Lenovo IdeaPad Deals & Offers

Got a replacement as the first one was damaged. Replacement also showing signs of minor comestic damage. Asked for another replacement but now out of stock. Restoring to see if they will take any money off this one I have otherwise will have to go back. Has anyone else who ordered had the same issue?

anyone who received theirs can comment on how quite/load fan gets? I received mine and it looks like fan makes loudish noise most of the time, I have 6 years old Asus laptop and i never hear fan going on that one, but this Lenovo from start up its just makes noise then it goes quite and then it starts again even when i have multiple pages open not lick im pushing it to the limit or anything. Just wonder if thats normal. Thanks

Gone UP in price to £539!!!?

Thanks for taking the time. I'll go ahead and purchase as I'm not a gamer at all :)

That's pretty decent for the price (other than it not having 16gb ram) but if you can wait for buying a laptop the next generation of ryzen 5 CPUs have come out but the laptops aren't really out. If you plan on doing any intense work on it (gaming, video editing, rendering) then you'll see a huge boost in performance from the new laptop. If it's just for everyday use this above linked laptop will be fine for it.

Crap battery

Just paid £346 direct from lenovo for the amd ryzen 3 version

I'd get minimum 8gb ram 256GB hard drive. 128gb hard drive is too low once Windows and updates are installed. You'll probably be left with no more 95gb there after.

Looks like it is, ive just editied it!

This has 8GB RAM. No? https://www.argos.co.uk/product/1979824 https://ao.com/product/81n50058uk-lenovo-laptop-silver-69006-251.aspx https://psref.lenovo.com/Detail/IdeaPad/ideapad_C340_15IWL?M=81N50058UK#

The actual little plug gets warm? The charger brick gets warm (that's normal) and the bottom of the laptop gets warm (where the battery is, that's normal). I haven't noticed the actual little plug getting warm. It is incredibly difficult for my 9yr old to unplug, which is such a silly design flaw. My box came with a Lenovo sticker sealing it, and I haven't noticed any faults on the laptop itself.

Yeah that's it. I found the same and a bit odd. Did you notice how warm it gets when its plugged in? Going to have to v carefully when removing in/out of the actual laptop to avoid bending the element. I found a hairline crack in mine upon opening the box. Did you notice that your packaging had been re sealed? I found that 2 large stickers had been removed from the surface of the box.

You mean the power adapter? It’s a big one that plugs in directly, a bit unwieldy. The plug that goes into the laptop is horribly tight, it’s really weird.

Nice one. Can I ask what type of adaptor you got? Was it a large rectangle shape, roughly 8 cms by 6cms.

Installed CloudReady (basically turns it into a ChromeBook), and everything works 100% perfectly. The trackpad is *amazing*, silky smooth, two finger scrolling works very smoothly. The 1080p is really nice, gorgeous resolution. Boots up really quickly, and is blindingly fast once logged in. It is a perfect ChromeBook for £349. Unbeatable.

CPU wise maybe i5 is faster but if i recall correctly, Ryzen 7 3700u has Vega 10, which is comparable to MX250. So it is a trade-off whether you prefer better CPU or iGPU.

I was wondering about that - most of the benchmarks put the i5 ahead of the Ryzen 7 3700u, around 20% faster (there are a few specific multi-core tasks where the Ryzen will come out on top), but the trade-off is the fact that you get an SSD that's half the size. I guess it comes down to whatever you're going to use it for. Okay, might just keep looking.

Is it really that difficult to turn S mode off? I thought it could be done in about a minute. Not exactly the biggest hardship.

Good call Lazy. Would be horrible to get this home and then realise you need to faff around removing W10 S*** edition.

I agree but it's just an FYI in case anyone bought it without knowing ;)

As long as the unit is less than 14 days old, or from when you raised the complaint, then all you should need to do is tell the customer sevice person you speak to that you want to return the laptop and they do the rest. Winthin a few days you would be e-mailed the necessary documentaion that you have to print out including the return address and decide which day you want it collected from your home address.

Yeah I know, I'm trying for a full refund currently being messed around thou in a loop with different people from customer services. Asked 3 times for the RMA so far being told they will get back to me. I'm contacting my credit card company tomorrow too. Yeah I ordered the gaming version. They are stating that as it was customised, I added the free ram upgrade, better screen and additional hard drive that it becomes custom and therefore doesn't have the leds. To me that's rubbish.

You can just simply return it within 14 days if you are not happy with it at no cost to you. They will arrange collection and then fully refund once it has been received. It will normally be returned to the Netherlands, so nornally you would get your money back in a week or so. The gamming version, assuming that is what you orderd, would normally come with the backlit keyboard. Do you not have a copy of what you ordered which would have been e-mailed on completion of the order. It would normally state if the keyboard was backlit. In my own case I am still waiting to see what they are offering to do, but will most likely return it for a refund.

How are you getting on, I hope better than me. Its appalling service being lied to time and time again and still being told the keyboard was optional apart from the fact I ordered every upgrade I could and the led keyboard should be as standard. Going to get hold of my credit card company seems my only choice now. Or have to live without the keyboard that all over the Web site makes the gaming series. Gutted tbh

Your right. And customer services have confirmed the same on Facebook as no reply thus far on email. See what options they give me saying will get back to me in 48hours as they look into. Its a little thing the back lighting but was disappointed as they look smart. That's shocking what you have had. The build date on this one is the 4th of May so did well to receive so soon. But perhaps they have ran out of stock of the lighting keyboards and scrapping together the components. I've noticed the 15inch has gone off sale today. For interest this is it. Defo ordered the gaming L340

Combination of lowly 768p screen and non-UK merchant = avoid.

Says Code has Expired :(

Very poor deal OP. I suggest you cancel and look through laptop deals on HUKD. At this price point at minimum you should get 1080p and frankly there have been cheaper prices for similar specs that have an IPS display. To me this is a £275-300 machine.

It is telling me the code is expired

£39199! Jeepers :O

Reviews on Amazon bit iffy

Basically The Deal Is Still Alive. What U Need To Do Is Write FH6HCI01 In The Search Box Then U Will Get The Discount Price Page.

£449 ........not alive?

It's showing as £449 for me...

Personally I would keep a look out for Ryzen 5 deals at this price range

I wish i was sorted. About 8 emails, conversion with customer services, complaints, Facebook team etc and still waiting for acknowledgement of the error, no joy and waiting for acceptance I can return for my money back.

Got mine (stock L340-151RH, not bespoke) with keyboard backlighting. Hope you get a result with CS.

Be interested in people who have got theirs if you got the ambient lighting like the website says. Mine has come today with a plain silver keyboard and no back lighting. Struggling with customer services at the moment.

Have Lenovo’s for work PCs for years. Not once, ever has anyone opened it flat for anything (lol) (lol) .

Yeah good stuff as long as its easy to upgrade. Yes i believe the HDD is an option but the do it yourself kit costs £50 from lenovo so better to just pay for a larger m.2 drive that £50 would get you 512gb anyway nowadays

Let's face it Intel is just low end garbage for laptops. I wouldn't even consider this for any price. The performance is from 10 years ago.

The Lenovo deals are decent and all but after they pushed my delivery date back to 5 weeks time. I cancelled and bought a gaming laptop from Hughes.

Thank you for your response I might just give it a try do you know which membership is better besides? Obviously won’t qualify for the trade one but I work in one of the professions mentioned on the individual one is it any different to just paying £15 & buying online

Got my Costco membership around 6 months ago and I have to say it is an amazing trade-off for the value you get. They sell everything in big packs which makes it cheaper at the end of the day but more important high end quality big packs! Its very much inspired by the american supermarkets where you end up spending the day looking around for things you dont normally get in the regular supermarkets for a decent good deal...not to mention their exclusive and until the stock ends deals which are very tempting to throw some bucks to get. Only con I can see is that when you ready to check out do sum it up as the total can get quite high due to the "big packs" when compared to your regular daily shopping (which is only natural when you are getting an entire box of wine).

Sorry in advance if this is the wrong place to ask I just wanted to know whether people thought it was worth buying the Costco Individual membership Are there any bargains to be had & do we actually save money to shop there? Thank you x

Thanks very much. That looks like a good bet.

How about the Lenovo Ideapad 3 15? https://www.lenovo.com/gb/en/laptops/ideapad/s-series/IdeaPad-3-15ARE05/p/88IPS301432 I actually ordered one myself last week with the spec below which seems similar to what you’re looking for. This spec comes in at about £450 but u will get 10% off if you sign up to the newsletter. Another option to bring down the price further is to remove Windows as an OS and opt for Free Dos which’ll bank £90. But then u will need to download and install Windows yourself if you know how to do it. Please also note the long shipping period (5-6wks). Hope this helps.

I'm looking to replace an almost 7yr old laptop (with SSD added 2yrs ago - which made a massive difference). Assuming it continues to work I'm going to wait a few months as appreciate it's a seller's market at the moment. It is used for basic tasks (web and my wife's work - i.e MS Office) but I'd like to get something that is somewhat future proof so it (hopefully) lasts 5yrs+. It doesn't need to be very portable so not fussed about screen size or weight. In terms of specs and with future-proofing in mind (durability and specs) what do people think would be a good bet? I'm thinking an SSD is a must (prob go for 256GB but have only used about 70-odd of current one), min 8GB and probably a Ryzen 5 3000 series chip? Is that processor overkill? I'm hoping to spend around 400 once the market is kinder but would be willing to pay more if a particular brand/model is recommended for longevity/durability (ie those aimed at the business sector maybe?). I'd be very grateful for any views.

The HP really is a budget offering. Case is sprayed silver plastic, wears in minutes in your bag. Screen is awful. 1080p or not. And whatever way they have the markings on the keyboard, it's impossible to see the decals? And the sound, considering it is a 'plus point', useless, even by laptop standards...

Thanks. I can understand the specs of a product on a product page, and do some googling to get an idea of performance if I don't know to then make suggestions, but of course real world usage can tell a different story. So yeah might be best getting the Lenovo.
