This is meant to be the successor to the X390 so it's meant to be Lenovo's premium 13 inch ultraportable. Don't think I ever saw the X390 this cheap.

Good 100%sRGB/72% NTSC screen. The 6c/12t Ryzen Pro processor on the base model is plenty fast, considerably faster than than the i7 Intels or the Ryzen 4500U you get in other laptops. Integrated graphics are on par with a NVIDIA MX250 so ok for light GPU work or eSports gaming

Upgrades are cheaper with the code too. RAM is soldered so get as much as you need now. Up to 32GB option available with the Ryzen 7

Don't forget cashback!

      X1 has bigger screen (14" vs 13"), it's thinner, lighter (extra 70 to 200g depending on configuration) with smaller bezels and slightly bigger battery. Backlit keybaord is also standard. AMD cpu in the body of an x1 would be amazing.

    You don't appear to be able to upgrade the ram to a dual channel 16gb, would be a deal breaker for me with these new AMD chips which thrive when utilising a high speed dual channel RAM.

    • Must Buy More on 13/07/2020 - 21:30

      This is already dual channel laptop.

  • Seltox on 13/07/2020 - 11:45

    So close to buying this, but after the massive issues with the Lenovo Thinkpad E485 trying to run Linux (they fixed many issues with bios updates over the years, but waking from suspend is still unreliable) I need to wait for more reviews/info. And not having dual channel memory is honestly a dealbreaker - on a laptop this expensive? Come on, use two chips.

  • Merlict on 13/07/2020 - 11:48

    Man $50 for a backlit keyboard is stingy.

    Love the Thinkpad T series though I still have my T420 from this amazing deal, and trying to find a good replacement for my Yoga 460 (prefer a laptop that can dock with dual 2k/4k, convertible form factor with pen support - maybe the X13 Yoga when that goes on sale)

    Nice laptop but ugh at that left CTRL key location.

    Why can't they just keep a standard layout, or replace the right windows key in an ansi layout with the Fn like most boards do.

      Always been that arrangement for Lenovo. If you think big companies with 300k workforce didn't like it they'd tell Lenovo to change it.

    • avtech on 13/07/2020 - 12:31

      You can change this via the BIOS settings.
      You swap the Fn key with the left Ctrl Key.
      I have had no problems with this simple work-around.

    • frankfu1122 on 13/07/2020 - 15:57

      Actually the placement of the left CTRL key in Lenovo keyboards gives me extra reach when doing key combos. One of the combos I frequent is "CTRL + T" which opens a new tab.

      Had the left CTRL key been further to the left (ie. where the fn key is) then my short pinky and index fingers will be yelling at me each time I open a new tab. Would be my fault for being a tab whore I guess.

          Hmm also the usb connection, this one has

          Easier return (Au vs. Us)

          whilst the flex have 3.1 and 3.0, and idk about the wifi gen, but with bluetooth 4.2, other specs not sure like built quality etc

        • [Deactivated] on 13/07/2020 - 16:27

          Screen, build quality, port selection on this is better. Also AU warranty. And this model is faster 6c/12t vs 6c/6t.

          This is a more premium laptop in general. This laptop doesnt have 360degree rotating hinge like the flex so you can't use it in tablet mode

    • utsc on 13/07/2020 - 13:36

      If you need premium build quality and AU warranty, then I would go with X13 or T14

      If you want the best value for money I would go with Lenovo Flex 5 14" 2-in-1 Laptop given 16GB Ram & Touch

      • nsavi on 14/07/2020 - 22:29

      You'll need to go with the X13 Yoga instead, if you want stylus support. It's not a good experience using a stylus in traditional laptop mode even if it supports it.

    This one or the T14?

    • [Deactivated] on 13/07/2020 - 17:14
      +1

      Depends on your preference.

      This has a smaller screen, is lighter and more compact. The T14 is fatter and has a 14 inch screen.

      Default screen is much better than the T14 but the T14 can be configured with similar quality screens, particularly the 400nit display which is better but has some smearing

      This is cheaper, more-so when you factor in upgrading the T14's screen.

      The T14 has one upgradable memory slot so you can add more memory later whereas you're stuck with whatever you chose now on the X390

      Other than that I don't think there's that many differences. Might be some other smaller differences in configuration.

        • O O on 13/07/2020 - 18:16

        • [Deactivated] on 13/07/2020 - 21:54

          You can spec this up to a 4750U which is similar to a 4800u
          Build quality, screen, keyboard is really nice on thinkpads too. You get a bunch of nice thinkpad stuff like the spill resistant keyboard and the reinforced chassis. This has really nice wifi which the ideapad might not have. You do have to add some extra's to the thinkpad which come standard with ideapads like a backlit keyboard

    OK, I am going to pull the trigger on T14 instead of X13…
    I like X13 more but:

    1, confirmed twice with reps on X13, 8G &16G ram is single ram soldered, so no dual channel. And guess what? 32G is for US version only, not AU version, even you can select it now, your order just won't proceed, again, told rep that I can pay right now with 32G version, and they both said it will not proceed… NO DUAL CHANNEL for AU

    2,I don't think I will spend my money on "Thnikpad" - I want "Thinkpad"; JV, your turn now.

    3, T range is more solid, and there is nothing on the market like it, at this price point.

      all the rest screen options on T14 is low colour coverage, not worth getting at all.

      • nsavi on 14/07/2020 - 22:38

      May/Jun: Finally orderable but with limited parts/options
      Aug/Sep: No update on your order for months then it gets cancelled due to parts unavailability or misconfiguration of order. You give up on custom order, buy a stocked SKU using ebay 20% off code and get it in 24 hours.
      Dec: Actually shippable laptops with all the marketed features back in CES but everybody is now looking at next years line up.

    • id on 14/07/2020 - 09:28

      I bet your bottom dollar the lenovo rep doesn't know what single or dual channel is referring to. Just because its soldered without expansion doesn't mean its single channel. Its highly unlikely to be manufacturing a single & dual config mobo for different regions. Owners on reddit are claiming 16gb models are dual channels. Well at least all had spec it to 16gb or 32gb… pfref guides are identical despite region. Only usa ones u have options for privacy guard.

          yep. But as Lenovos soldered model x13 none upgradable. Its dual. tying to get somebody do to a cpu-z capture to confirm. also decided to get this x13

            @id: Yeah I now the soldered memory won’t be upgradable but I know I won’t be doing that anyway so all fine.
            I did see some screenshots on reddit for the t14 that showed single on a 16gb soldered and dual with 8 soldered and an 8 dimm.
            Would be good to know if the x13 is that same if you can get hold of a screenshot

    How is the build quality of this compared to the E14 from this deal?
    Cheers
