(OOS) $868 ThinkBook 13s Gen 2 (13 ”, AMD) Laptop, Ryzen 7 4800U, 16 RAM, 512 SSD

I didn't need this but I regretted not buying. BOUGHT! Don't forget Rakuten 9% cash back.

Cashback using chrome extension didn't work for me , I can't even see the transaction so it's YMMV

I wanted to buy this , but went oos - I ordered p14 with 4750u, 8gb, 256gb , which is now back ordered 5 weeks out.

Damn! Lots of good Lenovo deals right now but none with touchscreen. Going to have to pay about a grand more to get a X1 Yoga. I'm sure this has been asked many times before but haven't seen a reply, and issues with using perkopolis if you're not a member?

I bought the $823 model last night with 4600u processor. I only do the very basics with the computer and some streaming to tv, but other than that, not much else besides some word processing. Is there any specific reason I should cancel and order the 4800u for about $50 more? I'm leaning towards just keeping my original order but not sure if I'm missing anything?

I am thinking of this model too but for $40 more you get more core and threads.... i rather just spend the extra $40 vs having regret over $40 ish ($823 vs $868)

Faster processor and more recent , no matter your usage you would be more future proof with the 4800U , this is a no brainer

First purchase using Perkopolis but you should not have any issue, Half of Rfd users aren't members , as long as you can place the order you will be ok

How easy is it to change the harddrive and would I somehow keep the OS? this is like perfect spec other than I need more space

Dam you to Hell Sir. . .

Wallet squeaks open. In for One.
UV for the OP !

Okok you convinced me. Cancellation request submitted for 4600u, order in for 4800u. Let's hope they can cancel my initial order!

Man I really want a ThinkPad with ethernet ports, maybe a deal on a T14?

Great deal but damn, I would struggle hard to read anything on a 13" screen.

You can get a USBC to ethernet dongle. I have one for my Lenovo work laptop.

Thinkbook, Ryzen 4600U, 16 GB mem, 512 SSD for $800ish... So much progress in the last 2 years, I'm not in the market for a new laptop, but happy to see REALLY DECENT machines at this price point. For 90% of people, there's no point in spending more.
