Previously got someone in the same thread mentioned about using ShopBack and it is available for Lenovo and can get 6%

So what I did:

I went to ShopBack website (register and login), search Lenovo / y7000 (I forgot), then you will be see Lenovo 6% appear

Click the Lenovo and I am directed to the same Lenovo website.

Searched y7000, clicked all the addons, customized my laptop and proceed with payment using the discount code as well.

Completed the purchase using the same tab (Without knowing whether ShopBack is tracing, just following their guide using the same tab till the end)

After I have completed, nothing appeared from ShopBack until few hours later when I check recent activity and it shows that I have purchased XXX laptop from Lenovo, cash back amount xxx, status - Pending confirmation from Lenovo.

This is my first time using ShopBack also, so I dont know how reliable they are also and how everything works and I havent get my money back from them yet. Still waiting =)

P.S. After Purchase Lenovo will ask you create an account with Lenovo and you can trace your purchase there, and thats what I did, and I can see my purchase being prepared and Lenovo personnel can trace/edit my purchase so I dont think ShopBack led me to some bad sites. phew..

Is tong fang chassis better?

Aftershock is really far for me.

Sorry for asking to much questions, is there Any issues with current Clevo chassis?

No one is better, also depends on model

What do "Reserved" and "In Consideration" categories mean?

reserved: waiting to be added / no longer available
in consideration: mixed reviews

Seemed like I made a mistake, Metabox Alpha X is based on Clevo NH58, which is the same as Level 51's Forge 15.

Your review on linus had been really positive, I guess that's a pretty good buy over mainstream brands like Lenovo, Asus, Gigabyte etc? I might be able to grab with with additional discount at about Rm5000 with i7 9750H and 2060 with 1.5TB SSD in total.

It's a good budget model

Why not buy here?

I am staying pretty close to their service centre so any issue is a drive away. If not, I'll get Level 51 Forge 15 Pro.

just received my laptop yesterday, apparently ups didnt cover a lot northern area so they passed my item to local courier and it make some delay.

bro did u undervolt your laptop? and did u uninstall bloatware/preinstalled software that come from factory? it kind of annoying and i want to remove it (like the McAfee antivirus, i preferred windows defender)

is there list of safe to remove bloatware from lenovo?

Off topic: Mind if I contact you for some thermal testing? Can guide you to undervolt as well

i already pm for discussion.

I not familiar with undervolt so not doing it yet. Currently busy in work so not really have time to learn it from ZM Fong yet.
Also my laptop current location is not a good ventilate area (temporarily location). So not doing any serious thermal testing yet (also need to learn )

Only briefly test with HOI4 & SWTOR only (game default setting, laptop in balance mode) .
The temp is about 50C+ to 70C+ (CPU), GPU is 50C++ to 60C (check with MSI Afterburner, I only learn how to show the OSD, will learn to tune when I free later).
Both fan work well, just randomly will spin faster during game, also the right fan is seem blow more wind/stronger than the left fan, not sure is it becoz of the right fan is bigger than left fan...so far maybe so good kot...

I not uninstall any bloatware yet, maybe will do it later time.

Hi TS, planning to get either LEVEL51 Forge Elite or Illegear Raven soon.
Budget maximum 4.8k.
You recommended alrdy, but both product website got spec and configurable options and now I'm confused balik. Can help?

Hi may I know why isn't HP gaming pavilion 15 included in the list? Is it bad?

yes

Btw if i want to buy y530 or y540 where should i get it? Online or physical store? Is Lowyat plaza a good place to buy it?

depends how urgently you want it.
if can wait, checking out official online stores might bring surprises.

cheers.

online, got customize (Lenovo website) or premade models

This is what I did before i purchase my y7000

I recommend you to browse through the official Lenovo site to customize the specs that you really want, and after entering discount codes to see whats the final price.

After that you can go survey Lowyat Plaza to see the model, touch it feel it and ask the person to explain all the things you want to know. Then try to customize the laptop with the sales person and they will give u their final price and the freebies they can give you.

I think buying there have the benefit of getting your laptop on the spot, and you can check the laptop.

Buying online got the benefit of buying it cheaper, the steps was written earlier.. the cons is that you have to wait loh, and i am still waiting it, also hope that the laptop got no issue when it arrive..

Hello sifu. Not sure if I should ask here, but may I know is there a difference between legion y7000 and y7000se?
