Original Coupon Deal

Lowest historical pricing. $50.20 cheaper than last time. Description from this old deal

Up to 16 TOPS of performance on the NPU chip and the Radeon 780M is apparently capable of playing Cyberpunk 2077 (but on unfortunately just on potato graphics settings).

There is also a weaker, but higher-resolution version of this machine with Ryzen 5-8640U for $899.20 $848.80

2 Less CPU cores
Upgraded resolution WQXGA (2560 x 1600) as opposed to 1920 x 1200.
iGPU is downgraded to a Radeon 760M with 8 CUs (512 shaders) running at up to 2,600 MHz, a significant downgrade from the 780M which has 12 CUs (768 Shaders) @ 3GHZ
The RAM and Storage is identical.

I don't recommend this configuration as the resolution is somewhat overkill given the small size of the display and it's been cheaper before

    such a rather dumb design - should have at least one usb-c at each side for the power-in

    • +2

      Yeah. charger input and HDMI output will be on the right.. and most people are right handed.

      Main reason I've stuck with Lenovo for past 15 years.

        I wouldn't have thought of that before it was too late. What a blunder

      • trend for smaller and lighter means port reduction, at work we need to install more WAPs as the new laptops don’t have ethernet ports, just usb c and usb a, and we have docks on desks.

    • Yeah i wish my lenovo also split out the 2 usb c on each side ….

  • Isnt that the Lenovo webcam shutter? Everyone can use it now? Lenovo never bothered with a patent…

    • +5

      I had a webcam with a sliding cover like 20 years ago. Hardly seems original or patentable.

  • How's the build quality on this thing, I guess it is full plastic chassis?

    • +2

      It has a magnesium-aluminum chassis (which is how it gets sub-1KG weight) but with plastic bezels around the display like most budget laptops.

      Definitely not as solid as Elitebook Folio or Thinkpad X/T series though. There's also no trackpoint and none of the USB ports are fast, only topping out at 10Gbps (Thunderbolt 4 is 40gbps)

      • oh nice, metal body always look and feel more up class

  • +2

    Have this - very capable and perfect travel laptop given its size and weight. Used it to do some light photo and video editing, it managed to keep up!

    • Able to run any light gaming no issue?

      • Very comfortably, had one with the same cpu (Acer swift x)

        It’s about as capable as a GTX 1050, maybe even TI, if you remember those days. Much faster CPU than back then though so even more capable.

        Edit: I had the 8845hs, higher TDP CPU but same GPU. Potentially means better cooling though, but doubt it’d throttle much @ 15-30w TDP even at 1kg (barely any cooling)

  • No WiFi 7
    No USB 4.0 (and worse, it’s only 1 lane / 10Gbps)

    1kg is insanely good though, especially for these specs. It’s a very capable CPU and iGPU

    This goes on sale for $1097. Better option if you want usb4.0 and OLED

    • When is this meant to go on sale? it still shows up as $1,298 for me :\

      • It was 1097 2 weeks ago, it went up for their 10% gift card BS (as per usual) and appears to not have gone back down properly
