          I grabbed one at that time with 15% CB. ~$720 after all that.

          Current pricing still a good deal though.

  • GachaGamer on 24/10/2023 - 13:44

    It's quite funny for me to see them make a clickfrenzy deal page, but in reality its pretty much the same price as their regular sale prices for a lot of models (which is basically there actual price since god forbid anyone is buying their laptops at their inflated MSRP). So essentially its just their normal price, with 11% cashback - which is not even the lowest it's gone in recent months. Hell this deal in particular isn't even the cheapest it's been in the last 3 months.

    On another note, I didn't realise they actually released their legion 9, and as expected, the removed features from the 7 went to the 9, with the silly decision to add liquid cooling for a ridiculous premium price. Oh how the legion has fallen.

      The whole point is to create FOMO etc. And make people need to buy something.

      Or miss out.

      Still ten percent off is a sale

    • fookos on 24/10/2023 - 15:52

      Pretty sure it sat over $1000 for a while after last price dip. Their usual pricing cycle - up and down.

    Unless you were willing to sacrifice warranty and just get the standard 1 year, I found Lenovo's almost bi-monthly 'new sale' prices factoring a 3 year warranty always summed to essentially the same price as the prior sale. Such that, one month they make the base machine discounted, but the 3 year warranty rather expensive, but then the next month, they increase the price of the machine, but throw in cheap discounted onsite 3 year warranty. They do the same thing with 'upgrades' too. One month you get 16GB at price Z, next month you can get machine with 8GB at cheaper price Y, but to get to 16GB you end up paying price Z.

    For those of us getting old with blurry vision, E16 Gen 1 AMD of the same spec but 16" 1920x1200 screen is just a few dollar more expensive at $893.

    • ace310 on 24/10/2023 - 16:30

      Any idea on how long is the battery life for normal business use like word, excel and chrome etc?

      • scotty on 24/10/2023 - 16:35
        +1

        On their Tech Specs section:

        Configuration: WUXGA (non-touch), AMD Ryzen 7 7730U, 8GB DDR4, Win 11, 57Wh battery, best power efficiency power mode

        • MobileMark® 2018: up to 14.45 hours @200nits
        • JEITA 2.0: up to 20.68 hours @150nits
        • Local video playback: up to 19.13 hours @150nits

        *All battery life claims are approximate maximum and based on results using MobileMark 28, JEITA 2.0, continuous 1080p local video playback (using default Media Player in Fullscreen mode with 150nits brightness and default volume level), or Google Power Load Test (PLT) battery-life benchmark tests. Actual battery life will vary and depends on many factors such as product configuration, software, wireless functionality, power management settings, and screen brightness. The maximum capacity of the battery will decrease with time, ambient temperature and use.

        Maybe take a 40% off discount when it comes to real life usage…

        • ldd-mn on 24/10/2023 - 20:45

          The battery size listed in your comment and the OP's post are quite different, maybe they use different sizes for the same model? Edit: Ah yeah looks like there is, thanks lenovo.

    Is the cpu fast enough? Fast as i5 13th gen?

  • amaslam on 24/10/2023 - 14:08
    +1

    This is a decent (just) laptop but it has one major weakness and that is the display. To keep these low prices these washed out screens are being sold with them.

    45%NTSC means washed out colours to me. If they would offer +100 for a IPS and 100% NTSC or 100% SRGB I'd go for and call it a good laptop.

    The 47WH maybe is also a weakness but depends on your workloads and how much power the Ryzen CPU actually uses, I don't have personal experience with newer Ryzen laptop CPUs so can't say if they're that power hungry. Having mostly dealt with 7/8th gen Dell/HP laptops with 6-10 hour battery life I'd expect it to at least do 6 hours.

    Glad that there is still one SODIMM slot to allow for an upgrade past 16 GB down the line but again, start with 16 GB and use it for a while before going for that because I have yet to stress any of my PCs beyond 16 GB (mainly an Office and Web Browser, Youtube user).

    • bhm133 on 24/10/2023 - 16:15

      They do sell them with the 57WH battery but with "integrated" graphics.

      The 47WH is with Integrated AMD Radeon Graphics.

      Not sure why they do this like this.

      Notebookcheck rates the laptop at 88% but that is with the 57Wh battery and AMD Radeon RX Vega 8 and the 2240 x 1400 pixel IPS screen. https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-ThinkPad-E14-G5-AMD-rev…

      I am on the fence with this laptop still though. The 47Wh vs the 57Wh battery and graphics shenanigans puts me off a bit.

      In saying that my T470 (purchased new) is still great even though the second set of batteries are dying…

    • Bogan65inchTV on 26/10/2023 - 11:19

      Yeah I bought a Lenovo ThinkPad for basically exact same price/deal via Ozbargain link last year with same monitor specs, and the display image quality is so bad/washed out that it almost seems deliberate punishment Lenovo inflict for not buying a more expensive laptop.

  • Namidairo on 24/10/2023 - 14:21

    Display: 14.0" WUXGA (1920 x 1200), IPS, Anti-Glare, Non-Touch, 45%NTSC, 300 nits, 60Hz

    Not terrific, might still look better than some of the terrible washed out TN looking screens I've seen in JB selling at the 1k mark.

    WLAN: Wi-Fi 6E 2x2 AX & Bluetooth® 5.1 or above

    The lack of mention of channel width + Bluetooth 5.1 mention makes me suspect that this is a 80mhz capped RZ608 module. Almost a non-issue, given the times that I've seen a 160mhz wide access point in production is… never. Maybe an issue later when 6E/7 capable access points are more widespread, but even then you'd just replace the module with a WiFi 7 one fairly cheaply.

    • happychappy1 on 29/10/2023 - 04:05

      You can easily find 160 MHz channel options in top-end AX6000 products.

  • fookos on 24/10/2023 - 15:54

    These are a solid/sturdy build. Hence a little weighty.

  • Alee91 on 24/10/2023 - 16:54

    Is there a major performance difference between ryzen5 and ryzen 7 justifying price difference of around 160$

    • buffalo bill on 24/10/2023 - 17:30
      +1

      I don't have either option, but on paper looks like there'd be next to nothing in the performance difference for most users. Cache setup is the same, slightly higher turbo on the lower processor vs more cores on the higher. Real world would be barely a few % difference I'd say so have to weigh that up against the price difference.

      Worth noting the iGPU is slightly better in the 8 core for those graphic intensive use cases.

      • happychappy1 on 29/10/2023 - 04:09

        Graphics (Vega / GCN graphics on these ones) still pale in comparison to AMD 6000 series APUs or 7x35/7x36 Zen 3+ APUs which have RDNA2 graphics . Or AMD 7x4x series (Zen 4) which have RDNA3.

  • frenzal on 24/10/2023 - 17:44

  • fatbunn on 24/10/2023 - 17:47

    idk abt yall but i kinda dont believe in lenovos "sales" anymore because of how often they have them and after each sale there will be another one with a similar machine or a higher specced machine for slightly more expensive. its almost like that is meant to be the rrp rather than the rather inflated rrp they have during "non-sale" period. i may be wrong but that's how it feels like.

    Seems like Lenovo laptops are always 35% or so off. So I have a suspicion that they are just that price occasionally massively overpriced.

    Does it have USB C charging port?

  • Enjoyin on 24/10/2023 - 22:17

    • amaslam on 24/10/2023 - 22:28
      +1

      No, most laptops don't come with an Office license. However you can get them from places like scdkeys or gamer outlet. Just follow the activation instructions closely and you'll be right (i.e. gamer outlet keys use MS activation by phone but it does work).

      • Gdsamp on 24/10/2023 - 22:55

        SCDKeys legit?

        • amaslam on 24/10/2023 - 23:03

          I've only tried them for Windows 10 key once. Usually use Gamer outlet which has been fine for Office.

          That said I did see some recent 'not great' pages about SCDkey.

        • Wonderfool on 25/10/2023 - 07:44

          Yes, and no. They are oem keys that have been repurposed in the market. You can suddenly just have your licence removed in a few years, or even months.

          But, it could possibly never happen either and you just have a working windows. For 15 bucks, it's safer than piracy.

      • ldd-mn on 25/10/2023 - 10:40

        Or you could just use massgravel's script on GitHub to activate both Windows and Office without needing to rely on 3rd party keys

      • Make it so on 26/10/2023 - 00:05

        I can't find that anywhere in the spec though. I hadn't once had to return a Dell laptop because of ambiguous type-C specs…

        • sintro on 26/10/2023 - 11:19

          ok yeah probably can't daisy chain the monitors via USB-C unless you get a monitor that supports it like the U2723QE

          • Make it so on 26/10/2023 - 12:34

            @sintro: So do you know whether the monitor supports alt-mode or thunderbolt? Do you have one of these laptops, and can you plug a monitor into the type-C without some kind of DisplayLink dock?

      i5-1135G7 is a 3 year old CPU, ~40% slower than Ryzen 7530U, and a lot slower in terms of graphics. It's also FHD display verses 1920x1200. In real term if you are buying this to browse the web, watch YouTube & write reports — probably not much difference.
