Review:

Keyboar deck still a bit soft IMO. Layout also requires some time to get used to

15% not bad

You can exploit this actually as long as someone has a student card

How to be applicable for that using the student card?

What's the steps to take to get the student discount.

talk to their online live chat at the website.

they will guide on how to proceed

Just cancel my legion Y730 order due to ridiculous shipment lead time.
Ordered on 18Feb, date of expect shipment keep changing and now the status is asking wait until May....

Probably a lot of backorders

They just inform due to serious shortage of part.
Din even contact me about the situation, just self update the lead time until I check the order.
Sigh, got to look for other model as my current laptop already have buyer.

Thinkpad - but wait that might not be good for you...Illgear is the other one

Will see if the cancellation is successful or not. Only decide.

They won't update you if you didn't ask them

Yeah men...thats kind of suck
I made full payment during 18Feb and still get nothing till now when they advertise ship out in 2 weeks.

You wouldn't be charged , that one is pre-auth

My card was only charged when they shipped it out - FYI

It's actually deducted my credit on my card. But I think is still under pending transaction. Not often use card, so I'm not sure how's that difference. Instead of keep quite, I actually feel better if they try to offer me other model...

why y730 if i may ask..
besides thunderbolt 3 and rgb..

get y530 better.

cheaper, both same 1050ti.

build quality is decent also although plastic and not aluminium body like y730..

y530 has numeric keypads too.

for y530 vs y730, same specs except for cpu i5 vs i7. the difference is 1k.. if i5 good enough for your usage, i dont see the reason to pay 1k more for thunderbolt 3, rgb and metal body..

unless you really need the i7 cpu, then its only 200 more than the y530, only then its a considerable choice..

It's pre-auth . Basically they would hold it for 7 Days . After that they would release - and charge it later

Actually because of numberpad also, I do quite alot typing for work and a push left keyboard is not ideal for me. In this price range, the spec, design and cooling is almost perfect for my need.
