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

Odd, thought the higher the spec, 16Gb ram etc, the lighter the load on CPU.
What am I missing?

Ordered 12th April from UK store, delivery is now due July 1st. Two days ago it was june 9th

Mine looks promising, for now at least. Ordered April 30th, expected to ship May 11th, expected to arrive May 30th (2020 )

I ordered the exact same spec and have the exact same delivery details and no email either. There must be something holding the others up.

I never ordered in the end, but having seen the amount of problems people seem to be having, I'm kinda glad I didn't order now.

I don't there's any real problems as such, it's more that one person's order was cancelled (probably due to a 14" chassis) and it's just spooked a lot of people who really want their orders to proceed - but according to all communications from Lenovo so far, everything in in train. A couple of people have had a longer delay but I think most are still on track.

The email I received said there'd be a slight delay but my dates didn't change as far as I know. They probably plan Ryanair-style contingency into their estimates.

"Lenovo offers a wide range of products and accepts only the highest quality from suppliers. For this reason, a shortage of components can influence your shipping date after your order has been placed. Unfortunately, fulfilment of your “ASSEMBLY IdeaPad 5 15ARE05” has been delayed because of this. Your new estimated shipping date is: 09/05/20

Please click here, if you would like to monitor your order status.

Rest assured that the Lenovo factory is working hard to expedite your shipment. Because of the unforeseeable delays since your order was placed, we would recommend that you complete a review of the payment details used during order placement in order to ensure successful fulfilment and payment of your purchase.

We regret any inconvenience this delay may have caused."

I ordered mine on the 30th of April, its status has been "order received" since then, no change of status. Getting annoyed about it to be honest.

Colour: teal, aluminium handrest, 4600u, and 16Gb.

It does seem aluminium are causing the delays.
