    Wow amazing price :D

  • Tunblor on 12/08/2020 - 10:10

    I dont think the Milspec Testing the L series has over the E justifies the price for a processor that's getting pretting long in the tooth now, there have been some pretty big steps up in the last 18 months, after a bit of cpu stagnation.

    Heres a review. Good thing is the RAM is upgradable to 32GB DDR4 in dual channel, there are 2 sockets. SSD and Wireless card is easily upgradable as well.

        I would doubt that. Snippet from Cash rewards site -
        Apply code TA-HOT-L380 at checkout for discount. Ends 11:59PM AEST 16/08/20, unless sold out or withdrawn prior. This laptop is eligible for 3% cashback. Check all other Lenovo cashback rates here, which can change without notice.

        Would be interesting to see what happens post 2pm.

          LOL! I wrote those terms as right now it's 3% cashback, as it will be after 4pm. Trust me, you'll get 20% cashback on this laptop from 2-4pm today.

              @Bigredkeg: Possible reasons for tracking failure are here. If it was a TA code, you've got nothing to worry about as all sales are attributed to CR. Simply submit a cashback claim via 'contact us' on CR. Cheers.

        Is the max cashback amount per transaction? I.e. can I purchase 2, in separate transactions, and not hit the max cashback amt?

        Edit: Apologies just read the T&CS in more depth
        "Lenovo 20% cashback is valid for 2 hours only from 2pm to 4pm AEST 12/08/20. Cashback is capped at $250 per transaction. Multiple transactions are permitted."

    It wont blow out to 8 weeks like the other stuff right?

    • slackerman on 12/08/2020 - 11:02

      If you are referring to the reported shipping delay of Lenovo Rygen 5 deal few back then I like to inform that it came back to the originally promised time frame i.e. 4-6 weeks.At lease this is what happened in my case, the item is currently sitting with custom somewhere in Sydney, hopefully ready to be delivered in couple of days time.

      • fd9 on 12/08/2020 - 11:05

        Thanks for the reply! The lenovo website and chat guy also said 5-6 day shipping for an X1 - Is it safe to assume these come from Australia in that case???

      • fd9 on 12/08/2020 - 11:06

        And I meant like if it says 2 days shipping time - it will actually leave in 2 days and coming within the 5-7 days right? The 8 weeks was for something that when ordered said 4-6 weeks yea? Thanks!

        • slackerman on 12/08/2020 - 14:53

          yes ships in 2 days means it'll leave the warehouse in two days and then depending on what and how many clearance it needs while in transit, it will finally be delivered after few days of that.
          Again in my case the item is originally sourced in china then DHL took over the delivery part which is quite fast given the current situation.The good part is that you can track it and they do at least a daily update on its status.

          • fd9 on 12/08/2020 - 16:39

            @slackerman: Ah okay. Thanks slackerman for the useful information :)

    • runean on 12/08/2020 - 15:30

      Nope. Go get the E14g2. Cheaper, newer, faster, better screen. Only downside is it's E series, which is 'below L', but that's only arguable in build quality.

    Why the hype?

    • [Deactivated] on 12/08/2020 - 11:25

      $670

      • ln28909 on 12/08/2020 - 12:18

        I'll respond to all three comments here:

        Sure $670 is a pretty good price, but it depends on what you use it on, you need to take into account other factor such as time value of money in addition to monetary value, no point in saving in a few hundreds now, but ending wasting your time due to slower techs.

        Currently the E14 gen 2 (comparable specs) could be had for less than $800 on the Edu store (or similar on the normal store after cashback) (or $839 outright on Student Beans Lenovo store which anyone could access) and it's mostly better new techs so reducing the effect of the price difference

        If we're looking at the upgrade option , the low value proposition diminishes so that shouldn't be considered as a big factor.

        But I guess that's just me

        • [Deactivated] on 12/08/2020 - 12:59
          +2

          It's an 8th gen i5, sure it might be slower than the latest 10th gen but you'd hardly be 'enduring slowness'. Most laptops, even ones that are around $1500 come only with 8gb ram and 256ssd.

          Where are you getting the sub $800 E14? Maybe post a deal then?

          For $670 it's a solid laptop, especially for those on a budget, light users or students.

        • Arthur Dunger on 12/08/2020 - 13:12
          +2

          So to summarise both your comments -

          Why the hype?

          Sure $670 is a pretty good price,

        • plentifoo on 12/08/2020 - 13:44
          +1

          I think for $670, the target market is not gonna be for people looking for latest tech anyway.

          the preposition offered here is not latest and greatest, rather cheapest and most value for money. The price to performance on these machines are unbeatable.

          Edu store is not accessible to everyone, so can't really compare.

    • regenade on 12/08/2020 - 11:27
      +4

      For even $800 you will be hard pressed to even find a similar specced laptop in even months to come, at $670 this is madness

      4 core CPU (8 threads)
      Backlight keybaord
      8GB DDR4 RAM (expandable to 32GB)

    • Merlict on 12/08/2020 - 11:31

      Because you're getting Thinkpad quality, upgradeable everything, lots of ports, USB charging etc

      There's more to a deal than basic specs

      • Stopback on 12/08/2020 - 11:54

        is this one business or business lite quality - the think pad E series is avg in build quality though

        • Merlict on 12/08/2020 - 12:00
          +1

          I'm honestly not sure if this is above the E series, reviews suggest a fair bit of plastic. Both are still way above the HP / Acer crap you usually get at $650 though

              • [Deactivated] on 12/08/2020 - 14:51

                @Homr: Depends on cpu. I recall my last work laptop came with gen 7 intel cpu - dual core. So this one will be much better have 8th gen quad core.

                My current and prev HP elitebook tend to heat up a fair bit.

    Very limited knowledge over here so hoping anyone can give me a pros/cons list of this L380 deal vs the ThinkPad E14 Gen 2 (AMD) mentioned in the original cashback post.

    https://www.lenovo.com/au/en/laptops/thinkpad/thinkpad-edge/…

    Seems only about $100 different in price after cashback so not sure which way to go.

    • JoJoker on 12/08/2020 - 11:52

      Soldered RAM but better processor.

      If you get this I'd recommend configuring to 16GB of RAM because you won't be able to upgrade later.
