    With the same spec's about $162 cheaper going through Lenovo's educational/Student.

  • If customised, the estimated delivery would change to 4-8 weeks

    • Otherwise?

      • +3

        Otherwise 3 months ;)

        • :) Have been hearing a lot on their delivery commitments

  • Hmm my price for those components is $1202, how did you get that price?

    • You need to enter the ecoupon to get it down to the price. I ordered the same spec one from the education store for $1004.

      • Oh right, I'm blind haha. I am on mobile completely missed that.

  • It is strange, my price is 1047.02 after entered the ecoupon…..

    • That's the price for 8gb ram and 256gb ssd. Cost $859 through education store.

    Only problem with it is 45 NTSC

    • And the shipping haha

    • What does 45 NTSC mean?

      • Colour reproduction compare to actual colour. For more information do google or wiki. Must for designers.

  • If only the screen size was smaller :(

    • There's way better deals for smaller ones.

  • Nice screen size, I will use it mainly at home to watch movies and surf internet. Not sure about playing games like civilization though

    • This screen only has 2/3 as much colour gamut as a regular screen. Everything will look dull and grey. Playing demanding titles will also be tough on an iGPU, even an AMD one.

    Never any $1k~ laptops with dedicated graphics card. Ugh!

    BEWARE of the shipping time. Order if you are happy to wait about 3 months.

    • Not a bad deal for <1.2k.

      I ordered our ideapad slim last month on the 20/07 thru Education portal. It indicated 8 weeks for the package to arrive, but I received the laptop on the 17/07 - So almost a month after ordering.

      Also, Lenovo emailed me that they cannot process deliveries with "parcel collect" addresses as they send their parcels thru Expeditors + DHL (not sure the mechanics behind this). They told me this a day after my order went thru so my order was stuffed up. Lenovo had not updated my parcel delivery address and, so added +4 days to the delivery coz DHL did not attempt to call or contact me.

      Pretty happy with the IdeaPad Slim 5(15) Ryzen 7 so far.

        So you ordered on 20/07 and got it delivered on 17/07! ;-)

        • +1

          haha good pickup, my bad, 20/06. I need a coffee now.

  • How is the battery life of this laptop ?

    • Battery is crap…even brand new, it last around 3h max…useless if u have a long day school.

    • For long battery go for intel i3 i5 u series.

      • AMD 4000 gets better battery life than i3/i5

    • The E495 I have lasts ~3-5 hours. This one has a much more efficient CPU, maybe 5-7 hours.

  • 250 nits screen.

  • Total Memory : 8GB Soldered DDR4-3200 + 8GB SO-DIMM DDR4-3200

    I wonder if this actually runs in dual channel or not….

    • Yeah it does :-)

      • What about if you plan to upgrade the ram later on, do you need the exact same type of ram or will any ddr4-3200 ram work in dual channel?

        • I wouldnt recommend adding more than the 8GB. If you say add an extra stick of 16GB, only 8GB will be dual channel and the other 8 will be single.
          Also like you said, it has to be same type of ram/timings etc

    Does my head in how they keep using really average webcam's in these otherwise great laptops.

  • How do you purchase and get it shipped from China? In an another post, few people were recommending to buy it from website like Taobao where you can save another $100-150.

    • Yeah but then what about Warranty. If it is not covered by Lenovo here in Oz, is it worth the saving of $100?

  • I purchased lenovo early to mid June and its delivered last week.
    I am not sure why people so concern with waiting time
    To be fair, their email saying it will be 6-8 weeks until its delivered, however it turns out to be a lot quicker than that

    • You are just one of the lucky ones.
      I ordered mine on 18 June with the delivery scheduled for 3-6 July. But then they changed it to 21 September. I contacted them and they said that there is a shortage of spare parts. I sent them several emails but they won't care less and kept giving me formal answers that if I don't want to wait I can cancel my order. When I persisted they offered me another laptop for the price I paid but with the lower specs and where I would also lose 11% cash back. So I just cancelled the order.
      Will never order anything from Lenovo again.

  • Great deal, a brighter monitor would be nice though.

  • how quick is AMD comparing to intel i5?

    I used to own an AMD A9-9420 3.0-3.6G with SSD, they are even slower than a i3-2330m (only 2.2G) for daily use.

    Looks like there is a new coupon JULOVE brings this spec down to $1002

  • i have recently recieved a new E15 gen 2 model. Now I recognized that the right side from my bezel (the edge around the laptop) is lose. The left side is fine, but when I press on the right side, you hear a clicking noise.

    Is there someone here who has the same problem or same laptop without this problem? Maybe this is a normal case but I don't think it's normal.

    Hopefully you guys can help me :).

      I checked mine, seems ok. No loose parts. You need call support or something to check what is wrong. The laptop is a finger print magnet though. Also using AMD Vari-Bright does help with the brightness. I ordered on the 14th and got the laptop on the 29th July.

      • thanks for your information, man. Have you use your finger to slightly put to the bezel?… you may hear the small sound like some plastic parts hit together. i think it is quite difficult to realize that but make me annoying.
        interm of the brightness, i decided to turn off the Vari-Bright option to maximize the brightness when I uncharge the laptop.

          Checked there is no bezel issue on mine, seems one of the clips might not been put properly. Remind me of the days when i used diy my laptop by changing the thermals and not putting back the clips properly. It is still under warranty, you should get it checked
