First post so please lmk if I’ve done anything wrong here!

Seems like cheapest this spec has gone, typically 16GB RAM version (which was $1170.19 with EOFYEARLYACCESS) is the only one on sale, but is now more expensive.

Recommend upgrading for $11 (really $10.56) more for the 70Wh upgrade, an OLED panel and HS CPU doesn’t sound fun for battery on a measly 54.7Wh battery (total to $1256.59). Seems like a decent deal for decent build and nice OLED display, however R680M is feeling a little old now, considering other 860M laptops are less with similar specs, excluding the display size.

    I believe you can upgrade the battery to 70Wh on these models

      This is already mentioned in the post "Recommend upgrading for $11 (really $10.56) more for the 70Wh upgrade"

      Yep, I just didn’t include it in the original price as there’s no discount included by optioning it, unlike with other Lenovo deals. Tho I am optioning it on mine

      Feels cheap for Lenovo to include OLED and a HS CPU but not have 70Wh as standard… not entirely surprised though

    I have been looking for something to use for language learning and a bit of travel. This looks like a good option!

    For the price it seems great, maybe even overkill for my intended use? Probably just for anki, note taking, etc.. and some research

    Does anyone have recommendedations or comments on this model?

    Don't forget 16% cashback today with TCB

    • JownehFixIT on 03/06/2025 - 18:01

      I've a feeling lenovo education store negates that. I had some percentage via shopback when I ordered one of these yesterday, and it tracked $0.

      • artcvan on 03/06/2025 - 18:08

        Yes TCB conditions seem to not allow for edu pricing, if you spec the non-70Wh batt version it's $1091.16 with TCB on the regular store, and 70Wh would be $1100.40 from my calculations. Still would be cheaper than edu alone it seems

        • teealama on 04/06/2025 - 16:19

          Dont think so , regular store price seems much higher to me

          • artcvan on 05/06/2025 - 08:36

            @teealama: non-70Wh is $1299, 70Wh is $1310 on regular store. With the 16% it would’ve been cheaper than edu

        Sorry my bad, you are correct, missed the education store in title. Regular store should be alright though with the eofy sale

      Never used TCB before, how reliable / trustworthy is it? It's always around on OzB so I assume there's some resemblance of reliability, tho I'm always sceptical nowadays esp with 16%

      • JownehFixIT on 03/06/2025 - 19:16

        It rules. I think it's my fav of all the cashback companies.

    Don’t see any decent priced laptop on sale with HDMI 2.1 capable of more than 60Hz at 4K.
    Kind of makes these laptops no good connected to decent higher refresh rate monitor capable of 100hz/120hz/144hz or better at 1440p or 4k :(

    Anyone seen a good laptop deal with HDMI 2.1 or DP capable of 100hz/120hz/144hz or better?

    • JownehFixIT on 05/06/2025 - 08:55

      That's weird. I thought HDMI 2.1 was the standard, and so long as you use an HDMI 2.1 certified cable, and monitor supporting those resolutions and refresh rates (via their HDMI 2.1 inputs, not just displayport which is often the case) you should be gold. Why would any device claim to have HDMI 2.1 but not support those output ranges?

    • JownehFixIT on 05/06/2025 - 11:32

      Oh and also, this laptop is capable of 144hz with DP via USB C. DisplayPort 1.4 supports 8K 60hz and 4K 144hz with Display Stream Compression (DSC).

      I'm looking at a 4K144hz display via DP right now. Not from my laptop though. This laptop has two USB C ports with Power Delivery AND DP 1.4 which is handy if you don't have a hub/dock to connect power delivery into while also connecting a type C to DP cable. You can use one port to power, and the other to run a C to DP cable just fine.

    If your not into casual gaming and spend 99% of your time in the browser and on the internet, get the SNAPDRAGON ~ I have the one you listed here and its great, I love the OLED screen and wont be rushing back to the apple-tax again anytime soon but I dont game and now the base SD are cheap, id get that instead!

    • these AMD do have an NPU but its nothing fancy, 13TOPS Int8 so ok for facial and fingerprint reignition is all. The CoPilot versions have the new update to this NPU and they do around 50TOPs.

    *LLMs/Ai they do ok with >5gb models in the GPU memory 10Toks . Larger models you need to use the CPU/25gb of the 32 for Ai and its slower 1-5 toks depedning on the model (llmstudio or llmama)

    • the BIOS update is always problematic as the default 100mb EMI partition is too small and it fails BIOS updates. The fix is complex (assign drive letter, reboot into recovery cmd and delete the additional language fonts in the EFI) reboot and run update to the BIOS or better, reinstall and make sure you manualy give yourself a 200mb EFI not the defualt 100mb ~ bios will now work, just make sure your on wall power and not battery
