  Out of curiosity I plugged in that configuration into the customised model and it returned $758. It has an option to move to 1920x1080 for an extra $55 on top of that.

      I haven't stressed it enough, looks like ~5 hours of word processing/emails.
      You can set some pretty aggressive power settings too.

    I was thinking of getting one of these systems, what's the shipping like? I've seen a few threads on Whirlpool and reddit saying they're pretty bad but I wasn't sure if that was only USA or if the threads were a bit outdated.

      Shipping took a week and a half.
      Stock came from China, they don't seem to carry much locally.

  Review says…
  "screen is too dark and its contrast is too low,"

  Despite its AR-coated surface, the ThinkPad Edge is not recommendable for outdoor use. That is not only due to the laptop's size and weight, but also the screen's brightness of just over 200 cd/m². That is simply too little to ensure unrestricted legibility particularly on sunny days. Thus, the user would either have to look for a shadowy place or stay at the desk from the outset - that is definitely more the E550's comfort zone.
  Outdoors in lightly overcast conditions

  For technology-related reasons, a TN screen will never achieve the same viewing-angle stability as an IPS screen. However, there are sometimes extreme differences even among screens with the same build. Our review sample exhibited severe image deviations in the slightest vertical shifts, and it is not advisable to move too much horizontally, either. That is not a very satisfactory result even for a TN-based model.

  Which is a bit of a bummer, this is not a budget laptop yet they'ved cheaped out on the display.

  I can't believe they still sell laptops with slow non-ssd hard drives…
