MX350 should be about 60-70% better GPU perf than the best Ryzen 4*** IGPU, although the battery life will be a bit less. sRGB screen, a samsung SSD drive (the m2.2280 is equivalent to a 970 pro apparently) and an all metal construction are nice too.

Ended up being €589.17 & the €3.80 parcel motel charge.

I eventually got a 10% refund for the delay in shipping, so I only paid €537 total (pm+insurance) for this in the end.


Got this for €13.70 direct from Lenovo too, and it's v.nice

I'll be asking for minimum 20% or will return it. Mine is coming in September

Raging I missed out on this, but I’m sure something else will come along

I didn't ask for a discount, I complained about getting something like 8 different delivery estimates and the parcel disappearing off tracking with UPS twice. If you hit them with an attitude of "You owe me a discount" I think they'll tell you to shove it tbh.

I'll call it compensation and if it does arrive in september and they refuse Im happy to return it. By September there will already be a lot more competition from other brands and possinly hints of ryzen 5000 processors. Even at 600-700euro it's not worth the price if wait time is 3 months. Already some Dell and HP laptops.on the market with 4700U and 5-10 days delivery times.

Then cancel ��*♂️

Can you recommend HP or Dell laptop with:
Thin bezel screen
8 GB ram
i5 processor or equivalent
Metallic body.

Thank you.

Has the double discount started working again? Otherwise, the additional 10% won't apply as soon as you try to use it.

masterboy123

Thank you. Its a great deal.

I am wondering if its a metal chassis? And it says shipping time more than 6 weeks. Do they usually deliver it before 6 weeks?

Its back to the 3000 series now.

Is this still available at this price? I'm not seeing it

Looking for an i5 processor with 8-16 Gb of Ram

Screen size: I'm not sure yet, 14 or 15" and nothing too heavy weight wise

How long currently are deliveries?

Thanks

Father is looking for a budget laptop and I remembered this thread. Did up an Ideapad 5 with AMD Ryzen 3.

Anybody know how well this would hold up for light photoshop usage and some music software?

Probably much better than he needs.
Honestly looks like a high end laptop to me.
That will handle anything thrown at it which doesn't need major gfx card instantly.
Only thing I'd ask is how the battery life is, but with amd 4000 series, SSD and 14inch screen it will probably be 4-8 hours no questions asked.
Even that ram is stupidly fast.
I honestly don't think you need to go above 400 for a top class laptop for everyday use nowadays.

Apologies if this question has been asked; where do you get this price?

I've logged into the Lenovo.ie site but I can only see the base price for the 14 and 15 inch ThinkPads is 649/659 euro?

Thanks

What would be the benefit of getting a Thinkpad over an Ideapad?

I'm wondering the same .

Also was looking at the Honor magicbook and Huawei Mate book.From looking online they seem to be basically the same machine, Honor is owed by Huawei.

Better to go with Lenovo or honor/Huawei, they are all very similarly priced machines?

All I know is that Thinkpads are more high end/more expensive. The last company I worked for you got a thinkpad if you were stuck at your desk doing very processor/graphics heavy work whereas all the employees who travelled a lot got the lighter Ideapads.

I do prefer the ruggedness of the Thinkpads, they have good thick plastic on them I find. I would have regretting buying the Ideapad if there was a DOS version of the Thinkpad available.
