Good post!!! That's about £100 cheaper than the specials currently being offered on Blue Light Card. Tempted...

Can our resident computer experts give a verdict whether this is a good deal or just a phony flash sale?!

there is a few other deals in the flash sale but think this is the best looking one.

Can those with better knowledge comment on whether it's worth paying the extra £100 for the i7 version? Thanks in advance

Great CPU. If your budget goes to £600 -> get it.

4% off using LEN4600. Must be a £600 spend so the i7 model? Doesn't work adding the extended warranty unfortunately or additional items

Looks good, light weight etc

i5 is £600 and i7 is £700 direct from Lenovo for a couple of hours today it seems...

they seem to be adding more deals.

yoga 710 11 £449.99 £150 0ff rrp. plus 10.5 per cent cash back .

Thanks, got the Yoga Book for £350 and with 10% cashback on TCB :grin:

Really good deal and great laptop, voted hot

Tempted had set myself a budget of £550 max for a laptop but this seems a good deal.

Wanted for general use, media playing and photoshop/InDesign work, with some light gaming (stuff 1/2 years old etc).

Should I pull the trigger?

Dont forget the quidco cash back on yoga books.

Is this touch screen?

ORDERED THE yoga book android myself works out at £315 with top cash back,down from £450 really pleased with that.

Seems code TEST43 is taking another £150 off...
Currently have a 710S 13 sitting in my basket at £449.99 :smile:

Edit: Scratch that, won't let me complete :disappointed:

Come on Lenovo, you know you want to put your gaming laptops on sale!

i7 out of stock. Gosh darnit.

flash sale is over but deals are still on.

i5 plus a lot of other good deals still available.

Yoga book black is £544.97 on Amazon you can pick it up here for £449.99 less the 10 percent on quidco.

the 449.99 one seem to be out of stock ?

I have a dell laptop, which is a bit heavy. An i7 4500 which is't particularly fast, its a 15" laptop, I would need to do general data management.

I'm not sure for performance what the best would be to go for.

Want it as light and manouvarable as possible, but not sure what would suit me better 11 or 13, and if i need a yoga?

Where's this 10% cashback? Showing 3% on TCB for me. 7% for gaming.

Was 10 percent today looks like they have changed it.

10 per cent cash back on quidco for yoga books.

In the description for the laptop, it says Intel Iris graphics is optional. This enhances graphical capabilities but doesn't say if it's included in the machines on offer...... anybody have any idea whether it is or not as I don't want to get the lower spec if possible?

Also, anybody know what delivery times are like and is the warranty return to base location in the UK?

Gutted missed out on the TCB 10%, now it's 3% ... :disappointed:

I bought the 510S with last years i7 processor. I would always pay the extra for i7 if you want speed.

I took the plunge - hopefully another 4% on quidco but not holding out much hope as not tracked yet and it has been an hour.....

Suspect they are trying to sell these off cheap as there is an Ideapad 710s PLUS now with a newer processor and fingerprint scanner. I only want a lightweight machine for office work so went for the i5. Fingers crossed it won't be a dud

I bought this laptop about a year ago, I paid about £550 for the i5 model when you take cashback and a voucher at the time into account.

I've not been keeping up with the latest laptops etc since then but here are my thoughts on this one for anyone thinking about buying:

Good:
1) It is very light and very thin, so super compact and portable.
2) It is plenty fast for everything I use it for - I don't game on it apart from some retro stuff which it obviously handled with ease
3) The screen is really nice and it's the perfect size
4) I find the touchpad very good too
5) It's extremely fast to wake up - literally open the lid and it's ready to go (though I expect this can be said of most laptops now)
6) The speakers are pretty good
7) The keyboard is very nice in terms of travel and size however... see below

Bad:
1) The battery life is only just OK - you'd probably get 3-4 hours of normal use with the screen turned up to about 70%
2) The fan can be very noisy at times out of the box - I have largely gotten around this by installing a third party application which controls the fan instead of the preinstalled software - it's very rarely loud now in my normal use
3) It can get a bit hot underneath (again, this can probably be said of most laptops and is probably partly due to me reducing the fan profile), and I use it mostly on my lap - though it does have vents on the top as well which help
4) The keyboard is a weird layout towards the right hand side. The arrow keys are full size at the expense of the return key, and I find that only the top half of my return key works. Also, one of the keys (the actual plastic bit you press, not the mechanism) broke on mine and Lenovo wanted to charge me over £100 for a new keyboard. In the end I had to buy a new key from a third party for like £7 or something (despite the fact I actually bought Lenovo's enhanced 3 year warranty) so....
5) Lenovo customer service and aftercare is (in my experience) appalling, and the warranty doesn't seem to be worth the paper it's written on - YMMV


Would I buy it again, definitely yes - but definitely not directly from Lenovo

Out this world thanks Malm.

Bit naughty from Lenovo to still have the sale price available - not really a flash sale... but good if you missed the 4pm deadline :wink:

Had an email saying my 710s cannot be fulfilled. Anyone else had this? So annoyed

Update: "possible system error" is their excuse! The advisor needs to talk to the accounts team and get back to me after the BH.

John Lewis have the i5 variant for £700, which includes their 3 year warranty. Lenovo offer a 3 year warranty for an additional £50 but are far more likely to try and wriggle out of honouring it, should something go wrong. So basically, an extra £50 spent at John Lewis will give you greater peace of mind by way of superior after sales care plus you can go and pick it up today. My local store told me they have plenty in stock.

I'm 80% committed to getting this and if so, would definitely go the John Lewis route.......... johnlewis.com/len…825

Don't bother with the i7 as that's £950 at JL

The un-upgradable RAM has killed it for me. Every laptop I've had with only 8GB has chugged with the amount of Chrome tabs I tend to have open.

The same applies to the Lenovo that I'm typing this message on.

Good luck with the John Lewis 3 year warranty why don't you post it as a deal.

Received mine yesterday. Great lightweight laptop. Unfortunately battery life is terrible unless you turn screen down so dim it is unusable. Just in 40 mins from 100% to 78%. Returning it now
