    Pity GPU isn't M290X..

    No warranty and with their reliability issues these past few years you really want that.

      No, you get warranty, you just have to send it back to the US. Please stop spreading misinformation.

      Also, what reliability issues? Lenovo is one of the most reliable notebook manufacturers.

        I work for a biggish corporate body and we changed over to Lenovo recently and we have had a marked increase of hardware failures. Prior we have had Dell and HP's with about 30% less DOA then Lenovo and the general feel and build quality is less.

          very true. they will be switching back I bet.

          Same here, though Lenovo has been one of our SOE choices for many years, is proven to be the least reliable in the last 3 or 4.

        You don't get warranty, try reading up on how the system works before you open your gob.

          Oh come on. That's not how it works.

  • kenmizuki on 02/12/2014 - 12:05

    do they ship to aus ?

  • CarbonTwelve on 02/12/2014 - 12:07

    FWIW, despite being an i7 the CPU is only dual core. The GPU is decent though.

    don't ship internationally.

    I would opine that this is pretty damn good bang for your buck. Shame it doesn't tick all the boxes for me, otherwise I would snap it up as I'm shopping for a decent 14-15 laptop.

    I'm actually looking at a thin Horize one ATM, the only thing stopping me is the lack of a backlit keyboard. :( Hard to be picky AND cheap.

  • PVA on 02/12/2014 - 13:39

    how do you get it to ship to Oz for free?

  • zedroid on 02/12/2014 - 15:18

    Can anyone recommend a similar specifications laptop from an Aussie retailer?
