    Can we replace the HDD with a SSD down the line if we want?

    • madfree on 02/11/2016 - 12:23

      Yes, and very easy done. Instead of taking off the full back cover, you only need to take a small cover off to access the HDD. Youtube will help.

      • hmac on 02/11/2016 - 19:15
        +1

        this is the e470, you have to take the whole cover off and its not that simple to take out the hdd

        • madfree on 02/11/2016 - 19:48

          I stand corrected. Sorry for the false information

        • hmac on 02/11/2016 - 19:51

          after you take off the back cover, there is a ribbon go through the top of the hdd and there is a heat protective covering glued to the hdd too. It can be done, just needs to be done carefully. Someone broke the ribbon holder from the last deal

          @hmtk: Page 79 of https://download.lenovo.com/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/e470_e470c_e4… describes how to remove/replace the hdd - doesn't sound too difficult…

    • Classo on 02/11/2016 - 16:15

      Does anyone know if all SSD fits in a laptop casing?

    • SAWEF on 02/11/2016 - 18:34
      +1

      Unfortunately its not easy. The HDD has heat protection cover which is stuck to a data cable. Its hard to remove cable from the heat protection cover without tearing. I thought if we tear the cover warranty may be void so in the end I did not replace with SSD.

          @illumination:

          I think my optimism/delusion got the better of me. The no operating system option feels like something that should be offered, but it is relatively uncommon.

    • GOB on 02/11/2016 - 16:16

      Word of warning to buyers, Lenovo have been changing their sales pretty regularly, I got caught out with an earlier sale last week by'sleeping on it' - if you want it, go get it.

  • GaelicAU on 02/11/2016 - 12:25
    +2

    Any advantage switching the 4G+4G RAM for the 8G stick ($0 to change)? I'm assuming it gives you the advantage of a spare slot for another 8G stick?

    As per OP, upgrading to the Full HD screen (1920x1080) with no other config changes is $708 when code added. $980 without code. Great post TA. +1

    • enzioFirenze on 02/11/2016 - 12:28

      yup, you can get another 8GB stick and shove it in, they are like 60 bucks now I think :)

      • GaelicAU on 02/11/2016 - 12:31

        Thanks. Just saw on the specs that it supports upto 32GB ram.

        Thanks.

        If that's the case wouldn't it be wiser to wait for an older model with say an i5 6th which i assume is a quad core?

        • xii4obear on 02/11/2016 - 13:40
          +3

          most mobile parts are ULV processors, would be dual core regardless of generation.

        • klumsybot on 02/11/2016 - 17:02

          I don't know of any quad core mobile i5, yet. Look for a q in the cpu model number to indicate a quad core mobile cpu.

        • klumsybot on 03/11/2016 - 00:58

          @klumsybot: My mistake, sorry. There are a slim number of i5-6####Q processors around, but they are rare.

      +2

      Same here. I have a 6 year old Acer and it's still okay (although a bit slow to start up).

      In all honesty I only use it now when I need to type out an extended email (too tiring for my thumbs on a smart phone) or to watch movies and the occasional game (think Civ4/5)….even though this sounds like a great deal I can't justify the upgrade when I don't REALLY need it :)

  • EzySatisfaction on 02/11/2016 - 12:28

    But some how I still don't have the cashreward cash back yet. That's nearly 4 weeks ago. Does it normally take that long? Any one having the same experience?? Thanks

    • matt-ozb on 02/11/2016 - 12:57

      I bought a thinkpad 13 in May 16.
      Appeared in cashrewards transactions in a few days or a week.
      Took about 3-4 months to get the cash.

  • baldur on 02/11/2016 - 12:29

    does it come with an international warranty as well?

    • dimagiba on 03/11/2016 - 13:08

      All Thinkpads should be covered by Lenovo's International Warranty Service. That's the main reason I got one from a few months back. I was able to avail of their service in Manila a couple of weeks ago. They use third party authorised service centres but they're quick to respond. Only took a day to fix since it didn't need part replacement.

      • battler on 02/11/2016 - 12:36

        yup.
        and would swapping to SSD void any warranty in inactivate windows (if done aftermarket not as part of checkout)?

        • magic8ballgag on 02/11/2016 - 12:43
          +5

          Windows 10 ties to the motherboard, so you'll be able to put in an SSD, perform a fresh reinstall of the operating system, and it should activate automatically.

          In terms of warranty, keep original HDD and if you ever need to return it or have it repaired, just switch it back over.

        • dimagiba on 03/11/2016 - 13:47

          If it helps, invoice date would be when it's shipped, not date or order/purchase. In my case, it was about a week or so from when I ordered.

    • matt-ozb on 02/11/2016 - 12:59

      out of curiosity, are you considering to bring back the laptop? so how does this work? can you bring the laptop back once you claimed GST?

      • Bacchus on 02/11/2016 - 13:21

        From the border.gov website:

        Bringing goods back into Australia for which you have already received a TRS refund.

        If you are aged 18 years or over, you can bring up to AUD 900 worth of goods into Australia duty-free, or AUD 450 if you are younger than 18. Families travelling together can pool this allowance (a couple with one child can bring in a total of AUD 900 + AUD 900 + AUD 450 = AUD 2250 worth of goods into Australia without paying duty or GST). This is called your passenger concession.
        If the total value of the goods you are bringing into Australia is greater than your passenger concession, including goods for which you have previously claimed a tax refund under TRS and any purchased overseas:
        you must declare all of these goods
        you will need to repay the GST refund back on the goods you claimed under the TRS
        duty and GST will apply to all items purchased, not just goods over the limit of your passenger concession.
        Penalties can apply if you don’t declare that you have goods in excess of your passenger concession.

      I it when it was on sale a few weeks ago. Tried to downgrade doing fresh install, a lot of the components don't have drivers for win 7. The only one I found was a wifi driver (had to go via hardware IDs). AFter finding that one, I decided it wasnt worth it and went back to clean win 10

      • alvian on 02/11/2016 - 15:09

        This may be the reason for the lack of Win 7/8 driver support. Both Intel Kaby Lake and AMD Zen are officially supported only by Windows 10.
