    Very nice price.

    • Just_looking on 12/02/2011 - 19:03

      How do I get it? I haven't been able to find any such info on Lenovo's website? Thanks in advance for your helps guys!

    Does anti glare mean its a matte display?

    • ttkc on 12/02/2011 - 10:02

      Yes. I had one it's a nice machine. Only problem was it did not have indication lights eg HDD activity status, Cap Lock etc. Otherwise a very goods computer. At this price it's unbeatable. Especially as it has the trackpoint and matte display.

      It may be possible as a special order but I don't like your chances. You could try calling Lenovo on 1300 557 073.

    • niknah on 12/02/2011 - 21:51

      You can add it in the control panel > regional settings. Then press alt-shift to change keyboards.
      There is only a few keys difference, just need to remember them.

  • tezza on 12/02/2011 - 10:39

    Checking on the link, is it worthwhile to get the i% one instead, with less HD space and RAM?

  • thetrash on 12/02/2011 - 11:15

    Does anyone know if this is good enough for gaming? The video card seems a bit weak (even with the 5145 option). I am not looking for full on high detail as long as it is somewhat playable.

      Here is a video demonstrating StarCraft with the standard integrated Intel HD graphics on a 14" model.

      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mB848dxQpLA

      The HD5145 option would be even better so I would recommend at getting it for only the $52 extra. For the price, I think you wont find better.

    I am a techie, I couldn't get on with the Thinkpad Edge 15.

    I couldn't argue with the spec, but it was the little things that literally annoyed me about the laptop - e.g - no HDD activity or wireless status lights.

    The touchpad was too big, causing me to move the mouse & click with my palm when typing.

    I also found the laptop had a flimsy feel to it.

    Needless to say, after two days, I swapped the laptop for my old Thinkpad SL500.

    For the home / non techie user it would be a great laptop.

      It is included in the 3rd option under "Display type". You have 3 choices; Midnight Black - Gloss, Heatwave Red - Gloss & Midnight Black - Smooth.

      I picked the smooth (matte) black option.

      No, it has 3 x USB 2.0 (1 powered) & 1 USB / eSata Combo.

  • Mitchell on 12/02/2011 - 16:32

    What is the 'pointing device', and how is a fingerprint reader a benefit?

    • lsdbeta on 12/02/2011 - 17:00

      I'm not sure about the pointing device either, might be a stylus or some sort. But a fingerprint reader you can use to sign into stuff anywhere you need a password, for example logging into windows, or signing onto ozbargain. Quite worth the 5 bucks really. I've been using fingerprint readers for years.

      • Mode on 12/02/2011 - 22:03

        Heres a video on the TrackPoint pointing device:-

        http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UJncPhNtUI

        I have always been a fan of Trackpoints and have never had a notebook without one. All Toshiba's use to have them back in the mid 90's but unfortunately they are only available on the highe$t end Tecra models these days.

    • scotty on 12/02/2011 - 22:32

      It's called UltraNav I think — a combination of trackpoint + touchpad so you have the best of both world. However from friend who also bought an Edge 15, the touch pad is way too big and you can easily accidentally touch it when you are typing.

      On the other hand the trackpoint is quite good, which allows you to move your mouse pointer without leaving your hands off home row.

    • shmahoo on 23/02/2011 - 17:15
      +2

      I think the trackpoint is what my friends call the "clitoris" - hard to learn how to use properly !

      But man, when you get the hang of it……..

  • mt2000 on 12/02/2011 - 18:07

      Seriously? For less than $600 bucks, they're most likely selling these because of Sandy bridge. You're not going to find them at this price until sandy bridge's successor comes up.

  • [Deactivated] on 12/02/2011 - 18:48

    seems like a good price, maybe get the extra warranty

  • hamajiro on 12/02/2011 - 18:55

        OK, I didn't realise that the original deal for the model was gone from the Lenovo website.
        Too bad…

  • prodnus on 12/02/2011 - 18:55

    Same Here, I Add to cart and an email was sent to my email address with the correct total but now the price and components has changed. Very SHONKY indeed. They say the deal is up to the 14th of Feb 2011 and now it has disappeared.

  • Daniel Plainview on 12/02/2011 - 19:01

    He who hesitates is lost.

    Lenovo have jacked the price up from $559.46 to $659! Put a friend onto it just in time and was considering it myself but don't really need one.

    Wonder if the pricing was wrong or if demand was a tad steep so they thought they'd grow their margin?

    Man - now I've checked 10mins later and that model is gone completely! Must have sold out. Only the lower end one at $572 or the i5 at $635. Go the latter if you have to. The $559 i3 4gb 7200rpm HDD model was definitely the value pick…well done to those who got it.

    • Just_looking on 12/02/2011 - 19:05

      Oh well, that explains why I can't find it, been looking for last half hour on their website.

  • ratsack on 12/02/2011 - 19:03

      Note:

      The OP link I posted isn't available to the general public. Lenovo has an arrangement with a handful of Australian companies/organisations and always offer them 15%-20% off the normal web price INCLUDING their sales campaigns.

      In future, if you use this link below you should always pay at least 15% less than the public web prices.

      http://www.lenovo.com/au/memben

      The original "super sale" offer I posted does appear to be removed but if you use the link from my post above it is currently still active. I hope this helps some of you who still wanted to buy this deal.

    • Mode on 12/02/2011 - 22:27

      I don't know how long this deal will stay active for so if you do buy the notebook please double check the specs are the 4GB RAM, 500GB 7200 HDD with an original price of $1,914.15, a sale price of $559.46 & total savings of $1,354.69.
