Two offers from Lenovo for Easter. The E570 is at its cheapest in this configuration, and the E470 has been extended at the same price as an apology by Lenovo for incorrectly ending the previous deal two days early. Use the links below and apply the appropriate coupon at checkout to get the discount. Lenovo is also offering half price warranty at a ridiculous $63 for 2 years of NBD on-site coverage (as opposed to standard return to base) - a no brainer in my opinion. Both offers end Monday. A SAFE & HAPPY EASTER TO YOU ALL :)

    • effgee on 14/04/2017 - 12:35

      i7, lots of RAM + SSD is a good start. At least its an nvidia gpu, so you've got some chance, but swx is very fussy about video cards and drivers. I'd hit the solidworks forums to ask there how this one goes. There's also a graphics compatability advisor

        @Venom You neg'd the deal because you paid more from a recent deal, then you upvoted Skramit's comment stating that the same deal/price is posted every fortnight. I'm confused :)

  • beautyfool on 13/04/2017 - 15:31

    For E570, the ssd option can be changed to Intel 256GB Solid State Drive, PCIe-NVMe OPAL2. Is there a difference or just a mistake?

    • [Deactivated] on 15/04/2017 - 08:55
      +1

      The PCIe-NVMe option has a faster interface, though this is unlikely to be noticeable in practice.
      The main reason you would choose this option is that it frees up the 2.5" drive bay, so you could add a second drive.

      • Icy on 15/04/2017 - 10:41

        A legitimate question as both options are 256GB PCIe-NVMe OPAL2, with the second one stating 'Intel' while the default option does not.

  • Wampus on 13/04/2017 - 16:20

    Lenovo are moving to challenge Dell's NBD warranty and whilst the techs are good the logistics isn't quite there yet. You're generally not going to get NBD service like Dell's, but it's still pretty good

    • decr on 17/04/2017 - 07:17

      Dell's Next Business Day is more like Next Business Week for those in Tassie. Still have to pay for it though.

      • Wampus on 20/04/2017 - 10:58

        It shouldn't be, if you are experiencing delays and have a NBD warranty, call Dell and insist on it, and if you're not getting it, ask why. Their logistics should cover it. There are regions where it might be classed as "second business day" but they're pretty regional.

        • decr on 20/04/2017 - 13:19

          Hobart CBD. insisting doesn't help. I think it's the lack of techs that's the problem. Then again even parts take up to 3 days to arrive so as far as I'm concerned the whole NBD doesn't exist here, even though we are forced to pay for it through purchasing agreements.

        • Wampus on 20/04/2017 - 13:31

          @decr: Sorry to hear that, I'm in a similar position to you but even in regional QLD we get NBD service, local techs are great

          +1

          @Wampus: Yeah… I don't get it why it's like an acceptable thing down here. Lodge a ticket with Dell and they'll fluff around long enough and then have the local tech mob ring up saying they can probably make it in 2-3 business days if the parts arrive in time. I have a good 100+ of these things to look after and it gives me the shits when I have to put up with a weeks downtime for a server that has NBD warranty. /end rant

      For the same price you can build a complete setup that will run overwatch maxed out. This is including monitor with keyboard and mouse.

      If you don't need portability and have the space always go for a desktop when gaming.

    Brilliant deals! Thanks TA for your tireless bargaining!

    Maybe you should include the normal price or the percentage off, as that would probably attract even more people to this deal.

    E570 normal price is $1,749 (44.1% off)
    E470 normal price is $1,599 (43.8% off)

    Unusual percentages… are my maths off? Hopefully I haven't embarrassed myself…

    I didn't know these were such huge bargains, but I just happened to be looking for a new laptop for my sister who is going to work in the UK soon.

    Which leads me to my question: is the warranty an international warranty? I can't seem to find the answer anywhere, I've tried reading through the "Warranty Policies" section but it's all mumbo jumbo to me… :(

    If i plan on using this as a long term work laptop (im about to start a job where you need to bring your own laptop) would it be worth getting the 3yr warranty instead of the 2yr considering it's also got the 50% discount. The type of warranty seems different though

    2Y On-site NBD upgrade from 1Y Depot/CCI delivery vs 3 Years On-site + Premier Support

    NBD is not a huge concern as i will have a backup laptop to use if any hardware failures - im more concerned i'll be covered should the screen or motherboard die for example.

    Cheers.

    Thanks for bringing these deals TA, I'm ready to pull the pin on the E470 for a upcoming trip in May, but based on comments here and elsewhere, I'm not likely to receive it in time. Lenovo are closed for the holidays and weekend so can't confirm directly with them.

    TA maybe you could use your influence and secure some units for quick shipment for OZB buyers?
