Very strange that upgrading this to max doesn't add to the price, all the other models are adding up normally if you try upgrading.

Awesome if they honour this

    - tightarse on 18/07/2016 - 13:32
      
      Even though you get a tracking email, you may not cashback for this as the coupon is not on the Cashrewards website. Lenovo may change your pending payment to declined once they consolidate their sales.
    - teasatotalling on 18/07/2016 - 16:13

      @yoyomablue:
      
      I thought all Lenovo purchases via Cash Rewards get cash back?
      
      Correct, as long as (1) there's no coupon involved or (2) the coupon is listed on the Cashrewards website.
      
      If you use a coupon not listed on CR, cashback may not be payable as per the terms on our site. See this screenshot…
    - teasatotalling on 18/07/2016 - 17:12
      
      @tightarse: ok. 'Fine print'
    - tightarse on 18/07/2016 - 17:32
      
      @yoyomablue:
      
      'Fine print'
      
      I've tried to make this as clear as possible in many posts. You need to remember, it's not a CR ruling, but a store ruling. They're the ones that decide whether they will pay cashback on top of a further coupon discount. The use of unpublished coupons is a prime reason members' transactions change from a 'pending' amount to 'declined'.
icecream on 18/07/2016 - 12:09

Thanks awesome deal.

I am also surprised max out the spec doesn't cost more.
Ntr0py on 18/07/2016 - 12:10

ChickenTalon on 18/07/2016 - 12:56

Great find OP. Fingers crossed they honour it. Would be $1,996 without discounting
1199 + i7($200) + WinPro($100) + 1080p($131) + 16Gb($200) + SSD($149) + wirelessupgrade($17)

Cash rewards -> TRS = $745 = Cheering

However, I think the odds are low of this actually being delivered.
- ozbjunkie on 19/07/2016 - 19:07
  
  Reading your breakdown I'd bet money against then honouring this.
tukanglistrik on 18/07/2016 - 13:01

Why oh why it doesn't work with the other models…

But hey, cracker of a deal if it goes through

"Windows 7 Professional 64 preinstalled through downgrade rights in Windows 10 Pro"
Does this mean it does have Win 10 Pro in the background as well? Or do you need to manually upgrade it to Windows 10 Pro?
- guidedlight on 18/07/2016 - 13:08

  This means that it will arrive with Windows 7 Pro installed; however it is fully licensed for Windows 10 Pro (so you won't have to pay to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro at a later date)

  720p gaming it might just be okay with everything on low setting.
  
  But on latest AAA games expect low 20fps which is not playable imo.
  
  Save yourself coin and get a desktop if you want to play games.
cloudy on 18/07/2016 - 13:17

Do u guys think this is cheaper than trying to build a desktop with similar specs? I have a feeling so, but want ozb input as always!
- garage sale on 18/07/2016 - 14:59
  
  No, desktop comes with full blown processor laptops come with mobile processor and you get bigger screen with desktop.
- ozbjunkie on 19/07/2016 - 19:10
  
  Def not. No such thing as a gaming laptop, they all kinda suck. Building desktop is easy, we or whirlpool will help you :)
  
  PS most shops will install components for you for a fee if you're not confident, but you have to buy the parts from them. I used IJK in sydney for my first build. 4 solo builds since then.
unity1 on 18/07/2016 - 13:19

Thanks OP. Worth a try. I paid by PayPal but the transaction has not yet been processed by Lenovo. Do they only process your payment once your order is completed and ready for dispatch?

marty141 on 18/07/2016 - 22:18

Don't worry- I got in an order 1 min before it expired but I'm almost certain it won't be honoured. Lenovo has a long history of using 'bait and switch' tactics and have not honoured their originally advertised offers; rather they offer some shitty discount in an attempt to appease those who have their orders cancelled. The language in the order confirmation is full of loopholes and this article provides a lot of information about what will likely happen:

I wouldnt be surprised, if they really honour it. The upgrades are ridiculously overpriced. Lenovo wants 2000$, where you can get similar notebooks for 1300. 900$ is still a lot of money, sure, they dont make profit, but their loss is also minimal. Probably still cheaper to send them out than to have 200 angry customers, who swear never to buy Lenovo again…

  I too am applying wishful thinking.
- guidedlight on 19/07/2016 - 13:59
  
  If you look at the previous deals for this notebook model on OzBargain, there are similar specs to this one for maybe $100-$200 more. The only real plus with this particular deal is the SSD and Win10 Pro upgrade. I'm guessing they are considering letting this go through. It probably depends on how many laptops were actually ordered.
  
  I'm sure selling this laptop will be a loss for Lenovo. But I'm quietly confident.
