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

    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?

    Lenovo seem to have pulled the 4300,4500 and 4700 configurations for the 15 inch Ideapad 3 ,which was there last night .
    Its back to the 3000 series now.

    The double discount does work yes ,I checked it last night.

    I purchased the IdeaPad 5 14" a few days ago (despite being only 1.6" less diagonal, the footprint is significantly smaller so it'll be a lot more convenient for throwing in a backpack)

    Processor - Intel Core i5-1035G1 Processor (1.00GHz, up to 3.60GHz with Turbo Boost, 4 Cores, 6MB Cache)
    Operating System - Free-DOS
    Operating System Language - Free-DOS
    Memory - 16GB DDR4 3200MHz Onboard
    Hard Drive - 512GB Solid State Drive, M.2 2280, PCIe-NVMe, TLC
    Display - 14.0" FHD (1920x1080), IPS, Anti-glare, 2.4mm Thickness, 300nits, Narrow bezel
    Graphic Card - NVIDIA GeForce MX350 GDDR5 2GB 64bits
    Color - Graphite Grey
    Keyboard - Keyboard Backlit Iron Grey English (UK)
    Camera - 720p HD Camera with Array Microphone
    Surface Treatment - Anodizing
    Palmrest - Metal
    Fingerprint Reader - Fingerprint Reader
    Battery - 3 Cell Li-Polymer Internal Battery, 57Wh
    Power Cord - 95W AC Adapter (3pin)-UK (USB Type C)
    Wireless - Wi-Fi 6 2x2 AX, Bluetooth Version 5.0 or above
    Language Pack - Publication-English
    Warranty - 1 Year Courier or Carry-in

    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.


    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

    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.

    most decent laptops have a metal chassis (aluminium or magnesium alloy) these days.

    it's more durable / less creaky and more scratch-resistant than plastic and just looks and feels better to use.

    plastic fantastic is best avoided these days if you can afford it.

    metal chassis laptops are not prohibitively priced - you can get them from €600 with a quad-core cpu.

    the build quality of a laptop is something that you will appreciate every day whilst using it.

    get someone in France to post it to you or find some redirect service

    VAT rates are different also and has to be dispatched to a french address if bought from french site etc this is the case with for example dell etc also. why expect them to be different. dell own all the dell sites also.

    you can't just expect the staff to give you the same price as another site

    especially some 10 euro an hour call centre person. they have only their job to lose, nothing to gain for trying to do something out of their scope which the IT system won't let them do anyway

    "pig ignorant" sounds like - "they didn't do what I wanted them to do"

    you would also get a french keyboard layout buying from the French site...

    Hi
    I understand the message i wrote was brief but to go into further detail the issue i had the most was the prices shifting around on the website so much whats the real price/ value of the product?
    I then tried to purchase the laptop through the EXCLUSIVEWRT! and get the discount on that and when it went to the payment page it was scrambled looking and odd so(tip:use chrome as edge and firefox for me caused issues). i called the phone sales staff with the cart id to try purchase it, where i was given the take it or leave it option for the base price as they cant see rewards store prices.
    Ok fair enough i say but i have a coupon for the 10% newsletter sub(which is the same roughly as the EXCLUSIVEWRT! discount above anyway) i get told thats online only, i mention its an issue im having with my browser they say that happens due to the browser not being chrome but wont take the voucher over the phone.I said look id like to buy it at that price is there anything you can do on the price to just match the newsletter discount(also well documented online that when buying from lenovo and dell you usually get a better discount up to 12.5% via a rep vs 10% student/newletter etc) the guy in the phone goes thanks for wasting my time here and hangs up.Hence pig ignorant.

    The keyboard can be configured any way you like on the french site by the way so the uk layout is fine to pick there and the vat rate 20%fr vs 23%ie isnt a 500 euro difference.

    I bought through paypal on the french site through paypal and set my shipping address to ireland through that and the order has gone through and ive recieved order confirmation and invoice from Digital River Ireland Limited.'
    I will update the thread with how this progresses but i think its no harm for people to compare prices of these "deals" with other eu countries to see how much of a steal they may really be.Your rights on distance selling in the eu are very strong also so theres peace of mind in that also.

    sounds like you got a good deal then... if it goes through.

    pretty good that everything including the keyboard is customisable.

    re VAT I mean more that they won't send an item bought from one VAT jurisdiction to another normally unless set-up for that like amazon uk are re Ireland.

    prices are different for unknown reasons - no logic to it

    wasn't clear what your gripe was from your original message

    My initial post was more an angry rant in the moment so looking at it i was pretty vague but this thread is great for those in the market for a great laptop.
    As i said hopefully all pans out my biggest gripe is im fairly sure all over europe is being handled by digital river "based in shannon"(whether thats a virtual office or not i dont know.The price is more so weighted towards bulk buyers here thinking there getting a large discount (in the thinkpad range moreso than the other consumer bracket ideapad or yoga stuff) so when they compare that price to there unit price it seems better value.Where as in france and germany there priced pretty keenly from the get so it seems.
    Anyways ill update hopefully next week how i got on long live the bargains on the thread.

    Ordered my IdeaPad 5 on the 18th of June. A month later (18th of July) I received notification that it had shipped with a link to UPS tracking service. Tracking service shows is took 6 days to get from China to Koeln, Germany. Logged in again today to find a message saying a damage has been reported and we will notify the sender. Had heard nothing from Lenovo/Digital River on this, so gave them a call. They said I can order a replacement or get a refund. Ordered a replacement for now but seriously considering cancelling at this stage as will likely be end of September before I receive it.

    I had ordered the 14" version as the same spec as Newclareman but mine came out to €728 (with both discount codes). Could that be because I have an IPS screen? As mine has got damaged during delivery I wondering should I stick with my 14" or ordered the 15" instead.

    I bought this on the basis of 100% sRGB and metal body. I'm a bit concerned, now, but suspect it's just different terminology. In the technical spec sheets they use WVA while on the website the product specification says IPS. As I understand it, WVA just stands for wide viewing angle and the term can be used for IPS panels.

    If anyone has any further info, that'd be great, as Lenovo online chat couldn't confirm. (It's going back if it's not IPS.)

    WVA should be IPS in this case.
    No idea why they refer to it as WVA instead of IPS,its a bit misleading .

    Are you sure it was the same specs? AFAIK the 14" version can't take a HDD.

    Your right. The below came out to €728.07. Do you think I should cancel my order and go with the 15" instead?

    No, I bought Lenovo Ryzen 7 in January so I've been looking at their prices for a good while now...if ye can I'd hold off for a deal on them 700 euro prices.

    You are getting 20% off the retail prices. I am not sure how much more you can get.

    Only you can answer that - it really depends where, and for what purpose, you're using it. The cost difference is too low to worry about. Some things you might want to think about.

    1. Do you carry it about much? If so, the smaller size might be best.

    2. Do you need large amounts of storage? I wanted a HDD as I can swap in a 4TB, or bigger. However, even the 1TB option gives you 750GB more storage, overall.

    3. Will you be using programs/apps where the larger screen size would be useful?

    4. Will you be using programs/apps where the larger SSD (512GB vs 256GB) is more useful. For example, some programs/games will run poorly if using a HDD for storage.

    Finally, if you did decide to change, I'd make sure that The 15" was still available and that I was happy with the price. People have reported difficulties getting codes to stack, so you might end up paying a lot more.

    Anybody order this and have it cancelled?
    Ordered the 15" yesterday and just got an email saying "We're sorry but unfortunately we are unable to process your order at this time" guess something in my configuration is unavailable but I can put together the same configuration still on the website.

    That is just ridiculous from Lenovo, given the amount of money you've committed to buying this device and they can't even guarantee you'll get it. Not only that they don't give you the exact reason.

    You're not the first on this thread to experience this either

    I use one of those adapters for my work laptop and a macbook. One is anker and th eother is no-name - both work fine. If there's only one USB-C port on your device you should check that the dongle also supports pass through power i.e that you can connect your power supply to it and it can then charge your laptop.
