The keys should be sent to you within a few minutes of purchase. Lol no one is coming to arrest you for buying a software key from eBay.

I think he was being sarcastic :P

Seen a poster on the laptop forum say they specced one on Lenovo site for pretty much the same price as the offer.

Not a hope.

I seem to be able to go onto their site and customize a laptop for what seems to be the same price anyway so all good

that post was from April 23 when the deal was still going.

I guess the deal is still there other than deselecting Windows 10 Home option gone, which was a saving for around €85 (€95 - 10% email signup).

Ah my bad, I was following the posts before where one guy seemed to suggest that the deal was over, and that poster replied saying they specced one for same price.

Just got a cancellation email for the 14 inch Intel version, ordered over 2 weeks ago.

Anyone else get similar?

Have you checked your order? I ordered about two weeks ago aswell (AMD Ryzen) and my online order says it’s been released to manufacturing.

It had said it had been released to manufacturing, but I also got a delay email a few days after ordering. This morning I got the cancellation mail.

UK store btw.

Did they give a reason for cancellation?

Anandtech review of the 4700U & 4500U

Order back a few weeks ago and then put a second order in a few days after for the same machine with a metal palm rest. Have shipping date for first one and can still cancel it but afraid to cancel it in case second one also gets cancelled. If the 2 ship I'm more than willing to offload the first at cost price to someone on here that missed out.
Spec was Rysen5 4500 with 16gb ram, 256GB HD, 70Wh battery, fingerprint reader, backlit keyboard. Will update ye once I know more on the orders.

"Unfortunately, the " ASSEMBLY IdeaPad 5 14IIL05 (1x)" you ordered is no longer available and as a result it was necessary to cancel it. We double checked with other warehouses, but sadly without success."

I'd gladly take it off your hands?

Can pay via revolut/PayPal etc.

I opened a ticket as I had not got a ship date.
Got the following reply:
Unfortunately the Metal C Cover that was included in your order don't have any supply yet. In that case, our relevant department is just advising you to cancel this order and transfer to ABS Cover.

I talked to Customer Support and their advice was to hold tough for a while as supply of parts can change on a daily basis.
I talked to Pre-Sales who said they cannot re-do a quote with ABS cover at the same price.

So, it's wait and see for now. At least they didn't cancel it ..... yet.

As I feared ,overheating issues and throttling .
I expect the fan on the Lenovo to be like a tractor .

No email yet, for the people who are getting cancellation mails did ye order off the Uk or Ire store?

MidlanderMan

I got a delay email but the date is the same as before?
Ordered throught ire store.

4500u, 256gb SDD, IPS display, plastic palm rest.

Dante7

Are the orders that have been cancelled have the metal or plastic palm rest? There seems to be an issue with supply of the metal palm rest.

Ryath

What spec? Did it say the part that was out of stock.

Just put in an order for one I had saved in my basket. It was too good a deal to turn down looking at benchmarks and reviews. Didn't have the option to spec the metal palm rest at the time hopefully it goes through.

XsApollo

Got the same email,
Didn’t spec the metal palm rest either.

YouTube review of the Lenovo said the opposite, performed quietly and well against a Dell XPS and a MacBook, both of which throttled. I wouldn't expect as much of Acer in that regard, generally more of a corner cutter. However in general it looks like AMD have been able to get partners to build better spec laptops all round this time. No doubt Dell will make one model available in Moldova with a dot matrix screen then use lack of sales to cancel their whole line. :-)

This laptop isn't available in 14" with AMD yet. That's a different laptop that's been cancelled.
