  • this or Thinkpad at $999 https://www.lenovo.com/au/en/p/laptops/thinkpad/thinkpade/le… ? Which one is better?

    • +1

      Thinkpad at $999

      300 nits

    • +1

      The ThinkPad E series is low-end and has a very bad screen.

      • -1

        E series can upgrade ram to 64gb and install another ssd disk. You can use it for many years

    • +5

      Depends. What do you value? If you're using it docked, I'd recommend the Thinkpad.

      I'm currently typing this reply on a T480 that I use as one of my daily drivers (the other is an M1 Air). I also have a Thinkpad X1 Yoga Gen 6 that I daily drive for work. Thinkpads overall are workhorses. Never had any issues with them and they just last so long. Their keyboards are SO much better than the competition and their build quality is robust.

      Although the one you've got linked is an E series model, I can't really comment on whether they will hold up as well since my experiences are based on the T series and X1 series.

      • Can second this.
        I have t480s with a 27 inch 4K screen for light MS works, only upgraded to 20GB (4 GB on board and 16GB slot) and a wifi 6 card. Excellent quality, great keyboard, just so satisfying.

    • E series thinkpad is always rubbish

  • -3

    400nits

    doesn't sound like much

    • also seems like Thinkpad has better processor ?

      • Yoga slim has MUCH better processor

        • better than the new snapdragon?

          • -1

            @jv: the i7-13700H is faster in multi-threaded testing, while the Snapdragon X Elite is faster in single-thread testing

    • Don't get down into the nitty gritty! :3

  • +2

    400 nits is plenty and good enough for entry HDR. 350nits is the minimum of a nice screen imo..

  • So close to pulling the trigger, really wanted the 7i 2 in 1 style but this is quite attractive.

    • keep an eye on the Lenovo outlet. Sometimes, there is more than 60% off deals.

    • Yeah if this was a touch screen I would be buying. Alas.

  • +1

    I got the 1t version from Lenovo outlet. I'm pretty happy with it so far. I wish it came with a touch screen.

    • The Lenovo website offers 2 year onsite warranty instead of 1 year from officeworks

  • this or wait for this again?

    im leading towards the Acer, better CPU and GPU - but the Lenovo may have better build quality, DV and hinge.

  • Need 32gb and bigger battery

    • -2

      why?

  • i believe this would be iris Xe graphics? how's it for 4-5 year old games at 1080p?

  • Any recommendations for a 2 in 1? Pref something on x86

    If this was the ryzen 7735H .. would have pulled the trigger… Intel 13th gen is pretty crap..

    • +1

      That's a rebranded Zen 3+ processor and pretty dated.

      • -1

        Intel cpus are pretty dated since gen 10th, same shit but AMD are now stable for long term than Intel gen 13th 14th

  • This plus egpu would make a solid daily laptop with gaming function!

  • -2

    who still buys Intel gen 13th 14th? lol.

  • +2

    Boxing day HODL

  • +1

    how's battery in this

    • Average to bad, watch the review

      • What review?

        • +1

          Linked in the post

  • The OLED display on this is an absolute gem. Can confirm.

    Also just a warning for my Linux brethren. Iris XE graphics are an absolute PITA, especially for gaming.

    Anyone buying Lenovo should think thrice now, their Australian office is permanently closed.

    I bought a Legion a month ago, come with many problems, white screen, unable to shut down, stuck on logo screen, then unable to turn on.

    Google search shows it potentially faulty Bios or GPU.

    Contact their warranty, all they do is asking me to follow instructions they sent me, I followed all the update instructions, problem got worse, unable to turn on eventually(suspected Bios update and Windows update corrupted each other). Now they are ignoring me.

    I then searched they main office in Australia, it PERMANENTLY CLOSED. And if you see all recent reviews, all negative.

    I lost $2400 for a brick.

    Sorry, not negative for the deal, but for the brand now that have no warranty.

    • even if it has an office in australia or not, you still have warranty and they have obligations to honor the warranty unless there is something else like water damage etc, lodge a case with them, ask them to escalate it internally, hell even raise it with ACCC and department of fair trading if they're not helping, let them know what your going to do incase they start helping saving you time lodging your case with accc and fair trading because they can also be a pain in the ass

      • Already did all you mentioned, Consumer Affairs Victoria, ACCC.

        They said they escalated the case, last response was on 9th Dec, asking me to run the update on a machine that won't even turn on.

        Yesterday got a same reply, they have escalated, and asking to run the update on that brick.

        Just my 2c that we recently bought 3 ideapads from Scorptec, one bricked itself when the Lenovo app (which is garbage btw) prompted my colleague for a bios update which they began. Scorptec begrudgingly replaced with another, which now has very strange issues, not sure if it's hardware of software, but:
        1. Chrome will become unresponsive for no apparent reason. Nothing clickable, all other apps fine.
        2. The system tray clock will stop randomly sometimes. The lock screen clock will show correct time, just the system tray will freeze.

        That's 2 of 4 systems with issues, so don't think I'll be buying Lenovo again unless it's a t series ThinkPad with next day on site replacement.

        • chrome is a very memory hungry application, you need to check task manager to see what tab / process is using all of your system resources likely thats what is causing chrome to become unresponsive, either that, or pc needs a refresh/reset to fix the other problems or you can try sfc/scannow

          • @johnfuller: Not a memory issue, I checked task manager and memory was only around 2/3 in use

            • @DeToxin: chrome uses a lot of system resources, memory, cpu, hdd demand, all of these are being shared across many applications so its hard to say where the problem is coming from, you need to do a memory test, cpu test, hdd test and see which one is causing pc to freeze

              • +1

                @johnfuller: I understand, but the machines are all the exact same model, running the same software, and only 1 is now having issues. It could be software or hardware, I CBF spending any time investing because that's not my job. If it also bricks we have everything backed up so we'll just get a replacement

                • -1

                  @DeToxin: once you start installing third party applications on it like chrome and visiting non-lenovo websites, it becomes your job, their job is at the operating system and hardware and thats it, anything else is like you buying a car and modifying the radio, they'll make claims against it

                  • @johnfuller: This is a very weird take but ok, we can agree to disagree. and I would say it's more analogous to tuning in a station on the stereo than installing a new one, but again, we can agree to disagree.

                    • -1

                      @DeToxin: im telling you how it is, they dont support anything past the hardware/software that is pre-installed, and sometimes even if its pre-installed doesnt mean they will fully support it, if their hardware tests check out, they will say its something you've installed or the software is bugged and it needs to be re-freshed and will provide you the procedure to do it yourself because its not even their software

                      check the product terms

                      • @johnfuller: I'm not even contacting lenovo or scorptec? did you read my comment?
                        If it happens to be hardware, like an issue with 13th gen silicon or something else left field, it will just reach the point where it becomes too unstable to use at which point it won't be a single app but most apps, and at that point I'll return it to scorptec after running some basic stability tests

    • Sorry, not negative for the deal, but for the brand now that have no warranty.

      To be fair there are plenty of noname brands on ozbargain that gets upvoted to oblivion. For these you generally are out of luck for any warranties.

      • But they don't cost $2k+, most of them are under $100, and people are prepared to risk for it, since similar branded item cost 2,3,4,5 time more.

        • If you used a debit or credit card, just chargeback

  • Screen hinges have broken on three out of three Lenovo Flex 5i laptops used in my household for the last three years. Two have a cracked screen as a result. The hinges pressed into the touchscreens when they broke. One of not usable any more as a result

    Consequently I'm avoiding Lenovo's as replacements.

    • Lenovo Thinkpads are still Lenovos, right? And Thinkpads are traditionally built like tanks apparently.

      Really want a Thinkpad for that reason - my Dell and Acer and Acers have been poor quality - but am open to trying a Thinkpad..

  • what about this one? Cheaper, older processor but gtx3050.
