          No, it gets built to order, then shipped. It'll take at least 2 weeks, maybe 3.

          My delivery took about 3 weeks, however I wasn't in a hurry. For the delay they offered me a backpack - which is awesome.

      That's any laptop CPU unless you move into the HQ range, usually found in gaming laptops, or much more expensive models.

      They are also 45W TDP versus 15W TDP so are totally different in what they are used for.

    • Yuri Lowell on 10/02/2017 - 16:16

      Good luck finding a HQ in this form factor at this price.

        Good luck carrying this bulk of chunk with only 2 cores! I love 2 core laptops but would not carry a tank for the CPU power of a bike if they paid me!
        Maximum weight for a 2 core laptop for me should be below 500-800 grams, maximum thickness 1cm, maximum screen size 14inch.
        If I am going to carry a tank, I carry a tank with tank power.

        • Wonderfool on 11/02/2017 - 14:32
          +2

          @aerona: 2 core is standard for this price and design. Most laptops with quads are for specialised purpose. For majority of the market, dual core is better due to higher battery efficiency and heat efficiency.

        • dfaktz on 11/02/2017 - 23:27

          @Wonderfool: While on a niche basis you are correct, alot of the time CPU chosen is actually dependent on what is in the current high volume production lines.. It may be hard to believe but the customer doesn't always come in first place when competing with price.. And the references to power are so dependent on the architecture these days, not the core cluster size.

  • railspider on 10/02/2017 - 13:15

    You won't get build quality and specs like that for any cheaper. Great deal.

    I'm currently more interested in a lighter ultrabook-style laptop, but for under $900 (after CR) this is really hard to resist!

    Will photoshop, illustrator and indesign work smoothly on this?
    Asking as a design student in need of a budget (<1000$) portable (<2kg) laptop. I don't plan on anything too intensive, but it'd be really nice to have something I can comfortably work on while in class/at uni.

    • Rumbaar on 10/02/2017 - 14:30

      Depends on what you're doing, but yes. The 14" screen will be the bigger issues with design work, than the hardware keeping up.

    • [Deactivated] on 10/02/2017 - 14:39

      It does a decent job with lightroom + pp. That said, my raw files aren't that big (35mb) and I don't do heavy photoshopping with hundred of layers (15 tops).

      It does feel light due to its plasticy framing and I could carry it with one hand around. The oils of your hands and finger will stick in the laptop quite quickly , but most laptops will.

    • fleetfeather on 10/02/2017 - 15:27

      Colour gamut is like 72% on these things. Would only be suitable for high quality work if you plugged a different monitor into it.

    Please excuse the ignorance, don't know anything about laptop GPUs. How does this compare to say a GTX660 (2GB)?

    • garage sale on 10/02/2017 - 15:09
      +1

      All these laptop GPUs are mobile versions so comparison to full version due to similar numbers is misleading ….. Same with CPUs they are mobile versions. But it's the trade-off for mobility due to heat and cooling constraints.

    • Yuri Lowell on 10/02/2017 - 16:23
      +1

      Probably around half the performance of a 660 if the 940MX is the 512 CUDA core 2GB GDDR5 version. If it's the ddr3 version then it will be even less. It doesn't specify.

    • dfaktz on 10/02/2017 - 21:39
      +1

      If price isn't an issue I'd wait abit if I was you, at the moment, through the magic of pascal architecture for GPU's they are now putting desktop formfactor 1080's in high range gaming models, give it a year and you'll probably see the the low end of 1080 laptops coming into the $1500 range. Currently at about $2100 for cheapest but the USD -> AUD currency conversion isn't helping either! :(

      • eecan on 10/02/2017 - 22:06

    • nubzy on 10/02/2017 - 15:48
      +3

      Its a good spec and excellent value. The only drawbacks are average build quality, thickness and weight. It is not ideal if you plan to travel with it, but great if you plan to use it at your desk and around the house. I'm more interested in portable laptop these days, like the T460S.

  • [Deactivated] on 10/02/2017 - 15:57

    940MX is a let down though. Apart that it is perfect for everyday computing.

    • nubzy on 10/02/2017 - 15:59

      Many people can get by with integrated graphics. Can still do some basic photo and video editing im sure.

        Even i3 series can handle such basic tasks if it is paired with a decent SSD(Samsung or Micron) and over 8GB of RAM.

    • Yuri Lowell on 10/02/2017 - 16:29

      It can play most popular games just fine (Overwatch, Dota 2, Leage of Legends, etc) and can run most modern AA games at low settings.

    Got one from last sale (AUD$959), shipped from Shanghai for roughly 2 weeks.
    Despite the missing backlit, the key board is pretty comfortable, and QUIET!
    Was thinking of upgrading the RAM to 32GB however surprisingly it runs my 3 virtual machines (Virtualbox: win2012 4GB Ram 1CPU, ubuntu 2GB Ram 1CPU, win7 2GB Ram 1CPU) at the same time smoothly with its 16GB. I didn't do gaming though.
    Battery is not that strong but it's good enough, very enough.
    Very much satisfied.

    • movieman on 10/02/2017 - 17:11

      I dont think HP warranty is any better.

      • Associateddouglasac10 @ Lenovo on 10/02/2017 - 20:51

        Last time I dealt with HP warranty was last year and it took a literal month and a complaint about a complaint about a complaint to get them to send a tech they'd promised to send several times prior.

        Last time I dealt with Lenovo was about three and a half years ago now, had enough dead pixels on my T530 to get the screen replaced. Called them, parts arrived in two days to the local place that does the Lenovo repairs, dropped the laptop into them and they dropped the laptop back to my work at lunch to me. That said, I had paid for the onsite warranty upgrade, which I do strongly reccomend for this very reason so that you don't have to send it away for a couple of weeks if it goes pearshaped.

    i'm still waiting for mine that I purchased on 15 December last year.

    If they lose your package in transit, don't expect to get it soon. If you don't follow up they won't care.

    Their after sale support is limited by the requirement to get the external couriers to confirm the package has been lost (which obviously have no urgency to confirm an item is lost). In the meantime you are forced to wait.

    Note: the after sales support is very poor at returning email, returning voicemail and giving updates so be very very patient.

  • AM1 on 11/02/2017 - 15:40

    Is there a reason why you'd go for the 2 x 8GB modules and not get the single 16GB module so you could upgrade in future?

    • ajm07 on 12/02/2017 - 15:51

      The E470 is capable of operating RAM in 'dual channel'. Hence you'll get a marginal performance boost with the two sticks of RAM.

      I don't know much about this stuff - this is an interesting read http://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/1349-ram-how-dual-channel-….

      So my thoughts were I'd probably go the two sticks since I have no immediate plans to upgrade the RAM.

      • pn09 on 12/02/2017 - 16:43

        Thanks ajm07.

        16GB is plenty so we most likely won't be upgrading it in the lifetime of the laptop - so will opt for the 2 sticks.

  • Marrk on 15/02/2017 - 09:39

    Does anyone else have an issue where the laptop is not going in to sleep mode when the lid is shut? I can still hear notification sounds / the light on the back is still on when the lid is shut, which means that if I leave it a day, the battery is fully depleted.
