Rakuten.ca has 12% cashback and you can stack LENOVOHOLIDAY (-$50) and EXTRAFIVE (-5%) as Rakuten authorized codes (use the browser extension for minimal issues)

Here is the base model for $1,374.99, not too impressive with a RTX 5050, but you can upgrade it to an RTX 5060 for +$215, or an RTX 5070 for $355 (or a RTX 5060 to RTX 5070 for +$140)

Also of note:

32 GB DDR5-5600MT/s (SODIMM) – (2 x 16 GB)
+$85.00 – I don’t think you’ll find RAM this cheap on the open market (extra 16 GB for $85 CAD

1 TB SSD M.2 2242 PCIe Gen4 TLC
+$75.00
The option for a second SDD is available with the selection of a 1TB SSD

And of course the second 1TB hard-drive for $145 (couldn’t we just put our own in?)

Then Windows 11 Pro for +$85 from Home

Remove 12% Rakuten and $100 from RBC’s Credit Card, and I’m at about:

1971.73 – 236.61 – 100 = $1635.12 for my machine, assuming Rakuten.ca makes good on it, or, I just return it…

Oh right $52 Lenovo Rewards, but I’m too broke to buy anything else now after this one. So, $1583?

Also, they’re going to jack up the prices of components tomorrow because of AI demand. So I FOMO’d this.

Your Next Laptop Could Cost More. The RAM Shortage Is to Blame
In the face of rising costs for memory and storage, major manufacturers like Dell and Lenovo are warning their clients of impending price hikes.
https://www.cnet.com/tech/computing/len … ally-soon/

First the pandemic, then tariffs and now the AI squeeze: Tech shoppers just can’t catch a break from shortages and rising prices. Dell plans to raise system prices by a minimum of 15% to 20% as soon as mid-December, a report from market intelligence firm TrendForce last week said, while Lenovo has told clients that its current system price schedule will reset on Jan. 1, 2026.

With memory prices expected to rise another 45% in 2026, Lenovo may delay laptop launches

Oh wow, Dell is 12% off as well. Check your AMEXes as well eh? They often have Dell/Lenovo offers. I didn’t get one.

Happy New Year, Bonne année à tous!! The rest will be added Thursday.

As requested by @Rngmonster13, a * next to the price means either best price in recent memory, a great value or my top pick.

While I try to be as consistent as possible with the ‘same@’, It can be tricky at times especially when it comes to fruits/meat/veggies as quality can vary from grocer to grocer. It can also be confusing with veggies that come in 1/2/3/5/10lb packages and items like TP that come in so many packages/sizes/softness/absorbency.

Furthermore, quantity and ‘freedom of choice’ is always better AKA 1$ for 1kg is better than 2$ for 2kg- It’s expected the higher size/package to have a better price. Also, items that can be picked (fruits etc) for x$ is better than the prepackaged at the same price/weight.

Lastly, I usually give PCO points at almost face $ value AKA item at 2$ is almost the same as 3$ with bonus 1000PCO. I say almost because of taxes and/or how you spend those PCO points (bonus points day, spend x$ get xPCO back.)

Note : This thread usually goes online at 5:00am on Wednesday. Walmart and Kim Phat usually have their flyers online on Thursday and will be updated accordingly.

Note that the homebase is NOT included! It costs $200. The image is misleading as it shows what I think is the homebase.

If you have the Eufy app you may find an offer in your “Top Messages” that makes the 4-camera-kit cheaper by $20.

However, if you order on the website, you can go through airmileshops and earn 748 airmiles for the 4 cameras plus harddrive plus homebase.

I have no experience with these cameras. I have 2 Eufy 2K doorbell cameras and am underwhelmed.

I’ve read that the E330 Professional is better, but it requires wiring. Also, it is sold out.

This seems like a hot deal to me. But this is not my area of expertise:
Does an offer like this come around regularly or is this an all time low?
Is there a similar deal for Reolink at times?
How do these cameras fare at -40°C? Or -30°C?
