    Very nice! Just not sure about the 2GB graphics card… It seems to be unique - there are no benchmarks for a 2GB version of the 1050Ti.

    • XeKToReX on 27/06/2017 - 19:49

      You'd be struggling to push 1080p with 2GB VRAM :/

      • kapone on 27/06/2017 - 21:49

        The issue is less about resolution, and more about texture sizes. I can run games at 1080p fine, but on some games I have to have the texture detail on medium. Many newer games give an estimate of VRAM use on the settings screen, which makes finding the sweet spot much easier.

        • XeKToReX on 27/06/2017 - 22:16

          True, I was on the same path, I feel like the 1050ti would be bottlenecked as far as IQ goes by 2GB

    • sloshie on 27/06/2017 - 20:00

      Bought this from the previous deal. Haven't tried too many games so far, but plays BF1 at med-high settings just fine.

      • thelastnoob on 27/06/2017 - 20:31

        what is 'just fine'? are you running healthy 30fps or 60fps???

        • CharityCase on 27/06/2017 - 22:38

          I got 50-60 fps at "automatic" settings

        How many Sol/s can you get mining Zcash with this 1050ti? I'm guessing it'd be around 150?

    • scrimshaw on 27/06/2017 - 20:06

      I have this laptop, plays overwatch at high settings at 60fps. I haven't tested other games though, got no time.

      The Realtek wireless NIC is not very good though, drop-outs in gaming is common and I think it would be better to have a Intel-based wireless card.

      • [Deactivated] on 27/06/2017 - 21:34

        I was having the same problem with drop outs. Try setting the adapter's bandwidth setting to 20MHz only.

        • scrimshaw on 28/06/2017 - 01:26

          Oooh, that works. Thanks for the tip.

      • Unrvl on 27/06/2017 - 22:06

        hmmm id think a 1050 ti would play overwatch on 100+ fps. my 1050 non ti plays overwatch at over 100fps on 1440p res

    • pizzip on 28/06/2017 - 00:01

      It should be pretty similar to a 2GB 770 in performance.

    Extra warranty is usually a gimmick that takes away from real savings. Consumer Law is your best friend.

      This. If it's going to break due to fault of the manufacturer you'd think it would do so within the 2 year statutory period.

      • Wally on 27/06/2017 - 20:55

        "2 year statutory period"

        Thought 12 months was the legislated period for warranty

        • Mr Kite on 27/06/2017 - 21:53
          +3

          There is no set time period for the "statutory warranty". The time period depends on the type of product, the cost and other circumstances. For example, you would not reasonable expect a $3,000 fridge too fail after two years, but you might expect a $50 microwave not to last that long.

        What 2 year statutory period? Where in the ACL does it state this?

          Ooops my bad. I'm out of date on this. Comments above are correct. There is no defined period, rather it is as Mr KIte suggested above.

          Here's a good summary.

          http://www.abc.net.au/news/2011-06-07/broken-but-out-of-warr…

          I had 2 years stuck in my head as I went to Apple with a faulty adapter a while ago. Despite the 12 month stated warranty, the non-Apple shop advised that they honour the warranty up to 2 years without any issues, despite the stated 12 month period. Thanks for correcting!

  • Phoebus on 27/06/2017 - 20:14

    2GB ram shouldn't be much of an issue playing at FHD. But it would if you connected a 2k or 4k monitor

    • Zondor on 27/06/2017 - 21:00

      FHD is 1920x1080 which is 2k

      • PCHammond on 27/06/2017 - 21:03

        Can see why you'd think this. 1920 = 2k.
        These marketing terms are so annoying.

        • TrueshotGG on 27/06/2017 - 21:33

          2K is 2048x1080 and the term is only used for cinema projection.

          Yep, my bad

        • Skramit on 28/06/2017 - 09:14
          +1

          No, most specs and marketing refers to the height pixel count not the width. 1920x1080 is not 2k in common speak.

          Sure maybe 2k is a cinema projection term but certainly not in our digital world.

          HD TVs 1920x1080 are most certainly not referred to as 2k.

          2560x1440 monitors are referred to as 2k.

        • idonotknowwhy on 28/06/2017 - 09:32

          @Skramit: Then why is 4k (3840 pixels × 2160) not 2k (2160p)?

          1920 x 1080
          ~ 2k x 1k
          (Marketing calls it 1080p, not 2k)

          3840 x 2160
          ~ 4k x 2k
          (Marketing bs calls it 4k, not 2160p)

          There also this marketing bs:
          720p = HD
          1080p = FHD (Full HD)
          4k = UHD (Ultra HD)

          To make matters worse, I've heard lay people refer too 2,560 x 1,440 as "2k" lol

          @idonotknowwhy:

          I can't explain it. I'm agreeing with you in many respects…. the marketing terms are all wack.

          I was more just poitning out that in 99% of the world, 1920x1080 is not referred to as 2k, it's called Full HD. lol

          2K, for whatever reason, is usually 2560x1440.

          shrug

        • idonotknowwhy on 28/06/2017 - 10:24

          @Skramit:

          it's called HD.

          It's also called Full HD ;)

    Can't consider this a deal with only 128GB storage. Is the SSD at least user upgradable?

    HQ CPU is nice (four physical cores, rather than a dual core with HT), but it doesn't make up for the pathetic storage.

    • wetsandwich on 27/06/2017 - 20:38

      I have a different thinkpad and it comes with a M.2 256gb you can change over if you want. Plus a spot for a 2.5" as well. This one would have to be similar.

    • CleverCounter on 27/06/2017 - 21:09

      I agree, it's a strange configuration. Who wants to upgrade something brand new?

    • kapone on 27/06/2017 - 21:53

      Adding in an extra HDD or SSD is piss easy. Remove 4 screws to get the cover off, 1 screw that secures the HDD mount and unplug a cable. Then just go in reverse.

      The disk doesn't need any screws, there's a rubber U-shaped bracket that wraps around the disk and holds it in place (with tiny studs that line up with the screw holes).

    • bassiveguitar on 28/06/2017 - 08:13

      I had same concern with last deal, Scotty's reply indicated that you can add 2nd larger SSD - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/4716325/redir

  • Other on 27/06/2017 - 21:28

    I am thinking about getting a 17inch with a gtx1060 for $1600 instead…. (includes 1TB HDD). Is the extra $400 worth it?

    • albert0pia on 27/06/2017 - 21:49

      I'd say yes so long as the HDD is a 7200rpm one. Got a link to said laptop?

    • scrimshaw on 27/06/2017 - 21:51
      +1

      Well the GTX 1060 much faster. Up to 50 percent gains in performance over the 1050 Ti.

      if you play games and you want your laptop to last another 2-3 years in terms of keeping up with gaming, yes the $400 is worth it.

    • Fiximol on 27/06/2017 - 22:50

      Just remember there is a price to pay with heat management/fan noise and battery life with a higher powered gfx.

  • belbo on 27/06/2017 - 23:34

    I'm thinking of buying a laptop before 30 June. Haven't bought one for many years. More of a desktop person - usually build my own. I'm interested and would really appreciate responses as to why this deal is so much more popular than this one (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/315569) for the Dell i7 twice the RAM and SSD capacity for the same price? Is it because people are mostly interested in gaming on laptops and upvote based on gaming suitability ?

    • YasimKudomi on 27/06/2017 - 23:53

      Obviously! ……personally, I prefer Dell. Lenovo E is entry level. It follows by L and T. I like T series but they are more expansive. If you are looking for a desktop replacement. I would definitely go for the Dell's deal. Dell XPS is top if you have the money. Having said that, both are very good notebooks around a thousand mark! You can't go wrong either way.

      • belbo on 28/06/2017 - 00:15

        Thanks for the input. Makes sense.

        • scrimshaw on 28/06/2017 - 01:36

          You might want to note that specific Dell is equipped with a Core i7-7500U. The letter U in the CPU model indicates the processor is Ultra low voltage and is a CPU that was meant for maximum power savings, so it only has two physical cores with Hyperthreading enabled.

          While this one is a i5-7300HQ. HQ means H igher performance, Q uad core which is 4 CPU cores, with Hyperthreading disabled.

          Here's a comparison between two laptops running the mentioned CPU's. There's no almost no perceivable differece in single core performance, but a very wide gap in multi-core scores.
          https://browser.primatelabs.com/v4/cpu/compare/3123336?basel…

          This performance gain doesn't mean much for the average user who's work is mostly single-threaded stuff. if you all you do is run a web browser and do general officework, I would buy whatever laptop gives you the best typing (and trackpad) experience, the best warranty service, the better build quality etc.

          If you do video encoding, video editing, Photoshop, gaming or other forms of content creation, you should buy the Lenovo.

          Dell with the U CPU also give you 67% more energy efficient, meaning the battery last longer. It also has "Touch Screen" and "Infrared camera".

      People can easily buy extra RAM and storage with the E570p but you can't upgrade the GPU on the Dell. That's probably why deals on gaming laptops are popular on OzBargain.

    • idonotknowwhy on 28/06/2017 - 15:50

      The Lenovo has a nipple, the Dell does not.

  • Skids andy on 28/06/2017 - 10:59

    Can anyone compare these to a dell Inspiron 15 5000? As in build quality and accessibility for he's upgrades etc

    • scrimshaw on 28/06/2017 - 12:21
      +1

      The lenovo loses the DVD drive in favor of a slightly bigger battery (47 whr versus 43 whr)
      it also has dual drive bays, one of which is M.2 NVME and the other is a regular SATA for 2.5" drives.

      The power brick is a lot heavier than the Dell's because it supplies much more juice, so if you are travelling this Lenovo is probably not the best choice. Stick with E470 or go with Inspiron 3000 series. (although I'd personally prefer a Latitude from the Doutlet)
