For some reason this old code works and is doubling up with a new discount they have over this weekend on the 8th gen intels. 8% off spend over $1,800 + code: JANWELC2018 = $2,565.97 (final price will show in the cart).

No it's not the cheapest way to get these specs, but it is a great price for what is a trooper of a laptop. Very solid and super light. I've got the 2nd gen x1 and it has been through absolute hell.

Processor: Intel Core i7-8550U Processor (8M Cache, 1.8 GHz, 4.0 GHz max)
Operating System: Windows 10 Home 64
Display Type: 14.0" WQHD IPS Premium (2560x1440) Glare 500nits
Memory: 16GB LPDDR3 2133MHz Soldered

EDIT: You can also get the new side load USB-C Ultra docking station for what looks to be a very nice price of $247.57
add the "ThinkPad Ultra Docking Station (Australia)" to your cart during configuration and make sure it shows EXACTLY as part number "40AJ0135AU"

      How high spec? There's numeric keypads with mobile Xeons in the P series.

    • greatlamp on 25/02/2018 - 13:53

      P50s

      All the P50 and P50s models come with an IPS screen as standard, so you can just buy the cheapest one you can find on ebay and upgrade to an SSD

      You have the option of 2, 3, 4 or 5 years onsite warranty when you purchase.

      Your post is a joke.

    I have always been using the X1 Carbons for a long time. My first one was the Gen 2 and my current one Gen 5. They just work and soldier on through the day especially the Gen 5. All day battery life and chewing through spreadsheets. Very light for work travel and super thin. I had the FHD screen and the colour accuracy is ok (around 90-100% sRGB).

      I've had Gen 1, currently have Gen 3 and will now add Gen 6 to my collection. The Gen 3 I'll keep using as well but I mainly wanted the Gen 6 because I can charge it using type C usb so when travelling it's one less thing to carry plus I can charge from a powerbank. Great notebooks and good value for money compared to the alternatives.

        Same. Cutting down on 2 chargers for my phone and laptop is a pretty big advantage for me.

        I currently carry a powerbank and charger for the laptop, 1 charger for both is quite handy.

          I don't travel as much as you but it's worth it for me just for our Europe trips each year, I don't have to scramble around to try and find a charger if my Lenovo one dies or is lost, it's one less item to carry plus the power cord, I can charge on the move which is important especially on trains where the AC power can be off more than on and the big thing is the weight savings of a few hundred grams which means I can being back another bottle of curry sauce.

          And I think there is a 150 gram weight saving on the laptop as well which I will notice as it's on my back all day.

          I currently carry a powerbank and charger for the laptop, 1 charger for both is quite handy.

          I get redundancy as my wife carries a charger in her case that will charge type C devices as well so that's another benefit. I just need to wait now for a dual type C and 4 x type A charger to come out before our next trip in September and I'll be set.

      You've already childishly said this laptop isn't for you, why are you still posting trolling comments? Just move right along if this deal isn't for you.

      Business laptops are better built than regular consumer laptops. They last longer and have better driver support, along with detailed hardware maintenance manuals.

      Nope, don't hit that reply button - stop right there and move right along, this deal isn't for you. You don't have to comment on deals that aren't for you, or that you don't understand.

          @Lorindor: why not? If you read previous comments you'll see many assumed im a kid who's into gaming PC's and that seemed to invalidate my opinion in their view, so wouldn't being an adult software engineer do the opposite? Only works one way I suppose.

        • ChickenTalon on 16/03/2018 - 19:03

      I’m so glad we ave these wonderfull we’ll informed and experienced members on this site that obviously know far more about business IT than all the businesses and corporations in the world….

      As a business IT professional, I’ve decided I’m now no longer going to contribute to discussions on business IT products on this site, I’ll just leave the kids to argue about their budget gaming laptops…

        This is the problem, they think because they can swap a video card or shove some ram in a computer that this makes them an IT professional when all it really does is show they can do what any monkey can do. They think their new found skills means they can partake in any level of IT conversation and parade around like an expert.

        • ChickenTalon on 25/02/2018 - 20:57

          Exactly. I’ve built many a desktop in my day. But no way I’m (profanity) around with mission critical stuff. I need my laptop to work every time no matter how bad I treat it.

          I arrive with a dead laptop and I’m up 3k on a presentable machine at the arrival hall, happens once a year and the super cheap savings on a shitty machine don’t add up

      Add 'business' to the tag, stick on an extra 20-30% to the price of what its really worth.

      Gotta hand it to the person that came up with the term. It was a masterstroke and now he/ she's laughing to the bank!

        Whatever. I don’t think you unterstand either. After 3 flights and 4 hours on the most ass-fk bumpy road to deliver a prssso worth $15mil in Australian export revenue then you’ll then understand. I’ve mortgaged my house for my business and if I can’t sell it’s game over for me. I simply can’t have my laptop fail on me.

        Yes, an extreme example. But not far from the truth.

      ALL laptops are still LPDDR3, there is no LPDDR4 support for any CPUs as yet.

      • Ragnarok1983 on 25/02/2018 - 17:32

        Yeap same with XPS13 8th Gen, its LPDDR3.

      • Techhit on 25/02/2018 - 20:52

        I wouldn't say "ALL". I could link to some examples, but I won't, as clearly LPDDR3 is still prevalent. From what I've been reading it's used because power consumption is than LPDDR4.

      IBM / Lenovo laptops have had a huge following for over 20 years, starting with the T series.

      We have long ago passed the point where cpu power matters, anything with at least 2 cores is fast enough for business use. What does matter is build quality, connectivity, battery life, and a decent keyboard that wont be damaged if you drop a glass of water on it.

      People pay 3k for a macbook air without blinking, this is the windows equivalent. Think of it as the Nokia of laptops. You can't appreciate how well designed it is until you use something that isn't.
