        They had a good sale on them the other week, $1200 off but unfortunately you couldn't customize it. I want to get the 4k screen.

  • walkerxp on 27/02/2020 - 15:02

    Does the $699 price include cash rewards 12% taken off or not?

    • ashftc on 27/02/2020 - 15:12

      $699 is excluding the cash back. Including cash back is $615

      • shoelover on 28/02/2020 - 01:44

        NO, you have to take the GST component off first. then cash back.

    • batrarobin on 27/02/2020 - 15:14

      $699.00 and there is further 12% cashback…so effectively $623.50. Maybe TA can confirm?

    • checkingthisout on 27/02/2020 - 15:26

      $615.12 after 12% off. $699 without.

      Weird: Once configured with TA coupon, it's more, not less than when i started, by $100+AUD

    Lenovo just announced ThinkPads with 4000 series processors, something to keep in mind.

    • Phoebus on 27/02/2020 - 15:42

      Announced is the key word. I think the new intel 10 based ThinkPads will be available shortly, however no word on exactly when the AMD versions will be available.
      The 4000 series should be a nice improvement though if you can wait a couple months.

      • Justcuz on 27/02/2020 - 16:22

        Would be amazing though, 6+ cores and 12+ treads on a laptop? Might be worth getting rid of a computer if your work loads aren't graphic intensive

        • TeddyBear on 27/02/2020 - 16:48

          Availability will definitely take some time, though Lenovo has typically been one of the first companies to adopt new lines of AMD processors in the past. I'm hopeful we'll see 6 - 8 cores in a laptop with very little thermal throttling in a mainstream chasis; sustained performance is often overlooked. We'll see if 7nm can provide it.

        • [Deactivated] on 27/02/2020 - 22:44

          Base model will probably be 6c/6t for AMD or 4c/8t for Intel. Will have to pony up extra for the HT or 8 core options on AMD

      What state do you live? The more niche computer stores have them but the price is way worse.

    • Agret on 28/02/2020 - 01:40

      Go to the closest centrecom super store, they have tons of great value laptops on display.

  • DeepMidWicket on 27/02/2020 - 15:34

    I received mine 3 days back from the previous deal. Great little lappy!

    • psmedley on 27/02/2020 - 15:39

      Agree - if it's in stock, they ship quickly. I ordered 2x E490 on a Saturday afternoon, shipped Monday morning, attempted delivery Wednesday. Any customisation led to an estimated shipping time of 4 weeks.

    • meego on 27/02/2020 - 16:30

      How's the battery life so far?

      • DeepMidWicket on 27/02/2020 - 21:31

        According to the battery stats 8-9 hours but real-life usage around 5 hours…I did some light gaming and it was around 2-3 hours.

        • Usemame on 27/02/2020 - 21:38

          does the temp shoot up crazy while gaming?

          i wouldnt want the fan going nuts although i know this laptop is not for any serious gaming.

    Anyone done any light video editing on these? I'm looking for a device to take with me on holiday in June (for a month) and need something that I can stitch together some videos of my travels while I'm away (during flights, trains, etc). My thought was to get a refurbished iPad Pro 2017 and use LumaFusion (since the iPad has an app for Insta360 R) but if this can do editing in Sony Vegas while not tearing through the battery, this might be a good option.

    • Agret on 28/02/2020 - 01:42

      The APU has great graphics performance but video rendering will probably chew your battery since it's such an intense task. You could do hardware based encoding rather than CPU but the quality will be worse.

  • dplex on 27/02/2020 - 20:20

    This or E14.. any expert opinion

    • RadioBirdman on 28/02/2020 - 10:20

      I purchased an E14 for the nephew last weekend sale $992 delivered. It has i5 10th gen processor, backlit KB, 512GB NVME hard drive and fingerprint reader on the power button. It took 2 working days to get delivered, can't complain about that.
      It's quite fast. After setting it up, I tweaked it a bit to get rid of the Windows 10 bloat. Went from 3.5GB RAM usage to 2.8GB RAM and slightly faster startup.

      I have set up an E595 a few months ago, it has same CPU as E495, it was just as fast as the E14 in my experience.
      Save some money and get the E495.

  • reu on 27/02/2020 - 20:21

    Can anyone comment on the $36 bag Lenovo suggests to pair with the laptop? It's actually a 15.6" bag. TIA

      Not on this specific bag but laptop bags of that style aren't as popular as they used to be 20ish years ago. There are plenty of decent backpacks and satchel bags that include a laptop compartment, but aren't limited to only carry a laptop and charger.

    I bought one of these in the last deal. Absolutely love it. It's a budget laptop so please keep that in mind but for the price, the performance is awesome! Highly recommend adding another stick of RAM to 16GB if you want to do any sort of light gaming on it.

  • reu on 03/03/2020 - 08:08

    Bought on 27th, still no shipping estimate let alone delivery estimate. Lenovo was happy to take my money though.

    I've seen comments for previous deals so I'm not that surprised but still disappointed.

    Surely I deserve an estimated delivery date, even if it's a way off.

    • ozblogger on 03/03/2020 - 15:49

      Same here, interestingly though. I read that they only charge when unit is shipped. Not true I guess

      • reu on 03/03/2020 - 20:52

        Delivery: somehow my order is marked as custom so delivery is delayed. It's not customised!

        Charge: actually I've only been charged for the case as that has been shipped. I haven't been charged for the e495 yet. My mistake.

    If I had knowned this I would not have ordered one.
    Last time I bought from Dell it arrived in 3 days from date of ordering

      I feel for you I'm in the same boat. Ordered 27/2, expected to ship 7/4 and ETA 20/4. It's poor form, does my warranty commence on the order date or arrival date?

    • Gracey on 11/03/2020 - 13:07

      @tightarse Has a connection of some sort with Lenovo, i'm sure he will pass on the frustrations and hopefully next time there's information of some sort in the OP regarding delivery times.

      I also grabbed one for our business as we have a laptop on its last legs, and wont be receiving it until the 20th of April.
