    im getting an error" Cart was removed since exceed cart reservation limitation of 30 minutes."

    Any ideas?

    the Irish site seems to be as cheap if not a touch cheaper than the UK equivalent in some cases.
    The link and code given earlier on page 2 in the thread works. Try in a browser with the cache and cookies cleared.
    Coupon Code: 4xeMTyOjIdJc for whoever needs it

    i think its somehow mucking it up as having been in an earlier cart

    im going to try to get in navigating to the main site and finding the login area, try the customization myself.


    but cheers again for the steer, still optimistic now that ill get it at a fair discount

    ok sorry i couldn't help further . I think you are right about having something in cart before and then checkout and back to cart causing errors , I tested the link in a different browser and seemed to work ok . Also Kudos to the OP who suggested I sign up for the newsletter . Further 10 percent off brought the build down to 460

    Once you go to cart stage, don’t think you can rebuild. Just restart. And remember, you must use a Uk shipping address.

    How did you use the newsletter 10%? I haven't received an email from them since signing up :(

    Took about 10 minutes to land in my promotions Gmail folder.

    looks like the emailed 10% doesnt work on the Irish rewards site for the 4700u or 4800u, any other choice it works

    10% worked for me on all configurations on the Irish site

    going to clear my cache see if i can get it to work for the 4700u or 4800u


  • Registered Users Posts: 97 ✭✭jasonhn


    ok, I found the reason, the multitouch screen seems to cause it.

  • Registered Users Posts: 85 ✭✭BJG524


    Getting it without windows 10 as many seem to be doing, is it easy to install that after or?

    There's a tool you can download directly from MS that'll create an install image on a USB key. You'd probably need to change the boot order (SSD > USB) in the BIOS, but that just involves hitting a key and navigating a few menus.

    Just to let you know i forgot to add backlit keyboard rang and they wont change unless i cancel entire order and reorder, guess il have to do without


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,368 ✭✭✭XsApollo


    Is the 3.2mm screen ok , what’s the difference between this and the thinner one.

    475euro for
    4500 Ryzen
    16gig ram
    256 ssd
    70kw battery
    Upgraded charger
    Upgraded wireless
    Backlit keyboard

    That all good?

    Is the 4500U worth the extra €50 over the 4300U? It'd mainly be used for browsing, no image or video editing, and the only games played would be the Facebook kind.

    The screen will be more than good enough. The rest of the spec you selected is spot on. Pretty much same as mine (I did throw in the touch screen option - a gimmick I'm sure I'll never use - and finger print scanner)

    For what you intend to use it for, the 4300 won't even break a sweat. EVER.

    Should I select the dummy drive then for the second one select my preference like 256gb?

    Will that let me increase capacity later on?

    If you select NONE rather than DUMMY in the first selection, it will allow selection of a better 70wh battery

    Windows 10 keys can be bought legit very cheaply online

    Lenovo are charging €100 for the pleasure of having it pre-installed

    Or there is always Linux
