  Any tricks to getting a free .edu email these days ? Or it this Student ID based only ?

    If it is just for obtaining access to the Lenovo education site, check out the previous threads. You can PM doweyy to get access.

      Kronky on 15/10/2021 - 22:03

      I tried doweyy way and it gets me in. But then I find that laptop and it’s showing roughly $1250. Any suggestions please

        djkelly69 on 15/10/2021 - 22:31

        Are you sure it's the right one? Showing $1019 for me (although I don't have access through the Doweyy method).

        If you are logged in on a separate tab, and then click the link above, does it still show $1250 or whatever?

          Kronky on 15/10/2021 - 22:44

          @djkelly69: Just tried again. Logged in using doweyy. Then clicked on link. And it asks me for the Lenovo ID and password again :(
          Is there another way to find it once I'm logged in sorry?

          • 

            djkelly69 on 15/10/2021 - 22:51

            @Kronky: Hmm strange, sounds like maybe it is not logging in properly?

            Once logged in, if you go to Laptops, Ideapad, Series 3, then go to the IdeaPad 3 14" AMD page, there should only be two options. One is $789, the other is $1019.

              @djkelly69: Thanks mate. I get $799 and $1214. The $1214 model looks like its it (82KT00MUAU), just wrong price. Thanks anyway. Guess I'll wait for Black Friday sales!

                @Kronky: Yeah that is just the normal Lenovo website.

                Not sure what is wrong but your education login doesn't seem to be working.

  This'd work great for me if it had two SODIMM slots. Anyone got any recommendations?

  Good luck if you ever need any service, the Lenovo customer service team are the worse to deal with. Absolutely painful and moronic experience everytime. Zero care factor

    Dylan McCarthy on 15/10/2021 - 20:03

    I have to disagree. I have dealt with them through the organization I work with quite a bit and they are extremely helpful.

  How the heck 12G ram for a laptop? Why not 16?

    4GB soldered, 8GB upgradeable.
    If it was 8/8 would be steal, still is pretty good

• 

  Hotshot on 15/10/2021 - 21:47

  Approx. $130 for a 16GB SO-DIMM Single Rank chip to upgrade to total of 20GB RAM.

  Ugh why does the 4GB have to be the soldered stick.

    Watanabe1995 on 15/10/2021 - 22:13

    i got the 15" 16GB Ram model, still cheap, just above $1000
    i am not sure it's single ram or 2x8g

      pasuzw on 16/10/2021 - 07:31

      May I ask what the spec look like for the 15" one"?

• 

  Guybrush- Threepwood on 16/10/2021 - 08:48

  I won't get anything that doesn't charge via USB C these days… Too many cords to worry about. Especially when travelling.

  • 

    Wilburre on 16/10/2021 - 13:38

    came here to ask if this one was chargeable by usb c.
    sometimes stuff has a barrel jack but is also optionally chargeable by type c, but i guess with something this powerful it wouldn't be?

• 

  tm32 on 16/10/2021 - 09:38

  What's the delivery time. Still waiting on a progress update from the last EDUCOM deal from early September that was due to be delivered by now for a similar spec.
  Have called and got an unsatisfactory answer which for a sales process doesn't give me much confidence in the servicing side.

  Please suggest how i can get a free edu account, i badly need a laptop for work.Thanks
