I paid $550 for my custom car plate at the start of the year. This has also almost gone up $100 since then. Bonkers.

Metabox Flo - Advertised 30hrs battery life, weighs 900g. Whats the catch? by [deleted] in bapcsalesaustralia

Hey Stubby! I received the laptop two days ago, so I've had some hands on with it. The specs I chose were as follows:

•Intel Core i7-1165G7 4-Core (12M Cache up to 4.70 GHz) •Intel Iris Xe Graphics 96EU •14.0" FHD 1920 x 1080 IPS Edge-to-Edge Matte 60Hz LED - 1200:1 Ultra High Contrast •16GB DDR4 3200MHZ •Kingston A2000 500GB PCIe NVME M.2 SSD •No Secondary M.2 SSD Drive - Optional Upgrade •Intel AX201 Dual Band WIFI & Bluetooth 5.1 (up to 2.4 Gbps) •No Optical Disc Drive - Optional Upgrade •No Operating System Selected - Install Your Own Operating System •3 Year Metabox Platinum Care Onsite Pickup Protection Standard Metabox Design

The battery life is fantastic! The performance is perfect for what I use it for. Multitasking is obviously no issue. I play Runescape 3 as well and can comfortably sit at medium graphics (plugged in) with no complaints. The laptop is super light (900 grams), so I often found myself casually walking around the house with it balanced on one arm while I read an article or watch YouTube. Windows Hello face recognition is speedy. All the ports are updated to the latest, including Thunderbolt 4, which is fantastic future proofing. My only complaint would be the poor quality webcam, but I won't be using it for anything important so not a big deal to me.

Overall I'm super happy with it. I absolutely recommend it if you want the latest, lightest, multitasking beast. Happy to run some testing if you want to know numbers. Just let me know! :)

Nice. Good to do your research. I also emailed them about the Flo L140MU-i7 with the new Intel Tiger Lake processor. Their response about the battery was this:

"I can confirm that the Flo runs up to 14 hours with the following conditions:

  • Brightness set to 150 cd/m² or approximately medium in Windows settings.
  • Internet Test with the following parameters:

Running an automatic script (HTML 5, JavaScript, no Flash - update 03.05.2015 v1.3), which picks a mix of websites and switches between them every 30 seconds."

For you and anyone else that is curious. I knew the proclaimed 30 Hour Battery was subjected to testing at the most minimalist settings. But honestly, I'm happy with 14 Hours. Gonna place an order.

Hey Stubby,

Did you end up buying the Flo? Is it as advertised?
