First of all, Lenovo is now doing a clearance on their ultraportable Lenovo ThinkPad 13 with i3-380UM processors. $499 for the following model:

  • Intel i3-380UM (1.33GHz)
  • Windows 7 Home Premium
  • 13.3" LCD
  • 2GB DDR3 RAM
  • 250GB Hard Drive
  • 6 Cell Battery
  • 1.74kg

HOWEVER, apparently Lenovo's late night sale (last seen here) is on again. That means you can use LATENIGHTSALE to get 10% off any Lenovo ThinkPad under $1,000. I just tried it, and the above ultraportable would be reduced to $449.10 after the discount. Beats any old SU7300 based system I think, until the new gen of Sandy Bridge based UM processors come out.

Update: Just found another code TAXPLAY which also gives 10% off any ThinkPad under $1000, but that coupon code would only be activated this weekend (11-12 June). So if you miss out tonight's LATENIGHTSALE, you can still try again over the weekend. See this page for details.

Lenovo also sent me this email today. They are trying to get rid of the previous model of ThinkPad Edge 14. You can get the following laptop for $669:

  • Intel Core i5-560M
  • Windows 7 Home Premium
  • 14.0" LCD
  • 4GB RAM
  • 500GB 7200RPM HDD
  • Camera
  • Bluetooth

However you need to ring 1300 554 974 to order. Not available online.

    Can you still get 10% on ThinkPad Edge 14 deal?

    • scotty on 08/06/2011 - 22:40

      I don't think so. The 10% off is online coupon, but with Edge 14 you need to ring up.

  • Sycotek on 08/06/2011 - 22:24

    The AMD laptops aren't on the Australian site as they are on the USA site :/ shame - was looking for and e350 powered lappy :/

  • evol on 08/06/2011 - 23:33

    Anyone have one of these and can comment on the build quality of the Edge series?

    • skywise on 08/06/2011 - 23:44

      spec-wise, this one is not as good as dell xps14 from cotd couple days ago, but in terms of durability, i guess thinkpad rules!

      • voter1 on 09/06/2011 - 00:22

        think the e520 they have on special is comparable to the xps from a cotd, is $729 instead of 649 but they had the newer generation 2410cpu. Graphics card also has the feature where it can turn itself completely off if you're not using it (and use integrated instead)

        think they also have the e420 for the same price which includes a 3g modem inbuilt but a slower slightly slower 2310 cpu.

        • skywise on 09/06/2011 - 00:39

          e520 is too huge to carry around imo, if you want a e420 with similar spec to the cotd's offer, that costs you around 980 bucks after applying the coupon tho!

          iam thinking of getting e420 if they can make the delivery before the end of next weekend so i can claim gst back since iam going overseas.

    • zzz on 09/06/2011 - 01:29

      I bought a Edge E520 from the sale a couple of weeks back.

      Great quality, f-ing solid laptop.

    • SydStrand on 09/06/2011 - 03:49

      Not this exact one, but the Edge (I guess you can say Lenovo) in general has very high quality. Not very pretty, but durable as hell.

    • evol on 09/06/2011 - 05:05

      thanks guys, just got myself the 13in edge elite package, bigger/faster hard drive and bluetooth for $485 with the coupon :D

  • dbrent12 on 09/06/2011 - 08:37

    I got the 13in edge elite package during mothersday sale for $610 with free 500gb usb hdd. Spewing but really needed it at the time.
    The 13in edge is a bit clunky compared to some thin/lights going around these days but does feel a lot more solid.
    There isn't too much bloatware installed either which is a good thing.
    Only drawback is the screen looks a bit small in the frame and the viewing angle isn't amazing.

    • evol on 11/06/2011 - 01:08

      Did your 13in edge elite have webcam? I can't find concrete information about it although the specs sheet and images show a webcam in the screen. I can't call Lenovo to verify (or cancel since webcam is essential for me) my order since it's the weekend now…

  • timbo83 on 09/06/2011 - 08:39

    Looks good

  • Musti on 09/06/2011 - 08:52

    Exactly the laptop I wanted and I missed out. Well I'll wait for the weekend one.

    Edit: It's not working for everyone else right? That would be the point of a late night sale haha

    • scotty on 09/06/2011 - 09:23

      Lenovo coupons are activated at unusual hours without prior warnings. Give LATENIGHTSALE a try tonight I guess and it might work.

      • Musti on 09/06/2011 - 20:15

        8:15pm, it's working again.

  • chukkii on 09/06/2011 - 09:37

    I dont understand how Lenovo manages to charge such exorbitant prices for their laptops.

    The specs can't compare with what i can get at dell and yet its about double the price!

    • BoltThrower on 09/06/2011 - 09:42

      Got a link for something comparable to an e520 for around $400?

    • Musti on 09/06/2011 - 09:58

      I also think the weight of the machines is one of the most important factors. So I can't find any comparable systems to the Edge 13 in this price range.

      I want to buy the edge 13 then stick a 180GB SSD in there

  • Jabba the Hutt on 09/06/2011 - 10:46

    I wonder how they came up with the coupon name "TAXPLAY". It has a subtle naughtiness to it, as though by using that coupon you're screwing the tax department :D

  • nadan on 09/06/2011 - 10:53

    Hi, which one of these is a good buy? I am looking to buy one for my sister who is going to Mangolia next week.
    How does i3 (1.3GHz) perform? Is it capable of running photoshop?

    • skywise on 09/06/2011 - 11:14

      i think it takes them 2 weeks to get your lappy delivered.

      • shosho on 09/06/2011 - 11:20

        Yeah from the order summary for the Edge 13:

        Ships from plant within 2-3 weeks
        (plus approx. 5 bus. days delivery)

        • nadan on 09/06/2011 - 11:46

          Ok, any good deals from local shops than?

  • talbot777 on 09/06/2011 - 12:49

    anyone know the battery life on the Edge 13? I'm looking for the cheapest laptop around 13 inch size with at least 6 hours of web browsing battery life? any chance u can upgrade the battery?

  • dbrent12 on 09/06/2011 - 13:17

    yes the weight is the key selling point to the edge 13. dell vostro v130 is $800ish for similar spec (but a nicer looking, bit thinner bit lighter)

    performance wise its ok for light photoshop use. not fiddling with 20mp images etc.
    battery reports 6 hours in windows, but never used it continually to find out.
    $40 more for more hdd, more ram, bt is no brainer.

  • csg001 on 10/06/2011 - 13:59

    website fail showing Edge 13 Elite for $459, click on it and it changes to $539. Such pity… :(

    • scotty on 10/06/2011 - 17:27

      Use the coupon code :)

      • savara on 11/06/2011 - 22:41

        Hi Scotty,

        I don't think TAXTIME coupon is valid.

        trying buy elite model getting following message

        "Coupon not valid for current shopping cart."

        • scotty on 11/06/2011 - 23:17

          Hmm. Just tested and it's indeed not working.

          This is the link to the coupon code: 2 Days Tax Play Weekend Sale

          http://shopap.lenovo.com/au/en/landing_pages/promos/2011/wee…

          As I have said, Lenovo coupons are simply "weird". It seems their marketing department is not connected to their IT department. They might have the marketing page with the coupon code pushed to their website, but the IT department would then flip the discount switch at the wrong time…

      • savara on 11/06/2011 - 23:25

        Hi Scotty,

        on following page it is written that

        "* eCoupon is not valid on X1 ThinkPad Laptops, Edge 13 clearance models or any other clearance configurations or MTMs"

    • ozscharfschutze on 10/06/2011 - 17:29

      I think they were in the process of changing specs for the Elite model. The $459 price was with 2GB RAM, but the one that gets brought up if you clicked it had 4GB RAM. Anyway, looks like they've fixed it now.

      • skywise on 10/06/2011 - 19:07

        well, i ordered one last night and then cancelled it after finding there is no even intergrated graphic card nor camera on this model, however glad to see them throw in another 2 gb in to make this deal more appealing!

        • evol on 11/06/2011 - 00:16

          i thought all the thinkpad edge 13's had webcams? :S
