    $1583.12 after GoCashbackAU, nice.
    Unless it's classified as an electronic bringing it down to $1718.05 (4.5% cashback)

    • What is this category then you think ?

      • +6

        Auto.

      • The listing shows "Computers & Accessories -> Computers -> Laptops"

        • Don't they need electricity to work?

      • LOL

    • +1

      I ordered via shopback, which was also up to 12% cashback but only 4.5% on Electronics and PC, so I wouldn't expect a 12% cashback on laptop.

      • my order is finally shipped tonight, I hope everyone else got it too.

  • Is this the normal or HDR screen?

    • normal. not hdr. excellent deal though.

    • non HDR version

  • +1

    I've got this laptop, it's truly amazing. TDP is unlocked so you can mistreat it however you want.

    • What's your experience with the battery life? Is it as advertised?

    • What's tdp

      • +1

        I am guessing it is thermal design power or thermal design point, is the maximum amount of heat generated by a computer chip or component that the cooling system in a computer is designed to dissipate under any workload.

  • Don't need another laptop, very tempting otherwise.

  • Great first post OP, thanks!

  • These things are excellent!!! If I didn’t already have a MBP I’d buy one!

  • aaaaaahhhhhhh so hard to resist, still waiting for bloody Tiger Lake :(

  • Price Error? Now. $2,849.00

    • change seller to amazon

      • thanks great. although now saying dispatch 1 to 3 months. But got one for the folks.

  • Who has the best cash back?

  • Urrrgu crap just as i was about to buy it the price changed back to $2849?

    • Its still at 1799 for me? click other buying options?

      • +1

    Had mine for nearly a year. I also have the LTE option and HDR screen. Best laptop I've ever had

  • +1

    Gone?! Damn it!!!

  • Damn hope they add more stock!

  • Can anyone get the live chat working

  • I was planning on this one or the x1 yoga

  • Got one from work and it’s a fantastic bit of kit. Lovely screen and light as a feather.

    • Damn I jelly

      I thought x1 yoga just for showing presentations and flipping the screen into tablet mode .

      Can you flip the x1 to show a photo or presentation

      • Nah you cant, i bought an x1 carbon, its a nice laptop, but i regret not buying the yoga

      • Cheapest yoga x1 is 1300 for base model, ends tomorrow. I am contemplating whether I should just get that one or wait until lenovo website have discount since gen 4 is coming. I really want and HDR screen.

  • +4

    too bad…. missed the deal, but I know it will come back for sure :)

    • I hope so too :(

      • No Amazon said price error

        I'm sorry for the inconvenience you've experienced regarding the price of the item.

        I've checked the details and I see that there was an error in the listing the price and hence it was $1799.

        It has immediately been rectified and updated.

        That is the reason why the price has changed to $2,941.93. I regret this inconvenience.

        • K good, thanks… XPS it looks like them!

        • wondering what happened to the people who placed the orders before price update

          • @reacher: I placed an order before the update. I'll post if it gets cancelled.

          • @reacher: I also placed an order before price update and still in stock. No cancellation so far. Fingers crossed! I will let you know if it gets cancelled.
            Thanks to the author vita for the deal!
            Does anybody know how the 3 years warranty works? It is only specified in title (3Y Warranty), nothing in description.

          • +2

            @reacher: The order is shipped for me

            • @XanderYuan: lucky you.

            • +2

              @XanderYuan: mine shipped too, lucky us.

              • @vita: Luckyyyy us! I'm so glad that i bought prime and subscribed to amazon deals (THX OP!!!)

                • @XanderYuan: Mine has been shipped too this morning :) Thanks again vita for the deal! Awesome!

                  • @Soulsnake: Nice. So after 4.5% cashback it was $1718? I ended up getting yoga x1 i5/8gb/256gb/HD for $1300. I guess $400 cheaper is still a good price and I got a 2in1 laptop which I prefer. WQHD & processor are $400 option on the website. If the carbon has WWAN too, I'll be kicking myself on the balls.

                      • @AussieMark: I can't open the link, it asks me to login. Yes, gen 4 has been released in US for a bit. Apparently WWAN card can be added aftermarket (need the card and antenna). Parts wise it is like $300 though, quite expensive.

                        Yoga gen 4 has aluminum finish I heard, but no retractable keyboard and no SD card. Also, somehow no more HDR screen.

                    • @rave75: This is a good price for yoga too but my usage need at least 16gb and 512gb to run VMs + fast micro sd reader to increase storage to 512gb or even 1tb in the future. I don't really need WWAN or 2in1 or touch screen.
                      About 4.5% cashback, I realised this is actually on price before GST so it is $73.6 cashback on $1635. So final price is $1799 - $73.6 = $1725.4 but still a very good price for this machine with 3y warranty.

                      Edit: The new x1 carbon does not seem to have an sd card reader only WWAN in option according to their website or am I wrong?

                      • @Soulsnake: Yeah, my only worry is the non-upgradeable RAM. My current laptop is okay with 8gb (big excel, heaps of chrome tab), but somehow I can't open as much chrome tabs on my 8gb desktop at home.

              • @vita: When is your original order shipment schedule? 1-3 months?

                • @reacher: when I ordered, (i assume OP ordered before I did), there was no time delay (in stock)

                • @reacher: It was in stock when I posted this deal, my order's original delivery was due tomorrow and I think it will be, worried so much the last two days though, finally…

                  • @vita: Amazon is pretty good they will honour it

  • Only thing missing is a decent graphics card. Don't expect to game on integrated graphics

      Or 1.1kg ultra books…

    Bought this, beware of a common screen flicker issue all these suffer from including one i got.

    • Is there any fix? I own an older Yoga 520 and that suffers from the screen flicker too.

      • +1

        Warranty claim. Issue can be really big like the mobo.

    • Low PWM frequency at low brightness setting?

      • Havent tried this. But seems like the issue is there all time time.

  • Just bought x1 yoga gen 3. I waiting on delivery. Does that machine also suffer this issue?

    • Where did you buy it, at what price?

      • Not for that price i wish :(

        Graysonline.

        Was more talking about the screen issue.

        • grays= refurb? I pulled the trigger on yoga x1 for $1300 (base i5/8gb/256gb) last night. Had to, EOFY. The cheapest x1 yoga previously was 1200 and that's with 128gb.

    • also curious hah

  • great price….will the 10th gen intels be good enough to not need a GPU for gaming?

    • They will have around the performance of an MX150 / GT1030, good enough for most light games. This is only for the highest end G7 versions though, opposed the G5 and G1 versions which less performance.

  • +2

    Not as good as before but price now 2000

    https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/offer-listing/B07FF9CF89/ref=dp…

    Amazon said they will guarantee if you dont receive it or receive what is advertised
    (I asked because its a new seller)

    • Hmm..still good price with cashback

  • Watched this deal go by and now I regret not picking one up! Maybe next time…

  • has anyone's order got shipped yet?

    • Still waiting on mine. Says Delivery Estimate:

      Tuesday, 30 July 2019 - Friday, 30 August 2019 by 9:00 pm

      • My one is saying upto September 10!!

        • Haha wtf

          New laptop out by then lol

          • @AussieMark: good thing with amazon is you can always cancel the order before they ship it

            • @reacher: If anyone is thinking of cancelling or returning, id love to take it off your hands.

  • +1

    If anyone is thinking of cancelling or returning, id love to take it off your hands.

    • Well played good sir

    • +1

      I am considering cancelling…

      • I'd be happy to purchase one from someone plus post and a bit of a tip.

    • Like my post states above, these laptops have a serial issue with screen flickering. Be careful of this, especially if by doing this you will not be covered by warranty or Amazon.

  • Anyone got the HDR screen?

    • This is not the HDR one

      • i know. Just asking if anyone HAS one with HDR screen (not from this deal)

  • Just got given one of these through work, awesome laptop no complaints! Using it with the docking station at work and has 4g sim slot for on the go as well.

    • made where do you work i love you!

      Im debating between this and the X1 Yoga gen 4

      PS the X1 Carbon Gen 7 just came out this week :)

    got an order update:

    We are pleased to report that the following item will dispatch sooner than expected:

    "Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon 6th Gen, 14.0'' WQHD, i7-8550U, 16GB RAM, 512GB NVMe SSD, Win 10 Pro, 3Y Warranty"
    Previous estimated arrival date: 01/08/2019 - 12/09/2019
    New estimated arrival date: 11/07/2019 - 15/07/2019

    • Don't get your hopes up - had a similar email indicating that my estimated arrival date was revised to 06/07 (yesterday) - nothing has shipped yet.

      Followed up and was informed that there was an "unexpected delay in stock arrival of the item… (Rep is) still following up with (the) team to procure this item at the earliest so that we can have it delivered".

      • My card was charged today so I assumed they are sending it, Amazon normally won't charge until shipped , will see what happened next week
