RENTREE12

Noticed this one on HotUKDeals so credit to them, seems to be selling quickly as already small delay in shipping.

Screen - 1920x1080, HD 1TB, RAM 8 GB
Intel Core i3 4005U 1.7 Ghz
Intel HD Graphics
2 port(s) HDMI; 1 port(s) USB 2.0; 1 port(s) USB 3.0; 1 port(s) Ethernet; 1 prise(s) jack
Windows 8.1 with upgrade to Windows 10

Could not find this exact model in StaticIce but the 4gb version without the 1080 screen is currently listed as $694.

It will come with a French keyboard, so if you might want to pickup a replacement one or get used to a slightly different layout and a few different symbols.

The code gives 12% off, and once tax is removed in the checkout comes to 323 Eur delivered to QLD, which is $480 by XE.com

    correct me if I'm wrong, but can't you specify the type of keyboard being used in windows and not have the different symbols? The symbols will be printed on the keys physically but I think you can still used them as AUS,UK or US Keyboard if you specify it in the OS.

    • Pobman on 06/08/2015 - 22:26

      You can but the French use AZERTY rather than QWERTY so might get confusing. You could get stickers or order a replacement keyboard from eBay for about $24 delivered.

          @nerd1:
          Just physically switching the keys won't help much.

          It's not the letters that's the problem, it's the symbols you don't use in everyday typing that get hard to find.

          @KentT:

          That's alright, it's just be a case of updating that. I'm guessing if someone's comfortable with changing a keyboard, they'll be able to hard change the keys.

          But definitely a valid point.

    • onebee on 06/08/2015 - 22:56

      I just checked the link carefully. its picture show that the keyboard layout is normal QWERTY. here is a direct link for picture: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/71PelUBZKhL.SL1500.jpg

        The picture does show QWERTY, but the spec states its AZERTY and people who bought it in an earlier deal for a few Euro more confirmed it is too.

      Possibly to some degree:

      https://support.lenovo.com/au/en/documents/ht074528

      However if you go through support resources for this laptop you get a list of contact numbers for various countries but Australia is not in that list. In particular this configuration does not seem to be available here.

      So quite possibly you will need to deal with Amazon, though from personal experience that has always been pretty smooth.

      Yes and previous buyers stated there is no 'warranty void' sticker to break when replacing the HD.

    • cwongtech on 07/08/2015 - 00:10

      No way Skylake will be in next month that quickly. We're in Australia, so at least 3 months behind the world. Also - mobile processors hasn't been released yet. Probably 2 months away if you want to grey import a refreshed Broadwell laptop

      • [Deactivated] on 07/08/2015 - 00:53

        I have family friends in industry who ship it to me with their big discounts. Been doing it since I was in high school. I got my first HP desktop direct from America. I am limited to HP, IBM and Microsoft, but I can't complain.

        The IBM stuff usually comes with 110V stuff, so I have to use a transformer, but I rarely need any of their technology.

        Skylake laptops are definitely coming next month for corporate customers. I don't know when it will be available for everyday consumers.

    Up to the point of applying the code it all appears to be working fine.

          I'm just saying that the user experience may not be optimal when you've 3 screens running with an i3.

          Also I can't think of any reasons why my granny would want 3 screens.

        • macrocephalic on 07/08/2015 - 12:09

          @inose: If you think a haswell i3 won't give a decent user experience just because it has three screens attached then you seriously underestimate the performance of modern processors. That low power i3 benchmarks about the same as Core2Quad CPU's that were in workstation desktops a few years ago.

      Best thing is probably to jump straight to Windows 10 and do a clean install, that will dump off any Lenovo bloatware they might have installed….

    • ghostdom on 07/08/2015 - 11:14

      switch mode power supply should works from 100V to 250V. So you will be fine.

      Maybe just need to replace the AC plug power lead.

    • Pobman on 07/08/2015 - 11:29

      To start with France is the same as here … and anyway laptops are almost always multi voltage. So a plug adapter is all you need, or swap out the cable.

      • Nerazzuro on 07/08/2015 - 11:30

        ok sweet so i can use my old charger to charge it?

        • Pobman on 07/08/2015 - 11:32

          No you can, possibly, use your old cable that plugs in to your old charger … but likely the old charger will be different, unless its from the same range of laptops.

          Either way this part will not be an issue… the French keyboard will be more annoying. However thats easy enough to sort as already mentioned.

      when ordering this online and shipping to AU, does it have GST for tax return?

      What does GST have to do with your income tax return? Nothing so you depreciate this the same as you would for an Australian purchased one of the same dollars.

      If you are asking about a BAS you should stop running a business if you don't understand that a GST free purchase is entered in the area for GST free purchases.

    • Make it so on 07/08/2015 - 11:10

      Looking closer at the images. It's definitely not 2 x HDMI. I can see the following ports

      1 x HDMI
      2 x USB 2.0 (1 on either case side)
      1 x USB 3.0
      1 x ETHERNET
      1 x VGA
      1 x Kingston type lock port
      1 x SD card adapter

    Went through the checkout and although EUR323 converts to AUD480 via straight conversion from xe.com, I am getting charged AUD499 when I choose to pay Amazon in AUD. Should I pay in EUR and let my CC company do the conversion? Or there won't be much in it between the 2 methods? I don't have 28 degrees unfortunately.

    • Pobman on 07/08/2015 - 12:56

      Well you never get the XE.com rates, as they are mid-market … no idea what your bank will charge you… even if you have it changed to AUD at Amazon many of the big banks will charge you a foreign transaction fee just for the fact it was processed overseas, despite being in AUD…

    Edit: Took me awhile to figure out how to change to English. Would have helped heaps if I actually had an 8.1 Eng UI next to it. Keyboard will drive me nuts I reckon, the / , ? and \ keys will be a joy to use NOT.

    • Pobman on 18/08/2015 - 16:11

      Grab that replacement keyboard from eBay or go for the stickers… somebody suggested moving the keys, but not sure how that would work out.

      Definitely AZERTY is not for me!

      Anybody else who has issues with the language there are a few videos on YouTube that cover it, used those when moving from Chinese to English on a tablet.

    • BuyNow Think Later on 19/08/2015 - 17:08
