    Anybody wants to highlight anything or all okay to proceed?
    Note: By default 8GB RAM selected so please don't forget to select before adding to cart for 16GB ($0.0) charges.

        I think Cashrewards is currently at 4.88% for Lenovo.

      Monitor brightness is average at 250 nits. For comparison the Huawei Matebook X pro is 450nits and the Dell XPS range around 410.

    I'm in love it's so beautiful. It's a good do everything kind of laptop.

  • Azmunga on 10/06/2019 - 19:55

    I was tossing up buying this laptop all weekend. Shopback currently has 13% cashback for Lenovo which makes it even better.

    In the end I decided not to buy for a couple reasons; But mostly because it's a brand new laptop. No reviews, no discussions on it, not even an unboxing video - and I'm a bit concerned about heat management.

    Lenovo seem to be a bit average in that department with any non-gaming laptops that have a dedicated video card and for all appearances this laptop looks like one of their bog standard designs with a serious graphics card jammed in it. Which would lead to a lot of throttling from overheating, which would lead to a huge loss in performance, which would lead to the question of why would you spend so much money on something you can't even use?

    I might be wrong, it might be fine. But I'm not nearly adventurous enough to be the test subject to find out if this laptop is a lemon or a gem.

    • Clear on 10/06/2019 - 20:07

      Unboxing video but in Thai ;)

    • nedski on 10/06/2019 - 20:07

      Azmunga, a quick google search brings up a number of reviews for this laptop.

      Also there is an unboxing video on Youtube.

      • Azmunga on 10/06/2019 - 20:09

        Link me the reviews please. Because I cannot find them. I might end up buying one yet.

    It's a new model. You can get the silver one with 8 gen i7 CPU for around $1700

  • [Deactivated] on 10/06/2019 - 20:08

    it would have been an insanely sweet deal if not for the following:
    - 250nit is not terribly bright (i have 300nit panel and often I would like it to be a notch brighter)
    - 45Wh battery is a bit of a letdown for a 15 inch laptop.

    I have made a deal with a supplier for a Dell Precision 3530 model that I own as well, and it has i5-8300h, Nvidia Quadro P600 video card with4gb dedicated vram (equal in performance to MX150), 8gb of ddr4-2666 ram, w10 pro, huge 92Wh battery, 256gb ssd, and a color accurate IPS panel 300 nit. can sell it for $1300 let me know if anyone is interested, I would say it's a decent alternative for similar price. brand new and all, 3 year on site warranty.

    • nedski on 10/06/2019 - 20:09

      Thats a pretty sweet deal. If I hadnt already purchased this one, I might have taken you up on it.

        I know mate! Depends on what you want to do with it. I work and edit photos on it, and play older titles like HL2 and Warhammer 40000 SM, for that it is more than enough, mate, it doesn't even spin the fan loud enough when I do that on battery! and I get 8+ hours easily from a single battery charge too, mate.

  • zztrader on 11/06/2019 - 01:26

    Its a petty the dont do their LEGION series with more specials. They do the Y530 with a 1050ti 4G units for $1149 approx but they just dont seem to do their GTX 1060 6gb units for decent prices.

    Or even their Y740 units are also quite price in comparison to how Dell and a few others mark down.

  • ChocolateTown on 11/06/2019 - 03:16

    I saw this deal with cashback myself with the lower spec Ideapads (iirc s145?) and lo, it’s still way over my budget. Le sigh. Looks like I’ll be buying refurbed and hope the keyboard is satisfactory for me :(

    Lenovo cashback back down to 4%

      Cashrewards now offering 11% now for Lenovo until the 13th. Not as good as the 13% but much better than 4%.

  • neonlight on 11/06/2019 - 08:07

    So 1 year warranty only unless you pay extra for three. I thought something like this value should be under statutory consumer laws

    Is it necessary to pay for this onsite warranty?

    Just thinking it's the same con as extended warranty

    • nedski on 11/06/2019 - 10:31

      Consumer guarantees trump statements saying warranties only last 1 year unless you buy the extended warranty.

      • neonlight on 11/06/2019 - 16:02

        $144.10 for extended warranty. Not much of a bargain after adding it.

        Also Win10 Pro another $114

      Dealers choice really. I bought one and I don't really need a gamers laptop and its more for general surfing. However its nice to have the option of gaming if I want to later on down the track.

      Yeah that's doesn't have the 1TB mechanical hd but has 256GB SSD instead of 128GB. Also, you can't get the free 16GB ram upgrade.

      • nedski on 14/06/2019 - 14:59

        Yeah I initially ordered that one, but I preferred the option of being able to put a 1TB ssd in there and have 16gb of ram.

              @betheball: Looks like both shopback and cashrewards have reverted back to 4%. Anyone have idea as to whether the cashback % will go back up before the end of the month when this deal finishes?

              It's one great deal with at least 10% cashback.

  • iTaco on 18/06/2019 - 13:25

          • Tekkky on 26/06/2019 - 22:46

            @nedski: I ordered mine last Monday and it arrived yesterday. The expected delivery date was 3rd July and was surprised it came so quickly.

            The laptop so far has been good for my wife that plays a bit of games on the side. Have to play games on low settings to get past 60fps but overall, we're happy with it.

    • buzzliteyear on 18/06/2019 - 21:21

      Same here, keen to pull the trigger but want some feedback to confirm performance and build are as good as it seems on paper.

    • buzzliteyear on 25/06/2019 - 18:01

      New Russian review, need Google translate do it's thing: https://www.notik.ru/information/topic/6807.

      Just saw the Dell Inspiron 15 7000 deal for $1,379 which is similar but only 8GB of RAM but there's a Youtube video of a guy who reviewed the Dell, and upgraded the SSD and RAM himself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88dDq9R26rg&t=1s.

      Interesting to see that the Lenovo has some heating issues in the Russian review and from a gaming perspective the reviewer was a bit let down but for me gaming is not the primary purpose.

  • iTaco on 18/06/2019 - 21:26

    The other thing I'm now looking at is this versus the Y530 legion, they look to be very much the same apart from this being newer and i think the legion is bigger battery, whether that equates to better battery life idk

    • AussieMark on 18/06/2019 - 22:34

      just bear in mind the bigger the graphics card the bigger the huge power pack that comes with it.

      I got the HP Omen Geforce 1070

      My god the power cord is literally 1-2kg by itself

              Build quality looks nice though.

              I will put it through its paces later today, including running 3DMax on it and installing Destiny 2

          Some initial thoughts about the laptop. Solid build and quiet. Some of the quirks include the backlighting on keyboard not always on. Cant figure out why. Also getting into the BIOS by pressing the Novo button (its similar to the process of how you eject your sim from your phone).

          Overall, im very happy with the purchase.

          • AussieMark on 28/06/2019 - 23:20

              @neonlight: I was happy with the pricepoint without the 10% cashback. Its pretty sweet with the Jedi Challenges as well.

              I have been playing Arkham Asylum on it and it is super smooth.

              I would have tried Destiny 2 on it but the 90gb download is a little intense.
