I was looking for a new laptop for EOFY and came across this one. It's not for me but might be for someone else. Says it's 55% off RRP of $3,469.00
Not sure of shipping costs.
Please provide a link to a laptop, that has a similar chassis quality, that is half this price?
I'm happy to pay maybe $200-$300 for thin, premium metal chassis. $700+? What are you even doing on ozbargain?
tbf apart from once in 3 moon Asus vivobook deal and harvey Norman Acer aspires, average 700$ readily available are either amd two core stuff or just straight up trash HP chunky laptop
With the design I almost thought it was a new Microsoft notebook.
It has been this price for a few times. If you really want it, wait until they have 12% cashback (from Shopback and Cashrewards), they always stack!
The caps make it more like 20% but still good.
Looking at all the photos, is this thing fully aluminium build?
Yes it is, CNC aluminium.
They have had the Z16 (7840 one) for $1499 for a long while. Seems that it has been sold out now.
That is an immensely better deal. I suspect that the price of Z13 will come down as well.
They have the Z16 for $1,569.00 but with the 7640hs.
That's why I say these are sold out.
The ones with better specs (7840) were on sale for $1499 from mid-April to May.
I even had an email on May 7th from Lenovo advertising them.

Considering the discount % (which seems to be the largest drop across the entire store), I believe Lenovo is now just getting rid of these Z models. That's why I suspect the prices for the current ones will drop further.
I've had a Z13 gen2 for over 6 months now - higher spec than this one but the build is solid and a lovely compact laptop i think.
Good laptop with great battery life and the AMD chip runs cool.
However if you're a Thinkpad keyboard fan be prepared for some potential dealbreakers: Print Screen key moved to where Insert was, Insert now shared with End key, no dedicated Page Up/Down keys, directional buttons squashed, no trackpad hard buttons, left Ctrl and Fn swapped (but fixable in BIOS).
Users new to the brand should be fine.
is it okay in 2024 not having thunderbolt ports (as in intel series)?
It has USB4, which has TB3 specifications
I have dedicated page up/down?
(New thinkpad user)
The two up/down keys do double duty as Page Up/Page Down keys on the Z13/Z16. They are separate on every other Thinkpad.
Oh OK i see what you mean :)
7540U, 16GB non-upgradable RAM, """IPS""" screen. Sorry this is pure MSRP engineering it is worth about half as much of this "discounted" price.
