    Is it too late to return?

    Which one is better?

      That old tech. WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2 is the new tech. As with technology you can't never wait.

      • papafox on 02/07/2020 - 13:18

        WiFi 6E is only a proposal and the standard hasn't been finalised yet. I don't think anyone is offering kit supporting 6E yet, and in any case there is a good chance it wouldn't work with the final version of the standard.

    • Cisco123 on 31/05/2020 - 08:21

      Only matters if all other devices you own are already on 802.11ax (wifi 6) and you need very high throughput. Trust me, for most users 802.11n is more than enough

      • edfoo on 31/05/2020 - 10:00

        Agree. Unless you are already running 802.11ax home/office WiFi network or planning to upgrade your home/office WiFi network to that, then you won't benefit from having 802.11ax WiFi in this laptop.

      • t3m on 31/05/2020 - 12:26

        I get what you mean. But with so many affordable WiFi6 devices already out on the market, why settle for old tech? Other Lenovo Ryzen 4500 ultrabook already come with WiFi6, not sure why this model still on 802.11ac. Regardless WiFi6 is backward compatible, and it's future proof for now.

        • MuddyClear on 04/06/2020 - 20:22

    • Chicken feed on 30/05/2020 - 23:45

      • shellshocked on 31/05/2020 - 07:02
        +2

        As mention before the 4500u provides performance roughly between an i7-8565U and Core i7-10710U. Where an application takes advantage of six physical cores, the 4500u will have an advantage.

      Yeah I'm tossing up between this and the ideapad with the 4800u.

      Anyone, going from a normal laptop to a touch screen, do you find the touch screen a must have now?

      Also correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty certain that this deal has a better processor and is cheaper than the Lenovo yoga. Just aesthetics.

      • Merlict on 31/05/2020 - 01:59

        I've had both and feel a touch screen is really over rated, unless you're going to use a stylus for art etc.

      • Deviner on 31/05/2020 - 02:00
        +2

        I've gone back and forth.
        I had a Flex from the US a few years ago and loved the touchscreen.
        Then got a Xiaomi Mibook with no touchscreen and eventually forgot all about it.
        Then had a Surface and loved it again.
        Now using a brand new Inspiron for work with touchscreen and I've not touched the screen once.

        If you've greasy fingers like me, touchscreen is more trouble than it's worth for standard laptops (spend half the time cleaning it).

        For 2in1 types like this, I think it's pretty handy as you can flip the keyboard right under the screen and use as a tablet so the touchscreen is crucial.
        Really good for travelling and especially on planes on the little tray I found.

      • nonpop on 31/05/2020 - 08:47

        Touchscreen for myself and wifey is a must Surprised at how useful (convenient) it can become.

      • quikstix on 31/05/2020 - 10:01

        My personal laptop is a non touch and my work laptop is touch.. can confirm i wish my personal laptop was a touch screen and will be upgrading soon to one.

      • Jec on 31/05/2020 - 11:42

        I use my touchscreen for playing piano (set it up like sheet music), but outside of that I honestly can't say I really use it. Sometimes easier for tapping things than with a mouse though?
        To answer your question, certainly not a "must have". Just a nice bonus.

      • KonkyDong on 01/06/2020 - 00:09

    • shellshocked on 31/05/2020 - 07:05

      CPU wise the 4800u is 8 cores and 16 threads vs the Intel with 4 cores and 8 threads. AMD will definitely will have the performance advantage.

  • beesider on 31/05/2020 - 17:43

    Careful. This one doesn't support USB-C displays and has only HDMI 1.4b port which means you can't hook up a 4k display to it.

    Previous E495/E595 do support USB-C DisplayPort so it's strange they removed it from this model.

    • squanchy on 01/06/2020 - 10:11

      Wondering this myself. From all I could find was the International Warranty Service policy (https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/ht074528), but only applies when Australia starts selling this model, though it still remains quite vague and suggests that you need to have physically bought the product whilst traveling in the US.
      My instincts tell me that only the Amazon 30 day warranty would apply.

    • John Doh on 04/06/2020 - 20:04

      The only thing I see better in the MBP 13 is the storage. Otherwise this is better than the top speced MBP 13. Also you get 14" screen and touch which is a plus. 1K AUD vs 2K AUD needs no introduction :) Just read some reviews for any known issues before you pull the trigger.

  • [Deactivated] on 04/06/2020 - 16:15

    Wouldn't it be good if you could just buy the hardware, and attach 12 inch 15inch or 17inch screen to the laptop, I mean the hardware isn't the problem, even laptops of 2014 are still top notch, it's how you interact with the device with sheer number of fixed laptops or notebooks I certainly would love to see innovation.

    Phone manufacturers are now trying to adopt folderble phones(but the question is, do you want that, when the sales pitch is? The consumer is always right, but the consumer has no idea what they want until it's put forth to them.) I have never seen a expensive laptop do what the surface pro can do but in reverse.

    • John Doh on 04/06/2020 - 19:59

      If only laptops came with standard motherboards (like ATX) that was user replaceable it would have been nice.
