    very good price, especially with 3 years warranty, but i will prefer non touch matt screen, if i want touch screen, i will rather get the yoga version.

    • +2

      yep, touch only makes sense on 360 hinge

      • If you've ever had a (non hinged) laptop with touch you'd know this isn't true.

        • +1

          and why is that?

          • +8

            @CyberMurning: Because touch is useful and "makes sense" even with a regular laptop.

            • @xmail: It’s a user-dependent thing. I have a touch-screen laptop and only ever use the touch screen accidentally when trying to flick dust or lint off it.

      • better to have it than not to have it imo

        • +1

          It comes at the expense of a higher res screen and added weight. But having used a touch laptop before, I'd never go non-touch again.

          • @xmail: true but high res screens have downsides as well like severely increased battery consumption and also can add extra cost, just depends on how well it is executed, i believe lenovo do it pretty well but i have used some that are pretty trash

          • +1

            @xmail: What makes you say that? I have used touch laptops and best not to touch the screen or it ends up with messy fingerprints all over it, not to mention that it's far faster to use a mouse for most things.

            Best touch laptops are definitely the 360 yoga style ones which are great for going through your photos with

            • @Agret: Depends on how you use it.

              At a desk with an attached mouse - not much use for touch.
              Lying in bed lazily scrolling through web sites or zooming into areas of a photo/map - touch comes in handy.

              Yoga is definitely appealing if you plan on using it like a tablet. Personally I prefer the slimmer form factor and lighter weight as I only ever fold it 'laptop style'.

    • so the touch screen is non matte/shiny?
      I think the Yoga version is quite a bit heavier.

      • yes. yoga is heavier and thicker.

        • Yoga 1.4kg vs Carbon 1.13kg

      • to answer my own question :
        14" FHD (1920x1080) IPS Anti-glare, 10-point Multi-touch

        so - it's a matte screen

        • Where did you read that this one is anti glare?

          • +2

            @retainer: It says it on the Lenovo Aus website itself. Only the 14" HDR WQHD (2560x1440) model of the X1 Carbon Gen 6 has a glossy display. All others, including this FHD touch display, are anti-glare matte screens.

      • Can confirm it's matte.

  • Odd they solder ddr3 on this thing

    • LPDDR3 consumes less power than DDR4 in standby mode

      • +3

        I assume he was referring to the soldering aspect.

    • Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the X1 Carbon is soldered, X1 Extreme isn't.

      • +2

        you are right

        • Thanks for the confirmation! Waiting for the Gen 2 X1Es to come out so pretty excited (also to upgrade that RAM at some later date)

    • At least this one is maxed out at 16gb, not like you could upgrade it if it wasn't soldered :)

    • The X1 carbon series from Gen 1 - 7 never had user upgradable Ram…

    • Not odd at all. Corporations will rant waxical on the evils of plastic bags and straws then work damn hard to make sure your laptop or mobile has proprietary batteries and RAM soldered in so it's uneconomic not to bin it and start over. What drives me bonkers is people fall for it.

  • Was just about to post this! Great deal! Purchased.

  • Got 1

  • ssd can be upgraded?

    • yes. The ssd inside is samsung P981 I think, which is very good.

  • Copped one, thanks!

  • Anyone know the weight?

    • 1.13kg

  • How does this compare to the gen 7? Looking to upgrade my work laptop

    • +1

      Gen 7 is like $1000 more, not worth it.

    • I don't think gen 7 is any reasonable update

  • -1

    Wow it even does fingering?

    "Flick your finger for privacy"

    Is that like the double clap and the lights to off?

    Super cool!

    Probably has voice activation too

    • +1

      "Flick your finger for privacy"

      Sounds like a spin on a negative that you can't see the screen when you're blocking it with your hand, I guess nobody else can either though 😅

  • It's also half price in USA at momento

  • Seriously good price…

  • +3

    Hoping the $1799 QHD i7 16GB makes a reappearance!

    • +3

      I want the HDR screen!

  • Anyone know if an LTE-A card can be added later to this model?

    • +2

      Some people at reddit suggested they managed to do it. But you gotta install the card + the antenna too. The card itself is like $300.

  • +1

    Hmm this or yoga 8GB RAM for $1100. I think yoga will be more useful with the touch screen, on the other hand, 8GB ram might not be enough since I open lots of chrome tabs.

    • yeah im trying to think where I can go to view Lenovo Yoga and Carbon in person

      Any ideas? I was going to ask them later today

      • Some officeworks perhaps. They do sell them online, I suppose some stores will have it on display

    • I have the Yoga and rarely use it in tablet mode. 16x9 just isn’t a great aspect ratio for tablet use.

  • I saw this deal this early morning. I'm regret not to post it. So many positive votes.

    • Haha they don't actually give anything..voted

      • Oh well, at least I see myself helpful for community :)

        • +1

          Dont worry bro You can still help me

          By not buying laptop lol

          Kidding. I am thinking about it but going to check my lenovo discount first

    • +2

      haha… you are not getting paid for upvotes…

  • Would anyone recommend the HP ProBook 645 for $640 after 20% CA discount? It does not have much reviews. I am looking for a laptop less than $700 for casual browsing, photos storage, etc.

  • Cannot find how many nits this screen is

    300, 400 or 500?

    Conclusion:
    BUY BUY BUY

    • Especially as this only has the 8Gb soldered on RAM which is non-up-gradable and a lower spec'd CPU.

      • +1

        Sharp eyes my friend

        I noticed the ram but not the higher CPU :)

        Just pulled the trigger

        I was waiting for X1 carbon YOga 4 Gen or X1 carbon 7th Gen

        but… $1000 off cannot really beat that price.

        I Can always upgrade later. :) muahahahahahhaha

        I AM RICH!!!

        I am rich (I mean from saving money… actually I am poor hah)

  • hmm. this or the i7 for $1596 https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/470538

    • if I'm paying $240 more then I would probably wait for gen 7 to go on sale

      • thanks for reassuring me i made the right decision :P

      • +1

        Does the i7 get hotter? I compared the CPUs a while back and saw negligible difference. Would rather a cooler system sitting on my balls.

        • ballsafetyisparamount

  • +4

    Dam this was an amazing deal.
    Im so glad it didnt last so i didnt have to buy one :P

    • What gives you the impression it is over?

      • It went out of stock earlier today

        • Ah, didn't see any mention of that in this post. Glad I bought before it was even listed here. I've been eyeing this one off on CA for a week now, was nearly about to buy even without the 20% off.

          On track to be delivered tomorrow.

  • +2

    I was devastated to miss out but noticed that the eBay listing said 99% sold and had a feeling there was one stuck in a cart. Refreshed a couple of times and it appeared! Great deal, thanks for sharing :)

    • Haha probably me

      I opened up 5 of my Amazon accounts to see which one had eBay plus

      Each of them has one or 2 in cart (had)

  • Trigger pulled! I was originally looking at a latitude but the 3 year warranty was what did it for me :)

  • Does anyone still want one?

    I am going to clear my carts and put some back on lol

  • If only I can game on this. Would be perfect. I don't think this has a decent enough GPU

    • At this price you can buy an external GPU and still have it be overall cheaper than a comparable laptop with discrete graphics included. Although at the same time that might be overkill for a U series processor, but atleast it's an option.

      • Got an example of an external to attached to this? Need some for general gaming mid price range

  • can not apply the code…
    This code can't be applied to your order.

    • open incognito mode or clear your cookies

      • same error :(

        • let me test it :p

        • +1

          works for me.

          I tested it on ebay plus account

          Postage Free
          Vouchers/coupons -AU $339.00
          Order total AU $1,356.00

          Try opening incognito mode

          I had the same issue few days ago

  • Got a shipping confirmation. That's quicker than I expected. Now to make it to Melbourne

    Is there much difference between DDr3 RAm and ddr4?

    • yeah ddr3 ram is better

      • -3

        why? I know it uses less Battery but tell me why

        And i dont wanna hear you cry, tell me whyyyyyy

  • damn was waiting on this and missed it… AGHHHHH!!! It'd have to be that one day I don't check ozb 50 times… fsssss!!

  • +10

    The eBay allocation for these have now sold out and its not likely we will be able to secure more volume stock for this deal….however

    We do have a significant number held in reserve for one of our major corporate clients. We expect to hear back in the next day or two if they want the full allocation and if not we will push any remaining stock back up onto ebay.

      Really good that you guys are looking after this place.

      Do you have the i7+512G option?
      Thanks

    • Yoga with HDR screen please =)

    Oh lordy thanks so much for a response! A response from the seller themselves.. this is pure gold for me.. any chance I can PM my phone number for notice so I can jump on it (dreaming probably yeah I know)… would have been on it if my 'ol man wasn't just moved to palliative care :-\

    edit: or does somoene know how I can set up instant emails for say, posts under a certain area ie /tag/laptop ?

  • Plz expire this deal so I can stop clicking refresh every few mins…

    To add insult, ebay states this..
