I Just tested THINKSAVE is also working, make sure there is no space at the beginning and end of THINKSAVE
*
yes just tried again. able to use THINKSAVE . im pretty sure i checked for the spaces.

maybe because before this i am using my student account? idk though.

best thing is, i already paid using LIMITEDTIME

FUK. that is like almost rm200 in difference!

Just cancel the order then place a new order again using the THINKSAVE promo code
*
im currently chatting with the CS to cancel the order

but seems like there is price hike for like rm40 ish even with THINKSAVE

better than spending hundreds more .

EDIT

should i wait for my order to get cancelled first before making new order (they say need 3 working days for approval)

or i should just do it now?

To me order cancellation is faster through email to mycs@lenovo.com
No need to wait for approval, they will come back to me within a few hours to ask for confirmation that I want to cancel the order and after I reply to that email to confirm my cancellation, they will email me again in a few hours to notify that the order has been cancelled. No need to wait for 3 working days
That's up to you bro. If you have the funds, just proceed with the new order
The previous order will be cancelled anyway if you bought a custom to order unit not a pre-built unit

If you don't have the funds, just wait until the previous order is cancelled
*
thanks for your suggestions. my order has been cancelled.

btw I dont think I will proceed getting from lenovo. 8 weeks plus for shipping is too long. I am buying on behalf of other people (uni student), and the next semester is starting on march.

Why not buy the ready-to-ship unit that can be shipped in 3 - 6 business days?

I have a budget constraint. And I am actually buying on behalf of other people.

i know. i really wanted ips panel, but i really cant wait more than 8 weeks. also, the laptop is not for me. so ill just close one eye.

i went to lowyat today, the prices there are really expensive like 700+ in difference.

so... yeah. thats why i decided to get e15 back. even from dell online also 8 weeks+

If you are really on budget and have less time, here you go. you can get is even cheaper if you config it with 8gb ram. Ships in 4 weeks and some people report getting it in 2 weeks. JUST DON'T GO WITH TN, always IPS in a laptop. you will thank the community later.
*
yes. i hate TN.

but.. sigh.. I have already cancelled my order once. Now I need to do it again. I hope this will be the last time.

thank you though. i will changed to this instead. i really need the laptop asap.

Still headache which 1 more better performance between these 2 model.

My usage mostly excel data processing / company software / net browsing , movie and lite gaming.

3 main concern about selection of my next laptop.

AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U VS AMD Ryzen 5 4500U Processor - which better ?

TN Anti-glare 220nits  VS IPS, AntiGlare, LED Backlight - i hate the TN screen but option so limited.

Integrated Graphics VS AMD Radeon Graphics - any problem handling lite game/movie/editing?

My budget only around RM 2500 but will add some if budget allowed.
*
get the customizable e15. but changing to IPS will delay the shipping to more than 8 weeks.

like poster above, they recommend me getting the ideapad gaming 3 (since i can get it much faster). the only drawback for me is it is a bit heavier (2.2kg vs 1.7kg e15)

use THINKSAVE for e15 or use FRONTLINER for ideapad gaming 3

with coupon, both are individually priced around 2.3k

can you wait? if u cant, then you are in the same boat as me.

Yes, Currently 2 of my child need a PC for online class but only with 1 laptop.
1 use phone but will have problem when teacher give homework cause screen too small.

Buying at store price is ridiculous expensive with lower spec. 

Only thing worried me is when will Lenovo charge me cause order will be 1-2 months (may delay if pandemic become worse) to arrive but cr card already need to pay.
*
they will only charge your cc when they already shipped your laptop.

again, if u are fine waiting more than 2 months, then, e15 with ips will the best choice.

as for me, i cant wait. new semester is starting on march. ideapad gaming 3 is a bit tad heavier, but i dont think i have a better option unless im willing to spend 3k.

In a week, I made 3 orders. All success.

Maybe your card is not allowed to make oversea transaction. If that is the case, you need to ask your bank to enable it for you.

anyone has experience with buying the laptop that ships more than 8 weeks, but in the end they cancel your order because no more units available?

Last time, one of the CS did tell me about that. Yes, in case of they cant find parts or out of stocks, etc, they will cancel your order.

Hi all, just ordered a Legion 5 15(AMD 4600H with GTX1650) and it shows need more than 8 weeks to ship the item. Is there anyway to push this shipping date earlier?

I paid my laptop with my CC and Lenovo charged me Rm1 for preauthorization and then charged the amount I paid: RM3357.29 but I checked my CC app it shows that this amount is still pending and haven't deduct my credit limit yet. Should I contact Lenovo about this too?
*
If need it fast, why not Illegear Onyx V Ryzen. but the site said 1650 is out of stock. so u might need to topup for 1650 ti

They will only charge your CC when they shipped the laptop. You may cancel anytime in between.
