      I’d guess most people looking for a sub $1000 laptop wouldn’t require more than 16GB memory

    • RedHab on 14/11/2023 - 15:30

      Low power DDR5 pretty much only comes as soldered or via special kits from Samsung or Dell.

      DDR5 has a pretty complicated electrical interface. Low power has lower voltage and less headroom for transmission losses.

    • bindok on 14/11/2023 - 16:10

      This was perfect if it was 32gb (even as an upgrade), I use Lightroom / PS and 16gb is on the lower side if you have large files.

    • foxpants on 14/11/2023 - 16:19

      Unfortunately it seems non soldered tops out at 5600 though, so for better iGPU performance this is the go.

    • braddsey on 14/11/2023 - 16:04

      Lenovo are very generous with themselves on their RRP. :)
      I'm typing on a Thinkpad P14s I bought earlier this year. RRP (from order summary) $3952.94. I paid $1299 with a coupon code listed here.
      (and the bargain-brag - I got about $155 cashrewards, and $230 in lenovo rewards).

      I don't know what laptops are worth generally, but I think your starting point for a reasonable cost of anything from Lenovo is to drop at least 50% from their RRP.

    Thanks OP, ordered
    hopefully get 3.3% cashrewards allocated too as its a normal promo code

    This will replace my old 8th gen Dell that i use for photo editing/submission on the sidelines of sporting events
    The dim screen and lack of grunt for anything AI photo related was a pain last season.

    • tryonthis on 14/11/2023 - 15:32

      How does the 300 nits screen compare to your old Dell laptop?

      I'm tempted to pick this up for a little bit of photo editing whilst at work (bit down downtime) but I'm worried 300 nits isn't bright enough.

      • Lonewolf1983 on 14/11/2023 - 15:39

        will see when it arrives, the old dell was supposed to be 300 but i read reports of it tested at ~277.
        Its quite low contrast too so i expect it will be an improvement anyway.

        I use my laptop in a hooded enclosure when outside anyway

  • Ayanami on 14/11/2023 - 15:23

          Which one?

          • linkindan on 15/11/2023 - 07:04

            @CyberMurning: This one

            • braddsey on 16/11/2023 - 00:12

              @linkindan: 2.6kg. that's a hefty beast! I guess that's your compromise. ;)
              still not as heavy as my first laptop that I lugged to university everyday 30 years ago, which came in at about 3kg.

              Each has their own use-case. I use a 14" laptop with 11" ipad air as second screen, 5 days a week, 8-12 hours a day. perfectly happy with my setup!

              • linkindan on 16/11/2023 - 09:42

                @braddsey: My last laptop, which I only upgraded cause of USB issues, was just over 3kg - thicker, made of plastic, and every spec was less than my new one (except weight aha)

                I’m mostly using this as a desktop, but I need a laptop for work, holiday and hotspot reasons, so the weight isn’t disastrous for me

                How do you find the iPad Air? I’m on an 8th Gen and planning an upgrade, but other than “absolutely not a Mini or Pro” I can’t make a decision

                • braddsey on 17/11/2023 - 01:40

                  @linkindan: iPad Air - honestly, I totally underutilise it. I use it mostly a second monitor, with occasional use for media consumption, and a fallback option for getting into my company O365 tools. I don't use the apple pencil or anything like that, and don't use split screen etc (though picture in picture is great, a shame kayo doesn't work with picture in picture!).

                  iPad Air 5 / iPad 10th Gen are so close to the same it doesn't matter - i just found a good deal for iPad Air at the time and the price difference down to the iPad 10th Gen was so small it made nearly no difference to get the iPad Air instead.

  • PatD on 14/11/2023 - 16:17

          Kruthik repeatedly said best he could do was $1129 but that he would add a mouse for $1. Then when I said I wasn't buying he said he'd check with his manager and email me if they can do cheaper. Not expecting anything good but I guess we will see.

      I personally never trust SB cashback apart from their gift card sale.

      • crikey on 15/11/2023 - 10:16

        You should trust my maths even less! I stuffed up the discount. Unpublished my original comment. Corrected:

        Despite the price increase to $1129, the deal can be matched today via Shopback cashback and better if you use Westpac. Although for many cashback isn't as good as a proper upfront discount. Makes for a better tax deduction though!

        Price after 20% cashback: $923
        Price with bonus Westpac 15%: $773

        • rartelif on 15/11/2023 - 10:54

          Gambling if cashback is rejected you would pay $1129, previously SB rejected too many cb like amaysim or Menulog

          • bobokingdom on 15/11/2023 - 15:03

            @rartelif: If you use Westpac and follow the correct steps to purchase, the chance of getting the rebate is very high.
