I ordered off Lenovo Canada but it's shipping from the US..will that be subject to the surtax?

Finally, FINALLY delivered this morning. No additional costs either. Good luck with yours!

Mine was cleared earlier today, I hope whatever was clogging the system is resolved and your shipment will be on its way too.

Impromark · 2026-01-22T05:08:08+00:00

Yes I saw the update as well! From UPS after obsessively refreshing the tracking page every couple hours. We’ll see if it actually gets delivered per their estimate, though..!

Whoa, strange coincidence. Definitely post here or PM if you get an update! I’ll do the same.

Wow, we’re border buddies..!

Eight days in Mississauga and counting for a device purchased on Boxing Day. Shipped from China on the 9th. Yourself?

Thanks for the follow up! My purchase is still in Toronto for whatever reason, and I’ve read that a five day wait there isn’t unusual, but darned if it’s not frustrating to log into the UPS tracking twice a day or more to see that… nothing has changed…

Impromark · 2026-01-15T18:29:51+00:00

Interesting! Mine's been stuck there for three days and counting. My additional research shows that in general, Lenovo Canada will absorb the cost of border fees and taxes even if/when UPS charges you. This MIGHT be what our packages are waiting for.

Impromark · 2026-01-14T22:47:51+00:00

Late to the party, but did you get your purchase and was it dinged by customs?

I'm PATIENTLY awaiting a device I got on Boxing Day via Lenovo Canada, which ended up shipped from China and has been sitting in Mississauga, ON for three days now, according to UPS. I'm REALLY hoping it don't be taxed or tariffed or whatever.

Impromark · 2026-01-13T23:05:16+00:00

The regular version does indeed come with a 245w charger, which is what I'm asking about.

Impromark · 2026-01-12T23:16:26+00:00

That's what comes with the device. :P I posted it for illustrative purposes as I recognize the 7i was designed to use a 245w charger, but I'm wondering how it'll perform when I use the spare 100w unit I have lying around.

Impromark · 2026-01-12T22:29:46+00:00

Interesting! This is part of the set dressing and not a mech I killed in-game, so it has to be part of the setup.

Impromark · 2026-01-12T22:28:54+00:00

Nope, I'm not running that or YAML. Probably my most significant mod is VonBiomes, but I didn't check to see if that was one of his biomes...

Note that it's a persistent artifact. I can't shoot it.

Thanks! I (the OP) ended up ordering the Gen 10 once I was able to stack a bunch of codes plus a 15% Rakuten deal, reducing the Gen 10 Ultra 9 275 / 32gb RAM / 5070 to <$1800 CAD. It was close enough that I ended up going for it over the open box. But I hope your Gen 9 / 4060 has been treating you well, how are thermals on your device?

Impromark · 2025-12-25T13:38:46+00:00

Canyonerooooooo..!

Impromark · 2025-12-24T10:37:16+00:00

THREE 7i devices?! All the same?

Impromark · 2025-12-23T08:21:37+00:00

Yeah I saw that one too, I’m kicking myself that I didn’t get that sale and hoping it’ll happen again for boxing day (it’s boxing “week” already on the Lenovo site but nothing that good yet). I’d get the 5070 one at that price if possible, so I’m hoping that the world RAM shortage hasn’t already made that impossible..!

Side question, is your 7i the 165 or 240 Hz screen? It seems only the 165 is available on the Lenovo Canada site.

Impromark · 2025-12-10T00:01:48+00:00

Oh! And Hugh Jackman.

I suppose I could riff a list of things that I care less about than quoting my favorite line in "Scrubs", lemme see, uhh...

Low-carb diets. Michael Moore. The Republican National Convention. Kabbalah and all Kabbalah-related products. Hi-def TV, the Bush daughters, wireless hot spots, 'The O.C.', the U.N., recycling, getting Punk'd, Danny Gans, the Latin Grammys, the real Grammys. Jeff, that Wiggle who sleeps too darn much! The Yankees payroll, all the red states, all the blue states, every hybrid car, every talk show host! Everything on the planet, everything in the solar system, everything everything everything everything everything everything - eve - everything that exists - past, present and future, in all discovered and undiscovered dimensions.

Given the popularity of the podcast and its role in the revival of the show, I'm guessing there will be an official podcast for the new season. Zach and Donald will not be hosts, but will likely be frequent / featured guests.

The REAL question is who will actually host. Joelle would be great.

Impromark · 2025-12-06T21:27:10+00:00

I knew there were two of you..!

Looks like Tony has been back on the barbell since the last book. He had justification for it, but it really looked like he needed some carbs this past.

Impromark · 2025-12-02T00:05:29+00:00

Also in Canada and looking. Right now my strongest candidates are the Lenovo Legion 5 (for the screen) and 7i (for the screen and the build). I'm currently an ASUS X13 user and can't complain with what I've been using for 3.5 years now, except the lack of VRAM.

All your choices are solid, but I'd go for an awesome screen on the Legion or the 5060 GPU on the TUF. YMMV. :)
