    Usb 3.1?

      Took me a while to find details about this laptop (searching comes up with a lot of results for the 14" model), but I finally found that this model has 1 USB 2.0 port, one USB 3.0 port and 1 USB Type-C (which is what is referred to here as USB 3.1).

    • [Deactivated] on 12/11/2017 - 12:35

      USB 3.1 Gen 1(Basically USB 3.0 but with a Type-C Port).

  • Mickel07 on 12/11/2017 - 12:21

    For those interested - weight is 1.2 kg. Lenovo rates the battery as "**Up to 6 hours". I suspect it's usually less than that.

    • akaakmdm on 12/11/2017 - 12:53

      I'm assuming you grabbed those specs from https://www3.lenovo.com/gb/en/laptops/ideapad/300-series/Len….

      I suspect that's the battery life for the model with the MX150 built in that this configuration doesn't have. Most similar laptops without discrete GPUs claim up to 10-13 hours and get 6-8 hours in web browsing tests so an upper limit of only 6 hours seems odd.

      • Mickel07 on 12/11/2017 - 13:01

        Yes that's right. The page mentions both the integrated graphics and the MX150 configurations. Manufactures usually do quote the highest possible battery life number they can though. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find any actual reviews on the battery life.

    • CyberMurning on 12/11/2017 - 14:21

      Of course, manufacturers always over estimates battery life. Never under estimates

        In my experience Apple are spot on or underestimate

    • joungs on 12/11/2017 - 14:54

      Cant find the actual battery capacity in wh anywhere. This should be a mandatory specification they should list just like any other, just saying a certain number of hours is misleading.

  • jjj123 on 12/11/2017 - 13:21

    wow, i5 now is standard with 4 cores, 8 threads, now you dont need the 7th gen HQ cpu which is bloody expensive.

    • mg_k on 12/11/2017 - 13:24

      yea makes no sense to get 7th gen unless it's heavily discounted, and I mean HEAVY!

      Btw, does anyone know if it has a backlit keyboard? If it does I am heading to my local JB now.

      • tho760 on 12/11/2017 - 14:34

          Not the same model.

          The review one is a 14" 7th gen and weights 1.74kg, this one is a 13.3' 8th gen and 1.2kg.

      • pevo01 on 12/11/2017 - 15:58
        +4

        Just picked one up and yes it has a backlit keyboard

        • mg_k on 12/11/2017 - 16:03

          I called my local JB and the guy told me there's no backlit?!?!?

          Sigh I don't know who to believe anymore…

          If there is can you adjust the backlit level?

        • SickDmith on 12/11/2017 - 16:19

          How is build quality?
          Is the body made of plastic?

        • pevo01 on 12/11/2017 - 18:55
          +2

          @mg_k: Backlight has 3 levels. High low and off. The JB I went to didn't even have a display model out. The guy went and looked out the back for me. He had a read of the box and the price and was pretty impressed with the specs. My guess is that they don't have a display model out as they want to sell all the old intel stock first. Would explain why they don't know about the backlight…

        • pevo01 on 12/11/2017 - 18:56

          @SickDmith: Build quality is very solid. Made of plastic but definitely not flimsy. My last laptop was a hp and this one is miles ahead in terms of build quality

        • ah-see on 14/11/2017 - 14:39

          if anyone was wondering how to toggle the keyboard backlight, you have to press: "Fn + Spacebar"

    • joungs on 12/11/2017 - 14:55

      Does this mean there is no 8th gen HQ variant?

      • iLike on 12/11/2017 - 17:10

        8th gen HQ hasn't released yet.

          Thought only difference between U and HQ was 2 cores v 4 cores so noe that U series is quad core there is no need for HQ? Unless they make it 6 core or something.

          @joungs:

          They could maybe just offer a HQ version with higher clock speed targetted at the gaming crowd.

        • ozhunter68 on 06/12/2017 - 11:45

          @TimboAus1234:

          In order for Intel to maximise profits and maybe even meet demand, you bet they eventually will put out a HQ version.

    Again, is this with upgradeable ram

      Is the RAM upgradeable?

      Most modern Lenovo laptops come with soldered RAM.

        just have it and receipt with you as part of hand luggage.

    • TheOneWhoKnocks on 12/11/2017 - 14:16

      Thanks. Just paranoid since we're not really meant to bring it back without incurring GST.

      • CyberMurning on 12/11/2017 - 14:22

        Why not? We have 900$ worth to bring back without paying gst. And can combine too if you travel with family. And when you bought say $1000 iPhone, after 2 weeks overseas the value is not full you can argue it's now $900 so you don't have to pay gst.
        Come on, don't tell me someone at ozb still dont know this things?

          Plus JB only accepts 5 GCs in a transaction. You can around this by buying e gift cards on the JB website.

          Eg. You can buy one $500 gc online with 5 physical cards.

          The JB cards I bought were already active when I got home.
