    16gb of ram with a 2.5k 90hz screen. Sub 1kg. Specs look amazing. Would just check battery life and what ports you need.

    • JJtoTheRadio on 21/03/2023 - 12:54

      Would look at HP Pavillion 14 plus: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/747288

      Will be in stock somewhere im sure.

        Similar-ish, yeah. You're definitely paying a lot for the sub 1kg weight (the hp is 1.4kg). $820 for that laptop was also a steal haha

        Yes the price is great but quality between HP and Lenovo is not comparable. I'd only resort to hp if it's very heavily discounted.

            @fenric: I'm on my 4th HP laptop at my job. The previous 3 have all been complete trash. Those ones were probooks and elitebooks. The elitebook especially is the single worst laptop I've ever used. It's unbelievably awful. We moved to deploying HP Omen's for people who need high powered laptops now and I almost can't believe I'm saying this but it's actually not bad. The world of business laptops is messed up

            • mantichoral on 21/03/2023 - 21:37

              @Benno123: my latest work HP Elitebook had halfheight cursor keys with halfheight pgup and pgdn crammed above the cursor left and right keys. So, you're happily touch-typing along, and suddenly entering text a page above where you were because your finger has hit pgup instead of left.

              And the power key was next to backspace and delete.

              It's all about cost saving - they removed the trackpoint and its buttons, and removed the power key outside the keyboard area.

              Elite? really?

      I just got a Lenovo X1 Nano Gen 2 a few months ago, everything is great… except the battery life is terrible coming from my 7 year old macbook pro

    i have a 2 year old yoga slim 7i. Good laptop although in their obsession with weight/size it only has USB C ports, fine for every day working but annoying when i travel as i need to take a dongle to get HDMI out and when i went to use it at home one time i again needed a dongle to plug in an external mic. Not show stoppers but keep in mind connectivity.

    Otherwise nice solid feeling laptop and its been solid even with my two younger kids using it (carefully).

  • sparky42 on 21/03/2023 - 13:53

    Anyone know if it's soldered RAM and/or SSD or nah?

      RAM soldered
      SSD socketed (standard 2280 size)

    • horseshoe on 21/03/2023 - 14:15

      The RAM is definitely soldered. The SSD is M.2 form factor but I would not count on it being easy to access/swap out.

        If it's anything like the Yoga 7 Slim Pro and Yoga 7 Slim Pro x I have swapped SSD's on, it is very easy, just unscrew back cover, pop it off, unscrew drive, swap. But I have swapped a lot of drives over the years so might be more daunting if it was your first time.

        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHmNhulWLJQ

        Looking at the above, seems pretty standard, a pick to get the clips will assist, but seems like a quick job.

        • horseshoe on 21/03/2023 - 17:53

          We'd have to agree to disagree on what is easy. :) I find ultrabook class laptops quite discouraging to mess around with.

          The last time I tried to open one up the first barrier was just getting some Torx screwdrivers, then after that the back panel had to be levered off with quite a bit of force (making me fear that i'd snap something).

          I guess after it's finally open it's not so stressful.
          The time I did it, it was to see if my CPU fan was clogged so all up it felt like a complete waste of time with the risk of completely bricking my laptop.

      Most plastics in devices are black because adding carbon to the injection moulding is cheap and consistent. It hides many blemishes.

      Calling it 'Carbon' but making it white just seems… wrong.

    I have a ThinkPad X1 Yoga where the keyboard can retract when you flip it. Unfortunately, the keys on the keyboard started to break in the 4th year. Initially, I thought it was me and my typing that caused it - the repairer said he had never seen a broken keyboard of ThinkPad and it was his first time and he surmised it must the retraction function that caused it.

    Going to the 5th year, the left hinge broke. I could not be bothered to repair it and now only used it as a desktop.

    Other than those issues, my laptop still works really well and it could easily last for another 5 years - presumably I don't move it too often from my work desk!

  • sputzy on 21/03/2023 - 14:25

    I have the previous model of this (i7-1165G7 version), and can say it's been great in the year I've owned it so far.

    Love the weight, and you'd be surprised how noticeable a difference a sub-1kg laptop can feel. Happy with the 2k resolution, but my model doesn't get very bright, which I think has been improved on this model. Battery life is just so-so, depending on what you're doing. I live mainly in a Chrome browser for work, with at least 5-6 Google Workspace tabs open at all times. In this scenario, even with all battery saving options enabled, the battery only lasts a couple of hours. For personal use though battery life has been good. You'd probably get better battery life with this newer chip, and i5 model.

    Looks like they've reduced the number of USB-C ports down from 3 to 2 on this one, which isn't ideal. As a previous poster mentioned, you need a dongle for most things, but if you have a USB-C capable external monitor, the one cable for power and display is fantastic.

    If I didn't have my current laptop, I'd probably jump on this.

    I have this laptop and I wouldn't get it again. Bought in October 2021 it has already gone back in for repairs where it has had the keyboard replaced (keys freezing) and on another occasion the motherboard was replaced (wouldn't boot).

    The laptop its is great due to the weight, battery life and speed however the experience of it going in for repairs 6 months after purchase, then again 6 months later has left me wary of this laptop line.

    Expensive stock dump for old gen hardware. Lenovo is also the pits in terms of build quality.
    I recently obtained an opened box Dell 14' 2-in-1, i7-1255u, 16/512GB for $610 delivered on eBay. Heaps of similar availible.
    This ~equivilant spec'd Lenovo should be slightly cheaper than the Dell.

    • camcam on 21/03/2023 - 17:02

      Care to share a link please? Only similar ones I can find at that people are refurbished.

      • brenwildman on 21/03/2023 - 17:14

        Example of the most recent one I got - https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/144988135449
        (originally from here https://www.thegoodguys.com.au/dell-inspiron-14-inches-win-1…)
        $610 ($719 - 15% afterpay discount)

        Plenty more out there for even cheaper if willing to bid instead of buy it now

        OzBargain is such a sad place these days - getting neg'd for not following confirmation bias votes. Just validation and stockpuppeting not bargains anymore.

          I think you'll find you bought used not just open boxed alot of items on that store are pre-owned nothing wrong to be honest just something to keep in mind when comparing to new stock with longer warranty generally.

          I'm with you in terms of buying lightly used as you can get great deals. But it takes time to search and find something decent.

          • Alva10 on 21/03/2023 - 22:52

            @Jmore1231: Agree. I buy refurbished units once in a while as the prices are hard to beat, but it will take time for the right stock to show up.

            And with the Yoga series considered a premium model, even harder to locate. Just like trying to find an opened box of Dell XPS 13. they'll probably have better luck finding an Ideapad 2 in 1 in the Lenovo range.

            This is still a good price point for those after a new premium ultrabook that's small but powerful, lightweight and with a good screen.

    My 2 sons have these , they look and feel wonderful and so light.
    Unfortunately after a bit over a year of school bags and teenager use they are dying, multiple keys not working,very noisy fan, poor battery life . I've replaced 1 with a 3 year old x1 and it's so much better
