This laptop configuration is with 32 GB LPDDR5X-7467MHz (Soldered) upgrade from the base version, which costs $99 (included in the title price).

This is the same as this popular deal from May (part number 83D2CTO1WWAU1). However it is a bit cheaper and better cashback. Final price is about $100 better.

I don't have this laptop but I've been desiring it: the past post said the battery life is great, good display.

Can combine with 20% cashback to get $250 off. Would be $1088 after cashback.

You can also get one that is $30 more but with an OLED screen, this is IPS. Some comparison here.

    Whenvere I see these laptop deals, I have to wonder why our work buys rubbish laptops at inflated prices.

      If its government, they usually include 4 years warranty onsite, simcard slots etc

      • RedHab on 30/08/2024 - 14:44

        if it's NSW government they also need to add kickbacks to the purchasing officers

      Exactly 💯
      We get laptops that are U series i7 ones and they are called 'Performance' category in our workplace.

      I'm like bruh!

        Worst of all, these rubbish laptops have terribly dim screens.

      exactly the same in my company, paying almost $3k for all our Dell Latitude 14" laptops, super ripoff !!! Which less than 1/2 the price can have these way better screen Lenovos …

      The managers who make these decisions are friends with the sales person who are getting a commission.

    It looks like the $30 more setup has OLED, whilst the linked deal has IPS

    • drillvoice on 30/08/2024 - 14:19

      I think you are right, there was some discussion on the previous post about the pros/cons of these options. (see here: IPS has no burn-in risk and is better for battery life, OLED is a better actual display.)

      • ram4ram on 30/08/2024 - 15:55

        How an ips has better battery life than an OLED…

    • jlogic on 30/08/2024 - 14:59

      You lose 16GB RAM when you select the OLED.

      • seanyong on 30/08/2024 - 17:15

        That's a pity. Don't know why they are not offering RAM upgrades for the OLED model.

        • jlogic on 30/08/2024 - 18:53

          Most likely it's prebuilt inventory they are getting rid of and/or market segmentation.

          Asus does this malarkey a lot with their laptops. For example the Zenbook 14, the Ultra 7 model here only tops out at 16GB overseas 32GB. To get 32GB here you need to upgrade to the Ultra 9 version. So we get shafted even more to pay more for extra RAM.

  • Rockhard on 30/08/2024 - 14:25

    Very good price if you get the cashback.

    • countmein on 30/08/2024 - 14:43

      Last time i got the cashback capped at $250

    • asingha on 30/08/2024 - 18:22

      Has anyone confirmed you receive cashback with Lenovo? One of Shopback's terms with Lenovo is "Purchases using any type of discount which lowers price advertised on the merchant site including but not limited to student education codes, employee discounts and price-matching."

      Lenovo requires you to use a promo code to get the discounted price - would that make it so we don't receive cashback? But at the same time, the lower price is advertised on their site making it so you should receive the cashback.

      Would really want to know the answer to this ASAP, cashback deal ends at 8pm AEST

      • Jaff on 30/08/2024 - 19:03

        This code will get cash back and has been confirmed by the rep

  • BluebirdV on 30/08/2024 - 15:02

    Do you have to put the promo code to get it to show 32 GB RAM? It's showing 16 GB.

    • drillvoice on 30/08/2024 - 15:09
      +1

      The 16GB is a manual add-on. The base model, just 16GB, is $1239, or about $930 with cashback. You can add the 16GB if you want more memory.

    Got a little excited for a second, thought this had a half decent little gfx card for games.

  • alterego13 on 30/08/2024 - 15:19

    This one or Ideapad Slim 5 AMD (Ryzen 7)?

    Edit: Use case
    It's going to be a work laptop for the Mrs. (self employed)

    No gaming at all.
    About a 1 million Chrome Tabs need to be open at a time ( :P )

    Work Use - AutoCAD/ArchiCAD/Revit/Sketcup - Mostly Drafting and modelling not rendering
    Twinmotion - Basic Rendering (not path tracing)
    And of course the mandatory office apps i.e. Outlook/Word/Excel

    Currently using an ancient E485 (R5 2500U with Vega 8) which just about gets by for all the above tasks (except Twinmotion) but is slowing down the workflow gradually.
    Laptop is attached to a secondary screen but laptop itself is also used (I know…. I've offered to dock the laptop and setup two screens with external KB/Mouse but Mrs. doesn't want to)

    I like the R7 processor with 780M Graphics, but 16 GB RAM has me scratching my head!

    • BennyHe2018 on 30/08/2024 - 16:01

      You'd better get a laptop with 32G RAM or 2 SODIMM.

      Thinkbook 14/16 gen 7 has SODIMM slot for RAM upgrade:

      https://www.lenovo.com/au/en/search?fq={!ex=1649}lengs_Processor_AU_facet_1649:All%20AMD%20Processors&text=thinkbook%2014&rows=20&sort=relevance&display_tab=Products

      Stacking with 20% off cashreward and it is a decent price.

      You can cross compare the edu price to choice a better deal if you have an edu email.

      • alterego13 on 30/08/2024 - 16:43

        Thanks, " We’re sorry
        The ThinkBook 14 Gen 7 (AMD) you’ve selected is no longer available. " from Lenovo website! :(

        • sgtubaby on 30/08/2024 - 16:47

          I have found my thinkbook work laptop extremely hot. I only do 10+ Chrome tabs and 1 R studio session.

    Very tempted but no ARM

    Can get a surface pro with arm for around this price, and ARM is the future.

    looking forward to replace my MacBook to a windows with arm

    • BigDammy on 30/08/2024 - 16:23

      Maybe for Mac. I don't think we will be seeing major ARM adoption for windows for a very long time. windows 10 still has like an 80% market share.

      • ram4ram on 30/08/2024 - 16:40

        Mac is amazing BECAUSE it's on arm, that was the game changer.

    • brotherfranciz on 30/08/2024 - 19:20

      You expect the laptop to have arms?!

      • ram4ram on 30/08/2024 - 19:56

        Yes if it doesn't have legs

  • DeToxin on 30/08/2024 - 16:08

    Anyone had hands on time with this particular model?
    Interested to hear some impressions on build quality (screen hinge, trackpad & keyboard)

    • elvines on 30/08/2024 - 17:18

      All good apart from very annoying keyboard, I hate typing on it.

  • StarPlatinum on 30/08/2024 - 16:20

    Can I expand storage in this

    • captainmac on 30/08/2024 - 17:08

      As far as I can see it only has one NVME slot. Some selected 16" models have two NVME slots.

  • aorusozbarg on 30/08/2024 - 16:32

    this or 8gb m3

    • ram4ram on 30/08/2024 - 16:46

      Makes me wonder if windows on arm will be sufficient with 8gb, like how people say 8gb is enough for Max.

  • alterego13 on 30/08/2024 - 17:50

    Intel Core Ultra 5-125H vs Ryzen 7 8845HS?

  • maverickjohn on 30/08/2024 - 18:06

    Why wouldn't you upgrade the SSD for $69
    Unless the SSD is upgradeable and not soldered

    • Phoebus on 30/08/2024 - 18:17

      doesn't it say it's a 2240 SSD?

      • maverickjohn on 30/08/2024 - 18:20

        2242 but it doesn't mention soldered. Anyway I think for an extra $69 the 512gb totalling 1tb seems worth it. But I guess if you can source your own it may be better to use stock and buy your own ssd

  • SimmoAus05 on 30/08/2024 - 19:34

    Comparing build quality, would this laptop or a ThinkPad E Series last better long term?

    I generally use my laptops but obviously try to avoid abusing them. Have read some Lenovos are susceptible to dodgy hinges etc

  • quanticism on 30/08/2024 - 20:09

    Nice, shame I saw this 10 minutes after the cashback offer ended :)

  • hishaken on 30/08/2024 - 20:28

    any gefore 4060 laptop?
