This model is essentially a T14 with better screen, more RAM and different GPU driver rather than a proper mobile workstation. It is still nevertheless a pretty good deal for those looking for a solid business laptop. The 16GB RAM version with the same 400nits screen is also on sale ($1475.10).

For those who are looking for a more general purpose notebook and doesn't need the superior build quality the t/p series offer, the S540 is still a better value for money one to get, the price has gone down to $1106.10 from $1190 as quoted in the previous deal. Ships in 2 business days.

    Not sure why you are complaining about the on board graphics of a business grade laptop with a 4750U. It can still handle plenty of games with low/medium settings, as indicated in this video.

    4750U also has business grade features such as encryption of RAM.

      Exactly it's a business-focused laptop, Never really enjoyed gaming on a laptop because they tend to have short battery life,plain heavy and gaming on a laptop really isn't a fantastic experience.

      Ah! I thought it is for engineering/science/IT students because of 32 GB RAM. Most applications used by such students would be benefited by CUDA, so even a GTX1650 would be better.

        All Lenovo models are available through the education store.

        Despite the lack of dedicated graphic card, the P14s is ISV certified for AutoCAD, which I believe is to do with the driver it comes with. There is an intel version of P14s with Quadro T500 available but it costs significantly more and therefore not a deal.

        Thinkpad has always been more of a business laptop, most students would care more about price, look, long battery life rather than build quality (this is a mil spec laptop).
        This laptop would suit someone who needs a laptop with heaps of RAM for VMs, photo editing or light CAD work or simply anyone who has a 1.5-1.6k budget for a decent 14" business laptop.

  Battery is on the lower side. Also why do the still have the ugly monitor chins, heaps of ultrabooks have managed to do away with them.

    Agree about the battery but after cracking the monitor on a few high-end ultrabooks with thin bezels I am totally OK with ugly chin.

  • 

    DaTa on 09/06/2021 - 15:37

    ultrabooks tend to be slower in speeds due to that low amounts of airflow.

  disappointing that the newer thinkpads don't seem to have detachable batteries. a battery is only going to last so long and i doubt it will last as long as the laptop will before you start noticing degradation.

    They probably introduced planned obsolescence, as they saw how much it was making for others.

      yep. it's just disappointing because thinkpads used to be one of the few laptops that were quite modular in design, you can still get older thinkpads (secondhand) that are quite good, at least for business work, you can even upgrade them with some better parts (ram, storage, even screens) with a bit of research. they probably wouldn't be good for gaming, but i don't really believe any laptop is good for gaming. i used laptops for gaming and they never lasted that long, compared to a desktop, before i started noticing overheating issues and other degradation.

        yea I love how modular and serviceable they used to be, but it is just the trend with all smartphones and laptops these days. It isn't hard to replace the battery on this thing though, a screwdriver to unscrew 6 screws and a hard piece of plastic to pry open to hinges on the case will give you access to the battery, so-dimm and m2 slot.

  How do I access the education store do I need to be a student?

    Please read the last line of the post, you need either an .edu.au email or unidays account to access the education store, just ask around, majority of people have friends, neighbours or family who can help.
    If not, you can try to bargain with store rep through live chat, consider $50-100 more than the education store price a good negotiated deal.

    I just ordered one for $1708.80 and I don't have a .edu.au email.

    As @deliriouss mentioned you can negotiate with a store rep on live chat (thanks for the tip!) I didn't expect to match the deal but to get within $90 I was OK with.

    I did have to go through the live chat twice though, the first person wasn't that helpful and first quoted over $1900, but I said I could get a better price easily using code "HIGHEND" which was offered as a popup when I was just browsing the P14s model page on the store. They then offered $1780 which was better but not great.

    The next day I jumped on live chat again, said I was disconnected with the last person who offered something near $1700 and they gave me the $1708 quote straight away which I was happy with.

    EDIT: I also went through Cashrewards, technically it's not eligible for cashback as a negotiated deal but you never know your luck. It was tracked as $124.60 cash back so fingers crossed!

      I did the exact same thing the other day. Ordered mine after getting a quote through live chat for $1723. The HIGHEND code made it around $1850 or so. Definitely worth getting a quote through live chat. I wouldn't have thought of it if it were not for this site.

        yeah I didn't know haggling is a thing with Lenovo until I saw it in other deals. I wonder if Dell allows it as well?
