        • mrdevil on 11/12/2021 - 14:07

          Good luck trying to ask for additional discount on the Lenovo EDU store. I ordered 5x laptops about a month ago - but before doing so asked one of the online sales reps via the chat about them, and they said "as you're interested in ordering multiples, I'll give you a discount" … only for them to discover they couldn't provide any additional discount on those lines as they're already discounted. If others have had success, then well done… but even our government-department account managers @ Lenovo couldn't match the EDU portal pricing.

    I've bought one of these, but wondering whether this https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/670916 might be a better option for a lad starting high school who's interested in art. Are they comparable other than the screen, and would it be worth the extra $275?

    • bargaino on 11/12/2021 - 12:24

      Definitely not suitable for school IMHO, sorry.
      Anyone doing art will want a 2-in-1 (pref. keyboard folds back or removable) touch-screen with stylus. Actually, I'd recommend that for any schoolkid.

      Also, at 1.9kg this is double the weight of my kids' current laptops. Much too heavy for carrying around all day.
      Bulky 15.6" screen is good for older people, but no use to young eyes, who can just sit closer.

      But for me, going between desks, I'm very tempted. Only problem is the soldered RAM - some of the software I use is horribly bloated, and struggling in 16GB.

    • bargaino on 11/12/2021 - 15:25

      My kid uses her active stylus all the time for artwork on the laptop.

    • shellshocked on 11/12/2021 - 13:24

      There is an equivalent 14" version with similar spec, just not at this great price. Just depends on your needs.

      • Froot Loops on 11/12/2021 - 14:09

        The 14" Flex 5 weights 1.49kg and that's with a full touch glass screen. The 15.6" Flex 5 (again a full touch glass screen), weights 1.99kg. 1.9kg is excessive.

        Even the HP ZBook Studio G8 Workstation 15.6" with 11th gen i9 vPro with an NVIDIA RTX A5000 or GeForce RTX™ 3080 + Either the same specs or better / more (ports, SSD, Ram, Casing, Screen) is still under 4 pounds (~1.8kg)

        I starting to question unless they made, they alloy case out of aluminium + lead, 1.9kg maybe a specs error

  • Froot Loops on 11/12/2021 - 13:50

    I still stand with great deal OP and if OW has made a price error, I hope they honour it to the community. IdeaPad Slim 5 Pro Specs

    Starting at 1.9 kg (seems excessive for a non-glass screen, even with thin stamped Aluminium sheeting), soldered ram, no fingerprint reader (This hurts), No ethernet port, slower USB-C charging @ 95W, than 135W with the Slim Tip.

    Common Lenovo, seems like spending another $10 in production costs (not to mention the savings generated in R&D, but not complicating / removing items) could easily add 10 times that in value to the product. I'm sure even if you only gave 8gb ram to cut costs, but had non-soldered type (old fashion slots), most would still be willing to pay the same $$$ for half the ram but with upgradability.

    Also does anyone know why laptop's still have such shite warranties? A $19 Telstra phone has 2 years.

  • Phoebus on 11/12/2021 - 13:54

    At 1.9kg it's not ideal for school but it's on the lighter side for 16". Otherwise very capable even for older games and great deal.
    For school I suggest waiting for a deal on a 14" laptop at 1-1.4kg

      Just seeing people around university (So 18+), I have made a list of common laptops I see them use. 1.5kg and under seems the perfect weight without backpacking it. Above is fine if you walk less than 500 metres from class to the car, but I couldn't imagine having to be a kid trying to carry these around all day. Also, a point to add that you have missed is to consider the weight of the charger and accessories. I had the Surface Book 1 13.5" and it was manageable as I didn't have to go far. When the UAG case arrived, this tipped the balance and made it a lot heavier. I totally agree you with 1.9kg isn't great for kids and many adults would want to carry it around all day

      Non-Touch
      Macintosh Laptop Pro 14" 1.61kg
      Lenovo X1 Carbon 14" 1.1kg
      Acer swift X 15" 1.49"

        Dell XPS 9310 and HP Spectre x360 are really good choices if budget isn't an issue.

        • Froot Loops on 11/12/2021 - 15:43
          +1

          I agree. I don't see a lot of them anymore in the uni's. XPS are still somewhat common, but x360 seems to have failed to hit the student market (flip/touch) as the Flex's are so well priced and if you want to spend more or get better pen use surfaces kill the comp. My Surface Book 1 with the Performance base cost me $925 delivered via Microsoft student back in the day. Alot of my mates brought them and then just keep upgrading with the surface range.

          Also starting to see these chromebook's more and more. I don't know how they function, but if you live in the google metaverse, they look decent for basic note taking, assessments and the usual videos, zoom etc

            +1

            @Froot Loops: Interesting observations! Cheers for the input. XPS are definitely more frequently sighted and for good reason - they're very well built. Shame that people are overlooking HP laptops, I find them to be more reliable (and more aesthetic) than Dell laptops. Surface Pro 8 looks good, much better than the previous generations which seemed stale to me. Lenovo Yogas seems to be popular as well for 2in1 devices.

            Chromebooks are funny to me, I can't fathom how it can be used besides basic and lightweight tasks (i.e. note taking, browsing, videos, etc.) - especially if you need to run specialised software or heavier productivity tasks. I guess mileage varies from person to person.

              @miinht: I'm keen to see how to Pro 8 works with the pen. I find dell's and their pens aren't great (I had one Jan last year and returned it, as it kept getting confused with my hand). Yoga pretty much = Flex for touch performance, without the price tag.

              I'm gathering people would use the university desktops or borrowable laptops that use windows for "specialised software", like SPSS. I remember when I did stats the software we used (I cannot remember the name of the package, just my dislike for it), didn't run on Macs either at the time.

              I might have another play with a x360 when I'm in JB or OW next. Been a few years since I tried one

            • Phoebus on 11/12/2021 - 22:28

              @miinht: Chromebooks are pretty good. Much more useful than a typical Android tablet. You could even leave your home desktop on and RDP into that if you need more power.

        I brought a Galaxy A21s from OW a while back. When I got there, I showed them on the phone at the 146 price. During the time between I asking and them getting it, the price reverted to 297 and scanned on the POS as such. Luckily I went wandering in the phone area and saw the tag for 146. So I just asked them to honour the store price, the guy even said he just put the price labels out in the morning.

    Just brought it for the hype, cuz I need a new laptop as well.
    Need to wait till end of December for click and collect, but actually not that bad, since I would have time to look for better deals during Boxing day. Probably just cancel the order by then if anything better come up :v

      Just use WiFi hotspot from a mobile, much better solution. If your mobile uses too much battery, carry a portable battery pack. Direct Internet connection with devices gives the age old problem of standard dial-up — you need to be very careful to properly firewall the device as you are directly connected to the Internet. Granted you may be safer with CG-NAT (carrier grade NAT), than with a proper, normal routable IP address…. but still, it's hardly a concern to me not having direct mobile connectivity on a laptop.

    Just found out that it doesn’t have Thunderbolt, I’m so used to 1 cable for external monitor output and charging. Considering cancel the order.

      What's the practical difference between Thundebolt and DisplayPort over USB for connecting only display?

        I've got 2 of them on my NUC but I doubt I will ever use them. Can't think of any use. eGPU? No.

          Well, person mentioned Thunderbolt said that he likes 1 to monitor cable and I think DisplayPort over USB-C can do that, so was wondering what else is there that requires Thunderbolt. I guess more than one display but it's unlikely you can power both over 1 cable.
