not sure how good this one will be for gaming.
I don't know if intel improved compatibility since I last looked tho.
How much is this normally?
$2500 and no dedicated Graphics Card.
Big difference between a standard dGPU laptop and an energy efficient 16" screen 1.5kg laptop with OLED. Like a gaming laptop vs Ultrabook.
So this is a great deal?
I duno why i bought it but i did. Im a sucker for bargains
It's called FOMO. U shouldn't do investment brah.
I just put it on the company card. Winner winner
How about this as a comparison?

$2599
Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, 32GB LPDDR5X RAM, 1TB SSD, 16inch 165Hz WQXGA IPS, RTX 4070 8GB GDDR6, WiFi 6E, BT 5.3, FHD IR Webcam, 90WHr Battery, 2.20kg, Win11 Home, Backlit 1-zone RGB Chiclet Keyboard with Copilot Key
Good deal for sure.
For
- faster multicore CPU
- Reasonable dGPU
- Significantly faster GPU
- 165Hz vs 120Hz
Against
- 9Wh smaller batter
- Battery life not even mentioned (vs 25h claimed max)
- 700g heavier
- 6mm thicker
- IPS instead of OLED display
- 50% less storage
- 7500 vs 8553 RAM speed
- assembled vs injection moulded chassis
Also wifi 7 verus wifi 6.
For me I don't need portability or battery life, so the dGPU would be better.
And bet Asus build quality better than MSI?
Thanks bought 20 for reselling.
