    Is this good?

      Yes had this laptop for 2 months. Been amazing

      • [Deactivated] on 23/11/2021 - 00:30

        Does the 3060 handle the resolution well? Given it's a cut down mobile GPU I wonder if it can handle more than 1080p.

        • twisti on 23/11/2021 - 08:03

          This is one of the best 3060 laptop GPUs you can get due to high TDP of 130W. It will run games at 1080 and 1440 extremely well.

          • [Deactivated] on 23/11/2021 - 08:37

            @twisti: Thanks for the explanation.

    • NueLogic on 23/11/2021 - 00:32

      Depends what you are after, personally I would spec up the Slim 5 Pro 16" . It's a very similar machine and you can score it with 5800H, 16GB DDR4, RTX 3050 4GB and 120Hz QHD 350nit display for $1587.53 with this deal. I'm pretty sure they both have the exact same trackpad & keyboard SKUs

      • skdreams on 25/11/2021 - 16:26

        Slim 5 Pro 16" has soldered RAM, which can't be upgraded

  • dullbeard on 23/11/2021 - 02:14

    Got this recently for my son's school and gaming. Only issue is lasting for school-like hours on battery, even after optimized settings.
    A Baseus 65W power bank didn't cut it, even though 20V/3.25A USB-C meets the spec for charging while on (it did trickle charge while off). Instead you're gonna need a 100W GaN power bank. They aren't easy to find. I recommend the HyperCharger MAX from amazon.com.

  • Yoopy on 23/11/2021 - 09:12

    wasn't the delivery time for this one is like 7 weeks?

    • star chasm on 23/11/2021 - 09:19

      Yup, correct. I can definitely recommend the laptop, but it's only really worth ordering from Lenovo when they show it as in stock, because otherwise any time frame given is an extremely rough estimate and it could well take months to come back in stock.

      • Yoopy on 23/11/2021 - 09:21
        +1

        yeah its a gamble. I think it just depends on how urgent and if the price is worth the wait.

        but the chip shortage sucks, its affecting every company.

        • star chasm on 23/11/2021 - 09:28
          +1

          It's a pretty awful situation right now, I know.

          Personally I don't think the price here is amazing enough to rush in and essentially pre-order.

          The 5800H/3060 Legion 5 Pro was only ~$100 more when it was in stock earlier this month. I bought one and I'm happy with it, but if anyone wants a Black Friday deal that will actually arrive before Christmas, it's probably best to look elsewhere.

          • Yoopy on 23/11/2021 - 09:43
            +1

            @star chasm: yeah, alot of the laptops (popular ones and good ones) are sold out in Australia.

            Until the chips shortage ease, the situations is not looking good. price and delivery time wise.

          • Click_It on 23/11/2021 - 11:34

            @star chasm: Do you think this code is the best we'll get from Lenovo over Black Friday. Seems strange the code isn't simply FRIDAY21 (fwiw I tried that code in a few variations, doesn't exist) :)

            The model I want is the X1 Yoga and customed out it's 7 weeks too. I don't mind waiting 7 weeks as long as that doesn't blow out to months, that's always the gamble.

          • Aidan0098 on 23/11/2021 - 17:59

            @star chasm: I'm keen on this deal but worried that if I get it, it won't arrive before I leave for an overseas trip on Dec 28. Very unsure what I should do right now.

            • star chasm on 24/11/2021 - 09:57

              @Aidan0098: I wish I could tell you for certain! You could try talking to Lenovo via chat. I found them quite helpful when I purchased my laptop.

              • Aidan0098 on 24/11/2021 - 10:00
                +1

                @star chasm: Yeah I ended up speaking to them and they told me it won't come before then… it sucks. I'm not really sure what to do.

  • wh11 on 23/11/2021 - 17:33

    Weird - and annoying - that this is only on the edu store. I wonder if a similar deal is coming for the normal store? (obviously it would probably be a little more with no edu discount, but maybe something around $2000-2100 for the regular store)

    • Dominus on 24/11/2021 - 07:52

      Agreed, I've been wanting to pick up this model for awhile. I'm sure in a previous deal someone had a way to access the education deals without a .edu account

  • edisonAU on 24/11/2021 - 09:31

    The AMD Ryzen™ 7 5800H version is $1996.72, only $79.2 more than Ryzen 5 as original deal. is it worth paying $79.2 more?

    https://www.lenovo.com/au/en/education/laptops/legion-laptop…

    • wodtha on 26/11/2021 - 08:24
      +1

      Extra 2 cores and a 300W charger instead of 230W. I'm willing to pay it $79.20 for that.

      The question is, is it worth paying ANOTHER $528 on top of that (so $2,524.72), to get:
      - an extra 16GB RAM
      - upgrade to RTX 3070 8GB
      - extra 512GB of SSD storage.

      I'm just guesstimating each of those is worth $100, but I haven't followed hardware prices for years.
      Am I under-estimating the value delta of a 3060 to a 3070?

      Penny for your thoughts, anyone?

      • hamishrr on 26/11/2021 - 10:25
        +1

        I ended up customising the 5800H link above to add the 3070, the total cost was $2,304.73.

        I figure the RAM will likely need changing anyway (as per Jarrod'sTech videos), and I can add more storage myself later on down the track, so why pay Lenovo a premium to do it for me?

        • wodtha on 26/11/2021 - 13:58

          Can you tell me a bit more about this please hamishrr?
          I haven't followed hardware tech in years. I'm interested to hear your thought process.

          I see in the customise section that it's $350 more (or $308 actually) to upgrade to a 3070. Is a 3070 really worth that much more?
          I want 32GB of RAM, since I've found my current laptop using up to near 16GB while running my plethora of Chrome tabs and Deswik (CAD software).

      • edisonAU on 26/11/2021 - 16:01

        I decided to get the $2524.72 version because it will ship in early December, rather than more than 2 months away. This will give more plenty of RAM but also HDD storage. I can claim it via tax so decided to bite the bullet this time.

    • zonarhd on 26/11/2021 - 11:03

      Colleague of mine ordered one in this spec. Upgraded the warranty to 1 year on site for an extra $10. Stacked with Lenovo 14% cashback comes to around $1800 after cashback. Not bad for the price…

      • wodtha on 26/11/2021 - 12:19

        Was it Cashrewards or Shopback? Is he sure it worked/tracked? Shopback page says that if the code isn't specifically mentioned (and CYBER21 is not), then we won't get the cash.

        • zonarhd on 26/11/2021 - 12:52

          He just got the tracking confirmation with Shopback. $280. $1720 after cashback for the 5800h model with 3060 is pretty damn good

          • wodtha on 26/11/2021 - 15:31

            @zonarhd: Thank you zonarhd. Do you mind asking him if this is how he navigated to the page? I'm just concerned I might lose tracking.

            Shopback Lenovo section, 'Explore the gaming range with Lenovo Legion now' > "Shop Now" > "Go to Lenovo now!" > "Lenovo Education Store" > "Enter Student Store" > [enter Lenovo ID and password that I just created using my uni email] > "Sign In" > [hold mouse-over "Gaming" menu button, click "LEGION 5 PRO 16" on the pop-up menu] > [scroll across to the $1996.72 option, click "Customise", and continue the checkout process]

            • skdreams on 26/11/2021 - 17:28

              @wodtha: Student store purchases are not eligible for cashback as per SB terms

              • edisonAU on 26/11/2021 - 17:47

                @skdreams: I just used Cashrewards to buy laptop via Education store today. It is now marked as Tracked and is pending. Fingers Crossed.

            • zonarhd on 26/11/2021 - 17:48
              +1

              @wodtha: Pretty much that process. Used the Shopback tool added into Google Chrome and activated it at the login page for the Education Store (tool icon goes green when successfully activated).

  • wodtha on 26/11/2021 - 08:12

    OP I believe you need to fix up the original post. The $1917.52 option is a Ryzen 5 5600H, not a Ryzen 7.

      13% cash rewards as well?

    • Pitzy on 26/11/2021 - 10:50

      That's with the 3050ti GPU, not the 3060..

    • Romper Stomper on 10/12/2021 - 19:56

      I am wondering how much the price difference is between advertised price and educational price, possibly $100 cheaper?
