    Not bad not bad.

    Waiting for 5600u and 5800u which don't seem to have hit any model of any brand yet.

    I see with the Yoga Slim 7 Pro Lenovo has gone with 90hz and Dolby vision screens. I'm going to wait a few years cos everything even in low range will go high refresh rate.

  • seraphim2017 on 14/04/2021 - 20:47

    Is this the first ryzen 5000 series available here? Specs look better than a lot of the deals recently such as the $999 nitro but is this 2.5x faster?

    Plus. 1 year warranty?!?!?!? Isn't the Legion their top line for gaming laptops?

    • brimmy11 on 14/04/2021 - 20:51

      Not even close to 2.5x faster. Probably like 1.75x faster.

      The 30 series laptop GPU's aren't even close to their desktop counterparts, even more so than prior generations.

      • seraphim2017 on 14/04/2021 - 20:58

        Do you have to go RTX for raytracing/Minecraft?

        Would a laptop 2060 be aasdive step down from this 3060?

        • brimmy11 on 14/04/2021 - 21:56

          You probably need at least a 2070 or 3060 to use raytracing. The 2060 isn’t very capable for raytracing.

        • ChadHominem on 14/04/2021 - 22:13

          Raytracing isn’t quite there yet. Go for the best or wait for better performance and more adoption

  • HeyHi on 14/04/2021 - 20:49

    Does it support Thunderbolt?

    • OnlineShopper123 on 14/04/2021 - 21:39

      No cuz it has a Ryzen chip

      • incipient on 15/04/2021 - 03:03
        +2

        Technically it could have supported usb4/TB3, and ryzen chips will in the future, but your conclusion is correct - no thunderbolt on this.

  • BennyHe2018 on 14/04/2021 - 20:49

    Decent price for a monster laptop with good thermal and screen. I guess it is not eligible for cashback?

    • eggboi on 14/04/2021 - 21:23

      Correct. From cashrewards site:

      “ Purchases made through Lenovo's student store, staff discounts, corporate deals, and negotiated offers (phone/email/chat) are ineligible for cashback”

      • soupratt on 15/04/2021 - 11:26

        Weird as I got a Cashback note saying that I was eligible for $80 after purchased it. It might not fully go through later but it was logged as cashback.

        • eggboi on 15/04/2021 - 15:43

          Noice! Always worth clicking through regardless, but also good not to factor cashback into the purchase decision. We all know rationalisation is a superpower found in all true ozbargainers 😉

      Same thoughts. 3070 130w qhd screen 500 nits

      And Legion 5

      I'm praying for 1999 rough figure for mid year 🤞

        Not to mention it’s a 16:10 16” screen, so quite a bit more real estate than 15.6” 16:9. Larger v-fov in games and also better for non-gaming stuff.

    is student needs this spec of laptop? um…

    • SilverGhoul on 15/04/2021 - 07:59

      Not unless gaming

      • xoom on 15/04/2021 - 09:31

        What about students doing multimedia course?

        • Jackman117 on 15/04/2021 - 14:31

          I do a digital media course so animation 2D, 3D, Web development and video editing and 3d image rendering all on a 1650, i5 9300h, 8gb ram 512gb ssd laptop, it runs okay not the best and slow at times but it gets the job done. So the specs of the laptop on this post are perfect. 8 core ryzen vs my 4 core i5. An rtx 3070 vs my on its way to lowest end still on the market 1650. And 4 times the amount of ram I'd say this'd do the job for sure and then some.

  • NimNim on 14/04/2021 - 22:55

    Does that mean they could sell 3060 model for $2000 or below?

    • DASHCAM NOW DUDE on 14/04/2021 - 23:15

      Yes, there has been a few 3060 laptops for under $2000.

      EG.
      https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/599735

      • eggboi on 14/04/2021 - 23:40

        Not the same thing. That one you linked is “max-Q” variant, so about 80w gpu power (stunted). This one goes up to 130w.

        Then there’s lower res screen which is also physically smaller, half ram, half ssd, lower vram, piddly 48wh battery.

        • NimNim on 15/04/2021 - 00:08

          Yep, that's right. I'm taking about the Legion one with 3060, currently it's $2600.

          • eggboi on 15/04/2021 - 00:20

            @NimNim: But then you linked a FAR inferior laptop as an example for sub $2k pricing, which is not a relevant comparison

        • Brrrrt on 15/04/2021 - 11:39

          Actually, this is not true. Since Nvidia got rid of the maxp/maxq branding, there is very little difference between the laptop 3060 cards now.

          All rtx 3060(laptop) cards have at least 80w tdp, with an additional 15w from dynamic boost. The last 35w are what is now called 'CTDP' which can be changed by the manufacturer. The gigabyte g5 have 80w base+10w ctdp+15w DB, whilst the new legions have 80w base+35w ctdp+15w DB. The only difference between them is the vbios which is interchangable between all rtx 3060 variants.

          Its the rtx3070 and 3080 laptop variants that still have a difference, the one with 1750 mhz base clocks can all be flashed to the 150w+15w DB variant but ones with 1500mhz can not use the high ctdp vbios.

          As long as you make sure the laptop have decent cooling and the charger can provide the power, all 3060 laptops and most 3070, 3080 laptops can be 'max-p'. And this is certainly true with the Gigabyte model, sure, it takes a bit more effort, but its also much cheaper and as far as gaming is concerned the 10500h is perfectly capable with 6 cores 12 threads.

  • danknewen on 15/04/2021 - 03:22

    damnit I bought this same model at 2.5k with less RAM and SSD storage. Gonna try to see if I can get it refunded(hasn't been shipped yet) and buy this new deal instead.

      If the uni lecture hall I been in is anything to go by. I'm sure many can get away with it.

      • Agret on 15/04/2021 - 09:58

        At uni nobody will stop you goofing off but a lot of students won't make it to the final year of the course

        • xoom on 15/04/2021 - 11:11

          Well these people end up playing themselves as the uni won't care if they fail as they already paid their tuition.

  • pkjames on 15/04/2021 - 06:55

    awesome, was eyeing this exact model. Ordered!

  • LlamaFace on 15/04/2021 - 09:43

    Huge thank you for this OP. I had ordered the Asus 2021 Strix laptop from JB Hifi a few weeks at $2500 but was then emailed and told it was no longer being stocked. This is a more powerful device at a lower price!

    • MikeWhitneysHair on 15/04/2021 - 09:50

      In case you haven't bought from Lenovo before, they're not known for expedient shipping

      • LlamaFace on 15/04/2021 - 09:59

        "Shipping late April" is basically what I was told by JB and I ordered from them nearly a fortnight ago. Happy to wait a couple of weeks for a deal like this :)

  • nateid03 on 15/04/2021 - 09:47

    Offer no longer listing the specific configuration - looks like they're sold out. Shame: was very close to grabbing one

  • Bigmaxy on 15/04/2021 - 10:10

    Was ready to contact the chat to see if I could cancel my existing order and go with this one but as mentioned above. Looks like it is no longer available.

  • coxymla on 15/04/2021 - 10:36

    Sounds like a price error; I was checking out this model on the student store last week and it was straight 5% off the standard price.

    (Edit: I just logged into the education store and now they are 0% off the standard prices!)

    • shellshocked on 15/04/2021 - 11:22

      Very unlikely a pricing error. I have posted multiple deals where there has been a huge price difference between the regular Lenovo online store and the education store. Look up my previous posts.

  • Cral42 on 15/04/2021 - 10:50

  • pkjames on 15/04/2021 - 11:23

    Glad that I pulled the trigger last night, as I thought it would probably go OOS soon. This exact model has been OOS in China from day 1

    Deal is back on for those that are interested - slightly more expensive but back in stock. Just ordered one with a late April ETA

    • coxymla on 21/04/2021 - 21:26

      Did you get it for $2799?

    • mella060 on 22/04/2021 - 02:12

      So the deal is back on? When I try to register it says I need to use an email from a school or uni etc. Guessing I need to ring the number and do it that way?

      To be fair though, $3279 is not a bad price considering what you are getting.

  • bbnmb on 22/04/2021 - 00:10

    A deal is on, can confirm, but not as good as the edu store one. See if you can get some extras thrown in.
    Frustrated about my chat with first rep who reneged on their initial offer.
    Me: I'd like to order this model, what is the best price?
    Rep: Wait while i check the price.
    Me: OK.
    Rep: I can do it for this great price! (a bit more than the edu special)
    Me: great, please place the order.
    Rep: Wait, let me check that price.
    Rep: Sorry, I made a mistake, I can't give it to you for that price!

  • coxymla on 22/04/2021 - 10:23

    Has anyone seen the 300W power brick available for purchase anywhere?

    Has anyone played with iGPU mode?
    Is it a proper hybrid mode with MUX? The BIOS option makes it sound like it disables the Geforce and runs solely off the Vega8.

      Laptop is available if you have access to the education page.

  • Canberralad92 on 07/06/2021 - 15:47

    This guy saying he just got it for 2249. Was that on education store? The reps have no idea what laptop I'm talking about even lol.

    The model on the education store right now is the 5800H, RTX 3060, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, instant price $2339, so I suspect that's the model that you can obtain through live chat for $2249
