The last ThinkPad E570p deal went quite well, and I have received any coupon for the base model of this budget-gaming-ThinkPad (these 3 words don't usually come together). Use coupon code NEWE570P to take $130 off the lowest configuration and 50% off Next Business Day warranty (which would be useful if you are buying for business). So here's what you get for $1169:

  • Intel Core i5-7300HQ (4 core, 4 threads, 6634 average Passmark)
  • 15.6" Full HD IPS display
  • 8GB DDR4 RAM
  • 128GB SSD
  • NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 2GB

It has a spare 2.5" drive bay and one extra DDR4 SODIMM slot which can be used for upgrade later. Note that GTX1050ti only has 2GB memory (rather than 4GB on many PCIe cards), so you might not be able to play some games in 1080p ultra settings. Lenovo did recently start selling their Legion Y520 series with 1050Ti 4GB, but heavier, more expensive (from $1499), and not-a-ThinkPad.

3 Year on-site NBD upgrade is an extra $134.75.

    How is this compared to the Dell deal and the E470 - Light gaming (heroes of the storm, csgo etc), programming, multi tasking and looking at horse videos/a current affair? (seriously though)

    • jeefbeef on 04/05/2017 - 17:09

      Much better than the E470 at all of those - this has a proper quad core CPU and a 1050 Ti graphics card. The E470 would struggle hard in some games with a 940MX, and suffer lower frames in CSGO due to the dual core CPU.

      This is a pretty damn good deal for a quad core laptop and 1050 Ti.

      10 s ….. they will be developing stores for school apps and corporates so you don't need the parasites in the it dept packaging apps and pushing them down via SCCM.

      give each school a store in office 365 and they can control tha apps kids can load ….. same for corporates…. rather than developing an soe or have open desktops and kids load crap and even adults ……

      think market segements ….. wouldn't use 10 s at home as most apps i want aren't in a store.

      apple have done this for years ….. load apps from their store easily ….. out side of store it asks you questions to make sure you know the app might have viruses.

      lots of people load apps from play store for this phones …. same model.

  • ActualActurary on 04/05/2017 - 17:51

    Does anyone know if you could hook up two monitors to this thing? I see in the tech specs that it has 1x HDMI and from the picture it looks like it has one port too. But how would one get two monitors to work on it?

    Cheers

    • scotty on 04/05/2017 - 17:55

      No it does not work. HDMI is also 1.4 so max out at UHD@30fps. It does have a few USB3 ports which you can then use those USB->HDMI adaptor to connect to more monitors.

          it does according to the spec page.
          So if you want to output to external monitor you just need to buy a USB-C to DisplayPort cable.

        • CodeXD on 05/05/2017 - 13:11

          @bogak: it doesn't say usb type-c in the tech spec of e570p

    • [Deactivated] on 05/05/2017 - 16:12

      Nah, more like 1 game. BF1 is about 40gb without any DLC. I've had my new gaming laptop for a week and i am already getting 75% ssd usage popups

    • FabMan on 05/05/2017 - 17:12

      So true, but external HDD's work a treat. Problem with Steam is if it doesn't detect your game, it removes it from the list, so you wouldn't want to run Steam if you don't have it plugged in. Assuming you are playing Steam games.

  • Richardc on 04/05/2017 - 20:12

    hope they have the $1 docking offer again.

    According to their website, the Lenovo Y520 starts at $1499 which comes with GTX1060M (instead of GTX1050TI) can be configured with 16RAM taking the total to $1649 after using the discount code LENOVO15 takes the system down to $1401.54

    • El Cap on 04/05/2017 - 20:31

      does the LENOVO15 still work?

    • scotty on 04/05/2017 - 20:39

      Y520 comes with 1050ti 4GB, and Y720 comes with GTX1060. The product selection page for Y520 shows GTX1060M which is just wrong.

      • rendezvous on 04/05/2017 - 20:45

        I suspected that The Y520 does not come with GTX1060M but the website shows otherwise - "Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060M 4GB".
        Can anyone confirm that?

        • scotty on 04/05/2017 - 20:48
          +3

          Yes it's wrong, and it should be 1050ti 4GB. Told Lenovo about it earlier this week, but it looks like they haven't fixed it.

    • tjquach1001 on 05/05/2017 - 00:01

        It's not about honouring it. It's the fact that they will just send the Y520 as is with the 1050Ti.

    • suti on 05/05/2017 - 08:18

  • iforgotmysocks on 04/05/2017 - 21:04

    Pretty decent!

  • El Cap on 04/05/2017 - 21:19

    If I am not planning to game, does it matter much having Nvidia graphics card instead of getting Intel HD Graphics 620… I'm thinking of getting the X1 carbon but like the 15.6' on 570p. Can't decide :(

    • scotty on 04/05/2017 - 22:28

      There's also E570 (without the p) that's cheaper and lighter. However E570p has a real quadcore CPU not those ULV dial cores.

    • dodgydarji on 05/05/2017 - 15:20
      +1

      I was struggling with the same decision! I think what swayed it for me was reading up on the performance of the Intel HD card on video editing. I don't do lots of it, but occasionally handle 4K videos which the 570p will handle better. The price points also played a part so went with the E570p. The 'p' version uses an aluminium body which is different to the the other E laptops and even has a backlit keyboard which will be useful for me. I spent a week contemplating and ended up getting the i5 e570p upgrading the ram to 16gb, and hard drive to 256gb. If you want a 'true' thinkpad then I would look at the T470p - I wish I had the money for it! Looks a great size and weight and its regularly feature in the top 10 for ultrabooks.

      So if you're not gaming and video editing I think the X1 is a good option. Looks really nice too

      • El Cap on 05/05/2017 - 16:28
        +1

        Hey mate. This is good advice for me, thanks a lot. I haven't done video editing or played games in the last two years at least. I feel I should try games since there is so much interest :) (but I won't.)

        My jobs going to end in a couple of months, and then I'll have to give back the laptop they've given me. I am planning to buy laptop using salary sacrifice while I can.

        In a way, I should get a nice lappy since there is a bit of discount from salary sacrifice as well. On the other hand, I might need the money in case I wasn't able to land a job soon enough. I'll get a X1 or a T once I finish the job application I am preparing right now.

        I only saw later I wasn't very clear about my question. I was looking for an answer like yours.

          +1

          Happy I could help… I spent a fair bit of time deciding crawling forums and all sorts trying to help me make a decision. Salary sacrifice is a great option too, by the sounds of it the X1 would be a perfect fit for your needs

        • El Cap on 09/05/2017 - 18:41

          @dodgydarji: I got the X1 with i7-7500U, 16GB, 256ssd.
          Didn't buy an extended warranty. Hope that'll not come back and bite me.

      hmmm should I keep my order for the e570p with 256gb ssd and 1tb hdd for $1315, or swap it for this… $146 extra for 1tb hhd +128gb ssd, i guess thats worth it. the 256gb ssd option is NVME as well, so should be faster than this 128gb drive

      • garage sale on 05/05/2017 - 07:31

        keep it ….. 128gb ssd is too small especially if you load office365 full suite locally .

  • Tech and cars on 05/05/2017 - 06:28

    I think this is an incredible deal. This laptop will last you indefinitely(for next 5-8 years) until the hardware dies.

    In terms of specs required for everyday users I think we have peaked and anymore is really overkill unless you have specialised applications that require more grunt.

    • garage sale on 05/05/2017 - 07:28

      yeah ….. i upgraded from my 6th gen i5 for the e570 for screen not speed…. already had ssd but wanted FHD

          @CodeXD: So go for the ram?

        • CodeXD on 05/05/2017 - 13:37

          @Tracy Grimshaw: you don't have a choice, if you click through to view models for y520, nothing is customisable and there is only 1 set up

  • zzkazu on 05/05/2017 - 15:06

    With the recently posted 10% code the E570p with (16GB and 1TB 5400 rpm - $300 worth) comes out at $1709.

    Slightly better value.

  • jason andrade on 05/05/2017 - 15:13

    It's a shame they have removed the i5 option as the i7 with the 3Y warranty added after discount now comes up to $1850 (approximately). That's a lot closer to that $2K mark than the $1K or $1.5K thresholds that people seem to be aiming at..

    Albeit for $1.85K you get the i7, 16G of ram, 1T disk plus SSD and 3Y.. (excluding any cashrewards as well)

    • CodeXD on 05/05/2017 - 16:46

      They only removed the i5 on y520 model, i5 e570p is still available

  • zzkazu on 05/05/2017 - 18:29

    Managed to order the E570p with (16GB and 1TB 5400 rpm) for $1614…

    • CodeXD on 05/05/2017 - 18:54

        • zzkazu on 06/05/2017 - 07:08

          @hoftos:
          It was the 1899 version…

          If you are optioning the 1299 version up its $1698 for the i5 and $2098 for the i7. Hence why I used the $1899 offer as base.

  • FabMan on 05/05/2017 - 18:47

    This looks like a great all round laptop, fast CPU, fast GPU and fast storage. Yes there are faster and larger of everything, but this is an awesome sweet spot.

    Though, I'd upgrade the SSD to 256GB SSD PCIe-NVMe OPAL2.0 for a total of $1,269.00. That way your storage is twice as large and faster too. It'll make the system more responsive.

  • kapone on 05/05/2017 - 23:08

    So the way I see this, this is the best gaming laptop I'm likely to see for under $1500 for quite a while. Would I be right in saying that?

    Trying to work out if there's any reason not to pull the trigger on this.

    • garage sale on 06/05/2017 - 05:58

      hard to beat for under $1500 and it will take another internal drive so add a 1tb or 2tb from msy and you can store all your steam games also.

      only better deal for gaming for under $1500 is a desktop….. so depends if you have or need mobility.
