      I don't have this latest gen chip but I have the last gen chip (2500U). Day to day performance (general office work & media) is great! I don't use it for games so I can't say anything to it. If the news about the latest Ryzen chip is as good as it sounds then I can only imagine the performance should be better.

      • TheContact on 12/06/2019 - 14:41

        APUs are a generation behind desktop, this is Zen+, not Zen2 that was just announced.

    • rookie317 on 12/06/2019 - 15:20

      I have the A485 2500U 14".
      From my understanding A series is basically T series chassis while E series quality is not as good, they probably cut corners here and there.
      In terms of performance nothing to complain but I did buy my own RAM and nvme SSD (Ryzen is quite picky in terms of RAM.
      My only complain is battery life, even though I opted for dual 72+24 Wh batteries but that cannot last me 8 hours. From my research, ryzen high idle consumption is the main culprit, and Ryzen mobile is just not that efficient to begin with. Not sure if this has changed much with the 3500U but I doubt it. My 96Wh battery is almost mandatory if it's to be used on the move a lot.

      • zrmx on 12/06/2019 - 15:47

        3500U is based on the 12nm Zen+, which is designed to address the high idle consumption.

        However, as the device and APU are new, there aren't many reviews online to verify yet. There seem to be OzBargainers who purchased from previous deals, so it'd be nice if they can share experiences on the battery life.

    Effectively $699.30 after 11% cashback (excl GST).

    Best value 15" laptop for this price point (and arguably up to $900 bracket).

    And just copying some notes from previous deal posts regarding upgrades.

    Notes on memory upgrades: Lenovo's currently does not offer options for how the 8GB is configured, but only 8GBx1

    • For best performance (i.e. if you plan on gaming/GPU intensive, or anything CPU/memory intensive), you'll need the memory in dual channel configurations (most often that means two sticks of RAM).
    • If you are only using for office/browsing/light media consumption. You can consider NOT upgrading the memory yet until later to not shell out extra ~$60 (as memory prices are still expected to fall 15-25% at the end of the year, due to Huawei/China-US trade war fiasco and consequent further reduced DRAM demand).
    • Lenovo's prices are exorbitant, don't upgrade with them
    • Newegg's 8GB DDR4 2400MHz SODIMM RAM single stick prices: https://www.newegg.com/global/au-en/Product/ProductList.aspx… (remember to sort by Lowest Price; starts at $56.10 shipped as of posting time)

          Thanks zrmx,
          I did see your post after I asked.
          Shouldn't matter that they are branded differently should it? Same specs should be fine?

          • zrmx on 12/06/2019 - 16:01
            +3

            @farfromparadise: Different brands will be fine.

            As long as they are of DDR4 SODIMM and minimum 2400 speed, they'll be fine. Generally even if two sticks of different speeds (e.g. one 2666 and one 2400), the system will run at the speed of the lowest speed (i.e. they'll run both sticks at 2400).

            Cheers.

      • zrmx on 12/06/2019 - 16:36

        Likely a cache issue with Google?

        Lenovo's website no longer lists fingerprint reader in its description and ad, while it likely could've been there in the earlier days when it was setting up the webpage and listing. Especially if they used E590 as a template, as E590 does have a fingerprint reader (E590, R590, and E595 share almost the same chasis design, as evident by their shared User Manual).

      Intel fanboys.

    • Typical16-bitEnjoyer on 13/06/2019 - 10:35

      Probably because a lot of us that jumped on new release AMD 2500U or 2700U in 2018 have suffered the following:

      1. Poor battery life (high idle power usage)
      2. Poor cooling solutions (intel solutions macgyvered on)
      3. Heavy CPU throttling due to poor cooling leading to only 70% CPU performance during heavy tasks. (can only be fixed with BIOS updates, see below)
      4. Poor Linux drivers leading to random crashes, freezes. (18 months later and it's still not stable)
      5. AMD needing fixes in BIOS form but Lenovo and HP (just to name 2) aren't releasing new BIOSes for last years models. (heaps of users stuck with throttling issues which will likely never ever be fixed)

      So fair to say a lot of us have jumped back onto Intel for our laptops.

      Also, if you use Linux avoid AMD like the plague at the moment. Hopefully they get their act together in a year or so.

  • ScoobyDo on 12/06/2019 - 17:02

    Any thoughts on whether it is worthwhile paying an extra $200 to upgrade the cpu on this deal to : AMD Ryzen 7 3700U (4C, 2.3 / 4.0GHz, 2MB L2 / 4MB L3)?

    • pingponged on 12/06/2019 - 17:41
      +5

      Almost 30% more, doesn't really seem worth it at this price point but guess it may help depending on your use case.

      I've got a r7 2700u but does nothing more than an r5 for my use case of some coding and old games.

    • zrmx on 12/06/2019 - 17:55
      +6

      From rough memory the R7 is only ~10% more performance, but even if it is 20% more performance, the extra $200 (~28% if considering post-cashback price) is a big ask.

      Also considering the form factor and limited thermal envelop, it is unlikely to boost to peak performance for extended period of time, unless you don't mind tinkering with wattage softwares and re-thermal pasting.

      Personally, it can be a worthwhile upgrade if it is $100, but at $200, you really need to question whether that ~10% more performance is worth the price.
