    Any deals on E470 like the ones you have posted previously TA?

    • WatchNerd on 27/12/2017 - 14:42

      Yes, TA has a deal for that model, but he is keeping it all to himself.

    What would someone recommend this or Inspiron 15 7000 for $1379

    • nanoxz on 27/12/2017 - 14:30

      Check the weight, I perfer light one.

    • scotty on 27/12/2017 - 14:32

      Dell is slightly lighter & has that brush metal finish (verses all plastic on ThinkPad). It also has an extra 1TB hard drive.

      ThinkPad however is slighter cheaper, has probably faster GPU, and (very important for some) has TrackPoint and number pads.

      • Pricebeat on 27/12/2017 - 14:35

        Thanks, is 940MX any good? Or Would there be new version coming out soon? Not looking to play games but also want it to be a bit future proof.

        • dcep on 27/12/2017 - 14:48

          no good at all

          i think this rx550 pars with 1050 vanilla which smokes 940mx by far

          @phunkydude: Probably not a 1050, According to Notebookcheck it's better than MX150(GT 1030) but slower than a 1050. So, more like a 1040. Way better than a 940MX though.

    • ominae on 27/12/2017 - 17:37

      Hmm my comment got nuked cus I included the eBay link.

      I’d go for the Dell Inspiron 7577 instead - has a GTX1060 in it and all reviews I’ve read are positive. It’s for $1359 on eBay with the POWERUP code which expires today or soon!?

      • Pricebeat on 27/12/2017 - 19:38

        Couldn’t find 7577 but 15 7000 gaming has 1060 but to me they look ugly. I am looking for something sleek looking and thin. Not looking for gaming graphics card like 1060 but something like in this laptop and latest.

      Can't comment on the Lenovo, but I have the inspiron 15 7000. Its a good laptop, but has a few crappy points:

      • Touch pad and buttons suck
      • Sound is tinny
      • WiFi drivers are broken, unable to fix without reinstalling windows 10
      • Video corruption using stock Intel display driver. Using Dell driver fixes that, but enables adaptive brightness which cant be disabled.
      • Edge of the laptop is sharp and a bit uncomfortable on the wrists
  • footyboy on 27/12/2017 - 14:14

    Any Lenovo offers under $1,000 T.A.?

    • teasatotalling on 27/12/2017 - 14:16

      Wait until mid-year and this will be closer to $1000

    this rx550 pars with 1050 vanilla right ? not against the Ti ?

    • SoresuMakashi on 27/12/2017 - 15:08
      +2

      No, the 1050 vanilla is closest to pairing against the RX460/560. The RX550 doesn't really have a pair, it sort of sits between the GT1030 and the GTX1050.

        will do, been looking during the last 2 weeks and was hoping something will pops up during boxing day but nothing so far

    • Rygar707 on 28/12/2017 - 16:20

      Yep Me too. 470 has the right screen size for me.

  • Ozbloke1 on 27/12/2017 - 15:05

    How does this model compare to the X1 Carbon? Performance wise?

  • OverBought on 27/12/2017 - 15:32

    Does anyone know if that 2.1kg spec is with the battery?

    What's the convention anyways with laptop weight specs? Are they usually quoting the no-battery weight?

  • Duece1995 on 27/12/2017 - 15:57

    How does the Processor •Intel Gen7 i7-8550U compare to the 8700HQ?
    Edit found the below link. It seems the 7700HQ is the better processor
    https://www.pcworld.com/article/3235813/laptop-computers/int…

    • Danthemanz on 27/12/2017 - 16:10
      +2

      Yes, the HQ uses up to 3 times the power draw.
      However under single core processing it seems the 8550U can even get ahead.
      So unless you are doing heavy gaming, video or some other sustained multicore process many people dont require the 45w chip.
      Personally i do, but thats me. Anyone else in my family couldnt notice a difference if they tried.

  • Aarent on 27/12/2017 - 16:09

    i hate this, i love the deal, but no backlit keyboard is killing me inside.

    • kongkurr on 27/12/2017 - 20:52

      "Optional backlit keyboard", optional meaning it can be disabled via Fn keys if not required.

      Thanks TA, purchased one. Solid discount on a very recent laptop.

      • Aarent on 27/12/2017 - 21:37

        ehhh?, i thought optional was like an upgrade, u gotta config the notebook at checkout kinda thing, like upgrading ram etc. sounds odd to me 'optional' would be FN key function :|

          You're probably right on second thought. "Its backlighting, available as an option…"

  • CheekyP on 27/12/2017 - 16:17

    Strong CPU, but the GPU is relatively weak comparded to the 1050 Ti on the E570P and the GTX 1060 available on the new Dell gaming laptop.

    • congo on 28/12/2017 - 11:09

      This is target mainly for business professionals (on the go) not gamers.

  • Bedgrub on 27/12/2017 - 16:51

    Interesting that a lot of the big names have been quietly releasing laptops with 8th-gen CPUs, only to put them on sale almost immediately or within a month. Happened with XPS 13 (which is being replaced in 2018 anyway) and some of the Asus laptops. Might be something to do with ironing out any issues through warranties before they're released to the broader fleet?

    Hi first time poster….can you please tell me which 2 in 1 laptop you would recommend between the HP pavillion 360 and the Acer s5-371t-70cb? It is for a high schooler. Or feel free to mention any other you think is good.thanks

  • jihape on 27/12/2017 - 18:58

    How are the screens on these cheaper thinkpads?

    I haven't been able to find how much of srgb they can do.

    • kongkurr on 27/12/2017 - 20:56

      I'd guess that the screen is the same, if not similar to the previous model: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-ThinkPad-E570-Core-i5-G…

      "The reproducible color space prevents the screen from playing in the league of premium IPS LCDs. 57% of sRGB is on the level with very low-cost panels. Consequently, it is unsuitable for serious image editing."

      • jihape on 28/12/2017 - 12:59
        +1

        It's a shame. It has the right specs but is let down by a crap screen, would be nice if you could upgrade for a bit extra.

  • congo on 27/12/2017 - 19:37

    Support PCIe NVMe2?

  • Fusionbrah on 28/12/2017 - 01:41

    I am a DELL XPS 13 6th Gen CPU user currently, looking to upgrade my laptop. What comparisons are their to my current XPS? Definitely looking at this laptop because of its cheap price.

    • coxymla on 28/12/2017 - 09:55

      E series is middling quality. I think you would be disappointed coming from an XPS.

      • congo on 28/12/2017 - 11:10

        I personal prefer the business look of the Lenovo over the dell. Most of my dell in the past hasn't lasted as long as the Lenovo.

    • worldwidehappiness on 28/12/2017 - 17:18

      I played with the E560, which is two generations back, and the case felt extremely flimsy. Also, fairly bulky, and it has quirks like Ctrl and Fn keys in reversed positions, and that trackpoint thingy in the middle of the keyboard. Delivery time and tracking is a joke. Customer service is bad. YMMV.
