OMG, been waiting for this deal on a thinkpad!

I maxed out all specs for a total of 1160.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1...sp=sharing

That's 4k display, 5850U, 48gb ram, "backlit keyboard" WAN LTE card, and card reader!
Took the 128gb ssd, will be swapping for something better!

Make sure you choose the backlit keyboard, it's not obvious that it doesn't include it!

The difference between 32gb ram and 48gb ram was $130, all the 32gb ram modules on amazon were more than $130 so getting it from the factory is a better deal!
(edit found a better deal on ram module than paying lenovo for it).

I will be swapping out the SSD, I am going to put a Samsung 980 Pro 1TB in her!

12 months no interest payments! it's a deal man!

This is arguably the best deal for a Highspec Thinkpad I've seen since Black Friday!

btw make sure you go throu R10 for extra 8% cashback and enable your SD extension!

Ok...popular thread... but folks on this thread seem like Scrooge when it comes to giving reps. Big Grin

But its Christmas - so here is a hack to still get this deal from Santa...

I tried and worked - Ofcourse its YMMV

1. On the cart screen, convert the cart to a Quote, you should see the option at the bottom of the screen once signed in

2. Then go to the quote in your account. Convert the quote to a cart.

3. Checkout with the discounted price.

The quote won't work if you try to create it on the checkout screen.

Attached snapshot of a dummy order I made.

Merry Christmas! Smilie

Good info, but I still would not take a chance. nod

"Slickdeals.net You have given out too much reputation in the last 24 hours, try again later. Limit is 10 give reps per day" Will rep once it resets.
I guess it's up to the person what they feel comfortable doing.

I've built Dell Laptops from scratch, Latitude 7470s, 7490s, all parts can be bought off ebay or from salvaged laptops with broken screens etc, so I'm not concerned swapping drives.

Like the RAM, I bought it with the max 48gb, not cause I can't install my own ram, the price difference for an OFF Name brand vs OEM didn't make sense to me.

Business laptops like the Dell Latitude and Lenovo Thinkpads are made more or less modular unlike the Consumer counterparts. the idea is so an IT Dept can service and maintain them to a certain extent, these laptops use modern philips screws and have replaceable parts like m.2 wifi cards, ssds, and battery.

Manual for those looking at upgrade options: https://download.lenovo.com/pccbb...hmm_en.pdf

SSD is a M.2 2242 for those going with the 128G as recommended. (Page 79)

Yes, I hold high level certifications and I've built dozens of older computers and all types of PC's. One important thing I learned is that some brands of RAM do not work with certain motherboards. Checking hundreds of reviews ahead of time, along with other research helps increase the chances of proper compatibility.

In general, it makes sense to pay more for high quality components. Less headaches in the future. I really do not like headaches/issues.

It's a 2280 slot though - so all drives would work

Correct - there is a bracket for the existing 2242. I suppose could have been more clear.

How does it compare with the Costco Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7i Pro 14" Touchscreen Laptop for $900? Which deal is better?

Thank you for the Idea. I have ordered one with Similar config. Instead of 48gb ram, I went with 32gb and 512SSD. It came to $1172

I was trying to add a student discount of 5% but was told that the floor price of this laptop is $969.59. they cannot lower it more than the floor price.

You can do a 5% Paypal discount through Chase and 8% cashback from R10 as previously suggested.

This is not a gaming laptop. It's a business laptop.

Last year I gave in and did a battery replacement ($50) and upped the wifi chip ($30) so it supports the new standards, and it made a major difference in my quality of life with the thing. It was very simple, as the wifi, battery, and SSD are all easily accessible and unscrewed after removing the rear panel. I'd recommend it!
Oh interesting. Good idea. I think it's time for a new PC for me but if it works then that's great you were able to do that and save a ton of $$
