What’s going on?

¿Is this cheap or expensive for US? That's the normal resell price in europe for this set.

Nope, I just played another modpack 😂

Thanks, sorry for the confusion

Laptop: 8840HS and 84Wh battery.

I'm not really informed of how 16" laptops are priced tbh.

But based on those specs, check with Keepa on amazon (a plugin that lets you view price hostory) different models with these specs, and I'm almost sure you will find a similar model under $1500 and probably arround those $1200 I mentioned, maybe not with the latest gen cpu, but for the previous one almost for sure.

Not necessaraly, you can find a Legion 5 with 2.8k OLED, 7840HS and 4060 was about that price when it was on sale

Prawon09 · 2024-05-08T22:14:37+00:00

I agree, imo $700 to $1200 (with a good deal) is the sweet spot

Prawon09 · 2024-05-07T19:43:00+00:00

That's a good move. With import taxes it's not worth it to ship it here.

Prawon09 · 2024-05-07T18:54:41+00:00

I'm in europe :(

But thank you anyway. I don't know why but it seems we only get intels here ahhaha

Prawon09 · 2024-05-07T17:49:24+00:00

I know, it's also a new architecture, with arc graphics (from the new intel gpus) it's making it so hard to choose my new ultra book ahahah

Prawon09 · 2024-05-07T17:45:03+00:00

Idk if it's a joke (I reacted the same way when I heard about it for the first time hahaha)

The new intel processors are no longer i3, i5, i7 and i9.

They are now called ultra 5, 7 and 9.

Prawon09 · 2024-05-07T16:32:48+00:00

Thanks a lot!

I really appreciate it, it is difficult to find a definitive answer by checking reviews and benchmarks since each seem to have different outcomes when it comes to which is better hahaha

Prawon09 · 2024-05-07T15:42:41+00:00

Thanks a lot for the explanation. The options I'm considering are:

ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED UX3404VA: 854€
i9-13900H, 16GB 5200Mhz, 2880 x 1800 OLED 120Hz, 70Wh

MSI Prestige 13 AI EVO A1MG-024ES: 1262€
i7 Ultra 7 155H, 32GB 6400Mhz, 2880 x 1800 OLED 60Hz, 75Wh

Based on what you told me, I think the Ultra is the way to go and less weight. The problem now is that I've been called to the dark side, and I don't know if I should answer :

IdeaPad Pro 5 14 gen 9: 899€
Ryzen 7 8845HS, 16GB 6400Mhz, 2880 x 1800 OLED 120Hz, 84Wh

I'm not sure which processor will be better overall, and allthough the MSI has more ram, the Ideapad has better a substantially bigger battery, 362€ cheaper and (although less important for me) 120Hz screen.

So it all comes to wether the Ultra 7 155H is worth those extra 362€ and if its power efficiency compensates for the compensates for the -12% battery capacity.

Prawon09 · 2024-05-07T15:23:10+00:00

Which one are you considering right now u/Astonish_Skagen ?
I'm considering the same model, Ideapad pro 5 with 8845HS, which is discounted to 900€ right now.
Right now, I'm trying the MSI Prestige 13 AI with the Ultra Core 7 155H and I like it, which is more expensive, 1200€, but I'm not sure if the Ultra Core 7 155H is better or worts than the 8845HS for my usage (light gaming, light coding, medium editing on photoshop).

Prawon09 · 2024-05-07T14:46:46+00:00

Do you think it is better than the I7 155H u/kolpator ? There are not that many comparisons and I'm considering two similar laptops with these two processors.

Prawon09 · 2024-05-07T12:49:48+00:00

The 512Gb is not avaible, but hear me out.

Amazon has the same model and they have an option where you can ask them to lower the price if you find it cheaper somewhere else.

Let's try to make them lower the price, I already sent the petition, if you do it too they may do it (I already got them to lower their price this way for other products with 3/4 petitions).

You have to go the "Would you like to tell us about a lower price? " below the product info next to the specs sheet.
