  • Alzori on 24/02/2016 - 20:26

    192Gb SSD? Where did they find such a thing?

    • justtoreply on 24/02/2016 - 20:36
      +2

      Somewhere after the 128 and before the 256.

      In reality though, they might have a hidden setup partition that uses some of the space and are also showing the usable rather than full space?

      • Alzori on 24/02/2016 - 20:48

        Fair call, but that's quite a large set of hidden partitions. The most I have seen is like 20GB.

        • ATangk on 24/02/2016 - 21:03
          +2

          They also have 200GB SSD's and then adding on recovery and stuff could make it like that.

        • justtoreply on 25/02/2016 - 00:39

          Yeah, agree, it still seems like a lot. That's why I said maybe they are showing usable space too. Who knows..

      • scotty on 24/02/2016 - 21:31

    Thanks mate, ordered one as my Vaio Pro 13 has just crapped out in the last fortnight and I am quickly realising that I can't live without a laptop.

      it should. you get an email that says your rewards are available.

    • LoungeLizard on 24/02/2016 - 21:27
      +4

      No, but it's the same as the inflated prices you pay for all RAM "upgrades" on phones etc. Luckily, for the vast majority of users 8gb will be enough

      • Agret on 24/02/2016 - 22:38
        +3

        Unlike a phone you can upgrade the memory in it

        According to this hardware manual it has 2 DIMMs
        http://mans.io/files/viewer/143556/69#navigate_bar

        So you can easily slap another 8gb in there to bump it up to 16gb

        • Blitzfx on 25/02/2016 - 00:29

          wouldn't it void warranty if you took the covers off to install it?

        • justtoreply on 25/02/2016 - 00:42
          +3

          @Blitzfx:

          Usually there's a user removable ram cover that means you don't have to open the whole thing up. If so, then no.

          Same with hard drives.

          But the more recent trend is to create ultrabooks etc, which are designed to be smaller, with the parts tending to be soldered together. You can't upgrade those.

          Nutshell: check before buying.

        • nuchalis on 25/02/2016 - 00:58

          Can you just buy another 8gb? I always thought it was best to buy RAM in pairs at the same time, but not sure why…

        • aussieprepper on 25/02/2016 - 04:33

          It is most likely 2 4 gigabyte sticks. Most companies usually pakage products this way!

        • Agret on 25/02/2016 - 11:41
          +1

          @nuchalis: yes you can. Usually best to buy in pairs so you have the same Mhz ram but if you just look up the serial on the ram chip when you open the laptop you should be able to find the speed of it and buy a 2nd one of the same speed.

        • Agret on 25/02/2016 - 11:43

          @Blitzfx: No, RAM and HDD upgrades don't void any warranties.

          A custom built desktop. Don't even bother trying to game on a laptop. Seriously you will regret spending all that money.

          The cash you save getting a performance gaming desktop compared to an overpriced laptop, you can spend on a cheaper laptop for the tasks you need it for.

          To be honest I wanted the laptop for rough-cut video editing while travelling, I've never had a non-work laptop (ie non-junk!) and I've heard folk say just get a gaming laptop to get enough power. But maybe this Lenovo might do it, I don't know! Thoughts?

        what sites in particular do you guys go to compare?

    • tanksinatra on 26/02/2016 - 11:26

      It plays games from the past few years on the lowest (or near-lowest) settings quite well (source: personal experience). Won't play brand new AAA games such as Fallout 4. Older games run well.

      Interestingly, given that the chips used both support DX12 there is the potential that the AMD and intel graphics could be combined to boost fps in some games.

    • [Deactivated] on 25/02/2016 - 08:14

      What do you mean not a great deal! It IS a great deal! The price includes shipping, and on top of that has cashrewards at 8% (that's a solid $71 right there).
      It's being upvoted because it is a GREAT DEAL. For OzB's, it all comes down to one thing: price. If it's a good price, we upvote. If it's a bad price we downvote. Pretty simple isn't it?
      I get the feeling you have a bone to stash with TA and CR: "posted by a popular member but who works for a dodgy business CR". You insulted both TA and CR in the same sentence, if that's not personal then I don't know what is.
      If you're a good community member then you won't go making personal attacks against other users.
      What is your basis for calling CR a "dodgy business"? I've only seen honest dealings by them, and helpful, good deals from TA. You have no right to be attacking them. Don't ruin your reputation like this.
      Go and apologise to TA for attacking him and CR for no reason and for defaming the great company that is CR. It's the least you could do.
      This is the sort of pathetic behaviour I'm seeing more often on OzB, people resorting to pathetic attacks and personal hatred to make a point. We're grown ups, let's act like grown ups.

  • [Deactivated] on 24/02/2016 - 22:10

    I have to agree with the concerns of some others… seems like a conflict of interest TA is posting deals that are $2 cheaper using his "code" and also gets to plug cashrewards, a company he now works for.

    • Moderatorscotty on 24/02/2016 - 23:37

      Please note that when TA placed the Cashrewards link at the bottom of the post, our system automatically marked this deal as "Referrer", which the referral posting limit would be imposed — similar to store rep posting limits. There are plenty merchants posting deals on OzBargain — some of them are worthless and are automatically throttled/banned when their deals don't receive votes from our users. However many other merchants are adding value to the community here. TA representing Cashrewards is no different.

      • [Deactivated] on 25/02/2016 - 08:17

        I beg to differ sorry, other merchants don't work for companies that are affiliated with the supplier and receive a commission from each sale like in this situation.

          You are free to block any future posts from TA, unless you're actually sticking around just to complain.

          other merchants don't work for companies that are affiliated with the supplier and receive a commission from each sale like in this situation.

          Other merchants don't give as good a deal.

          $888 minus 8% cashback is $816.

          Can you point out a deal that's cheaper than that?

          Who benefits? We do. That's what matters to me. If it's a good deal, it gets a vote. This site is about bargains, and this is a bargain.

          Also, you are unhappy because other merchants "don't work for companies that are affiliated with the supplier, and receive a commission from each sale".
          Does that mean all rep posts should be banned? Their company is clearly affiliated with the supplier (they're a customer!), and the company clearly earns profit from each sale.

        I promised myself I'd hold off responding to some of the comments in this thread, but I just can't do it with this one. What you're suggesting is that the cheapest price in Australia for this laptop is no deal and deserves a negative vote because I posted it? I'm blown away by your thought process and the fact you've been around here for 6 years concerns me even more. I'd like an explanation of how you believe there's a conflict of interest in my deals. Is it the fact I work at CR, which I've explained in detail via the forums? Is it the fact I go out of my way to approach stores to find you the best & cheapest deals around? Or is it just pure jealousy and hatred towards me? Which ever one it is, just remember one thing - you scour these pages for deals, that's what OzBargain is for, and unless you can find a product that I post for cheaper, please refrain from making ridiculously uneducated comments and try for once to maybe post a bargain yourself. Enjoy your day.

          Relax, no need for the ad hominems.

          I wish you well at Cash Rewards and hopefully your energy and initiative is recognised by management there, so that your career advances.
