Hi all, I'm 1 of those peeps that check forums but never really commented, though I thought since I had been looking for a Lenovo laptop myself and doing some homework, I'd share with y'all the list of promo codes that I'd gathered for Lenovo (which I believe is rather comprehensive).

Though someone on this forum mentioned that he/she was asked not to share promo codes? Just checking if that's alright first.

Pls don't PM me though cause I don't really check.

 

[UchihaSasuke]

i don't see why promo code cannot be shared, in fact u should share it.

 

[huytoan132]

I remember I saw someone in this thread suddenly switching from 4 weeks become 8 then 16 weeks lol.

I’m prepared for that lol, if things go wrong then just go ahead with cancellation

is Integrated Graphics the same as Iris Xe?

I saw many other brands are using Iris XE but Lenovo just says Integrated Graphics

how do we know if its Lucienne or Cezanne? I think so far only Lenovo states

I am able to get Lenovo Lucienne at $1065 which is abt the same as the ACER with similar specs,so is it still a no brainer to get Lenovo thought its an older Ryzen?

Acer?: [AMD Ryzen 5000 series] Acer Aspire 5 A515-45-R3XU/R0SQ 15.6 Inches FHD IPS Laptop with Ryzen 7 5700U Processor?

The confusion is amd launch 5000s under zen 2 and zen 3
R5 5500U, R7 5700U is zen2, R5 5600U, R7 5800U is zen 3

In terms of student account, if you dont have an educational institution email (eg: you are buying on behalf of your kid), chat the online chat and provide their student pass Jpeg, they can still add your gmail into their whitelist and grant you access

for which model?
i will only get my estimated date on Friday.

 

[Extremme]

Thats why I get the quote first and secure the price till 17 Aug. This is one of the reasons. Still contemplating.

I Can get similar price for ACER with similar specs and deliver in a few days:

Acer Aspire 5 A515-56G-719T/76GD 15.6 Inches FHD IPS Laptop with 11 Gen Intel Core i7-1165G7​

 

[bladez87]

Order e14 on 9 aug
Estimated ship 14 aug
Expected receipt 19 Aug.

Woot!

I checked on 10 Aug, new e14 estimated. Became 4 weeks.

To compare an Aspire to a Thinkpad is not a 1:1 comparison, you know. QC differences aside, they are different classes of laptops: home vs business machine respectively.

 

[Extremme]

but I saw the specs seems similar so does it matter if its for home or business?

Sorry ah...not an IT person...

looks like Lenovo is having issue with their warehouse, UPS received no package after 3 biz days even item was listed as "ships within 2-3 biz days"

 

[xiaobao54]
