    I know its been a long time since I used to build PC-s but jesus christ that seems like an insane price for those specs. Bear in mind the best GFX card was 9800ti back in my days.

    I know its a laptop not a pc but still.

    • shawnsmaggot on 21/03/2017 - 15:48

      Yep, I work in IT every day but I must admit I hadn't so much as more than glanced at laptop specs/prices in the last couple of years. Did a bit of research recently for a family member's laptop and a client's laptop and the prices are crazy low these days!

      Decent low-ish end business grade Lenovo's can be had for $1300…used to be hard to find anything decent under $2000

      Keep in mind the 7500u is only a dual core. Any desktop i5 or even i3 could beat it.

      • Kill Joy on 21/03/2017 - 15:54

        how can they get away with calling it an i7 when its a dualcore?

        • Yuri Lowell on 21/03/2017 - 16:04
          +4

          There are variants. HQ is the quad core and U is the low performance variants. 7500U is the fastest in the U variants hence they called it i7. It's pretty confusing to the average consumer though. The U series is typically found in smaller laptops that have long battery life.

        • infra on 21/03/2017 - 16:06
          +3

          Intel made the specs for i7 so I guess they can call it what they want? :)

          http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/article/386100/what_difference…

          They call it an i7 as its faster than a dual core i5 or i3 in that class (ULV)

          @Yuri Lowell:
          Funny thing is im fairly technically inclined and am well aware of technology.

          You'd assume:
          i3 = dual core
          i5 = quad core
          i7 = quad core hyperthreaded /octa core

          this is what they did with the original release, why chang ethat and mislead people.

          @Kill Joy:

          Thats assuming you are looking at the desktop line.

          They used a similar numbering convention with the 6th generation i7 mobile processors which were dual core hyper threaded:
          https://ark.intel.com/products/88194/Intel-Core-i7-6500U-Pro…

          That same generation used the same naming conventions of this current generation for the quad core HT mobile processors with HQ added (and 45W TDP vs 15W for the U):
          https://ark.intel.com/products/88967/Intel-Core-i7-6700HQ-Pr…

          Its all in the manufacturers specifications. Not defending Intel's naming conventions but they have a ridiculous number of SKU's. The system builders could help by specifying the number of cores next to the processor name perhaps.

          At least the lettering has been largely the same between processor generations :)

          @Kill Joy: I look for the Q in the CPU name if I want quad core, although I am sure it's not a given that you'll be getting Quad core with that approach. They've probably changed it since

          A statement of fact is not liable to be deemed offensive, an inconvenient truth perhaps. In the same vein I can say all abrahamic religions are merely rehashed & miscontrued fables cooked up by nomadic tribes & not cause offence, or that Mohammed was a pedophile warlord who slept with an eight year old…

          My advice, don't heed what others are saying if it doesn't suit your worldview. Taking offence is a waste of your time & effort, don't bother with it. Trying to police other people's deeds is a big enough job for our government & authorities, thoughts and words should be kept out of it.

          @justin_tsoi: You wouldn't because it is just standard vernacular we are talking about. And further, I have said "Oh my Buddha" in Thailand and nobody even misses a beat. They say it themselves. And they are very devout. Why do Christians get so defensive SOME Old Testament rules and not ALL of them? Do you get equally upset if I suggest we throw a shrimp on the barbie?

        • infra on 22/03/2017 - 11:07

          @Sir Casm:

          I understand what your saying. The problem is that it was not a statement of fact. It was a use of God's name (or if you dont believe in God then a person who is held in high esteem by many people in the world) in a way that was not respectful to Him. Therefore offence IS given to those who believe in Jesus Christ or who hold him in high esteem.

          If a gay person is in the room and I describe an item that has broken as 'this thing is so homo' am I using homo in a way that they would like? Or am I using 'homo' to describe a useless inanimate object and thereby giving them offence?

        • infra on 22/03/2017 - 11:15

          @Risto:

          "And further, I have said "Oh my Buddha" in Thailand". Thats nice.

          Christians believe that the 10 commandments are still God's law and therefore must be upheld. The rules they were given in the old testament are different than the law.

          Why can someone say OMFG (the extended version not the acronym) or JFC and expect a Christian not to get offended? Why do they need to use God's name at all if they dont believe in Him?

          If someone says anything anti gay they are crucified by everyone but you mention anything against the Bible and what Christians believe and thats considered OK?

        • [Deactivated] on 22/03/2017 - 13:16

          @infra:

          I get your position as well mate, but it's the state of society which governs what language is deemed "offensive" or otherwise. Whereas previously exclaiming "Jesus Christ" would make women faint and draw gasps of horror is now common parlance, and conversely using what we now consider racial and sexual epithets were pronounced freely and unashamedly. The tables have, for better or worse, turned and now more than ever the language police are out in force, particularly online, to try and control what is said. Don't take it personally, it usually isn't meant to be so, but if it is, taking offence means the offending party wins. Cop it on the chin & resolve to not engage with persons who conduct themselves like that. No sense wasting time on idiots.

        • [Deactivated] on 22/03/2017 - 14:47

          @infra: Your Christian beliefs make you think you must follow the commandments of the Old Testament. You just have to follow Jesus my dear brother. If you want to get all Old Testament on this, then you will be so anti-gay and so anti-shrimp and so anti multi-fabric jocks. God told Abraham to violate God's own law and kill his son in order to prove his faith. Clearly laws come and go. But Jesus' sacrifice was enough. Go with it, free yourself. And take a moment to think how the poor people who use Jesus Christ as a form of exclamation feel when righteous and infinitely fallible Christians start chastising them.

        • infra on 22/03/2017 - 16:08

          @Risto:

          Dude your missing the entire point. You intentionally focusing trying to make out that its because I believe and that what I believe is wrong therefore I shouldnt be offended by what people say.

          The point is there ARE Christians and a lot of them that believe that God's Name should not be taken in vain. Just because YOU dont care or think other people should care doesnt mean you should intentionally try to offend them. Adding in silly things like shrimp on the bbq which I've already told you I dont care about and the jocks comments… I mean really?

          Just because people feel like they can use God's Name however they like doesnt mean I should keep quiet about it. I can raise the point in a nice enough way so they can try not to in future. I dont presume that I do everything right or that I'm not sinful. To say that I'm chastising someone else is a bit extreme mate.

          Your obviously confused in what you believe or what you think Christians believe. Perhaps you should read the links I posted earlier properly?

          Thanks for adding your piece to this but I think your just trying to provoke me with your comments so I'll just ignore any further posts.

          Cheers

        • [Deactivated] on 22/03/2017 - 17:47

          @infra: You can raise points and so can others that oppose them. There are numerous people who found no offence with the exclamation. You called it profanity. You are the one who feels compelled to follow God's laws of the Old Testament. Jocks of multi-fabrics would be included in the laws. Gays also. I am not totally confused about what Christians believe, I reckon they believe every word in the Bible and then find ways to reconcile the angry God in the Old Testament with the loving God of the New. Anyway, point being, many people are NOT offended and that is why the expression has found its way into modern parlance. So you should respect them (like almost everyone else did) also. Have a great day.

      Selecting "16GB(8+8) DDR4-2133MHz SODIMM" rather than 1 stick at 2400MHz gets the price down to $965, if getting it under $1000 is a deal maker for you. That's cheap!

        That assertion is incorrect. You can still use Cashrewards to get cashback with generic Lenovo coupon code. As of Dell XPS 13, while it appears Dell does not offer cashback via cashback sites, you can get cashback from purchases at Dell's eBay store.

        Having dealt with both Dell & Lenovo's digital marketing department personally, I'll say Lenovo is far more aggressive in sending out offers, which explains why you see more Lenovo deals on OzBargain.

      Looks like this one has a (very marginally) better video chip too
      http://gpuboss.com/gpus/GeForce-GTX-950M-vs-GeForce-940MX

      But the battery is weaker
      this 4-cell Cylindrical (41 Wh) (Up to 8 hours (MobileMark 2014))
      then 6-cell Polymer (45 Wh) (Up to 10 hours (MobileMark 2014))

      and I couldn't find a replacement battery for the e570 (is it replaceable?)

      and there is no option for bigger battery

      FWIW, this one is a bit cheaper than the last time it was on special (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/271124).

          @Sergito89: they are USD

          https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/297345#comment-4527497 for the apple

          https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/297488 for surface Pro 4

          Thats what i have. I love it. Only think i hate is when you connect to multi screens or projectors the font and resolution goes weird forcing u to sign out and back in.

          Overall i rate it for business use and simple cad just no intensive stuff. Also explorer and edge are crap and lag with video embedded sites. Works great with chrome though

        Do you recommend any reoccurring laptop deals like this?

  • Jupitarian on 21/03/2017 - 16:17

    I am tempted but I am holding for a good deal for a desktop with similar specifications to replace my current desktop which is getting quite old. A number of good to excellent deals on laptops seen in OzBargain in the last 3-4 months but not much regarding desktops around that price bracket ($700 - $1300). I guess the popularity of the desktops is waning fast but I still like the flexibility they provide with regards to internal hard drive configurations (SSD + HDD).

      Almost certainly going to be cheaper to just buy parts and put them together yourself. No?

    Nowadays, this kind of 2kg+ laptop is really in a awful position, can not compete with iPad with portability, can not compete with decent desktop for comfortable usage.

    • skeptik on 21/03/2017 - 16:58

      ??? totally different form factor and platform types.
      A more informed comparison would be iPed v android or win tablet. Macbooks v laptops. Macs v Pc desktops etc.

        For a " normal " user, only need two devices, portable or powerful. Not every one likes to try everything then decide.

    • Viper8 on 22/03/2017 - 16:37

      And if I want portable performance?
      A tablet (and even an ultrabook) won't cut it for workstation and gaming applications, and surely you're not implying I cart my PC and all its peripherals around with me?

  • AMLagonda on 21/03/2017 - 17:55

    I thought this was amazing but then I read dual core….

    Still a great price :)

    Hey guys long time lurker have a question. Would these specs be enough to play fps games like black Ops 3,battlefield 1 in mid settings? Ta

  • thepigs on 21/03/2017 - 18:30

    after one like this but don't need optical drive, would prefer bigger battery instead & touchscreen?

  • Vhope07 on 21/03/2017 - 18:43

    How does this compare to the dell posted on OB?

    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/298237

    This has 256G SSD vs 1TB HDD on the Dell.
    The screen is slightly smaller.

    what else?

    • Yuri Lowell on 21/03/2017 - 19:14

      Dell has a backlit keyboard and that's about it. The Lenovo 950m is more than twice as fast as the R7 M445 and as you mentioned it only has a 5400rpm 1TB hard drive. Similar battery life. No reason to buy the Dell.

      • juzz0 on 21/03/2017 - 22:40

        Also touchscreen right?

        • Yuri Lowell on 21/03/2017 - 23:21

          Oh yeah, it does. I missed that.

  • gorge on 21/03/2017 - 18:45

    would it be 47% off due to 7% off from lenovo cashrewards?

  • [Deactivated] on 21/03/2017 - 18:55

    I selected 2x 4gb ram and tried applying the code but its giving me an error

    price below floor price?

    EDIT: couldnt figure it out so i settled for 2x 8gb and now i dont think cash rewards tracked my purchase because its not showing that i made a purchase? sad sad

    • thepigs on 21/03/2017 - 22:34

      try the 12gb 2400mhz option - removes $95.

      • juzz0 on 22/03/2017 - 13:29

        Will you really notice 12 - 16gb difference on this computer? I would think it wouldn't matter much considering it is limited by the dual core processor so want to get the 12gb unless someone really recommends the 16 on here.

    • Viper8 on 22/03/2017 - 11:29

      It worked the second time for me.

      Web Price: $1,549.00

      After eCoupon: 
      $860.00

      Savings: $689.00

      • Danger on 22/03/2017 - 15:05

        How did you get that price. What RAM you have bought ?

        • Viper8 on 22/03/2017 - 15:21

          I haven't bought yet, but I got that price by doing the following:
          Change RAM from this: 16GB DDR4 2400MHz SODIMM
          To this: 8GB(4+4) DDR4-2133MHz SoDIMM [ subtract $ 150.00 ]

          IMO 8GB of RAM is plenty for a 7500U and 950M.
          To warrant 16GB I would want a 7700HQ (quad core) or higher and a 980M/1060 or higher.

        • Danger on 22/03/2017 - 15:23

          @Viper8: Thanks Mate ! I will take your suggestion on board to buy 8GB

  • Duece1995 on 21/03/2017 - 20:26

    Would these specs edit 4k video?

    • ubcool on 21/03/2017 - 21:28

      basic editng yes but it would not be fast. adding effects it will struggle . you really need a quad core laptop for video editing nowadays.

    Hi TA,
    Anything in the works regarding a 13" laptop around the same price mark with good build and specs? The 14" deals are good but I'm still holding out for something a littler lighter.

  • SumTingRon on 21/03/2017 - 21:10

    Hi there, do you have any suggestion for a decent responsive 13" laptop around $500 for every day use? Thanks.
