Hey fellas,

If anyone is looking at purchasing a new Windows laptop specially the new Intel Lunar Lake which is very impressive in performance for power, battery, processing etc, Lenovo is currently running there black friday deal a month early on there website for the Yoga Slim 7i Aura edition below. It is fully specced at 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, 2.8K IPS 120Hz touch screen display. Price on website is $2499 but when you add it to cart, it adds another $100 coupon and takes the price down to $2399. I then jumped on Lenovo chat online and requested the online agent to provide a better price. They offered to either knock off another 35% off $2399 or add the 4 year warranty for free if I complete purchase in next 24 hours and it came at $1560. I picked the $1560 price and then they also offered the 4 year warranty for $450 which I refused and just purchased the laptop only.

Any other equillant spec and build quality Intel lunar lake laptop released only in the last 1 month globally is NZD$3k at minimum for same specs. Pays to jump on chat or call them and ask for a better price. If you need a new laptop or a xmas gift for someone special, this is a fantastic price and highly rated reviewed laptop. Memory is soldiered but M2.SSD can be upgraded by user. I think there is a spare M.2 slot even.

Thanks! I've got the same deal after chatting.

Pretty good deal. The RRP of $3999 is not realistic though, but still $1550 is a very good price for such a laptop.

RRP is likely around $3000 as the equillant Dell XPS with a smaller battery but same CPU, RAM and SSD and resolution screen is $3600. Half price is good deal I agree.

Just placed the order. Also got an email that it's in high demand and recommended to order before 10pm NZT, after that the offer may no longer be valid.

Thanks for the post @billgates (username checks out lol)

Bear in mind the laptop is a Copilot+ laptop and thus will have Recall which you may want to disable.

Ha. Was it Tania from Lenovo @boland? She emailed me the same blurb that its in high demand. End of the month, gotta reach there targets tactics. I placed the order as well an hour ago but only because the price is very very sharp and not the high demand tactic email. Now I need to find a carrying bag for it or a backpack.

Yep, Tania :) I was guessing it could be in high demand as people from here found it? But yeah could also be sales tactics.

I did research and it's a very good deal. Slightly above budget but I'm hoping to get many years out of it.

The Black Friday pricing for this laptop still has it at $2,499.00 and the $100 discount still gets added once the item is in the cart. But the chat agent wasn't able to add any further discounts for me. 😞 Although they did offer a Bluetooth mouse for $1. 🤣

Mine arrived on Friday as I went and picked it up at DHL collection centre myself. Laptop is awesome. Keyboard is awesome. Screen is awesome. Speakers are amazing. Best I have heard in laptops. Battery life is awesome. Very happy for $1560. Now I need to buy a backpack and sleeve for it.

The laptop is awesome!

It does not have Recall though. Not that I care, but I thought this kind of laptop would have that feature.
Speakers are indeed superb.

Almost no bloatware and the Lenovo software is pretty good. Already set it to smart charge such that it doesn't keep it at 100% when plugged in, as I'll be mainly using it plugged in.

Only minor downside my SO has mentioned is that it does not have a numpad.

Recall will be released as part of MS OS update soon. Only bloatware I found was McAfee and Lenovo app that advertises there premium services you can purchase (not Vantage). I uninstalled these 2 apps. I am very happy there is no numpad. It is what makes the keyboard so awesome without a numpad.

Same deal I was offered. Disappointing.

I'm glad you others have done the hard work to see if this same deal can be squeezed out; I tried a couple of times via their online chat and couldn't get past the first hurdle of entering my contact details! They wanted only a Whatsapp number (which I don't have), and then trying to leave info to get contacted they required an order number.

I remember now why I gave up ordering directly from manufacturers' sites - same @#$@#ed up and frustrating experience as with Dell in years gone by. I'll just need to keep a better eye out for these deals when initially posted!

I recommend making contact via chat towards end of the month with any shop that has sales agents as if they have not met their sales targets for the month, they will offer a deal. I always aim for 28th or 29th of the month to make contact.
