My Dell Latitude broke its hinges first. Upon dissasembly, I notice the old dvd drive was loose and soft, as if it was made of aluminium and cardboard. The same with the rest of the body, very cheap plastic. I mean sure that made the entire laptop feels very light, but that means all the locking bits and where plastic meets metal break easily. But I do love how easy every components are easy to replace and gain access to. Having Dell's accidental damage cover really puts you mind at peace.
I'd probably categorize Lenovo sites as 2 main categories.
The normal, customizable version.
The fast delivery, offer bin.
If you're looking for cheap deals, then just check out the READY TO DELIVERY. I normally camp there for specific models which will come every fortnight. Mind you the delivery may still take around 8-14 days because its usually shipped from Hong Kong or China.
But if want souped up builds, then look for the normal customize options. For those, the deals comes in the form of add-on e.g. upgrade to 16gb RAM for $70. I suppose, this is why you feel everything kinda overwhelming since you're still fairly new to the site.
Worst part is how its not friendly on mobile. Truly sucky experience when you're waiting so long for the pages to refresh.
Lastly, once you've committed to an item you like, put it in the cart and try to chat with lenovo agent. They will check your cart and see if there are some things they could offer you, usually in the form of discount vouchers or free gifts. ALWAYS ASK FOR FREE GIFTS. But if you compare it with any existing codes like DOORBUSTER and find that its cheaper, then just ignore it.
Shopback is where I would definitely make sure is tracked because who wouldn't love a rebate am I right?
I found a better code yesterday. DEALSDAY. Give more discount. I am also using my son's student verification ID to get another 5% discount (which I did on PC). Tried to do the same for Shopback but i can't do the student verification again. Crap. Also notice Shopback has some T&C about tracking certain codes. Might not be applicable if I stack difference discount. I think the DEALSDAY + student discount is very good Liao. Later today check whether still in cart or codes expired or not. On the edge of buying. Just that I don't really like the Lenovo Thinkpad design...black and square...very business like....would it look odd for College students? Lol.
Yes, you are right Lenovo's website reallt overwhelming. Too many options. But I am surprised.thqt even DELL is not as customizable. I thought DELL should be more customizable.

Ayam going out now, read your post later!
. But for me the design is very "Lou tou" , old fashioned. My son doesn't seems to mind though. I also have 2 other Lenovo laptops in the house, quite old, more than 5 years for sure. Both working fine except the battery no good as it has been replaced with OEM battery which last a couple of month and now they practically needs to be plug in to use. No intention paying for expensive ori batteries for old lappies...also probably no stock anyway.
