      Hi, would this be good for a year 9 student or too heavy at 1.78 kg? My daughter dropped her HP laptop, still usable but really painful to use as one of the hinge is out. Thanks in advance.

      • rumblytangara on 18/09/2024 - 16:53

        That's pretty heavy in part because it's a big laptop. A T14 is about a pound lighter.

    wow!
    828 after code
    704 after cashback
    624 after TRS (TRS calculated from full price 899)
    is that a (enough) bargain ?

    • Tiggrrrrr on 18/09/2024 - 10:05

      Won't the purchase price be $828, so the TRS is calculated based on the GST portion paid (i.e. $828 -> $75) ?

      • CyberMurning on 18/09/2024 - 10:12

        oh yes sorry it will have the coupon showing on receipt,,, :(

      • Juice08 on 18/09/2024 - 10:40

        also cashback is usually calculated minus GST so ~$112 off $828 = $716. Still pretty good!

          It means yes. AJT gave all the meaningful information.

          But also if you don't understand and can't be arsed figuring out even the first bullet point, you are probably not the kind of person who should even be seriously asking this question as you will never upgrade the laptop.

      If you need Pro, just install Pro unlicenced. I'm looking at an unlicenced screen right now and the watermark is barely noticeable - how much time do you really spend in the lower right corner of your screen?

    I just bought this laptop last night. I got a shipped email with an hour of shipping but the order page says it is unshipped. I'm wondering if it's worth the hassle of cancelling and reordering to save $70

      They'll charge you with a re-stocking fee if you cancel now, happened to me last time

  • Danger on 18/09/2024 - 09:59

    I hope Lenovo has improved product build quality. Is it still made of plastic body ? My last laptop broke at a joint of screen and keypad after 3 years (of normal use).

    • TrPha1310 on 18/09/2024 - 10:06

      Go for T series or above instead. These E series are usually built from plastic, which is why they have lower prices.

        • willyroo on 18/09/2024 - 11:36

          Yes, and the weight as well. T (spec for spec) is lighter - in my experience anyway.

        I'd 100% rather buy a second hand T or X series than a new E series tbh

      Depends on which series you buy.

      E series is their bottom of the barrel models, best suited for being left on a desk.

        Student grade. Students too play games.

    • kaikor on 18/09/2024 - 12:58

      Was about to ask how good/bad is that screen, so its sh|t, right?

      • Viper8 on 18/09/2024 - 13:17

        It is slightly brighter than the norm, and a higher resolution. But compared to a base model TV or monitor, or a mid-range laptop, the screen is missing about 1/3 of the colour. To loosely simulate this, you could open an image in any free photo editing software on your PC and then reduce the colour saturation by 33%. The image will turn visibly grey. That's what these screens are like 24/7.

        • CarbonTwelve on 18/09/2024 - 13:33
          +1

          I feel like that's a bit unfair. Side by side with another laptop it'll be noticeably less rich / vibrant, but on its own I find you get used to monitors that have poor coverage and it really doesn't matter much unless you're working with photos and/or printing out colour regularly.

          • Viper8 on 18/09/2024 - 13:38
            -1

            @CarbonTwelve: Even the cheapest monitor has 99% sRGB. This laptop screen has about 65% sRGB. I was never comparing standard monitors to high-end professional monitors.
            I've used laptops with this colour gamut, and it's noticeable the entire time. Everything looks dull/ grey the entire time you're using them. Your desktop, icons on the task bar, websites, etc. You can see it the whole time. There's a reason they don't make monitors or TV's with this low of a colour gamut.

            • Juice08 on 18/09/2024 - 14:24

              @Viper8: OK so maybe I jumped on this deal too quick - but I'm currently on a HP Pavilion L1M30PA i3 bought in 2016 and according to Google it is 1366 x 768 maximum resolution, 220-nits brightness and 45% NTSC. So bummed it's not much of an upgrade but I can probably handle the washed-out colours.

              Was originally looking at 3k OLED laptops for ~$2k but don't need that for my usage I guess.

            • Duckie2hh on 18/09/2024 - 15:15

              @Viper8: What if upgrading screen to the 2560x1600 IPS, 400nits screen?

              • Viper8 on 18/09/2024 - 16:27

                @Duckie2hh: That is 100% sRGB, which is about 72% NTSC. This is in-line with a standard desktop monitor or TV. And realistically this is all you need unless you're doing professional editing. It's an expensive option though as you're also paying for a higher resolution, and brighter screen.
