Yeah, screen quality isn't a big deal for me because I'll be connecting my laptop to a docking station like 80% of the time. I'm happy with the TN for the limited use the screen will get

should probably pick at least an IPS option for better viewing angles and contrast. and you want the 300 nits brightness for sure. 250 is not great / looks dark.

the most expensive non-touch IPS option has reasonable colour-accuracy for those doing photo or video editing.

Just configured and added to basket €473. Mighty! Went to pay and page refreshed and it bumped it €100. Went back into config and the MS OS 10 option is no longer available to deselect. :mad::mad::mad::mad:

Anyone with a config in their cart since yesterday should be able to checkout without Windows 10 as long as they don't try to edit the spec. Just in case you decided to sleep on it.

Looks like they closed the door on the ‘naked OS’ option. That was the real sweetener.

And added the metal palmrest in as an option too!

Any idea what ports come with it? Can't see them listed as part of the config.

Yeah the operating system option is gone. I tried to cancel an order this morning, customer service have put request through to warehouse.

If I can't cancel it, someone is welcome to the below at cost price (€580) + delivery from Cork if needed.
Otherwise I'll be sending back to Lenovo. Drop me a PM.

Thankfully that’s what happened to me. I was on the fence since Friday and left it in my cart. Managed to check out this morning with the max spec (without windows).

Phew!!

Not as good a bargain anymore now that you have to select it with windows.

Dante7 · 27-04-2020 1:58pm

Video review comparing it to a Dell XPS and a MacBook Air. This is looking like a really excellent machine and a brilliant bargain for anyone who managed to get it with the full discounts and no Windows.

This Lenovo Ideapad 5 15 is called (联想小新15 2020), you can copy those words and search on Youtube for a closer look at the laptop, in Chinese though.

They pulled the Free-Dos option last night around midnight on the UK and Ireland websites.
Its still available on the mainland European websites though.
