    This is no way a $3500 laptop. The inflated rrp tries to make this deal look good but the current price is about where it should be placed normally.

      I agree, if it had a gaming grade GPU then maybe…

      • HolyCr4p on 22/10/2024 - 07:22

      Please post a few comparable “normal” offers.

      • Some Random Guy on 22/10/2024 - 17:37

        Please do this research yourself and comment with examples rather then blindly assuming $3500 is a true rrp and that $1200 for a last gen laptop is normal.

        Yes it's a thinkpad but that doesn't justify subpar specifications.

        • Nem0 on 22/10/2024 - 21:34

          This is good enough for me!

          You are entitled to your opinion, but unless you back it up with supporting evidence, it is just that.

          When did RRP fully reflect true value? Is this news? Only to those who are living under a rock.

    • besttechadvisor on 22/10/2024 - 07:24

      Agree that $3500 is inflated, but $1200 is still a good deal and $1020 is a bargain.

      300 nits is disappointing though. An M3 Air is 500 nits…

      • maverickjohn on 22/10/2024 - 07:28

        $1020( I think slightly higher as gst is excluded on cash back) is a very good deal but the features of this laptop are very ordinary. Shouldn't be more than that $1500 mark at rrp though.

        • HPdeskjet on 22/10/2024 - 09:51

          Video you posted shows 140V ahead @ same power in nearly all instances, especially at 20-30w.

          Not sure where you are getting "wipes the floor" from?

          In Red Dead Redemption 2 at the end of the vid, the 140V hits 54fps at 29W while the 890m needs double the power at 60W to hit 53fps…

          • Some Random Guy on 22/10/2024 - 17:47

            @HPdeskjet: Quick tip that software is much more important nowadays (something which Intel is lacking in currently)

            I remember watching randomgaminginhd a couple days ago were he tested the mobile ryzen chip and FSR boosts performance a fair bit for not much loss in quality.

            Intel is crawling back but AMD as a whole is still ahead (while not selling known faulty chips and offering no recall (stares at Intel))

        Where Intel falls apart are games that are not commonly benchmarked.

    If you were to purchase a current generation T14 and replace it with your own RAM/SSD for greater storage, it'd be about $2000-2200 after the screen upgrade and etc.

    The main improvement between generations is the improved repairability with all RAM being SODIMM and user replaceable.

    Technically, this laptop would tick all the boxes for most users in that there's enough RAM (32), has windows pro and has a decent CPU inside.

    With CashRewards, at $1020, that'd be a great Business laptop for 2-3 years.

    • amaslam on 22/10/2024 - 09:26
      +3

      Agreed, if only they would get rid of their 45% NTSC screens and replace them with 95% or better NTSC screens this would sell even better. I doubt that change is > $50 if they do it in volume.

      I've been seeing 45% screens for the last 5 yrs from them on all their 'value' laptops. The specs are otherwise good for a laptop and it will be useful > 2-3 yrs (I have a 10 yr old Lenovo which can still run Win10 (even 11 if you use the unsupported method of install), but the screen looks washed out, right now it's triple booting Win7, Win10, Win11 22H2, useful when you need to run some of the older programs or drivers for hardware).

      • 4ksandknives on 22/10/2024 - 13:14

        I'd probably do an aftermarket swap of the screen. Not the most difficult thing in the world to do

        • Some Random Guy on 22/10/2024 - 17:49

          Surprisingly difficult for most consumers unfortunately

        • amaslam on 23/10/2024 - 10:24
          +1

          I've thought about that, just finding a compatible screen requires a bit of research. I think a 1920x1080 IPS would do very nicely in that laptop. I've opened it a few times and it's fairly well laid out so I think it's either 30 or 40 pin eDP.

            @amaslam: I've had to do in because I had to replace the top cover of my t480s

            I could have replaced my screen. Not hard. There's a lot of plastic and the bezel just unclips off. A few screws and replacing a ribbon, and you're gold.

  • JPNx on 22/10/2024 - 07:52

    This was never $3500 via Lenovo, Maybe $2800 at max.

    A T14s with the a AMD 7 7840U, touch, 32gb, 512gb will cost $2400~ via a business account.

      Thanks @Kazusa, I've been keeping an eye out for a good value T14s, as they have the Magnesium chassis vs the plastic chassis found on this deal.

      Great deal, even if it isn't as cheap as the OP.

    • jh084 on 22/10/2024 - 10:57

      thank you, didn't even know they had an outlet store, was camping education store for a deal on something like this for ages

    • Chazzozz on 22/10/2024 - 08:50

      Speaking as someone who manages a fleet of Lenovo laptops (including the T14 series) I can say they're not all rubbish. I liken them to Windows releases - every other generation feels like a dud. The Gen 1 & 3 were great, thus far we've had fairly good performance with the T14 Gen 4, especially with the uplift to 32Gb RAM, but it's still a bit early to tell so check back in another 2-3 months. By that (admittedly unscientific) metric the Gen 5 should be a real winner, we haven't seen any of those in the fleet yet however they should be landing just before Christmas.

      Note that these are business computers designed for office work and not intended for performance or gaming. Not exciting specs however generally stable performance when you strike a good generation.

      • cloudie9 on 22/10/2024 - 09:37

        Honestly, this deal posted is miles ahead of what my son's school had to offer, after with cashback. This would be a buy then I take it? Also, does this laptop last at least a minimum 6 hours as the school stipulated?

        We also have a fleet of thousands. Maybe our users are more vocal than yours? I don't know if it's the hardware or software at fault but usually Lenovo can fix most niggling issues with a driver update - whether it's improved code or a workaround to resolve hardware performance is only something a Lenovo engineer could answer.

    • Brrrrt on 22/10/2024 - 12:23
      +1

      Less and less nowadays. Still good machines, just not the same as before.

      Thinkpad is leaning more into the 'thin n light' ness trend that trades the toughness, comprehensive io and upgradability for, well, that perceived portability. I havent tried any T series in recent years. But just from what ive seen with, say the x1 extreme - the flagship thinkpad out there - yeah its getting worse.

  • bargainhunter98 on 22/10/2024 - 09:00

    Used Lenovo T series for 5+ years at work and really liked the stable performance.
    I am tempted to pull the trigger on this, home use and education purposes but seeing the comments I’m a bit confused now.
    Is there any other comparable laptops at this price? Or may be something decent for home use/education?
    Thanks 🙏 in advance.

        I am tempted to think that you have a soft corner for unbreakable IBM T series laptops.

        Unfortunately, the Lenovo T series doesn’t match the reliability of those legacy IBM models, and I moved away from Lenovo some time ago.

        About 5-8 years ago, I purchased a few Lenovo T series laptops and encountered multiple issues, including power button failures, malfunctioning speakers, keyboard and motherboard problems, and early battery failure.

        On the other hand, all of my premium HP laptops have significantly outlasted the Lenovo T series. Even the most affordable HP models have proven more reliable, and I now exclusively use HP or Asus, as Dell's quality can be inconsistent especially at the lower price points.

        • itsmemunna on 22/10/2024 - 10:25

          True :), I am heading towards HP ,thanks @utsc

        • StuBalls on 22/10/2024 - 10:39

          No, I've never used an IBM laptop - they were already Lenovo when I entered the industry.
          I've worked on hundreds of different laptops in the last few years, being in IT support, and in the last 5 years have purchased and used Probooks and Elitebooks and also E, P, T, and X series Thinkpads - that's the basis of my comment.

          • utsc on 22/10/2024 - 10:48

            @StuBalls: Thank you for your insights. My sample size is very small so not statistically significant.
            It could be either inconsistent quality issues or I have been repeatedly unlucky.

      Well, according to this YouTube clip, Cyberpunk is playable at about 37fps at 720p/LOW, but I don't think 1080p would be much good (Maybe one of the AI frame upscaling technologies could give you 1080p effective, though). See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45v9gNbPdF8&t=579s

  • Brrrrt on 22/10/2024 - 09:57

    Screen kills the deal on an otherwise decent machine at a great price.

    45% ntsc is unacceptable, even on a gaming laptop this is sub 1k territory, on a work oriented laptop? sorry i think my eye health is worth more than a couple hundred bucks for a better screen.

    I dont see the issue with 1335u. Intel is just fine on mobile, they have been more competitive than their desktop counterparts (compared to amd) since 11th gen. Yes igpu is not as good, yes power scaling isnt as good, doesnt make this machine unusable in the least given the usecase people have for it.

    That screen does, however.

    For anyone still looking for a similar deal, the AMD deal (without cashback) from Kazusa is still around:
    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/15830125/redir

    Personally, I prefer the AMD as it has a more solid build (T14s vs T14). I also have a company-issued Dell Latitude 7440 with an i7 1355U/32GB and I find it a bit slow, but each to their own 😊

    In addition, the T16 G2 is also available with similar spec (minus touch), but is a larger chassis (of course), but also would be eligible for cashback from what I understand.
