    I know this is so popular and probably has many advantages, but are there any disadvantages I need to know?

      It's large and heavy. My E570 is great as a desktop replacement that rarely leaves home though.

      • Agret on 23/08/2019 - 15:40

        What's the advantage of a backlit keyboard? Surely just a small aesthetics thing?

          Super useful for using in the dark or low light. Otherwise you end up having to squint and use the screen as a light. It's a luxury sure, but a useful feature

          I say this as someone who can type fine without looking, but as a programmer you need to use the F keys and the difference between their assigned functions is important

        Obviously Linux is pretty broad but cannocial note the T495 is supported, the real question is the wifi card I imagine.

        • magnolia on 23/08/2019 - 20:31

          okay…. I've got a lenovo-v330 that has RT8822BE built in (the machine is also from a bargain deal here. thanks TA for that!) and it didn't work with Ubuntu 16.04 when I first installed it, because that dist has a very old kernel

          what I did was to use a network cable to upgrade linux kernel to 4.14 and the issue is resolved. So I can confirm RT8822BE is not an issue for ubuntu

      • [Deactivated] on 23/08/2019 - 15:37

        I don't think these have issues with thermals.
        My E485 didn't and this is straight better

        The Intel versions have had thermal issues. Dunno if they still do.

    • superuser on 23/08/2019 - 14:14

      wifi has problem, it uses realtek RT8822BE card.

      • StrayfireX on 23/08/2019 - 17:40
        +6

        Realtek RT8822BE is just so garbage in my e495.

        Had to replace it with an Intel 9260AC because it was giving me insane ping spikes in games, made YouTube videos cut out for minutes and isn't smooth at downloading (basically keeps failing).

        Best $18 I ever spent.

          thank you very much, install and work perfectly first time from booting, and no coil whine noise.

        I'm leaving this for future purchasers. I'm happy with my computer but the WiFi wouldn't stay connected for more than a minute, as others have said and is represented all over the internet.

        Put an Intel in today and all fixed. I don't know what percentage of the Realtek cards are bad but you must assume you will have to spend $30 on a replacement.

        Easy to fit, and pop another 8gb of ram in while you're at it.

        Still a good deal, but beware.

        I don't know how Lenovo keep shipping this rubbish

    Does this work on any others?

  • jjj123 on 23/08/2019 - 12:50

    is this cpu comparable to i5-8265U or i5-8250U?

    • Kontiki on 23/08/2019 - 13:20
      -1

      Yes. The i5 is about 7% faster.

    • kid-vhee on 23/08/2019 - 13:23

      https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i5-8250U-vs…

      i5 suppsoedbly between 5-10% quicker - real-life application and usage may vary. Cores/thread/cache/clock very similar, Ryzen has newer tech, and definitely a better integrated GPU. Unless the laptops come with discrete cards, pick the ryzen. Laptop performance itself varies depending on RAM, HDD/SSD, OS etc.

      EDIT: Ryzen 3's Vega 8 graphics exceeds i5 HD 620 graphics perfomance up to 73%

      • [Deactivated] on 23/08/2019 - 15:41
        +6

        CPU bench is pretty useless. And the performance of these is very dependant on the individual laptop and how it throttles.

        The Ryzen 5 595 is faster than the i5 590, and even faster than the i7 version over a sustained load

        https://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-strikes-back-Ryzen-5-3500U…

        • kid-vhee on 28/08/2019 - 19:22

          not entirely useless, a comparison nonetheless but very uncontrolled (cause user submitted). Hence why I'd said "real-life application and usage may vary…Laptop performance itself varies depending on RAM, HDD/SSD, OS etc."

    • [Deactivated] on 23/08/2019 - 16:35
      +1

      Roughly 5 hours web browsing on the last gen(2nd), base off the 10-15% efficiency gain in 3rd compare to 2nd I would say 5.5-6 hours. Is not the best out there.

      • dukeGR4 on 23/08/2019 - 16:58

        that's pretty crap…

        That's just marginally better than their Legion counterpart (4 hr+ of mixed use, at best)

    So no GPU .. will integrated graphics allow some level of gaming?

    • millsy c on 23/08/2019 - 13:19
      +3

      It has a radeon vega igpu, which from all reports I've seen is somewhere around MX150 levels. So some level of gaming, yeah, you're not gonna be playing at full resolution with details though!

    • Kontiki on 23/08/2019 - 13:23
      +4

      Yes it has a Vega 8, not too bad and heaps better than Intel integrated.

      • millsy c on 23/08/2019 - 13:25
        +2

        Yeah for sure, I just picked up an x395 because the Radeon platform seemed a nicer balance of performance between GPU and CPU vs the Intel platform with the weaker iGPU.

    • Deviner on 23/08/2019 - 13:46
      +1

      I had a quick look here which gives a fairly loose guideline on FPS (benchmarks are used on a variety of different laptops with RX Vega 8's, but some will have different CPU's).

      You're in luck if you're a big Farming Simulator fan.

    • dukeGR4 on 23/08/2019 - 16:57
      +1

      some level of gaming

      maybe at lowest setting…

      For titles like Overwatch, Dota, you could probably turn it up a notch or two in the settings but do not expect much.

  • Dubsys on 23/08/2019 - 15:43

    Trying to find something around $600 for mum if anybody has any ideas

    • dukeGR4 on 23/08/2019 - 16:55

      something

      as in laptop? or just electronic devices in general?

      Maybe an iPad? Use UniDays for 10% discount
      600 could get you any consumer headphones/speakers on the market.
      Perhaps a GoPro? 289-319 for Silver.

      But ngl, 600AUD is a stretch for a laptop. Probably go for one of those cheapo Lenovo laptops. Ideapad S145 iirc is only 500AUD on Harvey, maybe you can find it for way cheaper.

      • Dubsys on 23/08/2019 - 16:58

        Yeah I've been hoping to find a great deal for a laptop around 600~ for a laptop but I'm really struggling, it doesn't need to do much outside of web browsing / youtube / facebook but it'd be nice if it did it smoothly for a few years. Might have to consider asking her if she's adverse to a desktop setup cause I can get one of those $250 4th gen i5 machines and it'll probably be fine for another 10 years.

      • Agret on 23/08/2019 - 17:10

    • Agret on 23/08/2019 - 17:05
      +1

      There is one on sale for $611 I was looking at last night, should be perfect. It's got 256GB SSD, 8GB RAM & a 15.6" FHD screen — https://www.lenovo.com/au/en/laptops/ideapad/ideapad-l-serie… (scroll to bottom of the page to buy it)

      Processor in it is an 8th Gen Intel Core i3-8145U which isn't going to be a huge performance king or anything but for web surfing and general computing it's more than enough. Leagues above the crappy celerons you normally get at this pricepoint.

      • Laziofogna on 23/08/2019 - 20:46

        • DonWilson on 24/08/2019 - 11:09

    For people who want to upgrade the SSD to 516GB, the current deal with 14% cash back seems to be cheaper than this expired deal TA-DAD595.
    It also includes the first hard drive 1TB HDD with 516GB SSD. The previous deal only had SSD.
    https://www.lenovo.com/au/en/laptops/thinkpad/thinkpad-edge/…
    I'm I missing something? If not, I'm going to cancel my previous order and repurchase with the new deal.
