Like many here, I've been kicking myself for missing out on the Thinkpad E495 for under $700 earlier this year, but this looks like a similar deal, albeit refurbished. Yes I bought one.

Thanks for TA/CR for the 14% cashback, which should bring this down to $687. Expired

Overall, a 1.2kg convertible ultrabook with a well-balanced spec for a nice price.

Updated 15/5 to include NATION10% coupon at $719

    Is there an extra slot to upgrade the memory?

      apparently you can, dual slots however the thing runs at very low speeds, 1866…

      this is allegedly not a good unit… only up to 5hrs which is about right for 2000 series… since we're about to go to 4000 and even 5000 relatively soon this is probably not a smart buy

    does it come with pen?

        When I got my Ryzen 3 they said no pen, but there was one in box :)

    • soupratt on 15/05/2020 - 16:45

      Have received my order from the earlier sale and it COMES with a PEN. I thought I would have to buy one but there it was. Amazing value for $667 with pen. The notebook looks brand new, no marks or any obvious signs of wear. Got it for high school teen and they love it.

      Will see how battery holds up but seems to be very good despite reviews.

    With CR, this is a great buy! Would have bought one to replace my XPS if I didn't recently buy a battery. Build quality is in Aluminium I hear, as opposed to ABS in the Lenovo.

    @yoshipau Might work for your Missus

    • Fuzor on 08/05/2020 - 17:15

      Are you talking about XPS or Lenovo? The Lenovo equivalent to the XPS and X360 is the Yoga C930 and is the best built laptop I've used. All metal body without any sort of flex anywhere including zero flex on keyboard and screen.

      • OzCheapo on 08/05/2020 - 17:20

        My XPS has keyboard, screen and battery problems so I was looking for a workhorse without a big price tag. The E495/595 suited that purpose. The Yoga is great but in this economic climate I'd use the price difference on other needs.

        This HP isn't as good as the Yoga or the XPS but it has a premium build for the price ($690.) Most laptops in $600+ or even $1,000+ at HN, JB, TGG, Officeworks aren't that competitive spec wise and are plastic construction. Plus if you pair it with HP's premium warranty you're almost set.

    • bdl on 08/05/2020 - 17:20

      Still not Apple levels of Aluminium body, it's defo not a T series Lenovo, either :)

        I don't need to use Mojave OS for work and there is no denying the beauty of Apple products. That said, you're getting similar specs (though older technology) at 30% of the Apple retail.

        • bdl on 08/05/2020 - 20:17

          Catalina has been nothing but problems for me too :(

    • unicorse on 08/05/2020 - 17:53

      Agree about CR. I would not have bought it without the 14% cashback.

  • behindmyego on 08/05/2020 - 17:24

    If you're gonna get refurbished, check out Dell. I bought a better specs one 4-5 years ago for $700. Plus it's Dell. I've never hated anything more than I hated HP 🙄

      You obviously haven't used Dell Inspiron then :)

      • ShipShapeRC on 08/05/2020 - 20:31

        I had a dell inspiron that was good except losing screws all the time. I had another dell many years ago and it would burn your legs and the screen kept dying from new.

          Lol, yes I think all low end consumer stuff will have a higher annoyance factor and there is a bit of luck of the draw. I've had an LG g4 for years and its been one of the best phones ever owned yet when I bought it the boot loop issue was surfacing on some units and everyone started complaining and screaming NEVER BUY THIS PHONE. I have seen people say the lenovo E's are terrible, mine have been great. Dell, I've had 2 good, 2 bad. MSI - I've had 7 and they were surprisingly good for some thing so crazily cheap. My LG G7 has had mixed reviews - love mine. My Nokia 7 had good reviews, was built okay but so many apps would not run on it. The reviews on this HP, people seem to love them or hate them. I have plenty of spare screws if they drop out. Unless you go real high end and pay the premium, I think most will be okay and some will be an issue. That's life.

      I hear you. HP has no idea how to make a good laptop.

      anyway consumer grade hardware is a throwaway garbage, whatever the brand, but literally at the next job interview I am asking what kind of laptop I am getting. if it's another ProBook no thank you

      ugly, creaking, horrible keyboard and lame battery life

      yuck

  • Neatoboy on 08/05/2020 - 17:25

    Already out of stock. Missed out unfortunately.

      Sorry I think I beat you to the last one by about 5 minutes or less.

  • mikk on 08/05/2020 - 17:48

    I ordered these before and then they came back to me a week later saying they have no stock but they can substitute a lower spec model for the same price.

    I ordered 3 and they weren't supposed to have a pen included, the first one had no pen and the other 2 did.

    Doesn't exactly sound like HP runs a tight ship.

  • ShipShapeRC on 08/05/2020 - 19:45

    I got one, I think the last unit. Shall see how it compares to my E495 and my E595. My wife wants the pen for drawing. Should be a step up from what she is using from OZB deal 8 years ago https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/65022 It still runs surprisingly well with max ram, win10 and SSD. The cost of ownership on that has been around $7 a month not including the SSD upgrade.

  • ToyInTheAttic2 on 09/05/2020 - 14:20

    What's HP refurbished gear like? Ordered a 2019 Spectre x360 for the missus for what seems like a great price. 512gb 16gb i7 8565 for $1450ish.

    • unicorse on 10/05/2020 - 19:11

      No idea, but a bunch of us are about to find out. Feel free to post your experiences here. Delivery of these should be by mid week I believe.

      • ShipShapeRC on 11/05/2020 - 07:37

        Yes my eta was mid week.

        • ShipShapeRC on 11/05/2020 - 15:24

          Err mine wont ship till 18/5

      • ToyInTheAttic2 on 13/05/2020 - 07:12

        Guess I won't find out as HP have cancelled the transaction for whatever reason. missus hasn't received any email but will chase it up after her shift.

        PITA as the surface and xps deals we were also considering have dried up too.

      • ShipShapeRC on 12/05/2020 - 12:04

        So you have yours? Mine shipped today, ETA Monday.

  • ShipShapeRC on 11/05/2020 - 15:54

    Back in stock again, cashback back to normal though.

  • ShipShapeRC on 12/05/2020 - 12:06

    Out of stock again. I would say they show stock when they come in ex-lease. So dribs and drabs.

  • unicorse on 14/05/2020 - 00:06

    So I've received mine. As expected, looks like a brand new product with no marks, fingerprints or dust. The packaging was a bit makeshift though - just bubble wrapped and shoved in a box. Also came with a stylus and battery, which was unexpected but a nice touch. Definitely worth the money, given the specs and portability.

    • ShipShapeRC on 14/05/2020 - 14:26

      Did you mean it came with a spare battery or is it the power supply that looks rounded like a battery case.

      • unicorse on 14/05/2020 - 15:32

        AAAA Battery was for the pen - sorry for the confusion.

        • ShipShapeRC on 14/05/2020 - 20:18

          It has a battery? Better go have a look at mine. It must be in there as it works.

  • ShipShapeRC on 14/05/2020 - 14:25

    Mine just arrived. The case is MINT, I wonder if they replace them when refurb? Mine came with a pen and a power supply. The packaging was as mentioned above, aftermarket looking but totally fine.

    • unicorse on 14/05/2020 - 15:34

      Mine has been throwing errors that "HP Pen Control is not compatible with this device" on startup. The pen itself worked fine, as did both buttons. So I just uninstalled HP Pen Control and all is fine. Does yours do the same?

      • ShipShapeRC on 15/05/2020 - 00:27

        Just playing with installing stuff now and I get same error. Pen works but Pen Control not compatible.

  • ShipShapeRC on 15/05/2020 - 00:29

    Use code NATION10% for 10% off. Can some one report the change please, I have already made 1 report on this listing when it came back into stock so now I cannot make another report. Brings price down to $719 before possible cash cashbacks which may be voided by code use. Code is better anyway.

    In case anyone wants to know , my order from the earlier sale came WITH a PEN.
