Hi, not sure if this is a price error or not but this is around $500 cheaper than Lenovo website.
Lenovo $2345 - https://www.lenovo.com/au/en/p/laptops/thinkpad/thinkpadt/thinkpad-t16-(16-inch-amd)/21ch001rau

Sorry should have said was looking for a business laptop for the missus. I read that IdeaPad is consumer grade?
Yes.
Warranty might be different as well.
Agreed, 83ASCTO1WWAU2 is the best deal on there spec/cost wise. Coming in at $1219 for 16gb/500gb, rep can lower to about $1190 when I chatted to them last week. Education store is priced a smidge lower at $1160. Best to go normal store front with a large cashback offer of 15%…would bring it down to $1036. Was very close to pulling the trigger last week….but holding off for bit longer now.
16GB would be fine for me if it had a dedicated GPU but personally with an iGPU I find 16GB a bit light since the iGPU reserves a bit of it. You might already be aware of that but just a heads up in case!
Hi, tbh I never considered that. I thought 16gb would of been plenty on a non gaming laptop.
It's been $400 cheaper so not a price error.
ooh, haha didn't know that it was that low.
ok Karen, disappointed you couldn't grab something for cheap and profit off the back of someone else?
This is ozbargain after all. If you prefer to pay RRP wtf are you even doing here? What an absolutely moronic comment.
What so special about this laptop…? Asking?
The Lenovo T-series is their flagship line of business laptops and they can come with 3 years of onsite warranty (extendable to 5 years). Regular consumer laptops (like Lenovo Ideapads) aren't built as tough and usually have 1 year depot wrty.
The price is nothing special. You can get it for cheaper by purchasing off Lenovo directly and there's often up to 10~14 percent cashbacks running from time to time
Pedantic minor correction- Thinkpad is their business line. Usually with a 3 year onsite warranty, versus the 1 year back to base warranties that most laptops come with. Good levels of support- I've got to Lenovo service centres to pick up the build CDs for ten year old machines at no cost, when they were recycled into an NGO.
Thinkpad T-series is the 'bog standard, reasonably lightweight" sub-brand
X is smaller and lighter
P is beefier + graphics cards + more ports
Carbon X1 is basically T-series but slimmer
E series- not sure what these are, some kind of budget variant with a less rugged chassis.
This was $1400 earlier this year at Lenovo.
Currently $1736.10 through the Lenovo student portal if you know someone with an .edu email?
Also, I learnt last time it is worth adding something to your cart with Lenovo and then hit up the chat asking for a better deal. They'll ask for your cart ID and potentially come back with a quoted price. I think I managed around an extra $200 off an already discounted custom system price.
If not specifically interested in Thinkpad build quality you can get better specs from Lenovo here (32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, better screen): https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/796194
I personally did buy a Thinkpad though.
