    And battery still as bad as the big brother?

    • ongrudy on 06/07/2019 - 16:09

      How many hours is the battery life?

        My 485 is something like a 4-5hr laptop at best.

        I would expect this to be a little better like a 5-6 hr but that's being optimistic.

        I feel you have to be realistic about your expectations.

        This is a quad core laptop w/8Gb 240Gb ssd and it has an ok integrated gpu… AND its a Thinkpad.

        For the money I expected some shortcuts and that's the battery.

        Mine doesnt leave the house much anyway.

          Thanks. Battery life too short for school.

    • Yuri Lowell on 06/07/2019 - 18:11

      These cheaper laptops always have 3-4 hour battery life.

    Will this work with Ubuntu?

    • jameso on 06/07/2019 - 18:03

      Yes.

      • djevoultion on 06/07/2019 - 18:57

        Thx mate. Have you tested it with the latest version?

        • jameso on 06/07/2019 - 19:20

          No.

        • idonotknowwhy on 06/07/2019 - 19:34

          I know someone with this laptop who runs Manjaro KDE with no issues.

        • valf on 07/07/2019 - 14:48

          I'm running Ubuntu 19.04 on the 15'' version of this, works pretty good out of the box.

          • djevoultion on 07/07/2019 - 17:15

            @valf: Thanks, how much battery life are you getting?

            • valf on 07/07/2019 - 19:41

              @djevoultion: Haven't even tried yet, will report back

            • valf on 08/07/2019 - 18:35

              @djevoultion: About 3 and 1/2 hours, fairly high luminosity, watching videos online.

              One thing to note, one of my USB ports seems to have a hardware failure. Still waiting on Lenovo support to even reply to me…

              • CyberMurning on 08/07/2019 - 19:58

                @valf: geesus so little time.. glad i didnt buy. completely fail product

    • nedski on 06/07/2019 - 19:50

      I have the L340 and it has issues with not recognising the touchpad. You just have to update the Kernel to 5.00+

    I'm using this laptop now. Great value for money, especially with the cashback. A few things to note, it's quite heavy, bezels are quite large and the screen brightness is very average.

    • NimNim on 06/07/2019 - 18:47

      How about the fan noise, constantly spinning? Is this laptop overall size getting closer to a 15 inch laptop because of the larger bezel?

      • rubenastley on 06/07/2019 - 20:50

        It runs very quiet even under load. I can barely hear the fan noise. I don't have a 15 inch laptop to compare but my guess would be yes.

    • ozhunter68 on 06/07/2019 - 21:56

      This laptop seems to only weigh 1.75 Kg and size is 329 x 242 x 19.9 mm which is all well within acceptable limits of a laptop with 14" screen

      ( not comparing to ultrabooks/Macbook Air or smaller screen laptops ).

    • noworrywhyrabc on 07/07/2019 - 07:44

      Do you know how long it takes for them to process the cashback?

      • CC123 on 07/07/2019 - 15:41

      Try on Gumtree. Just make sure it matches your current one. Today I managed to bargain one 8gb DDR4 at $40 and it's brand new.

  • Anthony8888 on 07/07/2019 - 08:20

    The discount code is invalid, still show $1300+.

    Who know to to get this deal to price above? Thank you

  • [Deactivated] on 07/07/2019 - 08:30

    I would say that it's not worth investing in a laptop that can't deliver 8+ hours of browsing on a single charge. there was a Dell deal recently on a 1.59kg 15 inch laptop that ticks all the boxes. magnesium body. bright screen. 97wh battery. i5-9300H and gtx 1650. that's a good package, and price was $1300, definitely worth it. thise AMD based Lenovo's are crippled to srart with, why even bother.

    • CyberMurning on 07/07/2019 - 09:31

      Double in price, bro

      • [Deactivated] on 07/07/2019 - 10:11

        you get what you pay for, bro. also, there are better options if you're not willing to spend $1000+.

        • SlowCarSlow on 07/07/2019 - 10:54

          Any specific ones? My father is looking for something about as powerful as this. Missed out on the Inspiron deal a few days back which would have been excellent.

            @SlowCarSlow: unfortunately a lot of eofy deals are over! if I had to buy something right now, I would choose this: https://www.dell.com/en-au/outlet/ProductDescription?cfID=07…

            why? 3 year next business day on site warranty for a peace of mind. better everything, from keyboard to chipset. larger battery. design proven by generations of business grade hardware. many people turn their nose at refurbished, but Dell is different. I dare you to find any difference from brand new machine.

            • SlowCarSlow on 07/07/2019 - 11:18

              @[Deactivated]: Yes the timing was unfortunate to say the least. Looks like that one has a Hard Drive rather than an SSD, so it won't suit. Thanks for finding that though.

              • [Deactivated] on 07/07/2019 - 11:29

                @SlowCarSlow: that's a quick job to replace that. check outlet often, a lot of good models disappeared in the last few days. since Dell started offering 3 year pro warranty on all latitude in the outlet, they go like hot potatoes.

                p.s. jeez I didn't know someone still configures business laptops with spinning drives to save, what, $10? stingy.

              • [Deactivated] on 07/07/2019 - 11:54

                @SlowCarSlow: https://www.dell.com/en-au/outlet/ProductDescription?cfID=EC…

                this one is a killer deal! haha

                only one year warranty, but i7 and mx130!

            • Mallard on 07/07/2019 - 14:54

              @[Deactivated]: 50% more expensive and with a spinning hard disk?

                -1

                @Mallard: you are very perceptive. also it's a business grade laptop with 3 years on site warranty. swap out the drive, and you're away laughing. check the other link below, the vostro variant. that's about the same price as Lenovo but much better.

          This is what you meant, right? Agree good spec and that GPU is way better than MX series.

            @CyberMurning: yes. most importantly, I love seeing a 1.59kg sturdy 15inch chassis. and they managed to fit in 97wh battery, too! I want to see more models based on that config.

        • ChocolateTown on 07/07/2019 - 14:28

          Would it not occur to you that the vast majority of people would PREFER to have a bigger budget on pretty much anything? While suggesting maybe pushing budget $100 more MIGHT be useful for some people, over $500 more is essentially useless IMHO.

          • bazzato on 08/07/2019 - 07:11
            +1

            @ChocolateTown: I agree with this. I see a lot of posts in computer threads suggesting better value laptops but they are 50 to 100% more expensive. It also depends on what you are using it for. Many of these cheaper laptops will do exactly what is needed for many users.

  • Brendoo on 07/07/2019 - 11:06

    Any chance to get a discount code for the standard E495 (part number 20NEA000AU) that ships in 6-9 days? The link provided goes to the custom E495 which ships in 2-3 weeks. Specs are identical for both. Be nice not to have to wait so long for exactly the same laptop.

    I tried to use the coupon code for the standard E495 but it's invalid for that model.

  • Store Reptightarse @ Cashrewards on 07/08/2019 - 16:10

    For those subscribed to this thread, this same deal is back but with double the cashback…
