    I never understand people that find 1,65kg weight heavy and give up on going for this great deal? Will you die due to exhaustion when you carry a 1.65 kg laptop instead of a 1.20 kg laptop?

    Unbelievable.

    • aerona on 06/06/2020 - 00:31

      I got a laptop around 1.6kg now.
      Definitely feel the difference between the carbon X6 which is around 1.1kg.

      Same thing can be said between 1.6 - > 2.1kg

      There will always be a market for each category.

      • OrenjiO on 08/06/2020 - 16:15

        10 yrs ago as a High School student I used to carry a >2.5kg E6430 with 90Whr battery to school almost everyday and dear, that was heavy but for the sage of battery life at those days to last.
        I'm not sure why anything under 2kg is heavy, especially if it is in your backbag. Unless you plan to carry 2kg on your arm everywhere and every-hour.
        14" with a weight of under 1.5kg is a sacrify of build quality (rigidness), prove me wrong if you have a durable but light laptop with that size and weight plus reasonable price tag.

        • fuzor on 10/06/2020 - 13:56

          Not the cheapest but I deem reasonable priced. Lenovo Yoga C930/C940. Around 1.35 to 1.38kg and will be the best built laptop you will get. Build quality is right up there with the old MacBook Pros. No flex, no creak, no sound, in fact it doesn't matter how much you press down on the C930, it wont move an inch lol.

    • mingofmongo on 10/06/2020 - 17:45

      My laptop is 2.5kg and I'm happy with that, but my wife has damaged wrists due to rheumatoid arthritis and definitely couldn't carry a 2kg laptop - but manages a 1.3kg one. So while I agree for most people a couple of hundred grams is inconsequential, I also think it doesn't take much imagination to put yourself in the shoes of someone disabled, or elderly, or with an arm amputation, or any number of other things that mean their preference for a lighter laptop isn't just out of wanton laziness.

    Just bought - Amazon said the price was A$959.78 with free expedited Prime shipping (ETA Wed June 24).

    That said, ordered 15 mins ago, and my credit card has not been charged yet…

    • systmworks on 08/06/2020 - 20:15

      Hmmm when I placed my order last night, I already had a $6 Bluray sitting in the shopping cart, and so bought both together.
      My order confirmation email shows both items. My credit card has been charged for the $6 Bluray, but it took several hours after I placed the order.

      I think the Bluray in the same order is why there was no shipping cost shown on my Lenovo tablet order, but also may be why its been held up and my credit card has not been charged yet ?

      Both items say "Postage and packing $0".
      The Lenovo says "Delivery option: Prime Expedited International Delivery"

      • systmworks on 10/06/2020 - 06:39

    Warranty is a big concern

    • xyron on 09/06/2020 - 10:23

      Is it? You're buying through Amazon, you can return it to Amazon if there's an issue with it.

      I've bought hundreds of computers, computer parts, phones and similar gear in the past and I can't remember ever needing to do a warranty claim on anything. People who worry about warranty with cheap electronics need to clutch their pearls a little less tightly.

      • Keraswarl on 09/06/2020 - 10:47

        https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/446883/amp

        Just pointing out what I see. Seems like it's alot of back and forth if there's any issues. Having to send it back in the slim event of an issue and waiting on Amazon would leave them with no device for a while given current logistic issues aswell.

        I'd consider this a budget laptop for the specs it has, but it still is a large purchase for many. Most who have purchased this may rely on it as their main device. But good on you for having a fat wallet to spend on your computer toys

          My experience was quite the opposite.

          Bought an item ship and sold by Amazon US via Amazon AU.

          Its stopped working after using it for a week. Requested a return and a refund.Amazon AU refunded me the full purchased price.They also asked me not to bother to return it to Amazon US but keep/donate/recycle that item.

          I honestly can't think of a better customer service than this.

    The specs are great for the price but the RRP in the US is $599.

    Looking to bite the bullet but just want some clarification if somebody can provide me some. Does anybody know specifically what comes in the box? Or if I will need to worry about charging?

    Got this one for the parents, loaded it last night on a spare AU cable I had lying around that fits with the power brick. Got delivered within 4 business days which was crazy.

    The screen is really vibrant and seems really good in my opinion (might not be good for some who are used to better screens). The processor is very fast and is very snappy, touch screen works great. Bit on the heavier side, but not heavy enough to significantly notice it.

    Awesome value in my opinion, thanks heaps for posting onhunt.

        Changed my mind for more powerful CPU(4700) range or matebook new version. However, when I tried to send it back, I had to cope with the shipping cost to the USA. This morning thought to open it anyway and give it a try, rather worry about shipping and CPU upgrade was not that much of a difference. However, their touchpad is noisy. By noisy I mean, every time you put your finger on the touchpad it makes the click(noise like you clicked). I tried scrolling a mouse and it was constant noise, which was so annoying so nope. Started a new return with faulty mousepad, have to cover the shipping but will be refunded in full. I don't know if it's my laptop only fault or is same in general.

              @4kbargain: Moral of Story: Only buy items that have Global warranty. Having to return to USA would be a absolute pain not to mention the time it will take, In your case you want to change Model so doesn;t count. In warranty situations though, who wants to be without NB or PC for a good month or so each time. Would rather just buy local in case of such issues.

              The other hassle will be warranty. It may well have Global warranty (hope it does) however, USA models can and often do have different parts (not all) eg Wifi, Screen, Mobile modules etc. In turn if one puts in a Warranty claim locally, one can wait due to parts need to be shipped from overseas. I see that a fair bit with client NBs/Devices purchased overseas. Not worth the hassle (in my opinion only).
