      No USB-C or DisplayPort, so connectivity wise it comes up a bit short. Then again, nobody uses these and I'd say the SD card reader and Ethernet port make up for it in spades.

    Specs are good, and I'm happy that Lenovo is continuing to produce laptops with removable/replaceable batteries - something that should be standard in all enterprise-grade or "pro" laptops IMHO.

      This isn't a "business" laptop.

      It's cheap and entry level. Most businesses that use Lenovo buy the T series (Thinkpads). Some of them have removable batteries, but most don't because the battery life is already very high (10+ hours). The internal battery is also easily replaced if the wear level is getting high.

        • garvani on 07/11/2016 - 13:55

          this particular i7 is entry level. might pay to look at the specs as not all i7's are created equally. This one is a dual core i7.. some 4 year old i5s will handily beat this

        • mily on 07/11/2016 - 14:34
          +5

          The whole E series are entry level, designed as entry level, priced as entry level and built as entry level. Inserting an i7 doesn't change anything else, and a dual core i7 with number 500 at the end belongs to entry level too, maybe a tad better than other entry level i5 and i3, but still one of the weakest i7.
          I have no idea why he got down votes for stating a fact.

    I would pull the trigger on this, my question is, how noticable is it to go from a 17.3 down to 15.6, especially this model. Oh and the cooling, what's the cooling like in lenovo products?

    • [Deactivated] on 07/11/2016 - 14:16

      you might want to look at the 15.6 Y series laptop. No SSD but it's a UHD screen which will fit more real estate on the screen. It is an extra 200$ but using cashrewards you should get about $80 back on top. Roughly 1320$ after cashrewards.

      I'm not sure if you can replace the HDD with an SSD in these things.

      Anyone know?

      I believe the CPU in the Y series gets a much higher benchmark score than this processor too. It also has a 4gb gfx card.

    Can any techies give me their thoughts.
    Seems the Y50 laptop at $1399 is a better deal?
    It's a 1TB HDD vs the SSD on this thing, but the GPU appears better and the CPU is faster. It also has a UHD screen.
    Could the HDD be replaced with an SSD down the road? The CPU benchmark is much higher on the 4700 processor. Is that important ?
    Here is the Y50
    http://www3.lenovo.com/au/en/clearance-sale/LenovoY50-70AMBK…

    Obviously there's still approx $300 difference between the two but is the Y50 a better overall buy?

    Thanks!

    • tightarse on 07/11/2016 - 14:31

          The CPU on the Y50, although 2 generations older is much faster due to it being quad core vs dual core (total 8 due to hyperthreading). I'd get the Y50 and replace the HDD down the road.

    • Janko on 07/11/2016 - 17:17

    Is this a decent gamimg/business laptop?

    • c0balt on 07/11/2016 - 14:51
      +1

      950m was average over a year ago, it's really average now.

      This is also a dual core which for $1000+ in a heavy 15" form factor is very expensive.

      It can game, but the 1060 is more than 4x as powerful and can be found in laptops for a lot less extra $$$ for the increase in performance you will get (fps/dollar ratio).

      The specs here are worse than the Dell Inspiron 7559 which sold for around the same price a year ago.

      • imurgod on 07/11/2016 - 15:01

        Appreciate your advice. Any recommendations?

      • farfromparadise on 07/11/2016 - 16:22

        Any links to better "gaming / light gaming" laptops for about the same price or under 1K?

        • klaw81 on 07/11/2016 - 16:36
          +1

          This is about the level of gaming performance you can expect for a laptop sub-$1000, unless you find a super special. 950M is good enough for medium details and 40fps in modern AAA games at 1080p, and quite a bit better if you dial it back to 720p.

          The next step up from this model is probably the Acer Nitro and Inspiron 7559 (quad-core CPU rather than dual core, and 960M rather than 950M) but price jumps to $1200+. Lenovo offer the Y50 with similar spec but starts at $1400.

          Laptops with current-generation GPU (ie GTX1060 or better) will have much higher gaming performance but start at around $2k.

        • c0balt on 08/11/2016 - 10:31

          @klaw81:

          950m just can't cut it for 1080p even at medium details in modern games - it has trouble cracking 40fps on medium details even at 1366x768 on many even older titles as benchmarked in the link below.
          http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-950M.138026.…

          It would be great for esports type games and extra GPU grunt for video editing/encoding, just very hard to recommend to someone who wants a gaming machine and this would be their only GPU or to someone who wants good price/performance.

          In addition there are 1060 powered laptops for cheaper than $2000. Below is an i7 6700HQ (leaps and bounds ahead of the 7500U) with 16GB DDR4, 1060, 512GB SSD(!!!) and heaps more for $1800. It doesn't come with windows, but $25 and a reddit account fixes that.
          https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/263055

          I'm leaning towards vote manipulation or a really uninformed community base with a hard on for certain posters for this deal to have been upvoted so highly. It's a bog standard Lenovo with no trim - about as far away from a status symbol or powerhouse as possible but has a price that reflects it should be something more.

        • klaw81 on 08/11/2016 - 11:04
          +1

          @c0balt: I agree that it's not a great gaming laptop, if you're a gaming enthusiast. But it's about as good as you can expect for around $1000 - 15" 1080p screens are still rare in sub-$1000 laptops, and even more so with SSD, discrete GPU and 16GB RAM.

          That's an absolutely spectacular deal on the Metabox machine, but it's WAY more expensive than most people are willing to spend on a laptop so it's exclusively for gaming enthusiasts. It's a very different group of people to those who are looking at this deal.

          I don't agree with your concerns about vote manipulation or an uninformed community, just a bunch of people with very different priorities and budgets. This is not a spectacular deal, but it's certainly a lot better than you'd ever get at your local Harvey Norman. In summary, a very decent laptop for general use, and capable of a bit of casual gaming on the side.

      • Wonderfool on 07/11/2016 - 16:36

        Hold up, where the hell did you get that price from? I can't even find the inspiron at anywhere near $1200, unless I decide to import it from the states.

        • klaw81 on 07/11/2016 - 19:46

          Either significant discounts (eg. eBay 20% sales) or from the Dell Outlet

        • c0balt on 08/11/2016 - 10:28

          There's been many listings for that model on this site over the last year, here's one for ~$1100 with a quad core i5 and 960m GT.
          https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/257923

          Note the RAM is easily expandable and has an empty M2. SSD slot, so for a little extra cash it can be a pretty damn good machine (if not best price/performance still) nearly a year after release.

        • klaw81 on 08/11/2016 - 11:49

          @c0balt: Agreed, it's a very nice machine for relatively cheap and with some easy upgrades, it punches well above its weight. I got a refurb from the Dell Outlet for $900 so even with an extra 8GB RAM and a M.2 SDD it's still under $1100.

    • Perth027 on 08/11/2016 - 14:55

      It's a bad business grade laptop not near the build quality of the X/T/ P series of ThinkPads.

      It's a below average gaming laptop with only a 950M, which is adequate to run some modern day games on low-medium setting, but IMO a 960M would have been a far better option, and you could actually call it a dedicated gaming laptop.

      It's a high end consumer grade laptop… That's what it is.

  • nubzy on 07/11/2016 - 14:39

    Any recommendations for a good laptop which isn't too bulky, doesn't get too hot and is good for photo/video editing and some gaming? Would prefer a SSD and preferably a UHD screen too, but no big deal if they don't have it. Though this is quite tempting at $1111, especially after cash rewards. Have been using a 7 year old Samsung laptop which is starting to slow down. Hopefully LENOVO will have some big bargains during the OzBargain sale especially for us.

    • niner on 07/11/2016 - 15:10

      You need to spend over $2000 for that type of computer.

      Dell Xps15 is probably your best bet.

    • fenixforeva on 08/11/2016 - 10:30

      The price and specs are indeed tempting, that's the lure about it. I believe this will be good enough for editing and some gaming(low-med settings). However I have been looking at metabox laptops and you are definitely going to get more bang for you buck there for around 2000. I have not found anyone that comes close to these guys, feel free to prove me wrong. Although at this point its a matter of preference.

      The cons about it would be weight though, the XPS 15 would be a good option if you want portability.

    I know I will be downvoted for this. But I'll still be blunt. And for the record I am using a ThinkPad X220 still, a 2011 laptop-

    As everyone else said this is nowhere near a classic ThinkPad build quality. You would be getting a sheep (IdeaPad) in a wolf's clothing (ThinkPad) if you are strictly after a business grade not just a medium range consumer grade laptop. The build quality of this is very flimsy much like any other medium end consumer grade laptop that just happens to have a ThinkPad branding and a track point. And AFAIK Lenovo doesn't claim military grade testing for the E series that it does so proudly for the X and the T models.

    Only look into the X, T and P (formerly W) series if you are after a business grade ThinkPad that is build to last. These series were started by IBM and still carry some of the quality from the golden IBM days.

    Otherwise you are better off getting a consumer grade laptop without paying without paying an excess just for the ThinkPad logo. Same applies for the ThinkPad 13/ L / Yoga series.

      When my delivery started showing December 12, cancelled it straight away, plus these rats charged my debit card twice ($1111 each time) saying authorization lasts only four days but bank was still holding on to my money. Still waiting for my refund of $708 for another order i cancelled at the beginning of last month. Lenovo simply wont refund, Better to stay away from these rats in my opinion
