True, the first one is new though

You can get a similarly spec'd 14 inch Thinkpad for that price or cheaper https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/146119332846…

I would say that alot of peoples' bad experience from 8th gen Intel CPUs come down to they would have used it at work and it couldn't…

lol https://computerandlaptopsales.com.au/apple-macbook-a1534-2017-m3-8gb/ how deceptive. Technically it is an m3 ... just not that one you…

I think the point is that market leaders can set a precedent of what they can get away with and the competitors will see that and follow…

Despite the name, Ryzen 5700U isn't a real 5000-series. It's a 4000-series in disguise

If you want something comparable at 14 inch you can go for ThinkPad L14 Gen 4. Should have better build quality than IdeaPad…

If you are HP-inclined there are also these 2 other comparable deals https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/896033…

Yes for sure. One thing to keep in mind is up to L14 gen 2 the SSD form factor is the more common 2280 type but for L14 Gen 3 and above…

Fair point, though I was just showing a rough guide via a quick search of something equivalent (give or take a bit you can get something…

I only had to look for news articles less that a week old to see what anti-consumer dodginess HP is up to these days. Here you go, "HP…

Agreed. Apart from those reasons I would simply not buy HP due to them being a consumer-hostile company. Look at the shenangians they pull…

From what I can tell it's soldered. Yeah, SSD is upgradable. Apart from those cheapo Chinese eMMC-based storage devices, and Macs (let's…

Yeah for sure this is better (especially if you have ebay plus)

oh yeah, the 13inchers (L13) might have soldered ram but I L14 / lL15 should all be socketed

Yes though current day Lenovo is confused with their product lines ... often they don't have the same distinctions they used to have (maybe…

If you stretch your budget a bit more you can get something newer that still is still modular (L series thinkpads)…

Anyone got their order honored? This is a shame because this is the kind of deal you keep an eye out for (the outside the normal yoyo…

Cancelled as well

The 6600H iGPU should be way better. The N97 has a minimal Intel Xe GPU with only 24 eu and is in single channel (not meant for games)

Once you tick the coupon it should show $329 when you are at checkout

The Ryzen 6950H is closer to the usual discount (maybe a bit cheaper) whereas this 6600H deal is more of a genuine discount. Don't think I…

Even if a Thinkpad gets damaged, it's one of the easiest (and perhaps cheapest) to find parts and easy to repair. I daresay that apart from…

From what I can tell, the Intel 125H should be better across the board - more CPU cores, faster iGPU (using the new Arc GPU which should be…

Keep in mind that the Ryzen 7535HS is a rebadge of the 6000-series - which are still okay but still close in performance to the…

Looks like a decent deal to me though here's some comparable deals https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/235199316988…

Hey, there's nothing wrong with Cantaloupe Computers

One thing you can try is if you have 2 sticks of RAM, remove one of them and test the stability (and again with the other if it still the…

When I clear the dust from the inside fans and keyboard I find those handheld tyre inflators seem to work well (like a substitute for those…

I agree. I was only mentioning the screen panel swap in response to the screen being ordinary
