    OP. any chance the e495 deal is also making a comeback? i had to cancel my previous order after realising the code was not successfully accepted and was charged the amount pre discount.

  • Hug of death or wrong link?

    Getting a 500 page error.

    • Working fine here. Flush your cache or try incognito?

        Yeah just tried again and pops up saying "The product you are looking for is no longer available, here is a suggested alternative.", but sends me on to the right link.

        Cheers for the deal mate.

    Hi TA,

    Possible to get deals on the Legion/gaming laptops pls?

  • Just got mine from the last order. Need to upgrade the disk to 500+ gb. Is it hard to replace on this model? Any recommendations on which hdd to buy?

    • +1

      Very easy to do. This video shows you how to remove the bottom and the SATA HDD at the 5:25 mark. The laptop in the video is the previous model but it'll still be the same.

      If you're willing to spend a little bit extra perhaps get a 2.5" 500GB-1TB SSD? E.g. this or this.

      • Thanks. What’s the benefits of getting a 2.5” instead of m.2 ? Do you mean get the 2.5” and sell the m2?

        • -1

          The laptop has both M.2 and SATA. M.2 is a lot faster than SATA.

          • +2

            @Clear: No it isn't.

            M.2 is just the form factor.
            (It's actually the specification for internally mounted expansion cards and associated connectors.)

            M.2 drives can come in SATA versions and NVMe versions, which describes the bus they use to communicate with the other PC components.

            SATA M.2 SSD drives and 2.5” SATA SSDs operate at virtually identical speeds because they use the same communication bus.

            NVMe M.2’s on the other hand, definitely do not as they use the PCI-E bus.

            • +3

              @spaceflight: There is always a Sheldon in every post. The M.2 in this laptop as I said is faster.

                Thanks.
                I agree with the third definition. Especially the part that says

                Thee most amazing guy you will ever talk to. Knows what he want's from life and gives really good advice
                https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Sheldon&amp=…

                Now.

                The M.2 in this laptop as I said is faster.

                No what you said is

                The laptop has both M.2 and SATA

                Which it does, but these are connection types.

                And

                M.2 is a lot faster than SATA.

                Which is incorrect and can confuse someone asking what’s the benefits of getting a 2.5” instead of m.2.

                Especially when they already have the laptop so they are not looking at the 256GB SSD M.2 PCIe option (which is also less than the 500+ GB they want). They want to upgrade what they already have.

                I would have expected more than misleading advice and pretty negs from a store rep.

        • 2.5" is cheaper but slower.

          • +2

            @lostn: A 2.5" SSD will be the same speed as a SATA M.2 drive.

                • -1

                  @Clear: Yeah when people take things out of context and change the subject by incorrectly telling someone that "M.2 is a lot faster than SATA" when they have asked how to buy a new HDD to upgrade the HDD in their existing laptop and then trying to justify misleading them by saying that you were taking about the dive that the laptop in this deal is sent with will do that.

                  • @spaceflight: The context starts at joshua's comment and we were specifically talking about the SATA and M.2 in his laptop. My statement that the M.2 is faster is correct in the context of his laptop as it's NVMe as per the specifications.

                    Instead you pulled a Sheldon by twisting it into 'M.2 in general is faster than SATA' when that was not the case for the reasons you mentioned: M.2 SATA and M.2 PCIe.

                    But that's me done here so I'll just move on. I hope you can do the same.

                    • -2

                      @Clear:

                      My statement that the M.2 is faster is correct in the context of his laptop.

                      No it's not.

                      M.2 is just a specification.

                      M.2 can support both sata and nvme.

                      What happens when Joshua goes and buys a sata m.2 drive? It might work in the laptop if it also supports sata m.2 drives.
                      Or it won't work and Joshua has wasted money on an incompatible dive.

                      Instead you pulled a Sheldon by twisting it into 'M.2 in general is faster than SATA'

                      That's what you said.
                      And remember that Sheldon's give really good advice.

                      "The laptop has both M.2 and SATA. M.2 is a lot faster than SATA."

                      I corrected you so that Joshua doesn't buy the wrong drive.

                      M.2 is not faster than sata.
                      PCI-E m.2 is faster than sata.
                      You didn't say that so someone who does not know much about competes could buy the wrong or incompatible dive. That's why I corrected you, I don't know why you are so upset that I tried to stop someone buying the wrong thing!

                      Accusing me of trolling (edit I see you took that it while I was writing a reply) just shows you aren't willing to accept that you could have mislead people.

                          @Clear: And?

                          The dive that the laptop in this deal comes with is irrelevant to someone who wants to upgrade the disk to 500+ gb and also wants to know if it is hard to replace on this model. Do you think that maybe they do not know there are different types of M.2 drives?

                          Saying M.2 is faster is still wrong. M.2 is the specification and plug, it doesn't set the speed.

                          It's the same as saying SATA is faster because a SATA SSD is faster than a SATA mechanical HDD.

                          • @spaceflight: M.2 in his laptop is faster.

                            • -1

                              @Clear: What you meant to say was.

                              The M.2 drive currently in his laptop is faster than a SATA SSD or SATA M.2 drive.

                              • @spaceflight: Correct.

                                • @Clear: But you didn't, and that's why I corrected you.

                                  Why you got upset, took offence and resorted to name calling makes no sense.

                                  The community should expect and be given more than that from a store rep.

                                    @spaceflight: No one here is upset. Your approach to it was unnecessary.

                                    I'm not a declared Store Rep anywhere nor is it related to this in any shape or form.

                                    • @Clear: People usually resort to name calling when they are upset.

                                      So correcting someone who provides misleading information to someone who appears to not know much about that particular topic while also explaining to help make things easier to understand is unnecessary?

  • Also got this as part of the last deal - ripper laptop!

    But having trouble connecting a monitor to the hdmi port, have tried everything ive searched on google and to no avail - anyone got any ideas?

    • What exactly happens when you connect the monitor to the HDMI port?

      • It an older VGA monitor which i am using an adapter, nothing happens, it cant detect the monitor at all.

        I've updated all the drivers and still nothing…
        :(

        Could be the adapter, as the cable is fine when i used it on a different laptop.

        Have purchased a new DVI-D to HDMI cable so hopefully that works…

        • Yeah fair enough. Does the adaptor work with any other computers or monitors? If not maybe the problem is it's an adaptor and not a converter.

        • +2

          A lot of newer gpus don’t support vga anymore. Desktop gpus haven’t for years now.

        • VGA: analog
          DVI-I: integrated, combines digital and analog in the same connector
          DVI-D: digital
          DVI-A: analog
          HDMI: digital

          You can't go from HDMI (digital) to VGA (analog) without an active adapter (something that translates a digital signal into an analog signal).

          Since DVI-I has both digital and analog it can be turned into VGA or HDMI.

          Hope this helps ^^

    • +1

      Have you tried updating the graphics drivers? Not the ones from Lenovo, but directly from AMD itself.

      Otherwise, try a different HDMI cable (this may sound ridiculously simple, but when previously i was building a new computer, i couldn't get the monitor to work and thought it could be adapter or need new monitor, turned out to be the cable. The connector looks new and fine and i just didn't think of it).

      • Thanks for the feed-back guys!

  • Need a y740 deal please! :D

  • Could anyone smarter than me please confirm if I can upgrade/insert more ram myself and run dual channel?

    • +1

      (not really smarter than anyone here, but just happened that I've read previous comments/manual before =) )
      You can upgrade and run dual channel, although refer to the manual (of which the link is also in previous deal posts), since to open the access of the components had been more "hassle-y" due to the nee design of the E49x and E59x series.

    • I've done so for mine that I bought last week.

      DDR4 2400Mhz max (CPU doesn't support more).

      I bought 2 x 2666Mhz sticks as it was the same price on Newegg and it is recognized as 2400Mhz by the laptop.

      It actually comes with an 8GB 2666Mhz stick.

    Although I feel like at some point, Lenovo should just make this and the E495 deal a long-running deal exclusive to you/CashRewards 😂 🤣

  • I bought it during last deal. I added a 8gb ram and a Samsung 1tb 2.5" ssd. Both are working well.

    • +1

      How's the screen/keyboard/battery life?

      • Screen and keyboard are good, but battery power drains fast.

        • How fast from full when browsing with lots Chrome's?

  • Buy another 8GB stick of RAM from your local PC shop for ~$80 and chuck in a 2.5" 2TB HDD or 500GB SSD in the spare drive bay for another ~$80 and you've got yourself a stronger performer for ~$860 after cashback.

    • This won't void the warranty? (Just checking)

      • +1

        No, as long as you don't break anything. You're simply adding in 2 extra pieces of hardware into spare slots designed to take that hardware. You're not modifying any existing hardware.
        Even if there's a "warranty void" sticker covering one of the screws this does not in itself void warranty, it simply lets them know you've opened it up so they will look extra hard for anything that's been damaged.

        • +1

          They used to reject warranty claims if stickers have been tampered with. I used to work at a distributor and it was the first thing we had to inspect.

          But a ruling in a US court recently made that illegal. I am not sure if that applies in the land of Oz though. If someone knows for sure, please confirm if it is the same here.

          • +1

            @lostn: ACCC law overrides any company policy. It is not reasonable to throw out warranty just because someone opened up the cover and added another stick of RAM. I would fight this very hard if they tried that one on me.
            Unlike the US, we don't need to spell everything out to the Nth degree. There is a large degree of "reasonable" logic applied in ACCC decision making. Hence why they do not specify what a "reasonable" warranty duration should even be.

            • @Viper8: Thank you viper8 and lostn. Awesome replies.

            • @Viper8:

              Well in the case of a laptop, they would never put a seal to forbid you from opening it to upgrade the RAM.

              It would be mainly for devices like a console or mechanical HDD.

          • +1

            @lostn: I recall something about those warranty stickers not being enforceable in Australia. Just because a company does it, doesn't make it legal.

  • is it really an 8 week wait?

    • I ordered mine on 30 June and I'm told it will be here by 17th July.

      • I placed an order on for the $777 offer on June 16 for delivery start of July, then was AFK for a few weeks. Start of July when I'd received nothing I checked the order status online, and to my surprise, the order had been cancelled the next day! Lenovo say the order was cancelled by them, but can't say why, nor why I didn't get an email about it.

        I placed another order on July 8 for $759. Computer arrived July 31, and I immediately bought another 8Gb of RAM. Very happy with it, it runs Linux well, and battery life is much better than I expected.

    • Got one last deal a few weeks ago. 5 days wait only.

      • I ordered mine on the 19th and it arrived on the 1st.

  • any one know if this has a backlit keyboard? (nothing in specs)

    looking at a model for home use - web browsing, video conferencing, photo gallery, document prep, basic tasks and kids destroying it, this would have to be a decent deal at $750 or less yeah?

    current comp is a 5yrs old dying dell i5 which is struggling to even boot, and my HP g5 lappy is unfortunately work issue who dont take kindly to piracy so need something in between for home use.

    • Chuck a SSD in the Dell.

    • Keyboard is not backlit

      It's a very good laptop for this price. There is also the E495 which has the same specifications but a 14" screen and should be a little cheaper if/when it goes on sale.

  • Is there a way to swap out the ssd and retain the OS?

    • +1

      Create backup media with the preinstalled Lenovo backup and recovery app.

      Swap out the HDD, boot the media you just created and restore factory image.

    • Why would you though? There is a slot for a second drive if you need more storage.

  • Got one of these the last time it was posted battery life is pretty terrible, at best 3 hours watching a 1080P movie from a USB and i was running it into a TV so the screen was off! also i have noticed that the WIFI coming out of sleep mode takes a while to connect back up.

    • AMD CPUs are not good at power management when idle (meaning not under load). Unless you're a gamer or do a lot of encoding, most of your work is going to be at idle. Intel have a lot more experience with this and have it down to a science, so on average Intel laptops have better battery life than AMD.

      Additionally, this unit has a 45Wh battery compared to an XPS 15 97Wh. The Thinkpad E series would be comparable to the Dell Inspiron series, which also have smaller batteries but are design to have expandable 2.5" HDD bay.

      • Do you have a source for that statement about powe management? I'm not very knowledgeable on the laptop CPU scene. Do you know how the integrated graphics compare as well?

        I think I'll wait for a 15.6in version of last week's E490/495, with the dGPU and larger storage.

        • +1

          Everyone who's used them can tell you this. Check reddit.

          AMD have not been a major player in the laptop market historically. It's been mainly Intel and for some years they were really your only option. This is beginning to change now, but Intel have been in the game a lot longer and do power management better.

          Unless you need like a source that fit for the bibliography of your thesis.

          I don't know how the iGPU compares, sorry. I think it's disappointing to have an iGPU in a 15" laptop that isn't particularly thin. But for this price, you take what you can get.

  • My 495 got delivered on Thursday. Worked fine first day, second day it's busted. Seems to be a screen issue because I'm seeing some faint outlines after booting. Possibly just bad luck but seems dodgey.

  • -4

    Not good deal and also, I wouldn't trust AMD CPU performance and this E series laptop is known for frequent failure, better wait for T series deal.

  • I got one last time which had pretty severe coil whine when on battery. I requested a replacement which took about 3 weeks. The replacement has coil whine both when plugged in and on battery.

    Sending it back again and requesting a refund.

  • I couldn't see anything in the comments regarding this (maybe I didn't look hard enough)

    If I "Customise" my purchase will it invalidate the cashback?
    e.g. Higher Spec CPU or Win Pro
