    If you have Ebay Plus you can get Lenovo Ideapad Gaming Ryzen 4600H laptop for $1219 using "Party21" voucher code vs the store deal posted earlier of $1259.

      I see where you're coming from but they are very different laptops. This is more akin to the Flex 5.

        I think you misunderstood my post. I know they are very different laptops. The Ideapad gaming is around 2kg. I was just stating that the Ideapad gaming is also a good deal and cheaper then the previous post earlier today on Ozbargain, which was the Lenovo site directly.

  • mirovich on 02/09/2020 - 21:01

    Damn it. Just bought it 2 days ago for $974 from their website.

  • TripleCheesePizza on 02/09/2020 - 21:07

    How does this compare to the E15 Gen 2? Only differences I can spot are smaller screen but bigger SSD

    • Bedgrub on 02/09/2020 - 21:33

      Slimmer, brighter screen I believe

    • ethan961 on 03/09/2020 - 07:25

      This has no SODIMM slot so you have to get all the soldered RAM you need from the start. Makes it a hard no for me, went for the Flex 5 14 instead. Other than that, it's not a ThinkPad so you lose the trackpoint and that style keyboard. Screen is better than other Lenovo budget offerings but mostly only in brightness. E14/15 have 45Wh battery compared to 57. List not exhaustive, but those are probably the major differences.

  • janoski on 02/09/2020 - 21:27

    Spare slot? 8 GB is abit anemic

    • choofa on 02/09/2020 - 21:34

      Soldered ram? 16gb would be better

      • Chicken feed on 02/09/2020 - 21:41

        look like 4 + 4 with one of them being soldered. Reported on reddit that the max is 12 GB. So take out the 4 GB ram and add in a single 8 GB.

        • stephendt on 03/09/2020 - 10:23
          +2

          Should work with a 16GB stick as well for 20GB RAM.

          Edit: says it doesn't have a DIMM slot here: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-IdeaPad-5-14ARE05-in-re…

        • smashman42 on 04/09/2020 - 14:09

          You sure it isn't 8gb soldered and a free slot? That's how Lenovo's own site usually reads for these things. 4gb soldered and another 4gb sodimm would suck a bit

          Edit: found a review of a slightly higher model with it opened up with pics - it is 4+4 hard soldered no slots, spewin!

          https://www.ultrabookreview.com/39834-lenovo-ideapad-5-14are…

          on the plus side it has a second M2 slot for more SSD space if you're into that.

          I only want it for my kid for school and to be able to play Minecraft and Fortnite so still might get it anyway even with the munted RAM

      I think it's a typo. The description says 5 and the model number 81YM000MAU is a 5 on the Lenovo website

      • Doowyah on 02/09/2020 - 22:41

        Correct. I just cut and paste from eBay and didn’t notice the typo. I’ve updated the title. Thanks @happydude

    For basic office tasks - how much difference will I notice between this and the Yoga Slim 7 4800U processor?

    • Dvbargain on 02/09/2020 - 23:00

      Zilch. Basic office tasks can be done on most laptops, definitely don't need a 4800u for that!

    This or the Flex 5 14"?

    • Sharp on 03/09/2020 - 07:14

      Flex 5 is foldable, comes with a pen and 16gb ram.

    I'd avoid, the keys are very flimsy and Lenovo are very money grubbing when things go wrong. My key got stuck and the little butterfly plastic part of one key broke off.

    2 month old laptop so I tried chase up warranty but they say because the key fell off as the plastic part broke, I would need to pay for them to fix. And get this, they need to replace the whole keyboard! Its a tiny flimsy plastic piece that looks like it was made to break..

    Just have nothing go wrong and you'll be fine..

      I had a similar experience with HP
      Said I had to get a whole new keyboard
      Except they couldn’t even provide the keyboard. They do not even provide a replacement keyboard for my laptop let alone a single key

    Where's the Yoga Slim 7 4700U/4800U? Would love to get one in Australia

    • shellshocked on 02/09/2020 - 23:23

      The 4800u version seems to be a Harvey Norman exclusive at the moment:

      https://www.harveynorman.com.au/lenovo-yoga-slim-7-14-inch-r…

      I spoke to the online Lenovo sales rep, mid last month, regarding the 4700u version and they said it was supposed to arrive at the end of August. Will need to see if they list anything online this week, if what they said was true.

          Yes! Considering that the 4500u version can be bought for $1209 from the Lenvo Education store.

          Supposedly the S540 13" AMD version is making it's way to Australia too.

      Gained screen brightness, DisplayPort, shipping time, 40 bucks, local warranty.

      • bamboozle48 on 03/09/2020 - 18:03

        Thanks - I decided to go with the Flex 5. I'll be hooking it up to an external monitor anyway so not as fussed with the screen brightness and the 16GB is more important to me.

    It's a shame that the display panel is not very colour accurate and contrast ratio is pretty poor. Does get 300 nits brightness ish, but at this price point i'll give it a pass.

    I wouldn't spend this sort of money on a laptop that is limited to 8GB RAM. There are better choices for around the same sort of money.
