I need to upgrade my old i5-6600k/RX580 desktop, but don't really need a laptop. Anyone able to recommend a desktop equivalent of these specs, or this price?

    Sure - all they'd need to do is replace some minor bits like motherboard, CPU, GPU, RAM, power supply…
- Yuri Lowell on 30/05/2022 - 18:03
  
  If you can DIY: 5500 <$200 and a 6600 for $400 would be comparable. That leaves you $400 to get 16GB DDR4, case, mobo, 500GB m.2, PSU which should be doable albeit on the cheaper end.
  - RangaWal on 30/05/2022 - 18:26
    
    thanks - however this build also doesn't provide the portability of a laptop. I was wondering if a comparable desktop could be built much cheaper but it doesn't seem likely.
    
    Unfortunately this laptop doesn't have USB 3.2 Gen 2, which is a bit of a deal-breaker. Deciding whether to cancel my order.

      You won't get anything like this for under $1000. If you can stretch the budget to $1200+ then I would grab a techfast PC with a 3060 Ti or 3070.

Added benefit is you could easily sell second hand for the same price (if not more) if you change your mind.

I bit the bullet and got one. Irresistible at this price. Was psyching myself up to pay 3k for a 3080 laptop, as I prepare to re-enter the gaming sphere after a 3 year hiatus thanks to study and work, but this is going to be a very reasonable contender that will get me going. I can put that 2k towards something later. Just a phenomenal price.
- shabaka on 30/05/2022 - 16:25
  
  there's not much benefit in getting 3080 over 3070 in mobile world.

Does the order show up under your account after you submit it?

I tried to pay by PayPal and on submit the Lenovo site says "PayPal isn't available right now". There is a transaction for $999 on my PayPal account but nothing under my "Orders".

      I called Lenovo, it's still not sorted out yet, but if the Pending transactions just expire off, it will be ok as there is currently no hold on funds for the amounts pending on the linked credit card. In the end I just used credit card payment to buy the laptop and it went through ok.

So I got one for my son. He wanted a budget laptop for school work and occasional casual gaming - so I think this one fits the bill. Are there any potential upgrades in terms of RAM anyone would recommend with this laptop down the track? (i.e. if I'm upgrading RAM do I need to add another 16GB and if so, is there a specific type of DDR4 I need?) And is there provision for another SSD or upgrade to the SSD in this one?

I bought a 3k Lenovo legion 7i 2021 laptop with, 11800H intel, 3080 16gb vram GPU and I’m getting worse performance than a desktop 3050. Unstable and crashing while gaming, and this is the top of the line laptops from Lenovo.

I managed to get 13k score on 3Dmark timespy graphics benchmark with full memory overclock. 50fps on cyberpunk ultra settings with ray tracing at 2k resolution. Disappointing.

Would advise against their lower tier gaming laptops as they are bound to have issues arise after purchase and are a pain to get a refund or support.

    Up to about 6hrs for productivity due to the iGPU. You will probably get about 1hr if your try to game on battery if your lucky with the 3060.

OMG, it says the full price on the receipt!

    It says a voucher of $1230, the same as you'd get using a gift voucher. Don't know why I'm getting downvoted for being savvy on a bargain website, but go figure. If it were cashback, you'd salary package the full price, so its no worse. Clear conscience, nothing to do with morals lol.

  how does this work?
  - M0RGAN on 30/05/2022 - 18:44
    
    If your employer allows it (i.e. government), you can salary package this laptop, or if you use it for work, tax deduct it and get back an amount equal to your marginal tax rate. This deal involves a coupon code worth >55% of the full price, so at a 45% marginal tax rate, the laptop is essentially free.

        @ppdogs: Mate, there's literally a voucher code in the description.
        
        Do you know how salary packaging works? You submit a claim with a receipt. If the receipt has the full price on it, you claim the full price. If you couldn't include vouchers, that would screw over anyone using gift vouchers. Discounts no, vouchers/cashback yes.
        
        ppdogs on 31/05/2022 - 14:07

        @ppdogs: Haha, no worries :) I admit, some people might see it as exploiting a loophole (hence the downvotes) but the way I see it, I would've claimed the same amount if I paid full price. I'm basically getting the savings that I spent the time looking for myself (in voucher form and not just a discount/sale), rather than sharing them with taxpayers.
        
        We'll see what the tax invoice says, maybe I'll eat my words, but its always worked from past experience (just not on this scale lol).
