    I’d recommend the $20 upgrade to a 512gb ssd as well.

    • Or swap it with other 2280 SSDs:

    • Would not recommend using QLC as the single system drive in configs like these

      Get the 256GB version, buy a 1TB SSD and put it in the laptop. If there's a warranty case, put the original 256GB back in and keep your data in your own hands.

  • @op do u know when Lenovo will actually put a Zen 4 chip in their (non-gaming) laptops?

    • +6

      When Zen 3 stock is cleared out

      Lenovo know, AMD know and you know that once the Phoenix APU is added to the sub $1K laptop range, it will kill the market for any laptop with sub RTX 3050 graphics

      So they are slow walking the move - offer it in the high priced Legions, then the "Legion" LOQ, then the Yogas/Thinkpads and then finally the cheap IdeaPads

        Zen 3 stock isn’t going to run out anytime soon, considering they’re still making it and (re)branding them as Ryzen 7x3x series.

  • Does anyone know if this would be good for Photoshop and light Adobe Premiere work?

    • +2

      If you require colour accuracy and are editing on the laptop, get something with a minimum 72% NTSC / 100% sRGB screen

      If you are using an external monitor, this will be fine for light Photoshop and Premiere work

    the cheap upgrades to 16gb ram and 512gb ssd makes it a great deal!

  • +1

    Probably worth adding the backlit keyboard, 1080p webcam and fingerprint reader (around $20-$30 each) - a bit stingy for Lenovo to charge for these upgrades, but at least they're cheap.

    • By the time u add all these upgrades it becomes a no deal cause the price balloons out.

  • any good shopback or cashrewards deals coming up with IdealPads?

  • Everything looks good for the price, and then you see no USB C charging, WHY????

    • +1

      I have a lenovo flex that comes with a barrel type power adapter but it charges via the usb-c port perfectly fine as well. Not sure if thats the same with this one though.

    After upgrading to 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, 1080p webcam, and backlit keyboard = $862.

    With all those upgrades to this Ideapad, perhaps worth considering the ThinkPad E14 deal at $845 with similar nits/RAM/SSD/webcam, 16:10 screen, ThinkPad-style keyboard, and USB-C charging? - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/790354

    • All we need now is Lenovo to provide upgrades for colored keyboards, laptop frame colors and materials, alternative port options, etc :/ - if they can think it up we will get it. I'm waiting for 11 variants of Grey; ballistic, gunmetal, dull, plastic, matt, silver, metallic, platinum, steel, carbon, stealth.. :o

    • If you're happy to spend the $845, is there any reason still to go the cheaper IdeaPad in this post instead? Considering one or the other for a high school student. Backlit keyboard worth it. Could probably skip the fingerprint reader and higher res cam.

      16:10 screen on that thinkpad too. Much better deal than this, IMO.

      • +1

        Thx mate. Ended up grabbing one w/13.2% cashback. Brings to ~$730, which is very palatable for the specs/features.

          Very hard deal to beat. Enjoy!
