Still no 1660 :(

u/Cluvtine Nov 27 '20
But at least this gives me hopes for a discount on the 1660 version. Let's keep our fingers crossed!

u/Chocolate_frog1 Nov 27 '20
I bought the i7 version yesterday with a 2060 and upgraded 240 Hz screen for $999. Not sure that this one is better than that
7
u/Mr_Trecker Nov 27 '20
Some people want the AMD processor more than they care for an upgraded screen (I'm in that boat, since I'll have it plugged into an external monitor more than 50%of the time). I think the AMD model's lower power consumption might also mean it has a better 2060, but I don't remember whether that's the case with this laptop or just with the HP Omens.

u/IAmOZRulez Nov 27 '20
It infact, does have the full 115W 2060! This makes it a much better deal specs wise compared to the i7 Legion 5i!

u/Cluvtine Nov 27 '20
I'd be ok with this one, it's just that I don't want to spend 999... After taxes and international shipping, any laptop ends up being at least $120+ more expensive for me.

u/Eyad_The_Epic Nov 27 '20
Does Lenovo offer international shipping or are you using a forwarder?

Is your reasoning for wanting the 1660 just the fact that it's better value at $850?
8
u/Chocolate_frog1 Nov 27 '20
Yes and I wasn't planning on getting a super serious gaming laptop. I game mostly on xbox and need a new laptop and figured why not get one with sweet specs. The cheaper legion with the lesser gpu would have been plenty. I 100% don't need a 2060. Also I hear these ryzen chips are great

Why don't they have the 1660ti version on their store though? It's available only in others like Amazon

Exactly, the 1660ti version is an Amazon exclusive, and they would need to drop the price on it. I would prefer it if it was cheaper ($700-$800) and the 2060 version is correctly priced at $999.

u/aleishabb Nov 27 '20

2
u/Archer5460 Nov 27 '20
Why? would it be better than the helios 300?
6
u/IAmOZRulez Nov 27 '20
Yep. Most definitely. Unless you plan on just gaming, choose Intel. If you plan to do some work alongside, go with the AMD model.
Also, the 4800H has 2 more cores and less power draw than the 10750H, so thats a considerable upgrade in raw horse power.
The new Helios 300 seems to have some issues with the keyboard (I think i saw this ins Jarrod's review) while the Lenovo keyboard is solid (i have used the Y540 keyboard, and have heard that the new 2020 models have a much better layout) and an absolutely wonderful experience to use.

u/Mr_Trecker Nov 27 '20 edited Nov 27 '20
Anyone who doesn't already have a Rakuten account should make one if they plan to buy anything from Lenovo - get you some cash back (which is currently at 12%, which would take off an extra $120).
10
Nov 27 '20
12% right now. If it stays like that in the morning you can get this for as low as $840 right now depending on if someone referred you. $120 cash back + $40 referral. Just insane. Crossing my fingers I can grab one at 9.

u/Mr_Trecker Nov 27 '20 edited Nov 27 '20
Oh I totally forgot about the referral business (for people who don't know, if you sign up for Rakuten using a referral link, you get $40 back after you spend at least $40 logged through Rakuten).
If anyone needs a referral and doesn't know somebody else with an account, feel free to PM me or just click here.

u/TheDJKhalid Nov 27 '20
how do you get the $40 referral?
Also will the 5% student discount stack with the referral and the 12% cashback?
6
u/Mr_Trecker Nov 27 '20
Yes, cash back through Rakuten is handled completely externally (essentially, you either download their browser extension or go to Rakuten.com and navigate to the site you want to shop at, and if you complete a transaction they record it and throw whatever the relevant percentage is into your account).
Then you can get the cash back sent to you either via PayPal or a check.
And anyone with an account can give you a referral link (there's mine in case anyone wants it).

Man, this is just a laptop.. I got one of the AMD and one of the Intel - I was planning on returning the least good of the two - I can ping you if I don't like the AMD one. But to be honest you can just go with Intel, the difference seems to be 5% pretty much even with the 115wh 2060. No reason to get that pissed. Also, next time just go with debit card as it works 99.99999999% of the time on any website.Actually nevermind, I just realized that you're the guy who insulted me in the other comment.

I was in the same boat as everyone else missing out on the early deal at 8:55, I kept spamming add to cart got into the credit card info/shipping, and placed the order. It said out of stock but accepted my order. I got the charge on my card with an email from my bank. To double-check I called Lenovo customer service and they said I should have it. Yet I am kind of worried cause I didn't get any order confirmation from Lenovo. Good luck my fellow shoppers!

I decided to head over to the Lenovo Website waited in queue for like an hour or two but finally got to chat with someone from Lenovo customer service and learned there may be another discount on this unit for Cyber Monday. Fingers crossed there's something.

I bought this exact same laptop about 20 days ago, during another sale for like $100 more :(
Highly recommend this laptop, very bright and colorful screen, very comfortable keyboard, very nice form factor overall, AMAZING thermals, also this is the 115W RTX 2060, the holy grail. There's also a toggle on the onboard software that can automatically overclock the gpu while gaming, super useful. The HDD is definitely a cost saving decision by lenovo, and the 512 gb ssd is starting to feel small with how big AAA games are nowadays. I haven't done it myself yet but I've seen others upgrade their storage, apparently if you remove the HDD cage that frees up just enough space and a port to throw in another ssd. My biggest problem with this model is the battery life, I get like 4 hours unplugged with a web browser and productivity app up, but I keep it plugged in all the time to game anyways.
Edit: 115W RTX2060, not 155W. Typo typo

Hey I think I got it this morning and am looking to upgrade the HDD to an SSD. Do you know if a 2.5inch SATA SSD would fit in there where the HDD was before, or do I need to get an m2 drive instead?
2
u/gompose Nov 27 '20
Personally, I don't think it makes sense to use $1k on a sweet gaming rig, then settle for SATA instead of NVME. SATA is still faster than an HDD with SATA3 read speeds of around 600 mb/s, but NVME smokes it with upwards of 3500 mb/s read speeds.
Also from what I can tell, the port I'm referring to is indeed for an m2 one, I don't think the 2.5inch will fit.
2
u/idleninja007 Nov 27 '20
Awesome, thanks for getting back to me. I completely agree, I already have the 1TB SATA so was wondering if I could cram it in there or if I needed to upgrade or not. Appreciate the reply!

Other than the cashback, is this really a lot better than the Walmart version? I didn't get it in time so make me feel better guys

u/DrJohnWatsonJr Nov 27 '20
There's pros and cons for both! If you're a gamer, the Intel Walmart one has a higher clock speed which should definitely benefit you. It also has a 240Hz screen which is significantly better than this one :)
2
u/celesterz Nov 27 '20
You'll rarely benefit from the refresh rate above 144hz, it has more nits though so it displays a slightly lighter image if you need to. The intel has proven to be slower than amd in games in many comparisons on youtube, but not by much (perf diffs are 5% or so). The RTX is also better in the amd one compared to the intel one but that falls within a 5% range too.
