    You can actually get a bit more discount (~5%) by inserting "auapi/" into the url after the "https://www3.lenovo.com/au/en/". Or, the below link:

      Do you guys think that cash rewards will still work with this new link?

      • tbone74 on 13/01/2018 - 21:11

        The cashrewards (Chrome) browser plugin still highlights as green, indicating it is tracking. I assume that means it will work?

    • Dellcece on 14/01/2018 - 17:09

      Can anyone confirm if this is reliable or whatnot? How did you get this? Kind of curious.

  • janidbest on 12/01/2018 - 14:52

    is any worth getting dock for 217(cheapest?)

    • AstroPhysic on 13/01/2018 - 20:26

      What's dock?

    • tomadeira on 14/01/2018 - 14:41

      It's expensive but having used lenovo laptops with their own proprietary docks as the firm I work for provides them! I'd say it depends - if you are planning to use this on the go and back in the office (for a second monitor input) these things work with no compatibility issues.

      If I had to pay for them initially - I wouldn't have - but with the privilege of using them over the course I'd certainly would now.

    Use the Amex Offer and get 3 points for every dollar. Works out savings slightly above $50.00

  • Pharaoh on 12/01/2018 - 15:51

    whats the delivery time for lenovo laptops? I've heard some not so nice stories (up to 3 or 4 weeks).

    • zyn0 on 12/01/2018 - 18:52

      it says 6-9 business days so that should be 2 weeks max but if you live rural, it might take longer.

    • LlamaLlamaLamp on 12/01/2018 - 19:41

      Ordered three during the black Friday sales. They were delivered January 4th. From what I could gather, Lenovo had a massive shortage of 8GB and 16GB DIMMs. So as long as you order a laptop with 2 x 4GB DIMMs, the shipping dates should be correct. FWIW, after they notified me of the delay, I checked the website and every model I looked at that had 16GB or RAM or more had a lead time of 4 - 6 weeks.

  • zyn0 on 12/01/2018 - 18:42

    Does anyone know if this laptop has soldered RAM? Also, is it possible to add extra storage i.e. a harddrive or another ssd?

    • tbone74 on 16/01/2018 - 01:49

      They are DIMMs. This deal includes 2x 4GB DIMMs. It has the option when ordering to configure 1x 8GB instead (at extra cost, can't remember how much) or other configurations.

      For storage, this deal includes an M.2 SSD. There is an empty 2.5" drive bay. Also an option when ordering to populate that bay with something.

  • LlamaLlamaLamp on 12/01/2018 - 19:34

    Don't think 5% Cashrewards will work for this deal as the coupon isn't listed on the Cashrewards website.

    • Brgc on 12/01/2018 - 23:20

      The coupon is listed on the right inside

        You are correct. I swear it wasn't there earlier today. Downvote me like the animal I am!

    I'm thinking about a laptop for Uni, just for notes. This looks a bit of overkill though. Is refurb the way to go via ebay? I'm looking for a base SSD and a spend of $300-$400.

    I've also been considering a Chromebook + office365 combo. Just not sure which path to go down. Any pointers?

    • OzPunter on 13/01/2018 - 10:29

      Check Dell outlet.You may find some good deals there.They generally update their stock every Monday afternoon.

    • AstroPhysic on 13/01/2018 - 12:42

      Wouldn't waste money buying the Office365 from the computer store. Microsoft often (as in pretty much constant deal) have really really really cheap offers for students. Last one I took advantage of it was only $50.

      • DezmolishA on 14/01/2018 - 12:52

        You get office365 for free as a uni student as far as I’m aware. I know I did anyway!

    • steven231 on 14/01/2018 - 16:58

      Yep, its called office for student, as long as you have an email account provided by the uni you get a bunch of office products for free including word, powerpoint and excel.

  • adu25 on 13/01/2018 - 14:31

    definitely deciding between this and the xiaomi mi notebook pro. Anyone have any insight as to which graphics is better, the radeon mx 550 or the nvidia geforce mx 150

  • AstroPhysic on 13/01/2018 - 20:28

    I see this is "Ready for business." I prefer more of a mullet-laptop… Business at the front, party at the back. Will this suffice?

  • Poormanchild on 13/01/2018 - 20:38

    Hi guys,

    Noob here. How exactly do you redeem the 5% cashrewards discount? I signed up and went through their website but the cost is higher than $874.03 and the coupon is the same as the one listed above "deals"?

    • tbone74 on 13/01/2018 - 20:55

      It's because when you log in through cashrewards, you will go to the normal Lenovo page that doesn't provide the extra discount given by zrmx.

      After logging in, go back to the link again from this deal and you should get the cheaper price again. I think you should still get the cashback. If you're using Chrome and have the cashrewards plugin installed, you should still see the cashrewards icon has highlighted green to indicate the the tracking is enabled. Other browsers have a plugin also, can't remember which ones exactly.

      • Poormanchild on 13/01/2018 - 22:16

        Thanks!

      • bto on 14/01/2018 - 18:19

        I am confused how this works, isn't it that for Cashrewards to track we need to buy via Cashrewards page? when i buy via Cashrewards the price is $919, this make no sense to use Cashrewards if they bump the price up to $919.
        BTW, i tried and did like what you have advised, after i logged in to Cashreward i then went back to the link zrmx provided and the price now shows $874.03 but this obviously didn't go via Cashrewards page so how can i get the 5% back? Am i missing out something? Thanks!

        • Brgc on 14/01/2018 - 19:19

          If you go first through cash rewards and open the link, and then open this second link(here), the cash rewards will still able to track it, but not too sure if they will honour it

        • AstroPhysic on 15/01/2018 - 13:13

          You can use Cashrewards to open the new tab, then just click on the E480 on Lenovo homepage. It is fairly easy to find this deal as it is advertised on Lenovo's homepage. You don't need the link from this deal.

        • tbone74 on 16/01/2018 - 01:59

          @AstroPhysic: The problem is, if you just click on the link from the Lenovo page, it will take you to the standard deal. The link provided earlier in the thread (and updated in the deal here) contains an extra ~$45 discount.

          So you need to open up in Cash Rewards, then manually open using the link in this deal. Better to use the Cash Rewards browser plugin so you can make sure it's still tracking.

          I went ahead and bought one so I'll update in here when I hopefully receive the Cash Rewards email notification.

        • tbone74 on 16/01/2018 - 13:13

          Received cashback tracking email from Cash Rewards, expected cashback reported as $39.73. Updated details in deal.

        • Brgc on 16/01/2018 - 16:46

          @troyb74: Yes I did received as well. Will be confirmed just in April.

  • daft009 on 23/02/2018 - 07:10

    so for the people who have this laptop now, is there a backlit keyboard?

    • Brgc on 23/02/2018 - 10:20

      No backlight but you can order with if you want.
