    @tightarse - can we get any deal on "Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 1 (2020) AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U" (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/551080) again.

      $1424.25 using JULOVE

      • Boogi on 22/07/2020 - 14:49

        Yeah but their INTRO deal was much better if we can get it back, especially when you want to upgrade few things

        • pomchu on 22/07/2020 - 14:59

          Yeah I know it was cheaper by about $100. Still not bad for those that missed the INTRO deal.

          • TheLurker on 22/07/2020 - 16:46

            @pomchu: As a test I compared Julove to Lenovo Pro (free account with ABN) on a high spec config for T14 and it was $100 cheaper without any coupon $2230 vs $2130). Might be able to find coupons to get it for a better deal again?

            Test config was 4750U, 32GB, 512GB, Touchscreen, fingerprint, backlit key, 3-yr best warranty

          • Boogi on 22/07/2020 - 18:21

            @pomchu: Yes but when you upgrade the memory, hard, discount difference will be more I guess, I might be wrong

    I was given the E14 as a daily driver from work. It’s really robust and works extremely well. I throw it in my draw and desk and carry it everywhere. The battery last long enough and I highly recommend this laptop to anyone. I have used lots of laptops over the years and this ones great!

    Do we have to buy the charger separately?

  • pnt on 22/07/2020 - 14:44

    Would anyone know how this goes when connected to 4k@60hz monitor (via HDMI or via usb-c dongle)? Do you get 4k@60hz? If using usb-c dongle, can you use power delivery at same time? Is it using YCbCr420 (aka chroma subsampling 4:2:0) (not sure you would be even able to tell)?

    • pnt on 26/07/2020 - 22:44

      Fwiw, from my experiments with E495. The HDMI port does 4k@60hz, but uses YCbCr420 (aka chroma subsampling 4:2:0), and in this tests (see test image here: https://www.rtings.com/tv/learn/chroma-subsampling) has a little bit of bluriness in come cases (e.g blue text on red), but seems clear for normal use. HDMI at 4k@30hz seems to not have the chroma-subsampling related bluriness. For usb-c to displayport, does full 4k@60hz (without the chroma subsampling bluriness), but I don't have dongle/dock to see if I could charge at the same time.

    Hey thanks OP, able to replace my near decade-old T430S with this one. Just wondering… can this connect to a dock at my desk? I love the dock my current laptop just plugs straight onto. I want to be able to plug the minimum number of cords into the new one, and have it charge, connect to a screen (aiming for two screens), to Ethernet & to a USB keyboard & mouse. Any advice? None of the accessory options seemed to do all that, but maybe it's not a feature of this type of laptop?

      • Baa on 24/07/2020 - 18:13

        I tend to work with a darker screen at the best of time, but from all the talk here it makes it seem unusable. That certainly looks ok to me.

        Wouldn't be an issue without work 'upgrading' our laptops (from 16gb to 8gb), but find myself in the situation of needing to buy a laptop for personal use for the first time in my life.

  • reg13 on 24/07/2020 - 21:24

  • Shahw on 25/07/2020 - 02:51

    Experts plz guide (which one to buy and why prefer one over the other):

    ThinkPad E14 Gen 2 / 14" FHD / AMD Ryzen 5 4500U / 512GB SSD / 16GB RAM / Backlit / 720p + IR / Fingerprint - Touch Style / Intel AX200 11ax / Integrated 45Wh / 250nits for $967.97

    OR

    IdeaPad Slim 5 14" / 14" FHD / AMD Ryzen 5 4500U / 256GB SSD / 16GB RAM / Backlit / 720p / Fingerprint - Touch Style / Intel AX200 11ax / Integrated 57Wh / 300nits for $999

    Ideally, I'd like to get IdeaPad Slim 5 15" but not sure when is it going to be available again.

    • LiMaaa on 25/07/2020 - 03:23
      +1

      It's preference, you're just asking someone to convince you, it's right there in front of you in the specs?!

      A:
      Double SSD capacity (512GB)
      Infared
      $32 cheaper than B

      B:
      Bigger battery
      Better screen brightness for visibility
      $32 more expensive than A

      I mean you could research weight, warranty ect, in the end it's just choice. Do you need more ssd space? Do you need a better screen? Blue pill or red pill, just decide. ^-^

      • Shahw on 25/07/2020 - 03:28

        thanks for the reply @LiMaaa. You're absolutely right in terms of the specs, but heard a lot of the great quality of Thinkpads and that's why getting a bit confused. And the RRP of Thinkpad is quite high as well and wondering if that's realistic or just a high price tag…

        • LiMaaa on 25/07/2020 - 03:34

          Both products are from the same company, the build quality is likely very similar. One is built toward premium market, the other toward work and productivity. I'm sure if you google you can find user reviews to help you look into user experience and quality, but honestly it's the subtleties that are going to help you make your decision. I doubt someone is going to comment who owns both an ideapad and thinkpad and give you a review rundown. Goodluck with your choice ;)

          • Shahw on 25/07/2020 - 03:37

            @LiMaaa: Thanks @LiMaaa

              @Shahw: I’d go for the bigger SSD and I believe the ThinkPad is aluminium top and bottom not plastic. You should also be able to add a second HD.

  • RFDAU on 25/07/2020 - 23:24

    Hi, would there be any issue adding a 16GB RAM to the soldered 8GB RAM? Thanks!

    • Kontiki on 26/07/2020 - 07:42
      +1

      Yes and no.

      Ideally you want to add the same amount (& speed) of RAM as already present. That will give you dual channel performance.

      Adding 16 will work but both sticks will perform single channel. Personally I'd prefer dual channel 16 GB over single channel 24 GB RAM.

  • Homr on 26/07/2020 - 00:50

    will this be a good desktop replacement?

    • raisinberry777 on 26/07/2020 - 20:55

      Depends on your needs. I got a 4700U/16GB RAM/512GB SSD model as a replacement for my aging i5 2500 desktop.

      My gaming requirements are pretty basic, but for example I've been running CS:GO at 1920 x 1200 on low and it gets about 70fps, Valorant on similar settings is about 110fps. Seems like with more demanding titles I'd be able to take the resolution down to 1280 x 800 and still get playable frame rates. There's some YouTube videos showing Red Dead Redemption 2 running on a 4700U at 30fps with 1280 x 720, so it can handle some pretty intensive titles. Fan is obviously spinning pretty hard when I'm playing but the laptop doesn't get hot to the touch.

      As far as general performance goes it's super snappy for browsing, office work and no issues with video playback.

      The only thing I'd say that holds it back as far as a desktop replacement is that it doesn't have Thunderbolt support - Thunderbolt is a bit better at supporting serious multi-monitor setups (eg 2x 4k monitors). I've got one of these docks on order so hopefully in a week or so I can report on how it works:

      • Homr on 26/07/2020 - 22:00

        Thanks for your response.

        My desktop is currently a i7 4770k, 16gb ram and 1050ti. My laptop is HP 840 g3 I5 6550u

        My current laptop can be hooked up 2 screens by VGA port and Display port.

        I use my current laptop for WFH and desktop for general needs.

        What I play to do is to upgrade to snappy laptop and setup a virtual machine to mirrow my WFH setup.

        I did a check and I have some noticeable light bleed at the bottom of the screen. Otherwise fine with no stuck or bright pixels. I don't think it will bug me on a day to day basis as the Windows taskbar blends it anyway.
