  • How’s this compare to a MacBook M3?

    • +7

      If you go by geekbench, then 20% slower. If OS isnt an issue, a 16GB M3 would be way faster than this and have better battery. I am not looking at these intel books unless its panther lake or have dedicated nvidia graphics.

      • Thank you

      • Any suggestions for models with a nvidia card and not gamer-y styled.

        • sorry no idea.

      • how do these compred to Ryen version of the sme?

        keybord issue, ignoe typo

    • +7

      I have the 15" version of this laptop, and love it.
      The Lunar Lake laptops like this were probably the first Windows laptop that are truly comparable to the M-series MacBooks - both have unified memory, decent memory bandwidth, good battery life. 258v is pretty much line-ball on all counts with the baseline M3 laptop, perhaps not unsurprising given I understand both are built on the TSMC 3nm node.
      Esp for the memory/$, this is pretty hard to beat, so long as 32GB is enough for your needs.
      I'd say if you're a Mac person, and 24gb if enough for you, stay with the Mac ecosystem. If you're a Windows person, or an extra 6GB would make a significant difference for you (e.g. local AI inference), this is a genuinely good option.

      • Thank you

      • I've been using the 15" as well for the past year and it's a decent device.

        During normal use with 5-10 firefox tabs, email, chat apps and word open I use about 13% of battery an hour, so I get like 8 hours battery life. Can easily game on it too.

        Only complaint is that I've gotten so many of these ugly little chips in the finish on the palm rest area. I don't know what it they are, they're not scratches from anything I wear. Also my touch screen has been buggy so I disabled it completely recently

    • And if gaming matters, then this

  • +3

    What's the way around to get a .edu ?

  • +7

    Damn, no touch screen!
    Can never seem to get the combo right with these. Either not enough storage/ram or no touch

    • +1

      Exactly, 💯% I agree with you.

    • +10

      Do people actually use the touch?
      I had touch on my XPS15 and honestly used it once or twice to sign documents but otherwise I'd forget it even had a touch screen.

      • +2

        I have an old 8th gen touch screen laptop, and whilst I don't use the touch often, it's handy to have it you were using the laptop for niche things like recipes, user guides or just reading when the laptop is folded.

      • I have used it for scrolling a few times in three years. But that is because my work dell latitude’s trackpad is rubbish.

      • My children’s school requires the computer to have touchscreen

        • +1

          A bit silly… never needed/used a touchscreen laptop once in high school just a few years back…

      • I had it on my previous work laptop and never used it.

    • AMD Touch version a little extra but is a much worse CPU from what I'm reading?

      Edit: Nevermind Unidays coupon code seems not valid for it.

    Have had this for about a month. Great laptop just wish the sceen was higher res.

    • +3

      Damn, Higher than 2880x1800?
      Im not doubting you, but i thought it was already pretty decent. This means Im going to have to avoid 1080p laptops like the plague, especially if i go with something 15.6"
      or larger

      • +4

        My mistake i have the 1080p version. Regrets. This wouls be great.

        • Thanks for the reply. Sounds like I will still need to avoid the laptops with cheaper screens then.

  • -2

    Just 12mb cache at this price? Am I wrong to assume this being not so cheap?

  • Extra 5% for first app order or Shopback stacks?

  • I have the cheaper 226v version of this. Great laptop, build quality is top tier. Lunar Lake seems to have finally resolved the driver nightmares of last year. Both W11 and Linux run great with excellent battery life.

    • How's battery life? Is there a difference between Linux and Win?

      • +2

        It is good. But Check if they fixed this before buying for Linux.

        Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Aura Edition (15ILL9): * The Issue: Recent reports from early 2026 highlight a specific ACPI bug. When waking from s2idle sleep, the "Embedded Controller" (EC) doesn't always wake up properly.

        The Result: Users report that after "waking" the laptop, the fans stay off (causing overheating) and the keyboard backlight won't turn back on without manual terminal hacks.

        • +1

          Not experiencing that issue on Fedora 43 kernel 6.18

      • +1

        Battery life is excellent. 8+ hours web browsing or media.

        Yes there's a difference, highly recommend testing out a beginner friendly distro. You'll ditch Windows and never go back :)

  • The ram themselves cost $1k so this is pretty good value

  • -1

    Lenovo or Acer?

    China or Taiwan?

    • Lenovo is so bureaucratised that I'd argue most Australian tech consumers may not even know they're Chinese, or are willing to forget this fact. They have the Legion gaming lineup, but they also offer office and business solutions like this laptop, which cater to Western enterprises.

  • Not bad, paid $1304 for a refurb (quality is amazing though, not a single sign it's a refurb and you can purchase full warranty addons still)

    Edit: Seems it's half price warranty add-ons when purchased with a new device (or -49%), so even better. 4 years on-site warranty for $1832.33 total. About what it'd cost me to upgrade my warranty and it's not a refurb, though to be fair I can't even tell this one is a refurb - the condition is amazing. No scratches or marks, nothing.

    $284.43(inc. GST) for 4 years on-site from 1 year carry-in/courier.

    tl;dr: This + 4 years on-site is cheaper than the refurb + 4 years upgrade…

    • Where was the refub?

    • Does this warranty PLUS cover accidental damage?

      • +1

        Not accidental no, it's on-site next business day support (with parts) for warranty repairs. So no return to base or waiting weeks - it's fixed next business day at your house.

  • Do these oled screens have bad glare in direct lighting?

    • it’s very bright i’ve never noticed bad glare

    • Yes, you can see your fingers typing reflected on the screen. I'd say there no anti reflective coating whatsoever

    • It's a glare type screen, but very very bright so still usable. I almost never need it on full brightness.

  • +1

    I have read that the fan noise is bad in these laptops. Can someone, who own one, please provide feedback if it is really annoying?

    • +2

      i have it and i’ve never noticed fan noise after a year

    • +1

      Most reviews are stress testing when commenting on fan noise. These Lunar Lake CPU’s basically run passive during light loads

    • +2

      Much improved over the previous generation but when the fan spins is got a very noticeable signature

  • Thanks OP, great price and got the $1 sleeve also.

  • Anyone know what the battery life is on this? Can’t see anything official listed

  • +3

    My son has this for school. He loves it. Lasts all day at school easily (and after, and half the next day if he forgot to charge it), and does play his games. No big issues with fan noise - only when gaming. Was slightly more in Jan ($1630), but $244 Topcashback made it cheaper. I have been tempted to get one myself.

    • +2

      Wow kids nowadays are rocking $1600 laptop i remember my first pc, a desktop with vga monitor plays digger…..

  • Arrived today. A lot faster than the 4 to 5 week window they advised at time of ordering which is good.
