    Why do all of the deals always have such low storage? 128gb is what you would expect from your phone.

    Edit: you can increase the storage, processor and memory. It bumps the price massively though. Anyone know if you can change the storage yourself and still maintain the warranty?

    • [Deactivated] on 18/05/2018 - 11:14

      This is a ThinkPad. You can just about do what you want and not affect the warranty. They even include field service manuals on the website for customer use.

      Lenovo have continued the IBM policy of letting you pull Thinkpads apart and service them yourself. Storage is deemed as being a "CRU" (customer replaceable unit).

      • navcar on 18/05/2018 - 17:48

        I did exactly that for my Uni Thinkpad a couple of years ago. Did a DIY SSD and RAM upgrade myself, and had zero problems with warranty (had the display changed a few times due to a problem). Thinkpad service is pretty great as a 'business' product.

        (Unfortunately this model has soldered ram though)

    • sky blu on 18/05/2018 - 12:00

      Yes you can, on one of the livechats I asked and was advised that warranty would be voided for the storage only, that means you can do your own upgrade.

      I'd personally do that since there are better deals on computer storage on eBay from time to time. Do double-check with Lenovo livechat though.

    • user01 on 18/05/2018 - 13:13

          Genuinely thought that was your job (and there is nothing wrong with that). So you just negotiate with sellers for good deals and receive no kickback/incentives at all? If this is the case I apologise and retract my comment.

          @Your Friend: TA works for CashRewards, not Lenovo, hence the "third-party" badge, not "associated". He is also a respected long-time member on Ozbargain, and has been known to secure awesome deals for the Ozbargain community.

          You get a better deal through this post, but you can always try Lenovo livechat to see if you can score a better deal.

          By the way, your username does did not checkout before, I hope from now on it'd be more fitting.

  • Maveot on 18/05/2018 - 11:10

    FYI RAM is soldered on these, I know I have one, so make sure 8GB is enough. The SSD can be upgraded yourself.

    • shiftyphil on 18/05/2018 - 11:22

      You can order with 16GB if you upgrade the CPU to an i7, but of course it drives the price up a lot.

      And yes, no changing it later.

      • sav11 on 19/05/2018 - 14:38

        That's the dealbreaker for me. Have to pay $200 for a CPU I don't need just to open up the RAM upgrade.

  • FlatulentFrank on 18/05/2018 - 11:14

    Bought this when it first came out and highly recommend it. Keyboard types like a dream and the colours are amazing. Wasn't used to its lightweight coming from a 4kg beast and subsequently dropped it onto hard tiles; nothing happened. Thinking of buying an eGPU to take advantage of its quad core.

  • sky blu on 18/05/2018 - 12:03

    Great machine and great post TA. Would seriously consider this if I hadn't purchased my Thinkpad T580.

    Totally recommended if you're in the market for a 14" mobile workstation, with the current AMEX and CashRewards combo this is the best machine in the ultrabook sector, in terms of weight, battery life, build quality and don't forget the awesome award-winning keyboard.

    Damn, Lenovo should hire me as a sales rep.

      FYI, you may also want to take a quick look at the Yoga G2 with OLED touch if your willing to pay that price. Look for OLC on ebay. Same specs + warranty, but last gen. I wasn't expecting such a difference, but I bought one and the screen is incredible next to my X1 Carbon.

    • ujwols on 18/05/2018 - 18:04

      How? With Amex?
      For me without amex its coming as $2924.
      3 year warranty is $442?

      I even just choosed 128gb ssd

  • ChatCPT on 18/05/2018 - 13:14

    Noob question but can I get an SSD and swap out the 128GB little one it comes with. the upgrade options seem too high - example upgrading from 128 to 512 costs $300 but this 512 SSD costs just $150 https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/366357. im guessing theres some speed specs that justify the difference

    • Maveot on 18/05/2018 - 13:18

      Yep exactly, the speed used in these is pretty darn fast from what reviews I read.

      You can do it yourself though if you want to.

  • garybath on 18/05/2018 - 13:28

    Any guidance on the display options appreciated:

    14.0" FHD IPS - SELECTED
    14.0" FHD IPS Touch + $150.00
    14.0" WQHD IPS + $200.01
    14.0" WQHD Premium IPS + $300.00

    I get the extra $150 for touch but what's the advantage of the WQHD resolution and Premium IPS?

    • Iamcyber on 18/05/2018 - 13:42

      Premium supports HDR, but the panel is glare.

    • evol on 18/05/2018 - 13:59

      The colours on the Premium HDR panel are mind-blowing. Well worth the upgrade IMO. A lot brighter than the FHD panels too.

    • worldwidehappiness on 19/05/2018 - 14:36

      Battery life would be lower on the Premium, and no touch, and not matte, but Mobile Tech Review says it's the best laptop screen ever.

    Lenovo deals on X1 carbon don't seem to be good as they used to be. I got mine for $1450 (retailed at $2200 at the time). Plus this included touch screen and same SSD size. Now I see that touch is an extra cost. And minimum storage should have increased to 256gb in these new models. I'm surprised with all the competition that they can get away with it!

    • Geryatric on 18/05/2018 - 20:56

      They get away with it as it’s marketed at large enterprise not consumers.

      • C0mbat on 18/05/2018 - 22:22

        Really? I've not seen too many large enterprises willing to pay for these.

    Hey TA!
    Firstly thanks a lot for getting these epic deals for us!
    I was wondering if something for the T480s can be negotiated similar to the T460s deal a while back. Deal link
    I think it'll be very popular in the ozb community.
    Regards
    A very happy T460s owner :)

  • JungliChilli on 19/05/2018 - 20:23

    The t460s was down from somewhere around 2k to 1k which was an epic bargain. What I was trying to say was if TA can negotiate the t480s down to around 1k

    • daft009 on 19/05/2018 - 20:43

      That was a 6th gen cpu when the 7th had been released.

  • TRANCE on 19/05/2018 - 20:55

    I have the previous Gen of this notebook. The build is luxurious and tough, business style. The keyboard is the best there is on a notebook, even puts the keyboards on expensive "gaming" notebooks to shame. Also, if you want to have a real good laugh, go into JB and check out the latest Macbook's keyboard, it's actually worse than my $300 Dell ultrabook. Seriously, no joke, go check.

    • worldwidehappiness on 21/05/2018 - 13:56

      Macs used to have great hardware. Now they are a joke. And the keyboards a pathetic and no home/end, page up/down keys.

  • laser on 19/05/2018 - 21:05

    Says ships in 2-3 weeks, which actually works for me, as I can claim TRS. Does anyone know if Lenovo invoices on ship date or order date?

    • C0mbat on 19/05/2018 - 21:48
