Received this deal from Lenovo yesterday. For $1075 you get a ThinkPad E480 with:
- Intel Core i7-8550U Processor
- Windows 10 Home 64
- 14.0" FHD IPS Display
- 8GB DDR4 Memory
- AMD Radeon RX 550 2GB Graphics
- 256GB M.2 Solid State Drive
Coupon code HOTE480 — probably because of Lenovo finally realising how hot and crippling an i7 & RX 550 are running inside the E480 chase :P Customisable build as always (with potentially longer shipment), so you can get more memory, backlit keyboard, fingerprint reader, etc. Offer ends on Monday.
On the other hand, this SILVER E480 might be a better buy at $799 delivered.
- Intel Core i5-8250U Processor
- Windows 10 Home 64
- 14.0" FHD IPS Display
- 8GB DDR4 Memory
- 128GB M.2 Solid State Drive
Yeah, same spec as this previous deal except $30 less. And in silver, which some might prefer but a blasphemy of ThinkPad IMHO. The almost $280 saved from downgrading to i5 and without a dGPU can get you some nice 2.5" SSD with cash to spare. Offer ends Thursday 7 June.
is this a good deaL? Sounds good for something this small with a dedicated graphics card..
