Just saw this on Noel Leeming’s website.

Seems like a very good deal considering the specs of this laptop. It is a touchscreen and 2-in-1 laptop/tablet design.

Most Dell laptops seem to have a decent discount on Noel Leeming’s website as well.

    That's decent, however personally, I'd be looking at the XPS that's on sale

      I always find it hard to know how to compare laptops. I’m really interested to know what measures you use to compare these two and to justify the value in paying the extra few hundy? For example, apart from the obvious double amount of RAM, would you say there would be a notable differential between say the 12th Gen with the 4800mhz RAM in the XPS you’ve shared, vs the more powerful 13th Gen CPU in the OP’s link, which comes with half the RAM but is the faster 5200mhz kind?

      Basically what I’m asking, is what trade offs do you see between the two - is there one which is obviously better than the other, or would perhaps one be better for some people than others for some reasons?

        Well I'd have to look up the specs on Dell website but I'm going to assume that it's smaller, thinner and lighter, so much more portable. These are the XPS's main selling points. Unfortunately NL doesn't provide the tech specs that really matter to most people when looking for a laptop.

        I use a 13" XPS now and the screen feels more like 14" due to the infinity edge screen, which is great. The bezels around the screen are much thinner, giving the impression that it's bigger than it is. From the top-down views you can instantly tell it's much sleeker.

        Performance-wise I doubt there's much between them though.

          Hiya, IT professional here I just wanted to chime in, so the model you posted is 12th gen 32gb but the cheaper one is 13th gen 16gb and i had a quick look, the RAM in the 16GB model is not user expandable, however this laptop is not aimed at power users but casual to mid intensity users, 16gb is generally accepted as the "Sweet spot" Right now for windows computers, more is always better but only if you can utilize it. DDR5 is blazing fast compared to DDR4.

          General consensus on the intel CPUs is that 11 gen was average, 12 was better and introduced their BIG.little architecture which added many more cores (Efficiency and performance) to 12th gen onward, 12th gen was good, 13th gen is great. I would personally take the 16gb model with 1355u as these CPUs are superb and this computer is even capable of gaming should you possess an EGPU with thunderbolt 3 or 4 capability. this deal is definitely quite a good one, as comparable computers are the M1 macbook air (1549 NZD) which only has 60hz screen, is not 360 and has 8gb DDR4 ram, and most 13th gen i7s sit around 1800-2500 mark in new zealand.

          the 1355U model (the one linked in this post) Also sports 360 degree hinge which is quite desirable these days.

          all around quite a great deal on the OP here.

          By the looks of it, XPS doesn't have touch screen if that matters to someone. Also, you might have to check on battery size. But in this case I will always go with latest gen CPU. 13th gen is faster & efficient then 12th gen Intel. DDR5 is better

      The machine is not bad at all, tbh.

      (At first I was a bit sad that I missed the deal with the Dell laptop mentioned above. But today's 1900 bucks is too much and I turned to this model by Lenovo.)

      To be short:
      I customised it on their website to the tops of the chip (processor), RAM & ROM (memory & SSD) and Surface Treatment: Al Fabric. Didn't touch any other options at all. The price totally: 1502 bucks.

      After 15 minutes of chatting and negotiations with their shop assistant via WhatsApp (through the button on the website) I ended up with the grand total of 1390 NZD. (I believe, I could make him do even a better discount, but I didn't push him as much as I could at that moment. Dono why… 🤣🤦🏻‍♂️)

      Now I'm waiting for Lenovo's free delivery and pretty happy that I didn't purchase that Dell, especially when I learned that their batteries leave much to be desired. 🤷🏻‍♂️ (Though I've got absolutely nothing against Dell, cuz their machines are quite alright, pretty clever and absolutely reliable. 👍🏻)

      Hope this can be helpful to someone.
      Regards… 🙏🏻

      • kfr23 on 22/08/2023 - 23:29

        Hey, I saw the option of AI Fabric, could you please explain what it is exactly? I couldn't find much on Lenovo's website. I'm not too keen on the 2 in 1 design, and I found this ThinkPad which seems to have similar specs for cheaper: link. What do you think?

        • Julio Gomez on 23/08/2023 - 08:56

          Hey mate,

          Have a look at the article below:

          https://au.pcmag.com/laptops/91339/lenovo-yoga-6-13-inch

          I think, it will provide you with some details in respect of your question.

          This is my first experience with this type of surfacing on gadgets, hence I personally have no the slightest idea what this looks like at this stage, sorry buddy. 🤷🏻‍♂️

          I've chosen this option, let's say, to find out what it's all about. Cuz a fabric cover on a laptop — sounds pretty odd to me (and costs additional 25 bucks, by the way 🥴). So, I decided to give it a try, so to say. — No idea so far, if this was worth or not to pay extra for this stuff. 🤷🏻‍♂️

          Hope, I won't be disappointed too bitterly… 🤣🤦🏻‍♂️

          As for your link 🔗, by the way:

          Yeap, looks good to me. Seems to be a decent stuff too. 👍🏻
          If you're quite happy with its AMD Ryzen 5 and its 🔋:
          3 Cell Li-Polymer 57Wh (where Yoga runs AMD Ryzen 7 and has 4 Cell Li-Po 59Wh),
          then there's no need to pay extra, of course… 👍🏻

          Regards 🙏🏻

    Thanks OP, I'd been looking for a new 14" laptop for my wife and had been thinking about the 7320 on sale at PBTech, this has much better specs for not much more money.

  • kfr23 on 21/08/2023 - 08:57

    Cool, does anyone know what the battery life is like on these? Looking to replace my ageing Thinkpad.

    • Mash on 21/08/2023 - 09:07

      My 2 cents - I have a Dell Inspiron 7000 and the battery is not good. I’d be lucky to get thru a couple of hours without having to plug it into the charger. I have replaced the original battery twice but the performance of the battery deteriorates within a few months of usage. Hope this helps.

      • kfr23 on 21/08/2023 - 09:21

        Wow, that actually sounds worse. Maybe not then lol, thanks for your reply.

        • denverthedinosaur on 21/08/2023 - 09:42

          get the lenovo one that's been posted in this thread - it has very decent battery life and performs excellently (i'd recommend the 7735hs processor upgrade), you can also extend the battery life by using the battery saver software it has.

            @denverthedinosaur: Pretty sure that uses Zen 3 though.

            • denverthedinosaur on 21/08/2023 - 12:44

              @kfr23: yes it does but honestly, the thing is a beast, I open up a gazillion tabs on it, run my programming software and a bunch of other stuff and it eats it up without slow-down.

              Battery life has been stable so far (but it's a new laptop so i'd expect that)

        • ace310 on 21/08/2023 - 09:42

          Kind of similar experience. Nothing against Dell. In fact I have 2 old dells (XPS & Inspiron) with bad battery life, another Inspiron 7410 from work since 2 yrs and I can only get around 3-4 hrs max on it. While I have Thinkpad T40(I think) which is atleast 5-6yrs old and I can get around 4hrs on it still.

          So do your research.

    • imphee on 21/08/2023 - 10:14

      Question from a novice. why use battery instead of having it plugged in to a power source? i have always had my laptops powered, have I been doing it wrong?

      • Latex Fist on 21/08/2023 - 10:18
        +1

        Well why not just use a desktop then?

        The reason being is that someople don't want to lug around a power brick/cord, so battery would matter in that instance.

        Also having your laptop plugged in charging all the time isn't great for battery health.

        • Julio Gomez on 24/08/2023 - 08:48

          Completely agree. — The battery will bite the dust pretty shortly if using in the mode of that kind. That's for sure…

      • kfr23 on 21/08/2023 - 10:19

        Uh… use on the go?
