Hi,

I'm about to buy the following laptop but wanted to check any advice of a better value before I pull the trigger:

Things I need: 1/ 1080p, 2/ minimum 128gb SSD (prefer 256gb), 3/ i5 7th Gen processor, 4/ battery life 10hrs+

I've spent all day looking around. Any better deals or advice much appreciated.

I want to get one ASAP for this week. So prefer Australian stock.

Cheers

Pookie

Check the E480 which has newer hardware for similar dollars https://www.lenovo.com/au/en/laptops/thinkpad/thinkpad-edge/…

OP-that one you linked to will actually last about 6 hours

iforgotmysocks link will go a lot more - but be quick, black one special ends today, silver one in a few days

:) Thanks oscargamer for noticing the lower battery life of my link :)

I decided to go for the iforgotmysocks suggestion, the black one, I updated the ssd to 256gb for $100 more.

So I got the laptop for $969. I am happy with that, so is my son. Thank you for your advice :)

Cheers

Never heard of Shopback. I am a member of CashRewards, is it the same thing?
