Here's an update of Lenovo's exclusive coupon that we ran in March/April. As most of you would know that Haswell has been revealed, and the new line of laptops are going to be released. The current lineups are in clearance mode, and Lenovo has provided us this coupon code to get $130 off from ThinkPad EDGE E330 13.3" laptops.

Code: OZBPCQM1

When you go to the ThinkPad EDGE E330 page, pick the one in the middle (Part Number: 3354CTO). Here's the spec:

  • Core i3-3120M
  • Windows 8 or Windows 7 Home Premium
  • 13.3" display (1366x768)
  • 4GB DDR3 RAM
  • 320GB HDD at 7200RPM
  • 6 cell battery
  • 1.8kg
  • 1 Year warranty

As suggested by unyilusro in comment, this is probably a better buy. Select the right most model on the E330 page and then apply the coupon code to get $145.72 off. Final price $503.28 and you get the following upgrade:

  • i5-3230M
  • 500GB HDD at 7200RPM
Computing 13.3inch Computer Laptop Lenovo ThinkPad

    PowerBuy IT has a $120 Cashback on Edge Laptops. Problem is you have to buy from a store other than Lenovo directly. If anyone finds a cheaper price from another store, do let us know. :) http://www.powerbuy.com.au/lenovo-thinkpad-edge/

    can it be customised with SSD, either from leveno or afterwards? pc without ssd just isn't worth it

      I was wondering the same thing. Looks like it's fairly easy to change out the HDD for an SSD - http://support.lenovo.com/en_AU/product-and-parts/detail.pag…. Also it has an mSATA slot but I'm a bit hazy on what I could do with that - if I installed one (like here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3b91U6Fa2o) then could I move OS to it?

      • mskeggs on 03/06/2013 - 12:04

        I think you could, or you can use one as a cache.

        There's also a thread mentioning this on Whirlpool http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1991009 - seems it's not as straightforward as thought to install SSD. If I buy this I might get a 120GB mSATA instead.

    • leetec on 03/06/2013 - 12:37

      You will need to buy a 7mm SSD for this one, like Intel 520 series.
      Just create a recovery media from original hdd, then swap the hdd, load the windows back again. Or let a tech guy do it for you.

    • scotty on 03/06/2013 - 12:42
      +1

      See my previous comment — basically you can either install a full 2.5" 7mm/9mm SSD or a mSATA SSD. There are YouTube videos on how to open this up and doesn't seem to be a lot of work.

    • ThadtheChad on 03/06/2013 - 16:32

      ^^ This! Scotty, suggest this option as well in the main post. Adding components to the mid end one seems to be a lot more expensive that picking this one.

    Love the current E series for making it so easy to access the CPU/RAM/HDD/etc for upgrades or maintenance. Hope they keep a similar design for their Haswell range.

      E330 is quite solid from what I've read. E430/E530 however suffered from the pulsing fan noise issue that is still unsolved after many months. Lenovo is now selling E431/E531 though on their website with hopefully the fan issue fixed, but that thing has those huge 5 button touch pad. Great for touch pad users, but not TrackPoint users :(

          they must have a magic code then that's different to the one i used.

    • mrStraw on 03/06/2013 - 13:30

      Looks like it's free to upgrade to Intel Centrino 2230 wifi adaptor for 2x2 wifi - would recommend that. Don't know if there's any benefit in paying $7.70 for the Thinkpad 2x2 instead.

        That's what I was wondering.
        I get $509.25 with i5 and the $7.70 wifi module. Would need to spend another ~$60 for mSATA SSD drive cache. Unless you wanna forgo the magnetic HDD all together I don't think there's much benefit in getting any more than 30GB in SSD drive cache. Now, do I click checkout button or not????

        There should be some bargains around over the next 3 weeks with the combination of new Intel CPUs and EOFY sales.

      Have been thinking…is there such a thing as owning too many computers though?

      I have the following:
      1. A beast of a desktop
      2. Dell studio that I use as my linux box (from work)
      3. Dell vostro 3550 from work
      4. Macbook pro 13" that's been tricked out (256GB SSD + 16GB of RAM)
      5. N40L running as a NAS and Usenet machine
      6. A jailbroken ipad2 that I use primarily as a "bed-browsing device" + XBMC

      And now this… (intend to replace #2)

      sigh

      • scotty on 03/06/2013 - 20:16

        I won't call (6) a computer… until jailbroken :)

        You also have computers for/from work (2 & 3), computers from home (1 & 4) and a NAS that sits around doing all the background job (5). I guess it's not bad, but certainly far from excessive.

        Personally I have one computer for work and home (a ThinkPad T-series), an old Dell Inspiron to run the latest Ubuntu, a QNAP NAS with chroot Debian to run all the background jobs, and about 10 VPS around the world doing different stuff :P

Not many people know about this, as it is not really advertised. Sorry I can't help with a link, good luck.

      • CodeWorks on 04/06/2013 - 07:49

        Thanks, Scotty. Place my order of i5+8GB Ram at $571, it is very good deal. Have been struggling to justify a new laptop on the existing two laptop + 2 tablet + 3 smartphone, but can't resist it finally…. BTW, any idea of the delivery time?

        • scotty on 04/06/2013 - 09:12

          It depends… I think it would have told you the estimate in your purchase history?

        • Phoebus on 04/06/2013 - 10:02

          Ordering extra RAM from Lenovo for ~$60 makes you look like a Gumby (not a good look on ozbargain). The going rate for 4GB soDIMM is about $30.

        • CodeWorks on 04/06/2013 - 10:25

          lol… I just aware that 4GB ram is a bit pricy, but it really only cost me $30 after considering the tax benefit and GST rebat :)

    Cheers Scotty..ordered the same as nickyd84 except went on a whim with windows 8 just to see what its like..think I might bung an SSD in it to give it some extra zip..maybe the plextor @ msy.

    • garylau on 04/06/2013 - 09:04

      I believe you should get the mSATA SSD as the normal SSD can't fit in..

      • scotty on 04/06/2013 - 09:10

        No. It uses the standard 2.5" SATA3 drives. However get a mSATA if you want to have two drives.

        • garylau on 04/06/2013 - 09:15

          Thanks Scotty, I was meant to say that. :) I read some articles saying it cannot replaced by the SATA SSD. I might be wrong then.

  • pomchu on 04/06/2013 - 10:13

    If i get a mSATA drive I don't think I can use the mobile broadband as it takes up the same spot as the Ericsson H5321. I decided on Centrino 2X2 and not the Thinkpad 1x1.

    • garylau on 04/06/2013 - 10:47

      Did you choose the w/WWAN option which is $88 extra? The Centrino 2X2 should't occupy the slot. I picked the Centrino 2X2 as well after reading a few threads.

  • pomchu on 04/06/2013 - 11:01

    Yes I did choose the w/WWAN option but I didn't mean the Centrino 2x2 would occupy the slot for the Ericsson H5321 however I thought that maybe the mSATA would. I chose the Centrino 2x2 instead of the Thinkpad 1x1 which was different to what nickyd84 chose. I plan on replacing the 500GB with a 2.5 SATA just like what Scotty suggested.
