  • Nice. Cheap SSD upgrade.

    Here are the requirements to get academic pricing:

    • You must be a current or accepted student at an accredited high school, college or university, or
    • You must be the parent or guardian purchasing on behalf of a student at an accredited high school, college or university, or
    • You must be a faculty or staff member of an accredited high school, college or university
    • Purchase Limit of 5 laptops per education customer

    Unfortunately no discount for parents of primary school students :(

    • How they will validate?

      My sis bought a laptop from Lenovo Student Portal - she is a full time student but there was no validation process (if I can recall correctly)

      • they will not validate… got e320 few month ago, after student discount, cashback and gst return, the i3 model cost me like $310 :))

    • Intel 120GB SSD ( upgrade for $39 ) … awesome deal once you get that.

      • Thats awesome . Lenovo or any brand for that matter ususlly charge at least double the going rate for a hard drive upgrade . Maybe the price of SSD's really are about to plummet .

        • actually I think thats now the market rate for the price difference between hdd and ssd anyways.

          320gb = $70
          120gb ssd = 100 (netplus special just below this post)

          lenovo is charging you $9 to install it lol.

    • All of the 'i' range have HD 3000 graphics. i3, i5 & i7. (second gen)

      • uhm no, that's not how it works. For example, see http://ark.intel.com/products/52213/
        Second generation processors have HD 2000 as a base, with the higher-end (e.g. top-end i3, top-end i7) having HD 3000 graphics.
        You are confused with second-generations having a "2" in front of the CPU model number.

    Bought one last year and sold it, could not use the awful trackpad.

    • Not bad once you get used to it.

    • +5

      Real ThinkPad users use that pointy stick thing :)

    • I am so happy to hear someone else had the same issue with the trackpad and sold it off as a result.

      I think it was that purchase which has now made me think about OzBargain inspired purchases rather than impulse buy (so I guess it is a deal that keeps on saving me money).

  • Also, I believe as usual they have the 1$ cases or 85c for the one I looked at.

    edit: "when you purchase ThinkPad Edge E320/ E520 laptops with worth of $599 or more."

    Additionally, I looked at the "e320 enhanced" and the SSD was only 28$ extra :D

    • imho, the "enhanced" is a slightly better deal if you decide for the i5 upgrade. For an identical spec'ed model the enhanced came out 30$ cheaper with a free carry bag. Total: $544
