    A few of my colleagues actually use the X1 Carbon series and they're very good for the price. Far more premium and sturdy than Lenovo's cheaper range for a fraction of the weight. Also the battery is seriously impressive! Lenovo say up to 15.5 and I've easily got 11 hours out of it.

    Ticks all the boxes imo as it also has an M.2 SSD with the option of NVMe, 2x Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) and Rapid Charge.

      I'm using this one for my job every day and it's simply the best laptop I ever had.
      Very powerful, very lightweight and has every feature I could ask for.

      I simply use Edge browser. Google Chrome is my daily driver and I open up Edge (with no extensions installed) for CR. Never fails.

        I do something similar too. My daily driver is Chrome, which is heavily locked down with AdBlock, Disconnect, etc.
        I have a completely separate Chrome Canary installation, whos only extension is the Cashrewards Notifier, all Cookies enabled, and the Homepage is cashrewards.com.au.
        Works perfectly. I reckon having a separate browser purely for CR purchases is the way to go.

    The X1 Carbon G5 is listed as $1679 on Lenovo's website.

    A final price of $1171.75, down from an initial price of $1679, is a saving of $507.25, or 30.21%. Absolutely incredible.

    Thanks TA.

    • PlagueistheCheap on 29/05/2018 - 10:46

      I can see the $1555 promo on CR but when the Lenovo site loads it only shows $1899. I'm on mobile so I think that is something to do with it.

      Edit: figured it out. Yes, that was the problem…

    • Entropy Sky on 29/05/2018 - 10:47

    Those are not good specs at all for $1555. You need to stack it with a current Lenovo deal for it to be worth it.

    • Quant on 29/05/2018 - 12:08

    Great deal. I ended up getting the Gen 6 on their sale page (Base model) which was already $300 off.
    Ended up customizing it up to the i7 8550u, 16gb ram and 256gb SSD.
    Final price post Cashrewards and Amex will be $1769.3!!
    Couldn't pass it up for 32% off RRP

    • Store Reptightarse @ Cashrewards on 29/05/2018 - 17:32

      Hi bypeng. The reason your cashback may still be pending is if your purchase was an 'untracked' claim. Without knowing the full specifics I can't comment further, but just so you know, more sales get attributed to OzBargain than they do to Cashrewards due to last click as explained in OP. Happy to look into this for you if you ping me your CR email address. Thanks.

      Hi Rebs. We have not been given the green light to promote the premium store via Cashrewards, so on that front the answer is no to cashback. Having said that, we are in constant discussion with Lenovo and I'll definitely make it known there's a requirement from members to have it on board. Stay tuned :)

  • spk-chelsea on 29/05/2018 - 21:06

    What do you guys think of ThinkPad E480. Its on sale for $829. With cashrewards would be $715.
    This is i5-8250U, 14.0" FHD IPS, 8GB DDR4, 128GB Solid State Drive
    https://www3.lenovo.com/au/en/laptops/thinkpad/thinkpad-edge…

    I am also considering, Asus Vivobook F510UA, FHD IPS, Intel Core i5-8250U, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD $683.92 AUD.
    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/373379

    Its predominantly for home use. May be 30% work use, where i might run some VMs which are RAM intensive.
    Might have to buy a 256GB SSD for both and if I run in RAM issues, might have to stick in 16GB RAM on both.

    E480 seems to have some fan issues and finger print issues from earlier posts.
    I am not sure about Asus warranty support.

    I am leaning towards Asus as it is marginally cheaper and looks cooler. I have an X1 Carbon from work, so would be a bit of variety for me. :)

    • Ninja9 on 29/05/2018 - 22:02

      What do you think of X1 Carbon?

      E480 $829 may not be able to claim cashreward as it has code, so might want to confirm before purchase.

      • spk-chelsea on 29/05/2018 - 22:07

    • worldwidehappiness on 30/05/2018 - 00:56

      15% cashback might not work with E480 because it needs a coupon code (EOFY18) to get it to $829 and Cashrewards says:

      "Cashback may not be payable if you use a coupon code that is not listed on this site."

          Checked with op on this. He wasn't sure. We don't key in the coupon. It is listed with the discount. He said it might work. We could probably cancel order if cash rewards was not picked.

        • Ninja9 on 30/05/2018 - 15:21

          829 good value as can add 16gb ram for additional 100 without having to upgrade the cpu. Add 256gb ssd total 1034 still a good value for the specs. and bonus if cashreward works.

          I was looking at e480 during the day yesterday and it didn’t have the code until later in the evening. Base model was 999 or 1019. and by the time up the cpu to unlock 16gb ram and add 256gb ssd it was over 1300. Not enough to claim the 150 Amex.

          Wonder if it cost anything to cancel my x1 carbon and order an e480 instead?

        • worldwidehappiness on 30/05/2018 - 17:31

          @Aussie88: Be careful with the $999 base one as it's HD not FHD.

          Carbon would be better quality and lighter, but if it's Gen 5, then it has older dual core CPU.

          Personally, I wouldn't pay much over $1,000 for an E series. YMMV.

          If you go by the Cash Rewards wording, then it would seem the $829 deal might not qualify because you have to click the Lenovo coupon to get the $829.

          "Cashback may not be payable if you use a coupon code that is not listed on this site."

      $1292 - $176 ($1116) currently

      Note you can opt for 128GB SSD now though and pay ~$1030, but I think the majority of us would rather pay $14 extra for the extra 128GB.

          SSD + RAM upgrade ($260 worth after CB) and it's $35 cheaper.

    Anyone here ordered last week with customised specs which takes 2-3 weeks lead time to ship? Lenovo says they don’t charge me until shipment is ready which is scheduled to be in another week. I noticed that the initial pending charge on my Amex has disappeared and upon ringing them they said that the charge to moved from pending to an ‘approved’ status pending processing by the merchant and explained that it may drop off if the merchant does not process the charge in 5 days. Wondering what others experience in similar situation and if I should be concerned…

    • truth000 on 08/06/2018 - 11:28

      Same here. Disappeared from pending and yet in posted. However I think it used the limit of the card in prior so that could charge you without limit problem when shipping? My order was shipped yesterday will let you know when they charge my card.

        Thanks truth000, mine is still to be shipped and the limit hold has even disappeared as I noticed my available credit has gone back up by the Order amount. Lenovo seems to think they will still be able to put through the charge when they ship. My fingers are crossed.

          Same here, nothing on the Amex card although I got an email with a tax invoice stating it is paid fully by credit card. Invoice date is same as date of shipping. I'm expecting it shows on the card on Monday. Will comment here then.
