    Wish I waited, bought mine with the exact specs from the EDU store for ~$50 more. All in all this is a great laptop, no issues so far.

    • cnut on 11/11/2021 - 10:33

      How long ago and did you enjoy using it so far?

      • bww on 11/11/2021 - 11:01

        A month ago. No concerns so far, loving it!

        I've been playing New World, Valorant and a few other games on the highest settings and the thermals have been pretty cool for a laptop.

          A month of use for $50. Don't look back.

    • The Value on 11/11/2021 - 10:55

      $50 a month is fine. If you bought it last week, than F.

  • bruc3 on 11/11/2021 - 10:19

    This a good deal or should I hold out for something else?

    Need something portable for both work and gaming.

    • bww on 11/11/2021 - 10:23

      I have this, the charging block (300W) it comes with is pretty big and heavy, so I wouldn't say that it's portable. You can charge it with a USB C (100W) but it'll be slow-charging and you'll run out of battery power pretty quickly if you are gaming. Portability wise it's not that great but build quality, cooling and actual performance is pretty amazing. Check out Jarrod Tech's reviews on Youtube.

      • fomal on 11/11/2021 - 11:04

        wait a minute, you can charge it with usb c??? so we just plug into usb c slot and it will charge?

        • bww on 11/11/2021 - 11:06

          USB C port on the back supports power delivery, I don't think the one on the right hand side does. It's a slow charge .

      • leonhart83 on 11/11/2021 - 14:03

        I have had all sorts of troubles with charging with the 100W usb. I had went through the Lenovo forums and a support case and they said it isn't supported. Despite the manual saying so.

    • ForTheGreaterGood on 11/11/2021 - 10:48

      This is definitely not portable. Also, gaming on it without the power brick plugged in is not recommended at all.
      If you're keen on going for a laptop, then I can (half-heartedly) recommend the ASUS Tuf Dash 3070 or the Zephyrus 14 (which is more expensive). The Tuf Dash has an underpowered 3070 (which folks don't like, but it helps keep the thermals under control in a thin-ish chassis). It does have a trash screen though, which may be a deal breaker.

      Or you can do what I did, and get a reasonably powered thin and light laptop for work (which is still potent enough to play a bit of rocket league et al on the go), and a mid-range gaming desktop OR eGPU. Costs a bit more, but you get the best (or relatively better) of both worlds.

      • entropysbane on 11/11/2021 - 17:58

        Is that the one without a webcam?

        A pity those new MBPs don’t have good games. Full performance on battery would be awesome if anyone bothered writing games fir them.

        • ForTheGreaterGood on 11/11/2021 - 19:06

          Yes that's the one. Weird design choice IMO

      Depends on your use case.

      This laptop would be perfect for those who want to bring it into the office for work related things - then you can use it with a 100W usb-c charger there.

      After work, bring it home, plug in the 300W charger and game.

    I generally put it on my passenger seat, I've forgotten to buckle it and have floored it a few times resulting in the bag flying into the dash- I've been expecting an issue or the screen not to work- nothing so far.

  • shabaka on 11/11/2021 - 10:31

    people who have access to Lenovo Education, for the same price you can extend warranty to 2 years on site, and guaranteed battery replacement within those 2 years

    or leave warranty as is and have it cheaper

    p.s. hang on I think it's ryzen 5 instead of 7

      These units are already prebuilt and currently located in Chatswood ready for delivery, whereas you could possibly face a lengthy wait time if you choose to order through Lenovo themselves and even then the discount might not be as good as the one offered here. It's up to you.

      eBay has price guarantee where if you see it elsewhere for cheaper, they'll refund you a eBay voucher.

      If you want price protection, you'll need to check with your credit card provider.

  • regenade on 11/11/2021 - 11:07

    Still cheaper at Lenovo Edu store with the EDUCOMM coupon ! Even with upgrade to 2 year onsite warranty is just coming at around $2105 and there is room to shave off another $100 with a quick Live Chat. Remember the version with 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, RTX 3070 and 3 year premium care used to sell for around $2500 when it was 1st launched. This year Holiday silly season prices are way higher than EOFY prices

    • CodeXD on 11/11/2021 - 11:11

      I had a look at Lenovo Edu Store but they only have 3050Ti, not 3060

    • twjr on 11/11/2021 - 11:34

      Looking through the deal history you've got to go back to April for that price with those specs. Damn, should have got one back then. The 1070 in my 5 year old Clevo is still pretty decent but has started to be let down by the CPU.

    • dullbeard on 11/11/2021 - 11:35

      I found what I think is the same specs, for $2114 with the 1 year warranty and EDUCOMM. No upgrade offered via chat, despite mentioning can get it cheaper on eBay.

      • bluedez_man on 11/11/2021 - 11:47

  • Banville on 11/11/2021 - 11:25

    Shame it has that style of power plug! I've had my lenovo for a year and a half and unfortunately it has developed the common issue with the power plug receiver socket:
    https://tinyurl.com/uardpc9p
    I have done a complete tear down and can describe at least four problematic design flaws. It's one of those designs that seem good on paper (or CAD) but in reality will eventually fail or relies on too many tolerances being perfect. If anyones really interested I can go into alot more detail.

    Other than that fantastic laptop with good performance and thermals - when I bought my Y540 thanks to good thermals it beat same hardware competitors in benchmarks.
    I love everything else about it other than the power port issue. Backwards firing ports are great for a docked setup. Touchpad and keyboard works well. Full numpad is great for CAD/Graphic Design/Modelling/Data Entry.
    No other complaints.

    • Banville on 12/11/2021 - 15:05

      For anyones interest:
      The plug uses 6 small pins to register for voltage source, due to play in the design of the plug those pins can catch and/or be bent. If you're lucky/patient you can bend them back into position. This is also true of the two large ground pins.
      It seems the ideas is that most pins will touch so should be fine. In practice I had only had a low unknown number touching at any point which meant fiddling with the cable every now and then to re-register. Also having all the current goes through only some points meant the charger plug got extremely hot. I ended up having corrosion on the inside of the power brick.
      I resolved it to reliability by soldering on a new plug with underdamaged pins (though I occasionally rebend them) and a replacement power brick. It's been a month and seems okay :)

      I have other complaints about the design of the plug but above are the pertinent bits

    • Banville on 12/11/2021 - 15:44

      Also the issue is made slightly worse because the plug is soldered on vs JST Barrel plugs which are often used on laptops.

  • dullbeard on 11/11/2021 - 12:19

    Thanks for posting this.

    Pulled the trigger. Tried a few times to get a better price through the education store, but no dice. Sales person seemed to hint that it won't come down further on Black Friday, but I'm OK with that risk. At least there is no long wait time on this order.

    and the one listed in this deal? (Hard Drive: 512 GB SSD M.2 2280 PCIe 3.0x4 NVMe). This is the only difference I found in the specs and it's just slightly cheaper in edu store with code.

    • bluedez_man on 11/11/2021 - 15:30

      One is the customisable build which doesn't have the premium warranty. The other is the same as this and will cost $2114 with code

        I'm not sure what I'm missing but with code in edu store, the cost is $2042 (albeit with 8 weeks* waiting). I think the specs are the same?

          have a look again, it is the cheaper one has depot warranty, not premium. It is also the one you can customise because it isn't pre-built.

  • star chasm on 11/11/2021 - 17:29
    +2

    I've had this exact model for about a week (ordered from the Education store in late October) and I've got mixed feelings. It doesn't have the RAM issue earlier versions had, so it's got great gaming performance and thermals, but I'm not fond of the screen at all.

    Out of the box the colour temperature is VERY warm and needs a lot of tweaking to look reasonable. And my unit has really noticeable backlight bleed on all four corners.

    Still tossing up if it's worth trying to get cosmetic things like these fixed, but I figured I'd share my experience.

        There aren't any prebuilt 3070 models in Aus currently. You need to customize a build to add in the 3070, and as said above is currently an 8+ week wait to be built and ship from overseas.

        The 8 weeks estimate has been displayed for months, if you really need the extra gpu power and order one I wouldn't be expecting to get it anytime soon. Probably Feb delivery realistically.

  • pompompom on 11/11/2021 - 18:38

      The lid and removable lower panel are both metal. Probably more likely aluminium than steel, though. Not sure.

      The areas surrounding the keyboard and sides are plastic. But I see that as win, since metal conducts heat all too well, so this keeps your fingers cooler while gaming.

        +1

        It's not a deal breaker for most people, just something good to be aware of as a possibility. The trick is to manage one's sense of risk with warranty or other strategies (budgeting). A lot of machines have "common" issues, which only affect a small number of machines. This was for the Y540, and it's not a given that it would apply to this machine, which has different thermals and other factors.

        • Logical on 12/11/2021 - 00:56

          Yes True.

          Noting that I have 3 lenovo devices which all failed within the first few years. And I have 5 Dell laptops with oldest going back to over 10 years old and they all still run fine today.

          • 5hogun on 16/11/2021 - 00:07

            @Logical: Dell's these days run very hot though… My Alienware 15 r2 lasted 3 years with several board/battery replacements. They then replaced it with an M15. That lasted another 2 years and tended to run at 95C for the CPU and 70ish for the GPU… The battery was on its way out when I may have killed it by trying to test a faulty wifi card. Didn't even use it that often either.

        • Banville on 12/11/2021 - 15:43

          I agree, I have added more info on to my comment above.
          TLDR Soldering a new plug and getting a new charger solved 2 main issues. Might be a rare issue. I'd definitely recommend to people extended warranty on Lenovo laptops with this style of plug! :)
          I think the problem is down to the plug design so shared amongst multiple models. The issue is made slightly worse too as the plug is soldered on rather than a JST barrel jack as is popular amongst many laptops.

  • Dellenovo on 14/11/2021 - 00:48
