It's part of Lenovo's clearance sale, preparing for an updated lineup I guess. Also note that IdeaPad is Lenovo's consumer line, similar to Inspiron & XPS at Dell. These aren't ThinkPads so some might refuse to use them (WTF no trackpoint?!) Some of these IdeaPads are also sold in retail channel so you can take a look in shops. For example the same IdeaPad 710S at Harvey Norman.
Anyway, these are the laptops that are on sale with coupon code DEALS:
Ideapad 710S $1,199
- Intel Core i7-6500U
- 13.3" Full HD IPS
- 8GB RAM
- 256GB SSD PCIe
- 1.1kg
Surely Lenovo read this site and can understand that OzBargainers are desperate for a repeat of the T460S deal? I would have thought they would have wanted to clear them out given the specs are getting on a bit now. It's a nice laptop for $930 after cash rewards and would suit me perfectly. If they don't bring it back I'll have to go for a XPS15 from Dell outlet, but saving some money would be nice, and heard lots of good things about Lenovo T series.
