      That's a bit of an apples to oranges comparison

      400nit OLED panel vs 250nit LCD…

        If you look at most YouTube videos these two laptops feature in comparisons.

        I'm aware of the quality difference but in terms of use case (compact gaming laptop) these laptops fit the same need.

        apples to oranges that’s an understatement, in this situation I would venture to say apples to orangutans, that’s how wide the chasm of differentials is, you simply can’t do comparisons like this its a sacrilege.

    Altough this is good price for the laptop. Don't worry too much about getting it right now. This laptop comes on sale quite often and the cashback on Lenovo with Cashrewards goes up to 12% sometimes.

    Ordered earlier this week and paid $2200 (incl 1TB SSD) and got $270 back on cashrewards.

        • Agret on 19/03/2024 - 03:16

          Seems to tick all the boxes for me except we can't customize the RAM on this, being soldered you have to upgrade during purchase and on my current workstation laptop i'm running 64GB so going backwards to 32GB is going to be a big performance hit. I am frequently using 40-50GB or more during my workday. I wish there was some push in the industry to move away from this soldered crap, can't believe a high end laptop like this would not be socketed RAM.

    This is actually bit better than the last deal which was $1900 for 16gb ram and extra $70 for 32 which was sold out with 14% cashback, so with 13% shopback now it's not too bad ($1715). If you want an affordable OLED gaming laptop this is a cracker deal. It's a shame the 4060 and 4070 are voltage limited and a massive step down from 4080 but unfortunately the price increase between them is still steeper than the performance gain.

    • wes0110 on 16/03/2024 - 21:00
      +2

      The 13% shop back is only for the NZ store, and that doesn't have the discount like the AU store unfortunately.

    • JownehFixIT on 19/03/2024 - 10:16

      Looks like TopCashback has 13% cashback at Lenovo also for the next 14 hours. What are people's preferences between cashrewards and TopCashback? I barely use either. My experience with Cashrewards and specifically buying a Lenovo laptop around 10 years ago was very bad, and they never honoured the cashback.

      • Dolapsap on 19/03/2024 - 18:54
        +1

        Haven’t used TopCashback a lot yet. Cashrewards have mostly been honoring Cashback. You need to make sure you remove Lenovo Rewards when paying as that is not compatible with Cashrewards… it was not easy to remove as I was not able to use PayPal without the Lenovo Rewards.
        Anyway just ordered this laptop this morning with CB and added 3 year onsite warranty for about $85 extra. Cashrewards tracked pretty much straight away.

  • Gotthewrongnumber on 16/03/2024 - 23:17

    Bought this during Black Friday with the 64gb and 1TB upgrades and it kicks ass, Love it! The OLED is wonderful and plays games super smooth, would reccommend.

      How much did you get it for during black friday?

  • TheFunkySalsa on 17/03/2024 - 00:08

    Is this deal worth the extra $400-$500 odd dollars over this Dell G15 deal?

    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/834041

    Obvious differences being the screen, extra RAM and portability, but probably the same in terms of performance?

    • Bisky1 on 17/03/2024 - 00:54
      +4

      Build quality is a huge difference atop of the aforementioned 3 component differences.

      There will be numerous small differences as well: Webcam quality, microphones (1 vs 2) [for webcam], built in speakers, battery life [Dell has a bigger battery but will run less efficiently], cooling solutions, chassis quality/engineering/design/materials used i.e. Aluminium vs Plastic [This does circle back to build quality but its important to understand it affects every part, potentially -> Longevity]. Not sure, but Lenovo probably can charge via PD, whereas the Dell needs 10lbs even if you're going away for a weekend.

      If you can afford the differences go for it, I haven't gone over it with a fine tooth comb, but I needed a laptop desperately and was deciding between Dell, Lenovo [3 weeks to ship], and eventually found a 3rd solution that was similar to the Lenovo but immediately available [Zephyrus G16 by Asus] for just under 2k, that I was able to pick up same day.

      Finally - believe the Dell is no longer on sale?

      • TheFunkySalsa on 17/03/2024 - 01:26

        Thanks for the detailed reply! Budget can stretch, just wasn't totally certain that it was worth the extra but from what you're saying it most likely is. Didn't see that the Dell sale had stopped, pretty much makes this one almost a no brainer then. I think this is one of the lower prices they've had on the website, I actually prefer a straight discount over the possibly higher cashback percentages as in my experience they're likely to not track and cause issues.

        • Bisky1 on 17/03/2024 - 03:30
          +1

          Absolutely mate, appreciate the appreciation.

          Enjoy your laptop if you go through with it.

          Assuming it's not a lemon [esp. post warranty] / or you accidentally break it, I'm sure you won't regret it.

          It's disconcerting to me how much more premium something can feel, and how that can make one/me feel.

    I bought a Lenovo X1 Carbon Extreme Gen1 sic years ago. 1GB SSD 16GB RAM 6 Core i7, GTX1050ti. The typing experience has been awesome but the comp has always run slow. If it was over heating it was freezing for no reason. You wait a bit and it’s all good again. Most laptops I buy with windows are like this. Even my Macbook Pro was the same. It’s difficult to justify any laptop purchases based on my negative experience with them

      Compared to all other 14inch gaming laptops it does really well. It can hit over 8 hours but you have to have it in eco mode and have it running on integrated graphics only which requires a reboot. My idea is to have it always using integrated graphics and switch to the dGPU when I'm gaming.

        Does it actually give u the 13% cash back with this deal. Just wanting to confirm.

        • Dolapsap on 20/03/2024 - 09:28

          Cashrewards tracked at 13% of the total I paid (incl GST). I paid a bit extra for 3yrs onsite support = $2031.06. Cashrewards tracked at $264.04.
          Make sure you remove the Lenovo Rewards before paying.

              @Ramsses2100: I believe it is not possible to qualify for cashback if you use partial payment via Lenovo Rewards… check out the T&Cs of the Cashrewards or Shopback offer.

        • Dolapsap on 05/04/2024 - 19:04

          Arrived straight after Easter holidays. It is a nice machine to work with to replace my dying Dell XPS 13” from 2019. I’m running triple external monitors and it does get a little fan noise when under load with the dGPU but otherwise dead quiet with basic web/office stuff. A bit heavier for a portable device but not impossible to carry around.
          32Gb RAM is the bare minimum to consider and has a spare NVME Gen 4 SSD Slot to expand storage. Good value for what I need.

I purchased on the 27th and use the shopback app on my phone to make my purchase and still hasnt tracked, just a bit nervous that i have to go about reporting the tracking as misisng and them declining it for some reason.
