It's not just about the gamer look
Legion is built better than the IdeaPad Gaming

Stronger body & a much much better heatsink to handle the heat from both the CPU & GPU

Yea I saw your post on this, but the price differs by a lot. It will be staying on my desk most of the time so the built is not really an issue for me. Don't see anyone complain about its thermal issues so far, hopefully a cooler pad could help keeping the temperature in control.

I didn't really "Build Your Own", it was the only "Ready to Ship" model that have in the website and I bought it, but before check out it got mentioned this was a "Build Your Own" model... Meh I didn't even get to touch up on any spec (the website didn't allow, I think this is a package deal) but whatever as long as I get a laptop now, little sis seriously in need of a portable PC  console.gif

I change the processor and screen, have to wait 8 weeks.

Today I just emailed to relevant CS to claim my refund. And they replied:

"Please be informed that I have submitted the 7% refund request to our management for approval.
Kindly allow the process to take place in 1 - 3 business days.
The funds will be reversed back to your bank account in 2 -3 weeks based on your bank's policy once the request has been approved."

they offer 3% refund for me due to delay, received it in about 6 weeks. So I paid RM2778 for the custom specs below, overall very satisfied thumbsup.gif

3% refund is their most basic negotiation.
I did negotiation with them using concept of opportunity cost to get 5%. Finally today approved 7% for me.
*
I see, that's nice. thumbup.gif

I din negotiate further because my purchase is not really delayed that much, at first it was supposed to be delivered in April, that's why I made the complain. But after that the process got expediated and got delivered mid March, and they still honored the refund so I consider that as bonus already biggrin.gif

What's wrong with it being IBM?

In fact I personally don't really like Asus due to their poor cooling peformance
also, Dell is pretty expensive here
*
I have a Asus ultrabook before, still working till today. The touchpad is lousy from day 1, sensitivity issue. Only 2 years + of usage, already starts slowing down, hot to the touch at the bottom, not sure if it's due to cooling issue that leads to throttlling of that already slow M3 cpu. 4gb ram not upgradable, not fit for today's task anymore.

just go to lenovo website thru shopback and can get cashback after purchase?
btw around how many percent cashback you get from shopback?
*
Yea, have u used Shopback before? Cashback will be confirmed after 3 months or earlier. Then u can cash out from your Shopback account.

I bought mine for about RM2.8k, cash back around RM700 (40% lol) from multiple clicks as I was hesitating whether to buy or not, so clicked several times. Probably due to bug but no idea why they confirmed all of them.

noted that,I installed the shopback add on extension on chrome ,click activate after purchase then only can get cashback is it correct?

i purchase via Shopback app from my android phone, not sure if that's the cause of the bug.

just select lenovo via shopback app then purchase as usual, that's what I did. Altho I did add to cart and remove it multiple times as I was hesitating which parts to upgrade and wanted to check the final price sweat.gif

QUOTE(pastadudde @ Apr 29 2021, 09:41 AM)
After reading all the posts about CASHBACK, I wonder if I should cancel my current order for a Ideapad Gaming 3 15 BYO and re-order using SHOPBACK.

My order was done on March 29, initial estimated shipping date was June 30 (at the time the website said my order would be shipped in 4 weeks). Right now the estimated shipping date has been bumped up to May 20th.

So I'm really afraid of canceling and re-ordering because I'm afraid of having to wait another possible 10 weeks from now to get my laptop,  even though the website says it can ship within 3 weeks.

Furthermore, the total price I would be paying with both the SHOPBACK refund (SB website says Lenovo can get up to 5 percent cashback) + BIRTHDAY discount code is pretty much the same as what I paid for when I ordered in March + the 5 percent refund that Lenovo said they would give.

So I'm not sure if it is worth the risk - any opinions?

*Not sure if I can get the 40 percent cashback that gu~wak_zhai said they got, because it seems like a bug that may not be easily replicated.
Just asking from your experience... can you see the total cashback amount before you confirm purchase? Or is it only shown after you purchase?
also, do you use the Chrome extension, or just the website?
*
After the purchase was done, those cash backs were initially pending, so I thought maybe only one will get thru, but after 2 months all of them got confirmed. I'm quite sure mine was due to bug, not sure about others? Anyone else uses Shopback app to purchase like I did?

QUOTE(BeastX @ Apr 29 2021, 10:54 AM)
700 of 2.8k... is 25%.... not bad as the base is currently at 3.5% or 4.5%...
*
Yes haha u r right, 25% not 40% my bad, 1/4 of 2.8k what was i thinking lol doh.gif

Will the shopback directly show pending status directly after purchase?

After awhile I think, same goes to any Shopee purchase I did via shopback.

I use code frontliner, which was the best that time.
