    Hopefully they will drop price more when EOFY sale + high % cashback!

    • Ramsses2100 on 18/04/2024 - 17:35

      We all hope so; however at the current price and if we still have the 13% cashback I would buy it immediately, my only problem now is I don't really have enough money for the current deal.

              @meong: I'm totally new to this website, so mistakes were made (I hoped that it maybe a deal for someone at the time).
              I'm now trying not to make those mistakes, ironically I'm been suspected to be affiliate 😂 😢

              I would like to be affiliate in order to afford to buy a new laptop with the affiliate discount 😂 (I'm poor and can't afford high prices😔); but in that case I would clearly declare that I'm affiliate.

          I consider the Legion the best because I started researching for a gaming laptop for about a year now, also I'm a computer technician so I look into the deep details as much as possible. That's why I find the Legion to be the best in terms of over all offer.

          I would take an Asus Laptop instead if it have the same specs and at the same price as the Lenovo Legion.

          • krisspy on 18/04/2024 - 17:57

            @Ramsses2100:

            • you did research for a year on gaming laptops
            • you are a comouter technician

            I don't see how those two points highlight the quality of lenovo laptops.

            The you confuse me more by saying you'd take an Asus laptop over lenovo.

            Not helping my guy.

              @krisspy: I like it's build quality and looks with the condition I mentioned (the same specs and price).
              Also to better understand what I mean, look for Jarrod's tech youtube channel for reviews, this is how deep I look for in a laptop.

            @Ramsses2100: Appreciate your deal posts and your research.

            I'm looking for a good laptop for my mum, she only does internet browsing, ancestry stuff, but would like something with good RAM (has 50 chrome tabs open) and fast processor.

            Budget like up to $2k

            She fills up the SSD quickly too and hates external HDD or cloud storage cos it's confusing. I'd probably get a 2TB after-market SSD maybe if it was better price ratio.

            She doesn't game at all so no need for amazing graphics.

            Have you got any suggestions for a good deal?

            Thanks for any advice!

              @Quantico: Then look at asus vivobook oled. My eyes getting old also need a sharper bigger screen to look at.

              @Quantico: For just browsing the internet I would say any laptop starting from $350-$650 would be good (but upgrade-ability is the key).

              My current laptop is an Acer aspire E5-575-33BM 15" with an Intel 7th gen 7100 and came with 4GB of ram and 1TB of HDD (when this laptop gets slow, that's it, I must close everything and restart about 2 or 3 times per week now). I added an extra 4GB of ram in the free ram slot.

              Also it have a free m.2 slot too (the only m.2 slot and I couldn't even afford to buy any; how about that for those whom accuse me to be affiliate?), (Damn it, I'm a poor jobless man 😢. Maybe I need a sugar mama 🤔😂)

              I bought this laptop 2017 for about $500ish + $40 for the added ram.

              It works good for browsing up to about 40 taps (note I use firefox), but it barely do any gaming (I used to play world of tanks, and this laptop barely run it on low settings for an hour, then it crashes or the laptop restart) so I lost hope and stopped gaming entirely (that's why I'm highly looking for the Lenovo Legion Slim 5)

              I would advice that in your use case, your budget is over spending and you should save some money.
              I would look for an Acer 15" or 16" laptop, maybe with OLED screen for the beautiful colours (but that is a matter of personal taste),
              have an AMD Ryzen 5 7640 with it's good integrated graphics and at least 16GB of ram (in one slot with another free slot so you would be able to add another 16GB), and 2 slots of m.2 SSD ( one will be occupied with at least 512GB).

              I will take a quick look for you to see if I can recommend a specific laptop.

              @Quantico: I think this HP EliteBook one is good
              https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/839821
              However, the ram is at 16GB which is mentioned to be the max limit. Maybe a more modern and new version with 16" would be the one for you.
              Also I would recommend the Asus Vivobook that @Kaikor suggested

        You can get the slim 5 14 with 32gb ram

  • Ramsses2100 on 18/04/2024 - 18:50

    Still at this price ( and the prior prices) it's a cheap move from Lenovo to offer a Legion laptop with barely 16GB while the Lenovo LOQ (the budget offer also from Lenovo) comes with the same 16GB too.

  • juzzayy on 18/04/2024 - 19:16

    Are there cheaper laptops with 32 or 64 gigs of ram? I don't really need a 40xx gpu, i just wanted a laptop for heavy VMs (ram) and music prod (ram + cpu).

    I'm not really familiar with the laptop specs as they seem to be a different ballgame compared to desktop specs. My desktop runs Ryzen 5 5600x with a 3080, and i'm happy for the laptop to be much weaker (especially in gpu) than that.

    • Ramsses2100 on 18/04/2024 - 19:30

      I would suggest a laptop with RTX 3060 (would cost about $1000) and you buy the extra ram (never seen any laptop with more than 32GB ram and not a gaming one ate the same time).

      • juzzayy on 18/04/2024 - 19:45
        +2

        Thanks. Actually after researching a bit, I honestly think the integrated 780M is more than enough. looking at some youtube videos and it can run AAA stuff at 45+fps, and lighter games at 100+fps!

        • Ramsses2100 on 18/04/2024 - 19:52

          Then, I think that something around $800 up to $1100 would be what you looking for

    Probably worth paying the extra $50 for the 500 nit screen.

      You lose Advanced Optimus and Gsync with that screen though. It's only avilable on the 350 nit option.

  • The-Real Team Doge on 18/04/2024 - 22:10

    Ended up buying one of these to replace my MacBook Pro (M1 Pro) since I needed Windows for my workflow. Didn't realise it was such a deal! I did upgrade the RAM to 32GB, but left the screen as it is. Although I don't think I saw a that 400 nit screen option.

    Tracked the 13% cashback so brought it down to around $1.8K - hopefully it'll do what I need it to do~

    • Ramsses2100 on 18/04/2024 - 22:45

        I must say, the thing that really got me was the 16" screen, and the 16:10 aspect ratio! It really makes it look and feel like the old laptops from the 2000s (not in a bad way haha).

        The trackpad is a major downgrade from my MacBook Pro, I almost thought it wasn't working properly because early on some of the clicks wouldn't register… but I think I've gotten used to it now having owned a ThinkPad many moons ago!

        • Ramsses2100 on 25/04/2024 - 22:45

          Thanks for this update, I hope it will help others.
          I never had a Mac so maybe I won't face the track pad issue, but I really hate the fact that this laptop with it's current price tag (with or without cashbacks) have just only a 512gb storage (that's a cheap move from lenovo in my openion), it would be good if it was 1tb; also the keys have a standard only white back light, or you must pay lenovo an exttra $50 (another cheap move, very very specially for a Legion laptop).

            @Ramsses2100: Yeah agreed! I had a spare m.2 SSD so I just added that to the second slot it came with, which is already pretty neat! I rarely use the backlighting on my keyboard, so if it saved me $50, I'm kinda happy haha

    • AndrewMTG on 18/04/2024 - 23:20

      manually upgradeee?

      • The-Real Team Doge on 18/04/2024 - 23:42

        I did it in the configurator online because the pricing seemed to be similar and I didn't want to fluff around.

        You can upgrade it manually after since it uses SODIMM slots (like the good old days)!

    Lenovo customer service is crap. Too far from HP and Dell service. Bad luck my Lenovo yoga stopped working after 6 months purchased. So many issues happened 2 months before it completely dead. Never buy anything from Lenovo again. If you read customer forum for Lenovo product, you will see tons of common issues and hopeless to get help from Lenovo.

      • azhon4 on 21/04/2024 - 10:07

        for the price to performance. its an extremely good deal for a brand new laptop especially since its a LOQ so it has G-sync and advanced optimus for under $1k

        • Ramsses2100 on 21/04/2024 - 13:17

          I would prefer a LOQ with RTX 4050 for around $1000-1100 and get the frame generation tech + the 2 additional GB of VRAM (total 6GB)
