    If I’m using it as a work PC do I just need to buy a Windows 11 Pro license or is this laptop not suitable for that?

    • pumpkinspice on 24/10/2024 - 19:29

      What do you do for work?
      What applications do you typically use to do your job?

      • Broos on 24/10/2024 - 19:32

        I freelance / contract. I need to log in via a work account at the sign in page, which I don’t believe is supported in Windows 11 Home.

        I use the MS Office suite, incl. Teams, SharePoint, Visio.

          The specs of this PC will run those apps without breaking a sweat.

          Check with your work if they have policies around the supply of PCs, some employers only let you use devices that are on their supported list, and in that case they generally require you to purchase through their IT department.

          If your employer is fine with BYOD, check if they want to install Windows Enterprise and manage your settings.
          If they do, then you may not want to spend extra on Windows Pro.
          If they don't, then I'd recommend getting Windows Pro, as it's not much more and it allows greater control.

          I'd also recommend getting the 3 year onsite support, it's only $82.06 extra.

        • p3rsonally on 24/10/2024 - 22:33

          You can upgrade it to pro online for $100 typically.

        • Agret on 22/11/2024 - 00:44

          Windows 10/11 Pro basically the only difference is you can use Hyper-V to run Virtual Machines, use Windows Sandbox and you can join it to a domain.

      How much of a difference can there be.. 2L Coke vs 1.25L Lemon Squash - weight really that significant?

      • BoltThrower on 25/10/2024 - 00:31

        Matters if you're only taking carry-on while travelling and have a 7kg limit. If not for that I wouldn't care if it's 3kg.

        +7

        My old XPS 15 is also 2KG and I don't travel with it anymore, compared to my work latitude 7series at 1.3KG it's a very noticeable difference especially if you have to travel with 2 laptops. I thought non gaming laptops were all less than 1.5KG these days

        • OzHan on 24/10/2024 - 19:37
          +2

          My 15” MacBook Air, well-known for its thinness and lightweight design, weighs 1.5 kg. Any lighter than this, and you’d likely end up with more plastics and smaller battery.

          • reactor-au on 24/10/2024 - 19:47

            @OzHan: At work they have started issuing newer latitude 7450 at a touch under 1.1KG, now I wish all laptops were ultralight. Amazing that the 7650 looks so similar yet weighs in at about 1.8KG, how does the weight difference make sense

        • CyberMurning on 24/10/2024 - 21:20

          My old XPS 15 is also 2KG = 15"??
          latitude 7series at 1.3KG = 13" maybe?

          • reactor-au on 24/10/2024 - 21:40
            +3

            @CyberMurning: 7400 = 14" 1.3kg
            XPS 9570 = 15" 2kg
            7450 = 14" 1.05kg
            7650 = 16" 1.9kg

            It's amazing that the difference between 7450 and 7650 is almost 1kg!

  • iDarelones on 24/10/2024 - 18:54

    No OLED could be dealbreaker for some.

    • eecan on 24/10/2024 - 19:35
      +7

      Could be a pro for others, better battery life and potentially more colour accurate (recent Lenovo OLEDs found in the last few gen of the Yogas and Thinkpads are often a bit warm even after being calibrated).

      • in this economy on 02/11/2024 - 23:14

          This is a much nicer laptop than the t14s. Aluminium body, far far better display among other things.

      Cheapest thinkpad with a ryzen 7 CPU with this CPU architecture is more than $1700 at the moment.
      Cheapest thinkpad with comparable display quality is $1450 with previous a previous generation processor (and it's an E series, so not great).
      This ideapad is really nice with a metal build, good keyboard, big glass touchpad, great screen and a great processor for a very good price. I've had the previous gen for a year and am super happy with it

    Good specs for 1300$ - laptops finally headed towards right direction and price point.

      depends where it is to be used.
      I usually have the brightness turned almost all the way down. (having everything bright always has me thinking of the parent saying to child: "that music is too quiet, turn it up or you will damage your ears", or "it is too dark in here, go outside and look directly at the sun for 10 minutes")

    i have the 7735hs version of this for the past year (similar deal to this) and cant fault it
    PC has been great.

    One thing to be aware of is the 100w required to run it at full speed - will go off a smaller power brick but at lower speed/slower charge.
    Caught me out originally with lower powered dock.

    So AMD claimed the Ryzen AI chips will be their biggest ever laptop launch. Lenovo has 2 models - a $3.5k Thinkpad and a $3k Yoga Pro. Dell has 0. And they wonder why they only have 20% market share.

      Other companies have first access licence, aka asus and Lenovo and soon to be msi from November.

      • TurnipHead on 25/10/2024 - 23:29

        Ah didn't know that. Doesn't look like Asus is doing much with the exclusive first access though given we have 5 models here only 2 of which are priced under $3.4k. Fingers crossed we see some new Lenovo's then…

    • srhardy on 26/10/2024 - 09:32

      They sell an awesome deal AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics 16" for around $1000 and $1300 with often OLED 32gb 1tb and its Ai (38 tops, the new cpus are a tad faster at around 50tops but its irrelevent as most is serverside anyway)

  • Porco Rosso on 24/10/2024 - 23:20

    They have a 10% sign-up bonus on first purchase. Would the 10% off work with this deal or would that only be on full priced items?
    Also, the AMEX cashback, unsure if that will stack?
    Thanks!

    • Porco Rosso on 25/10/2024 - 08:07
      +6

      I can confirm that the 10% subscription code does not stack. Trying to use it removes the original $900 off code.
      Also the subscription code arrives a good 2hrs later after subscribing.
      However 13% cashrewards sweetens the deal!
      Total for me:
      Lenovo laptop cost: $1298.99
      Minus cashback: $168.87
      Cost after cashback: $1130.12
      I have pulled the trigger as I need a new laptop and partly to avoid the stress of Black Friday deals selling out. I do agree with another comment here though, you'll always find a better one with a better price, so just have to get it when you need it and if you feel the price is right.
