    If only it could be configured with a touchscreen. :(

    • Cartman2530 on 15/02/2020 - 18:44

      Very true, once you use a laptop with a touchscreen you can't go back to a regular laptop that doesn't have one. Decent specs though on the E14 for the price despite that.

        What? I despise touchscreens on laptops. For starters, it makes the whole thing heavier because you need a digitiser on top of your LCD panel. Then you have to deal with the smudges and gorilla arm. Unless the touchscreen is kitted out for stylus usage for multimedia production applications, it's often an unused gimmick that is easily surpassed by a mouse in terms of user input. The only reason I ever suggest a touchsreen is when you need pen input.

          For starters, it makes the whole thing heavier because you need a digitiser on top of your LCD panel.

          Not sure about you, but a mere ~90g isn't a big deal to me when the laptop weighs 1,690g.

          Then you have to deal with the smudges and gorilla arm.

          Oh no, how can anybody deal with using tablets and phones?

          Unless the touchscreen is kitted out for stylus usage for multimedia production applications, it's often an unused gimmick that is easily surpassed by a mouse in terms of user input.

          Evidently you haven't discovered how much quicker a touchscreen can be when it comes to certain user inputs, compared to a mouse or touchpad. Some power users find it much quicker to simply tap an on-screen element rather than move their hands from the keyboard to the touchpad or mouse, moving the cursor to the element, then clicking.

          But that's the beauty of the PC platform. Not everything has to be made just to suit one person's preferences. If you despise, or don't know or don't want to know how to take advantage of touchscreens, you don't have to buy a laptop with one. Meanwhile people who have realised that touchscreens aren't an 'often unused gimmick' will go for models that do have them.

          Its actually really easy to flick through web pages when you have a touch screen on a laptop, and heavy? the digitiser barely adds 10-20 grams…

          instead of moving the mouse to do anything you just tap, so easy, great for CAD when you are browsing through the menu ribbon and selecting options with one hand and orienting the part with a mouse with the other, very productive when you get the hang of it.

          Have to disagree, I would never buy a laptop/convertible without out a touch screen. Every time I try and fix stuff for friends with no touch screen I end up flicking and selecting stuff all the time on screen because it's just the best way to navigate much of the stuff I do.

      It's a rebranded rx550. Pretty mediocre, the Vega 8/10 are almost just as fast

    • Jimbuscus on 19/02/2020 - 02:07

    Does anyone have some information on battery life? How long does it last under normal use (using Wi-Fi for browsing the net, watching youtube or playing movies (stored on the local HDD) etc at medium brightness, no gaming and some word processing). Will it comfortably last over 5 hrs or more?

      Probably; notebook check tested the ThinBook 15 with a 10th gen CPU and a 45 Wh battery and got 6h 46m in their WiFi test and 7h on their local video test.

  • wetsandwich on 14/02/2020 - 15:37

    Pretty meh. High CPU and SSD (great), but low ram and not really a gaming worthy graphics card.
    Any old thing with a 1060 would be better for gaming at the same price point, and any 16gb ram machine better for productivity.

    • bigmanlukaku on 14/02/2020 - 15:46

      the e495 got a good reception and this appears to be an upgrade in most regards for another 100 dollars. The body is plastic though

      Probably to do with whats happening in China.

      • dingdong3000 on 14/02/2020 - 18:07

        Hence why it defeats the purpose of getting one now, if you need it within 2-3 weeks

  • zrmx on 14/02/2020 - 16:36

    Good amount of discount for a relatively "new" E-series machine, especially if you need to go Intel for the WiFi or whatever other requirements as reasons.

    However looking at the spec of the discrete GPU and what the i7-10510U is (4 cores 14nm+++ part, not much performance difference i.e. not much of an upgrade if you've got a 14nm+ or 14nm++ part), the Ryzen 4000 series Mobile APU will be at a much better value package proposition to this. Although I sincerely hope the Ryzen platform won't be sharing the same motherboard design, considering this only has one SO-DIMM slot.

  • DardyMate on 14/02/2020 - 19:44

    This is actually a good deal. Ended up with the X390 though. Needing to replace the E595 as it's too big for my use.

      • brendongl on 14/02/2020 - 23:59

    • robertm on 15/02/2020 - 13:13

      I'd be concerned at the max screen brightness of only 250 nits on the Lenovo. Also, the swapped ctrl and FN key would trigger OCD! ;-)

        I see. I have a X1C6 myself which can swap ctrl and FN. Need a few for my bro-in-law's business but I'm under the impression that this one is likely to have better build quality than Inspiron/Vostro. I've used Latitude/Precision at work and can really say I wouldn't buy one with my own money.

  • Just Invest on 14/02/2020 - 22:28

    I had this for a month and returned it as DOA due to keyboard backlit failure.

    Please avoid this product as the screen is way below avg quality.

    It feels like an old TFT screen where the white saturation is too much.

  • brendongl on 14/02/2020 - 23:56

    I thought i had the same model (from the boxing day deals) as its i7 10th gen e14, but mine isn't backlit keyboard?

    They really need to have more obvious model numbers.

  • ifuggedxyz on 15/02/2020 - 00:16

    The bigger screen E15 vs E595 - which one is the better laptop?

    • hubbadeba on 15/02/2020 - 06:57
      +1

      I'm asking myself that question too - basically Intel 10th gen vs. last gen Ryzen.
      However E595 has 2 memory slots so can do dual channel configuration for better performance to CPU and GPU. Maybe the AMD integrated graphics better than intel 10th gen one.

      Downside is the E15 dropped the extra memory slot and only has 1 DIMMM.
      However E15 also is slightly thinner by ~2mm, backlit keyboard, keyboard is now bottomed out (some say disadvantage) and has WiFi 6. But is $300 more than the last AMD deal for $727 for the E595

    I posted a deal ThinkPad E14 - i5-10210U, 8GB/256GB SSD, 14" FHD IPS Anti-Glare, Intel AX201 $935 Delivered and was considered "lukewarm deal" with only 20 votes.
    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/516794

    There was various upgrade options with discounts applied to the upgrade. For an example After the discount
    1) upgrade to an 10th Gen i7-10510U was only $104 Extra
    2) 512 SSD and 16 GB Ram was only $133 Extra

    In summary, ThinkPad E14, 14" IPS Display, 10th Gen i7-10510U CPU / 512GB SSD / 16 GB RAM, Backlit KB but with Intel UHD Graphics was $1172 But received Only 20 up votes.

    It is important to note that in the current deal, the Cost of upgrading the RAM from 8 GB to 16 GB is $125 as discounts are not offered on upgrades

    Thee above analysis clearly demonstrates that the number of up votes received is directly correlated to the individual who is posting the deal rather than the actual deal itself.

      Are "up votes" something that's important to you?

        I hope you are not offended by my above post.
        No, up-votes are not important to me as I have the product knowledge to properly vet the deal.

        However, I know people who don't know much about computers and depend on the unbiased votes to make their purchase decisions. Unbiased voting serves a very useful purpose and that's why it's given importance and displayed prominently.

        Going back to the main topic, if you happen to disagree with my analysis in the previous post it would be helpful for everyone to know the reasons behind it.
