You mean the coupon codes under the price tab are better than education discounts? I've never seen "NIGHT" before, but over the last couple of days I've seen a lot of "SCHOOL" and "WEEKEND" codes.

The Lenovo store site is damn weird. Sometimes, right below the price section you can see small options you can tick (before you enter the customize page) that offer upgraded warranty or backpack for extra RM$1. The strange thing is that it can change whenever. Sometimes I can simply Ctrl-R refresh the page and suddenly more/different options will appear. 

Is there some special technique/timing for best pricing?
Feels like those games where you enter cheat codes. I wonder if got God Mode or not.  laugh.gif

NIGHT would be available for Sun to Thurs night after 9pm based on my observation. However, it only applies to selected model but not all.

While for the bonus options, I'm not quite sure is it keep on changing from time to time, but it differs for product. For some you add on RM1 to get their wireless mouse but some you add on to get normal USB mouse. Then some warranty upgrade is just RM1 but others is RM299 or more.

So far I found out that for certain model you can get the cheapest price with the code "NIGHT".

Hmm, interesting. I will try again after 9:00PM later.

So far, the best I've been able to get X390 with these options;
- Core i5-8265U, 16GB RAM 256GB NVMe, 1080p 300Nits Anti-Glare Screen, Backlit Keyboard 65W Adapter
- 3yr Premier support with on-site NBD upgrade from 1Y Depot/CCI (+RM1)
- 3yr Accidental Damage Protection Add-On (Free)
- 3yr Sealed Battery Add-on (+RM1)
- Basic backpack (+RM1)

Total = RM4,241.80 (free standard shipping) after applying the "SCHOOL" coupon code.
For now, I'm keeping that browser tab open and have also saved the Cart ID number. Maybe I can do better later, but the accidental damage protection and free 1-time battery replacement is quite attractive in this package. The backpack is probably useless, but I can give it away to someone.

Is that every time when Lenovo delay shipping, the reason (EXCUSE?) is part shortage? Frustrated waiting for mine..

Don’t buy the customisation specs Loh.
Just buy the instant packaged will do.
Mine taken almost a month, if you can wait it’s worth for you.

To me , if you can better don’t use eGPU , the laptop very hurt, cause due to work like no tomorrow’s, the fan blower kick in all time.
Again the battery keep charging from the 100W from TB3.
You will feel that whole laptop too warm, very uncomfortable at all.

Nope, from official Lenovo Malaysia website.

Plan to get it with the 45% sales if it applicable, but currently the website showing Sold Out.

This model has been sold out, no longer will be available again.
Try to look on T495 for alternative option

But the standard specs for so many models are shit. I'm not 80 years old, so I don't need gigantic fuzzy fonts of a 768p display. 8GB RAM cannot even dedicate enough for my virtual machines or containers. 45W charger and wait till my hair falls off for the thing to fully charge? No, thanks. The standard specs are for Lenovo to clear old parts inventory, me thinks. whistling.gif

Your order took almost a month?! shocking.gif
Now I'm scared to order already. The checkout page for mine (yes, I have the same tab open for half a day sweat.gif ) says 4 or 5 September. Cannot trust their estimate ah?

NEVER TRUST THEIR ESTIMATE!
I will be travelling for study at overseas start 8th Sept. Placed my order on 21st Aug, system show shipping time two weeks, estimated shipping between 29 & 30 Aug. Then after order was placed it showed that estimated shipping on 30th Aug and estimated arrival of 6th Sept. Two days later become 10th Sept shipping and 18th arrival. Might be due to their sales running now and that's why take longer time to process.

However, the price and specs are really attractive enough and worth the wait. Just that I'm on rush and couldn't have it now...

Will check it out. Any idea what the differences for model T and L?

And anyone here know whether the Citibank 45% applicable for which model? Just have a chat with Lenovo, the representative mention that the promo no longer available. But Citibank website clearly stated promo last until 30 September.

UPDATE :

Mine just got updated again, which it backs to 31st Aug ship date (1day later than initially mentioned date but way faster than previous update).
But it put me in a difficult situation again...
