Lenovo IdeaPad Deals & Offers

Ok thanks

https://www.checknow.co.uk/searchresult.php?itemnumber=7362026 No stock anywhere

I'll let you work out what happened there.

Dad in mum out

Out of stock everywhere. Expire

Expired at 9pm

I cannot see ANY reference anywhere to any sort of refund, neither cash nor credit. Maybe it's my add blocker; but it was the same sort of shenanigans that made me back off the last Very deal that interested me. Hence, I've never purchased from Very.

Thanks, but I would like to see it in writing somewhere, making it as clear as you have.

I bought my Apple Mach last year in this way, basically u get cashback paid as credit into your account within 28 days, you have interest free for a number of months, so after 28 days interest free u only have the pay the price of the laptop less 100. So in essence it’s better than back back

I don't think it does. You probably get the interest back making it the price you see, rather than £100-00 less. I notice they are giving new customers or cards 20% off, that could equate to a similar price.

£429 now

Put a ssd in

i3-8130U > i5-7200U, so heat added. (https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/Intel-Core-i3-8130U-vs-Intel-Core-i5-7200U/3225vs2865)

An SSD doesn't have any moving/ mechanical parts. You probably have the hard drive version.

It’s not the same for £349. The processor is weaker for that price.

Does anyone know if this has a spare m2 port, as some of the ideapads did, as this would certainly help, but would increase the overall cost? EDIT - apparently not: https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/lenovo-ideapad-110s-116-inch-notebook-155-sold-by-tech-sense-and-fulfilled-by-amazon-3021839#comments tipsy1973 20th Aug You can get the 110s from argos ebay for £80. oh the 110s has the ability to add a m.2 ssd. I bought one last week and got a 120gb ssd from amazon for £26. The 120s does not have the ability to add the internal drive.

Agreed it needs the 64gb drive

Then don't use Windows. You are knocking the OS not a decent bit of kit for the price.

Windows S

Very risky buying any laptop with only 32Gb of "hard disk / SSD". When Windows 10 updates to replace the whole of Windows (which it is due to do this autumn with the latest Windows 10 update) there is often not enough room on the hard disk / SSD to hold both the old version and new version of Windows and it cant update. Numerous updates on the internet about it Here is one as an example: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/askjack/2017/jan/05/what-is-the-best-way-to-deal-with-windows-10-updates-on-a-32gb-netbook

See comment above: £599 - £399 =£200 extra Or put another way 50% extrayes you will get more bang for your buck when you spend £200 extra on a laptop or 50% extra on anything Yes, thank you for correcting me - i was also refferring to other deals (ebuyer.com/805720-hp-250-g6-i5-laptop-2sy46es-2sy46es-abu?/utm_source=hotukdeals&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=hotukdeals, hotukdeals.com/deals/acer-aspire-5-a515-51-72ur-laptop-156-core-i7-7500u-8gb-256gb-ssd-windows-10-refurb-459-tesco-ebay-2998471, hotukdeals.com/deals/ideapad-520s-intelr-coretm-i5-8gb-ram-128gb-ssd-14-inch-full-hd-laptop-nvidia-geforce-gt-940mx-2gb-44999-very-2993053) and should have been clearer in my comment.

"That's why you can spend £100 more for something like this ... " Are you sure about that?. That's more like an additional straight £200 man?. Or am I missing the point somewhere ... lol.

Your informed opinion is welcome. Can you use that wisdom to suggest something of same spec cheaper or something better for same price? It is a forum for discussion, nonetheless.

£399 is a horrible price for this spec.

Fair enough pros and cons with some of those deals as well. The very deal was a good offer but I think it has expired now as well. You are right that some people are better spending a little extra and some a lot extra. I think this is a good basic browser and processing PC. At the end of the day that is why there are so many manufacturers offering so many models just to try and confuse people and keep people guessing what they should be buying.

How ryzen vs nvidia gpus

Have to agree with the above comment the cooling is pants, The ryzen cannot stretch its legs this performs below the i5 version and only just better then the i3. Such a shame this has throttling issues as the build quality is good at the price range

I have an older version of this laptop but the chassis looks largely the same. It's a good laptop and performs well, but on mine the fans are quite loud when they come on and it gets quite hot underneath. Battery isn't great either, that is probably less applicable to this newer model though. Don't waste your money on Lenovo's supposed warranty either - it's an absolute joke.

This laptop has awful cooling, the 2500u in this performs half as well as other similar laptops with 2500u. They are charging a premium for power you can't use.

Love Lenovo but dislike amd, love 256ssd but would prefer 16gb ram, over all tho, pretty hot machine mate

Lol, I'm not, I just thought it to be a good price,saw it and posted it, maybe I have too much time on my hands. I'm currently using an old Samsung chrome book I bought 4 years ago, and it's still going strong for me. I'm more of a mobile phone person, so will probably stick to them from now on. Great to have people like you on hand to keep (non clued up) people like me in the loop *sort of speak* :)

If you are thinking of buying it, what will you plan to use it for? Maybe I can explain better, whether and how suitable it would be for you... (nerd)

Hmm Looking at the review model, that has more ram and also an ssd, so not EXACTLY the same model... " It packs an Intel Core i7-7700HQ CPU, paired with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti GPU, and augmented by a 256 GB NVMe SSD and 16 GB of DDR4 memory.  "

You know what it is, I could talk all day long about mobile phones, but everything you have just said there, I have no idea about, I'm not ashamed to say. But I appreciate your comments nonetheless, and maybe I should start learning the ins and outs of laptops and such like. Cheers :)

Looks quite good. But no OS, European keyboard, and buying from amazon abroad, may all bring it back on par with the UK retail prices... i7 good, 1050ti mediocre for gaming but probably OK for work and casual gaming (not AAA titles at full resolution and max settings). I was tempted as looking for a replacement laptop, with decent gaming (and reasonable work) capabilities, but for me, I think 1060 at 6gb is my personal minimum.

Did anyone go for this? I received mine but the battery life was awful so I'm sending it back

And you can pay for it over 12 months rather than upfront.

Yes, should be fine for your requirements. You will notice a big difference of speed if this is your first time moving to Solid State storage.

Depends what you use it for i3 to i5 is pretty considerable difference. I5s can be on par with some i7s however, but naturally i7s will extend much further and better

I disagree, 128gb is plenty for Windows and most apps, most people will now use cloud storage or external drives to store extra stuff. Plus, you can add an extra hdd or ssd in the sata slot if you have a spare drive

I wasn't really looking for them but I don't think so... That whole listing is a mess so many contradicting specs not to mention that all those reviews are for a different laptop :/ Great from what I can tell, I'm not much of a screen snob but I did go for this one over the cheaper model because of the screen and so far I think it was a wise investment... the viewing angles are pretty good and it's fairly bright for a new laptop.

How's the screen?

When you scroll down on that link, it states 8GB of RAM (but 4 in the title) and a resolution of 1366x768. Alos several reviewers say the noisy fan is on all the time as well.

Woow post it as a deal. Should get hot :D

Cheaper at Amazon ;) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lenovo-IdeaPad-320-14IKBN-14-Inch-Notebook/dp/B07515ZHV9 £325.97

I also bought one of these a few month ago at 329.99 as my work laptop and find it brilliant value for money. Not had it struggle with anything ive thrown at it, as long as your not expecting to play AAA titles on it. Its brilliant for documents, browsing and more lightweight programs, maybe even light photoshop work. SSD is the only thing which I wished was a bit larger but can't really complain at this price. With cloud storage you don't really need a lot of onboard storage anymore unless youre storing media. The screen is by far the best part of this laptop and brilliant for the price and the SSD mkes this blazing fast. As mentioned above, ignore the amazon revies about the fan. I have had mine months and never experienced that. I feel like those reviews are for the pentium model rather than this i3. As a network admin, my only real complaint was the lack of an ethernet port but I just bought a lenovo dongle off amazon for about £25 that converts usb-c to an ethernet port and a few USB ports and job done. All in all fantastic value and has restored my faith in the lenovo brand.

Bought one and had a play and with the ssd it's lightning fast and the screen is great quality too! Also all the bad comments on Amazon about the loud fan are incorrect imo

Just bought one of these thanks!! I'll see how it goes and I'll report back. It has some bad reviews on Amazon about the fan noise but I'm hoping it can't be that bad.

Yes, and the equivalent Yoga (which I bought) was at this price. It's *excellent*, and I believe the 320S is mostly the same thing but without the hinge and touchscreen.

It's a good laptop works well using office,outlook, even Photoshop occasionally it manges them well, its also compact for travel, however I paid £329 a few months ago.

Thanks, I tried BBC/ITV/Channel4/5 etc catch up on another low spec laptop and they all worked well. The new Sky Go app however was awful as it uses a ridiculous amount of resources. I suspect I would have the same problem with this laptop but for £140 it will do just about everything else I require it to do. Tempted. ;)

I tried it with iplayer in Firefox browser. Edge ate less CPU. Seemed fine. But the sound is dreadful on this machine.

Does anyone know if this any good for watching the likes of BBC iPlayer and Sky Go?

If all you have is £150 and need a laptop will at least a years warranty because you can't afford it breaking then this is perfect, personally I'd go second hand although this is awesome for a new price.

The keyboard on the HP Elitebook range is one of the best I've ever had, it's better than current ThinkPads, it also has proper touchpad buttons not a clickpad (which I never liked). If you're thinking about an upgrade, just look on eBay or similar sellers for a bargain ex-lease machine. There are plenty to be had and much better than buying new in terms of value.

I paid for mine 190£ back in december..but mine is full hd and 4gb instead of 8..still a bit slow, even with an SSD ..

I disagree.An IPS FHD screen is much better I just returned the HP pavilion as it was full HD but with a TN screen. The brightness and viewing angles were appalling

Thanks for the info I think I will go with the one from EBay Argos as it comes with a 12 month warranty.

The OP's Lenovo Laptop is a very decent Laptop, for very little money. :-)

Well, the Acer Laptop in your eBay link is definitely built from a better 'engine', lol. But it's not as to you as new though, as it's refurbished ... So it pretty much depends on as to how you feel about buying used Products in the first place really?. Otherwise the OP's Deal Laptop should be more than fine (on 'basic' setting), for the average user. (Which from what you initially asked, your son will be). :-)

It really depends on what you are using it for. I have one of these from the John Lewis internet deal and I basically use it for web browsing, Spotify, and Netflix. It handles all of that just fine. I agree if you are trying to use it for much more than that it would not be suitable.

Football manager? You can play that on your phone, why pay as much as that just to look at text in a game?

Apple turbo boost their processors??? Get outta here, they wouldn't dare due to the legalities of doing it, and why would they when they charge so much for their crap?

All I want is something to play football manager on :D Would this be capable or do I need to spend more?

Defo better with 64gb of hdd space. Im not sure about the second question. May have to do some digging around on that one
