Part of the business cashback but you need to buy accessories as well.

Very nice deal. Lovely 500 nits display, large 90Wh battery, 1x16GB and you can add a second 1x16GB straight away and don't need to keep 2x8GB for warranty. A much better deal than the previous Thinkbook in this budget that was available some time ago

Thanks for you input!

What is the equivalent of that card?
10th Apr
The A2000 laptop GPU should be similar to the consumer grade RTX 3050 Ti, though these are more optimised for 3D CAD work rather than gaming.

I got the rtx 3070ti version of this with 64gb ram. Great workhorse of a laptop but the battery life is terrible, just fyi. I have the 4k screen too which doesn't help further.

Is your model a ThinkPad or a Legion?
10th Apr
It’s a massive 16 incher
It’s a business laptop
But it doesn’t have a number pad?

It’s for graphic design, rather than number crunching. The HP Z Book Studio range is the same.
10th Apr
Good workhorse

Very nice deal, I have one of these they are absolutely top quality.

Looks tempting

Swish, as a desktop replacement. A 13-14 inch deal, oh please...

Very nice deal.

Two NVMe slots is nice.
So is the gradual return of 16:10 to laptops.
Never did get what kind of work workload could benefit from having the batteries drained by the dGPU though. At least an A2000 isn't like the MX450s which were often slower than the iGPU they were bundled with.

Not heard of IT Bay until recently. Anyone used them before?

I have, about a year ago I bought one of the folding screen Lenovo X1 fold laptops from them for 500 quid, they were well over a grand everywhere else. I also got 2 of the Lenovo snapdragon laptops for my kids at Xmas. I couldn't find anyone who beat them on price and have had no issues so far ordering from them!

The Lenovo 16” WQXGA screen is an absolute beaut.

Shame the accessory cashback is only for businesses
11th Apr
Anyone bought any of the qualifying business cashback items?
Edit should of said that aren't overpriced and are worth having like a dock... (edited)

Is this the same laptop at £2899?
11th Apr
From what I can see it’s the same generally but your link has 32gb RAM and 1TB SSD. Easy to change the OP deal to match TBH

The warranty is 3 year premier which I think is the same

However the OP deal model has the a2000 GPU which appears to be a better spec

I am very tempted. Was looking at ASUS zen book pro 16 4070 but this is so tempting. My concern is warranty and I would perhaps look to upgrade to 4 years. (edited)
11th Apr
Would this be ok for the odd game? Say Xbox game pass gears 5 etc? I would upgrade RAM if that helps. The a2000 seems decent but not specifically for gaming.
11th Apr
Guys, How does this compare against the DELL Inspiron Plus 7630 with the RTX 3050 Graphic card option ? dell.com/en-….ds
I dont need a gaming computer, just an office based with a bit of photo imaging for a website etc. (edited)
11th Apr
I believe the a2000 card is similar to 4060 from other threads but think maybe moot for you . 3 year premier support is a big plus for the Lenovo. Dell offer this at a extra price but it’s on special it seems (once you add to basket) (edited)
11th Apr
Is this a better deal than the P14 one?

Hello friendly Lenovo people, what do people think of the spec for this price?

i think the original deal on the P1 is better value.
