  • I wonder if you can use a 2280 SSD?

    • +2

      Apparently only a 2242 slot:

      • M.2 Slot 1x 2242 PCIe NVMe 4.0 x4

    Any review of this laptop on youtube? Pictures?

    • +1

      146 upvotes on last deal… I’d say it must be pretty good

    • My reply above has a link to a review by Laptop Media; it seems quite comprehensive, including tear-down video and method. Their review sample has the same CPU and screen optioned but I am not sure how much RAM was specced.

      Edit: The review sample has a smaller battery than the config in this deal.

    • When you close it, the gap is a bit big between the screen and body. The Screen is not as good as my XiaoMi book (2 years ago, OLED, 500 nit, higher resolution). Other than that, all good.

  • +3

    Damn, very tempted, wish it was the 14inch model.

  • Would laptops like this be able to play GTA5 or RDR?

    • +1

      GTA5, pretty easily. Can probably play very high 1080p and the 1% won't dip below 60 fps.

      In R2D2, it'll do 60 fps if you do low to medium settings.

      Think of this as around the performance of a 1060 3gb.

  • +1

    Is this integrated graphics? How is it with gaming?

    • I'm also curious about this - if it can handle some games (not even at 4k), this might be a winner!

      • Might look into this, my LG gram is also integrated but can't even play any 3d games tho..

        • If you find out, let me know! This ticks a lot of boxes, but if it can game as well then I think it's a definitive purchase

    • Yes it's integrated. AMD's best integrated is the 890m I think, which is very rare atm. The 780m can play most games at their lowest settings and is a little bit slower in most cases than the Intel Arc integrated.

  • Need to pay $20 for backlit KB??? Shouldn't this feature be standard these days?

    • Kaikor I paid the extra $30 for backlit kB.

      • Well the wife did. Birthday present and I am near on blind. Backlit yeah should be included. Bit hey 1339 all up delivered is a great deal.

        • Yeah for sure my old eyes need backlit, and that abyss blue color looks really sexy too, another $30!

          • @kaikor: D'oh I should have done the abyss blue too :( oh well when I look at it I'll go not as sexy but I got $30 for something else :p

  • How much more would I need to spend to get something with:

    a) a screen I can read in sunlight
    b) expandable RAM

    The Legion 9i might fit the bill screen and RAM wise. Somewhat pricey though. I'd be happy with a older slower power efficient CPU even a 2nd hand machine with discrete graphics.

    Suggestions?

  • just bought one. This ticks almost all the boxes replacing my Macbook M1.
    Upgraded to 1T.

    • Why the switch? Just after something different. The MacBook monitor limit has been annoying me (if it was 3 external in clam I’d be fine ) but iMessage alas owns me due to family and also iPhone cameras being consistently good.

      • Yes, Monitor limit annoyed me too! I had a docking once work with 2 external monitor, and suddenly not.

        plus, RAM and Storage are too expensive to upgrade.
        plus I wanna switch to Linux too. which I've been using for years.

        • Yeah I too hear the call of a Linux thinkpad.

  • +2

    An upsized cashback would make this deal even better

    • tried to looking around, can't see any.
      which one gets the cashback pls?

      • +1

        ShopBack offering 8% cashback until 12am tonight

        • I think you are referring to non-edu store's.

          "These items are not eligible for Cashback:

    Touchscreen?

    • Only when my fingers are greasy.

  • I was looking at the Yoga Slim 7i Aura but with the OLED screen, this seems to tick the 4k movies ans basic gaming box. It's just a bit heavier.

  • thinkpad homies represent xoxo

  • USB-C supports up to 3840x2160@60Hz

    Is that one monitor or can it do two monitors at that resolution and frame rate? Specifically the LG 32UN88A of course

    Realistically, what's the battery life? 8 hours?

    No reason why I can't remove Windows and chuck a Linux distro like Ubuntu on?

  • IdeaPad Slim? Or IdeaPad Pro? Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5 R7-8845HS, 32GB DDR5, 512GB SSD, Radeon 780M, 16" 2.6K IPS 350nits 120Hz, 84Wh Bat $1299 Delivered

    • I personally prefer the OLED

      • Yeah it would certainly look nicer, is brighter too, but chat elsewhere said OLED uses a little more energy too. So I guess if battery life was the ultimate goal, maybe the pro could win out there.
