        Exactly

        I figured by today, more people will chime in about how good a deal it is.

        Always have the option of cancelling, I did forget about the 3% cashback.

        My delivery date is 20th, now everyone is saying January.

        Boxing day may have good sales, but online it's $1,500+ with only 8gb ram.

    • Froot Loops on 11/12/2021 - 13:18

      I have the flex 5 with a "crappy" 250-nit display. I find it does the job fine for productivity. It's completely fine even running not at full brightness indoors, but outside is almost unusable (I have a visual impairment which has aspects of serious astigmatism, so reduced vision to your standard decent vision). For the price and specs, it's an amazing deal.

  • Muscles on 11/12/2021 - 07:05

    My old e470 seems slow. i5 7th gen and 5yrs old.
    Upgraded to SSD sometime ago.

    Will I see a significant improvement, surfing, downloading, start up etc and very light gaming - think Civ 5.

    Recently purchased Age of Empires 1-3, I assume this laptop could handle?

      I posted this video further up regarding the performance of this laptop's iGPU with a 5600H. Basic day to day tasks may feel dissimilar but if you are multitasking you will certainly notice the difference. The CPU in this laptop deal would blow away your i5 7th gen easily.

      Yes this is significantly more powerful then your 7th gen dual core chip. Its essentially more then double the power and the screen will be much better as well. If your E470 feels slow then you will definitely feel the benefits because this 6 Core chip with 16GB RAM shouldnt feel slow.

      I've used 6 core 16GB RAM laptops for work and have had many browser tabs open, various networking apps open and chat/video calling at same time with no issues.

      As for gaming then it will definitely outperform your E470 but its definitely not a gaming laptop. Would be good for light gaming

        I've got an even older Lenovo E450 which I upgraded to 16GB RAM and SSD and I work with Chrome and 15 tabs, Adobe reader, zoom, Word, and VPN to work all going at the same time and it has no issues at all. It does have a i7 6500U. I find that it's rarely the CPU which is the bottleneck in these laptops, more likely the RAM and hard drive, hence the significant speed boost from my upgrading it from 8GB to 16GB and adding the SSD.

    • Jayblesz on 11/12/2021 - 07:44

      Prrtty difficult since the ram is soldered.

    • Froot Loops on 11/12/2021 - 13:32
      +2

      SSD should fit a standard 2280 (based on other current gen Lenovo's). I cannot access the model number as I am getting a 406 error again on the officework web link, but Lenovo seem to put a half size I believe it's called an M.2 2242 SSD in with an adapter (to make it 2280 size), so simply unscrew the bottom on the case, take out their SSD and your M.2 2280 should slot in no drama. Word of advice, use a very high-grade set of screw drivers. The screw that holds the SSD is weak as crap. We have stripped 2 out of the 8 we upgraded and returned them to amazon (lazy). The screws on the case are fine.

      From Lenovo's website, (I believe this is the same model), it states up to Up to 1TB SSD M.2 2280 PCIe 3.0x4 NVMe under tech specs.

      Don't even think about unsoldering the ram, unless you know what you are doing and are sure the parts will fit. 16GB is pretty decent and I won't take the risk of ending up with a failed until with a voided warranty over this.

    Not sure if this is worth getting for uni this year due to the size. Should I just cop an M1 air with the education discounts?

    • [Deactivated] on 11/12/2021 - 07:48
      +3

      What's the price difference?

      I see $1,849 for a M1 Air with 512GB storage and 8GB Ram, I would say this deal looks alot better.

    • Pmtablah on 11/12/2021 - 08:10

      I was in the same boat but went with the M1 air base model (8gb, 256gb) instead.
      Pro: It blows most similarly priced laptops out of the water on performance.
      Con: If you are an engineering student, you will struggle to run several software that aren't made for Mac. If this isn't a problem, I'd recommend spending the extra $300 and getting the M1 air.

      PS 1.9 kg on the Lenovo doesn't sound like much, but wait till you have to walk from one end of the campus to the other carrying this in your backpack, with may be a few books, repeat for several years, and it becomes a pain in the ass very soon.

    this is one of the few laptops Lenovo got right. I disassembled one, just out of curiosity, good design.

    the price is awesome, solid panel included, solid performance, good components

    if not gaming, what else could you want. beats Dell Latitudes in the same price bracket, and I usually recommend those. but not this year

          You're not wrong, but no-bullshit reviews from a solid technical perspective would still get a cult following even with a 100% lazy, ghetto recording setup and minimal editing. You only need to pander to a broader audience if you actually want a broader audience.

        60hz version in this model is very good. Lenovo finally caught up and I hope to see more of this trend (fantastic panels at around 1k)

        120hz is slightly better, but most people won't need it or notice the difference for productivity.

        I would certainly buy one for myself if I didn't get into gaming this much during lockdown. so I got a Razer Blade instead

            @Juzman: I got last gen Blade 17 Pro. 2080 super max-q, 10875H

            17 has got better thermals than the 15. never tried 14 or 13 not my kind of form factor

            I game plugged in only, and it's quieter than Acer nitro 5 with 3060 I had prior. also quieter than metabox with 1660ti I had before. stays cooler than both.

            non-gaming unplugged is virtually silent and cool. plugged in is in general silent but spins up quietly when pushed a bit.

          • shabaka on 12/12/2021 - 08:17
            +1

            @Juzman: between 15 and 17 I would strongly recommend getting 17 if you don't mind 2.7k weight

            thermals are stellar with 4 fans and vapour chamber, and since it's more of a niche product it's somewhat easier to find a good deal especially on last gen

            2 extra intake fans in the battery area solve the battery overheating issue, and in general improve cooling a lot, since they increase air flow and ensure that air moves from front to back within the chassis, cooling the keyboard, battery, ssd's etc.

            15 advanced also have vapour chamber cooling, but 2 fans, and I have seen quite a few issues with battery expanding over time which isn't good

            oh and yes it has 2 nvme slots for easy storage expansion which is important to me - however I don't know if other 15s might have that, too. the 15s I have seen so far had just one nvme

            @Juzman: I stand corrected by the way, all 2021 base and advanced Blade 15 have an extra NVME slot for easy storage expansion

            still 17 have better thermals than 15 I stand by that.

    Isn't this similar price to the Lenovo edu store with EDUCOMM discount code? I suppose it's easier purchasing through Officeworks.

      How much is it exactly from edu store for same spec? 16GB

        It's $1137 after applying the code. I believe you can get cashback as well judging by past comments. Also, might be able to get lower by asking for bargain through live chat (again, judging by previous comments).

        I actually haven't purchased anything through Lenovo before so just going by what I've read.

        This deal is tempting but don't think you need to FOMO if you're not 100% sure, as it seems you can get similar price through Lenovon edu. They always seem to have some sort of sale on.

          Normal store it's $1500-1600 excluding the ram upgrade.

          It's $1137 with 16gb?

          There's absolutely no cashback, it's clear in the t&c. I think people will be disappointed when it gets rejected at the end.

          Also buying from edu you can upgrade the screen and CPU to 5800U for extra $200

            @congo: So now you're paying $337 more, basically 33% more

            It's not just an extra $200, it's 20% of the total value of the laptop.

              @[Deactivated]: The 120Hz screen isn't needed for this non gaming laptop.
              But the CPU upgrade would be worth the extra $237? Its a borderline call!
