    Damn I wish I waited for this deal.

      Previous e470 deal is still really good compared to this. The i7 6500 is on par with the i5 7200 and the dedicated graphics isnt even that good.

          @Clear:

          Not sure why it didn't show up for Tiggrrrrr anyways, I remember clicking to CR nearly immediately after the deal was posted (maybe 1-2 minutes), and code showed up for me. Quite trivial anyways, lets just accept that you'll get cashback as the code is listed and get back to discussing the deal.

          @lyl: I probably jumped the gun as I clicked literally seconds after deal was posted (I have been trying to get a better laptop for my nephew).

          As soon as Clear pointed it out and I hit refresh it came up with the voucher code. I'm happy he pointed it out because I got an extra 7% back! Well in 60days I assume.

      It's good value, but to get something of graphic design and gaming standard, you may have to spend double.
      Weight starts from 1.9kg, which is not too bad. Being business grade, it is more likely to survive being carried around a lot.

      Yes, odd degree. Being in the software/IT industry, I recommend your daughter ensures her degree has employment at the end of it. Everyone wants to do gaming nowadays, but few are lucky enough to make a career out of it.

        Difference will also be closer to $100 if you factor in cashback. As a student I prefer the smaller screen, so it's not a 'no-brainer' and depends on the needs of the user.

      Battery life 9 hours.

          It should be something you can do yourself. I do not know if they are using 2 x 4Gb and taking up both sockets though. If this is the case (which it usually is), then you will need to buy 2 x 8Gb DIMMs. It's about $70 per DIMM. It's likely you can just replace 1 of them to get 12Gb RAM as well.

      I don't see how having a business will make a difference; the question is that are you going to be going everywhere with your laptop? If so, go for xps since it has a much longer battery life.

      Otherwise, the e460 is sufficient.

    Remember, Lenovo has malware that even a fresh install can't remove. One they had last year allowed not just them, but anyone, to read your personal information on sites they claimed were secure.

    I recommend not buying any of their products under any circumstances.

        Gonna copy and paste my response.

        It's not a maleware, but rather adware

        Anything that compromises the security of your device for the company's profit is malware. It's adware AND malware.

        Also, if they "stopped" activating Superfish, great, but why should we trust them? They've done it once, they'll be happy to screw us again to make a buck.

        Sure, it might not be called 'Superfish', it might be something different, it might not even be software next time but backdoors in the hardware. But Lenovo has compromised user security for short term profit, and for that they should permanently lose everyone's trust. This wasn't some bug in software, it was something they added on purpose, that worked by allowing anyone to alter and read the content of HTTPS pages. Whether they knew that or were just negligent, it's unacceptable.

        Hell, the fact that it had adware, security aside, should be a big enough problem.

    • Associatedragz9123 @ Lenovo on 08/12/2016 - 09:11

    I want to like this deal but can't.

    I've been over in Canada visiting my brother and since I've been here the calibre of deals has been far superior.

    You can find all the below on redflagdeals a similar website to ozbargain over here

    Lenovo E470 - i3-7100U/8GB/1080P IPS/Intel HD 620/256GB SSD $577 or I7 with GTX 940MX for ~$700
    Lenovo E570 - i5-7200U/8GB/1080P IPS/Intel HD 620/256GB SSD $535 or I7 with GTX 950m for ~$700
    Dell Inspiron i5559 i5 -6200/8GB/1080P/Intel 530/1TB $499
    Dell Alienware 15 R3 - i7 6700HQ/8GB/1080P IPS/GTX 1070/1TB ~$1500 after coupons and cash back!!! I know they have heat issues and light bleed but damn….

    Similar population, CAD vs AUD almost 1 for 1. we're closer to China so what's the go Dell and Lenovo?

    You guys get some great deals for us on OzBargain and I highly doubt this would be bargaining power but it's nice to dream :D

    • Nvidia Fxxk You on 08/12/2016 - 10:19

    • IamEzza on 08/12/2016 - 23:05

        The i7's are inclusive of tax as was the Alienware.

        My bro bought an Alienware R3 with a quad core 6700hq and a 1070 GPU for $1500 after tax and rebates (Ebates similar to cashrewards). The same machine in Oz is $3,300, or without the sale that just finished roughly $2,500 (inc tax) here at the moment. That's a huge difference…

        I should of included tax for the i3's and i5's but even with tax there is no comparison.

    • scotty on 08/12/2016 - 13:11

      No one bothered to reply because it's pretty much done and dusted last year. If you are talking about the Superfish incident,

      1. It's not a maleware, but rather adware
      2. It's not affecting ThinkPads, but IdeaPads and other consumer-grade laptops
      3. Lenovo stopped activating Superfish after news breakout last year, and have released an open source removal tool.

      See Lenovo's statements on it.

      As of Lenovo Service Engine ("BIOS rootkit as Techdirt claimed"), here's Lenovo's statement. Again,

      1. It never affected ThinkPads. Only IdeaPads.
      2. BIOS updates from Lenovo removes/deactivates this "feature".

      Note that most Lenovo deals on OzBargain are ThinkPads, their business laptops, and have never had these issues in the first place. Also, instead of asking the community (or the store rep, who probably works for the marketing department rather than engineering), you can easily google the information and do your own research.
