      45 fps at higher graphics settings, but medium is acceptable at 90 fps. Some people would say 45 fps is enough but they probably think 100 ping is ok too. Many games benchmarked on the link.

      • Wonderfool on 29/05/2017 - 23:09

        What type of games do you play? Goodness, even fps games doesn't require a full 60fps to play on a competitive level, forget a top down perspective moba. Sure, it may give you 1 frame advantage in reaction speed, but how many people can really capitalise on that?

      • Yuri Lowell on 29/05/2017 - 23:10

        This one likely has the GDDR5 version of 940MX which is considerably faster (can't remember exactly but around 20%). It's closer to a 950M.

        • donnot on 29/05/2017 - 23:45

    • [Deactivated] on 29/05/2017 - 21:24

      It should get 60fps at 1080 borderless window with rendering 100% and everything else off/low. Dota is a very CPU game, but the 7500u should handle it ok.

    those spec with that price is just unreal. i am so attempted. yet i really want to wait for the new Surface pro.

    i know they are different. But if you talk price-value(consider both form factor and size/mobility), this one is a killer.

    just unreal price for this spec man.

    • realfancyman on 29/05/2017 - 21:20

      just go for this one. surface isnt that good anyway, and i think i heard it is coming with some new operating system that doesn't let you download apps or change default browser etc.

      • sridhar on 29/05/2017 - 21:41

        That's for the Surface Laptop, not Surface Pro. Also, they are going to provide a free upgrade to full Windows 10 Pro from the Student version this year.

          It's not a Student version. It's just "S".

      • Hornpub on 29/05/2017 - 21:50

        I think I still would go for the SF Pro form factor.

        the fact that lighter/smaller = more likely to carry out with me is so important to me.

        although the E470 is nowhere near heavy. but I wish it has flip screen can do 360 like yoga.

        at the end of the day, the spec is not as important as desktop PC does.

        I will wait for the new SF battery test.(coz the SF4 just not amazing…..its ok..but I don't want to spend 1.5k on OK product.)

        • Wonderfool on 29/05/2017 - 23:12

          Eh, you'll lose interest in the whole flip screen thing quickly. You become too lazy to pop up your laptop lol.

          But yeah, I honestly think weight can really affect someone's desire to carry it around.

        • Dream-cast on 29/05/2017 - 23:50

          The Surface Pro is easily more than double the price of this. Base i5 model is $1500 + type cover $200 + Pen $100 + dock because it only has 1 USB port $100-$300 and you'll be looking at $1900 minimum.

        • Hornpub on 30/05/2017 - 03:16

      I got the E470 from a previous easter deal. It's not bad for work on the fly and i got a bit better specs than this deal for about 50-100 bucks more. I'm changing over from a Mac so it's a bit jarring but otherwise it's (profanity) blazing. Have not had any issues in the few weeks i've owned this baby.

      I've bought an E460 about 9 months ago. It's pretty good really. Quite solid. We have cheaper Acer and HP laptops at work and the Lenovo definitely feels more solid and built better. Also pretty good trackpad and keyboard.
      Runs quick fast and always performs trouble free for me.

      I have a mac too and really like their build quality. I quite happily use the Lenovo most time instead due to the HD screen and more ports etc and never feel like I'm using a cheap laptop.

    • [Deactivated] on 29/05/2017 - 21:42

    • r0xz on 29/05/2017 - 21:48

      Should call them and ask for more better deal + support + warranty. Support + warranty are the important factors.

      • Clear on 29/05/2017 - 22:04

        HP and HPe have amazing warranty for business products, particularly their carepacks. Onsite technicians are normally standard and 4 hour parts.

      I've heard non-stop good things about the 840 G4 and similar models from business users who have their employees running them. Based off that and better warranty support I would recommend the HP.

      • valeo on 29/05/2017 - 22:52

        Cheers buddy; I was tossing up between those and the Lenovo T740's but the HP's seem a better bet; as long as I can find ones with IPS screens.

      • anawth on 30/05/2017 - 09:23

        We use them and roll them out to our client. A government agency. They're OK. Not too many issues, but they're not amazing. The Warranty support is quite good, but I dare say we pay a premium for it.
        I'd say the Lenovos are a better machine, but don't have any real issues with the HPs.

    How does this compare to a Xiaomi Mi Notebook Air ? Seems very similar.

    • scrimshaw on 29/05/2017 - 22:43
      +2

      this is not ultrabook, its thicker and heavier.

      It does have more IO ports though, and a battery that can be user replaced, as well as RAM.

      Mi Air ultrabook has soldered memory, so you're stuck with whatever you've purchased. Upside? The Xiaomi actually has a better GPU thanks to it's use of GDDR5 memory.
      Lenovo has opted for slower DDR3 so the graphics memory does have a slight disadvantage.

      Mi Air has slightly smaller battery (40 whr) and Lenovo has 45 whr.

      Mi Air also has a display that flickers when brightness is not set at full. This is called PWM flickering — it's a trick used by some displays to dim the screen, by quickly switching the backlight on and off. The display flickers at 50hz on the Xiaomi which can cause some eyestrain. The Lenovo does not use PWM and thus doesn't flicker.

      • Wonderfool on 29/05/2017 - 23:15

        Really? I never realise that it flickers. I'm gonna try to focus extra hard to spot it lol.

      • lostn on 30/05/2017 - 09:16

      There's a huge difference between 13" and 15". After moving up in size, I never want to go back. But 14 to 15, not sure if it's so noticeable. Depends how many programs you have on at once. Some people just have Word and one or two browser tabs, so they don't need much screen space.

    So i purchased my E470 in one of the previous deals, the first unit i received was DOA and was powering off randomly, when picked up or moved… shit happens, manufacturing defect.

    Fast forward another 3 and a bit weeks to process the DOA return and receive a new unit, process was not exactly smooth…

    talk to support, get DOA approval, fill out a form, email it off to a specific DOA team to actioned, wait 5 days for them to respond, freight labels for return sent via email, call to book collection with StarTrack. Replacement was sent with the standard 2 week time frame after about a 1 week delay in getting everything rolling. Very segmented process… i dunno, surely they could do better for a DOA situation.

    Anyway replacement seems ok so far, a bit of back-light bleeding but i can't be bothered returning.

    However my originally purchased 2 Year NBD on site warranty has not been carried over to the new replacement unit which shows only the standard 1 year return to depot.

    So now i have to chase them up for getting that corrected.

    Bit of a stuff around so far…. Not a fan of Lenovo so far.
