      After some research, I won't be touching this brand. I need quick, simple, long warranty. Seems this isn't something Lenovo can manage.

      If this is how they treat people who have paid for premium warranty, imagine how they handle 'regular' customers. Piss on their faces?

        I had the same problem with Dell for my XPS 13.

        Their "NBD On-site" dragged out to 5 months after opening the ticket, after which the technician came, fixed 1 USB port, but promptly broke the type-C, wi-fi, AND keyboard. Dell sent another technician a month later, he basically gave up and told me to ask for a replacement. Of course, they would not approve a replacement no matter what. Dragged my ticket on for another few months and whaddya know, I'm out of warranty!

        Are there any laptop brands which actually honour their warranty terms?

      I second issues with their 3 year next business day warranty.

      After the delivery of the laptop there was an issue with my keyboard, so they sent me a new one and I had to send the old part back. Was easy to fix it myself and the part arrived the next business day.

      After 2 years I wanted to claim a defect USB port and case which they did NOT want to fix. Their excuse was that: "Those parts don't break". Even after escalating the issue, no result….. the warranty wasn't of much use in the end.

          @jerum3030: My mistake, the model I have is a Yoga 460, but it's an i7 with a 940m, so I can't really comment on the performance of this configuration. It should still take an m2 ssd though.

          I haven't done any video editing on it, I mainly use it for uni work.

    • Symbiotic on 05/06/2017 - 02:53

      You can fit a m2 drive but it needs to be a 42mm one, the longer m2 drives are not compatible. I've got a 512GB m2 in my Yoga 460 laptop. There's a 16GB m2 drive in the laptop already and it's easy to swap them out.

    Just an FYI to those using Photoshop.

    We bought this, last deal, & it's a constant issue with the included pen + Wacom tablet.

    If you do tablet work at all- be sure to test it IMMEDIATELY, because Lenovo only give 14 days to return defective units.

    Even then, I imagine a fight.

    You have been warned

      The included bloatware and bullshit is likely to blame for this.
      I have a fresh minimal Win10 install and it's much better than it was out of the box.
      With light use i can achieve 8+ hours, not sure if i've ever hit 10.
      Web browsing and watching Youtube with brightness up at a reasonable point gets at least 5 hours.

          On Aliexpress, around US$711, and will be around AU$970. If buying it with 10% cashrewards, the price will be around AU$880.

          I bought one from aliexpress one month ago, and DHL express shipping for free. I installed ENG WIN10 PRO directly after I received. All good yet.

          @sunaus: Actually, banggood sends u $20 usd coupon when signing up to newsletter and combine that with 9% cashback, the prices become similar. And banggood seems to have faster shipping.

    To a kinda review on a near identical unit (i7 + Nvidia 940).
    The difference between i3/5/7 is almost nill in the notebook world, they're all dual cores limited by the same thermal environment in the notebook.

    Warranty was mentioned above, have had 3 dealings with DBD onsite warranty with these machines, 1 went fine (screen swap), 1 required 3 screens (screen swap with faulty replacements being sent out) and 1 (broken USB port) dragged on for 4 months with a supply issues causing the wrong motherboard to be sent 3 times (part numbers matched, but the wrong fingerprint header was present).

    All up great machines, but let down by poor warranty.
    A NBD warranty should never turn into 4 months of bullshit.

    • Symbiotic on 05/06/2017 - 22:56

      I called up to get a quote to replace my keyboard as a couple of keys had fallen off. Laptop was 1 month out of warranty but they said it'd be covered by Australian consumer law. Called on a Thursday, courier picked it up the next day and I had my laptop delivered back home fixed up by Tuesday afternoon the following week.

      When I first got the laptop I found a few dead pixels on the screen and returned it for a panel replacement. Got it back within a week as they had to wait a few days for the part. Had to hassle them a bit more that time around.

      Overall I've had a great experience with their after sales support.

      • jerum3030 on 06/06/2017 - 08:56
