Amrit Bharat trainset at Kozhikode, India
Lead power unit of the Mangalore Nagercoil Amrit Bharat "push-pull" trainset clicked at Kozhikode station in Kerala as it waits for its scheduled departure time.
These are modified WAP5 locomotives attached at either end of modified LHB rakes to form a "trainset".
Were supposed to be be "fast" trains owing to the better acceleration prowess of the twin WAP5s in push-pull config, but the timetables of these services have been charted in an abysmal way making them slower than many other ordinary express trains running along the same tracks/routes.

Legion 5 is available at under ₹80k right now on Amazon if you have an old laptop lying around
Laptops used as an example for the exchange were an old Lenovo G15 with some old AMD CPU and an Asus R558U with a 6th gen i5.
Wonder how they're managing to provide such deals in these times!
Tried this on both 5050 and 5060 variants here
Edit: the cc discount has now been reduced on the Legion. However the HyperX Omen with a 2 5k display and 24GB RAM is still available for the same price: HyperX Omen 5050

Crazy Deal! Legion 5 R7 260/5050 for under ₹80k!!!
Listing: Legion 5 AMD Ryzen 7 260, RTX 5050, 16GB/1TB, IPS
The IPS variant of the Legion 5 is available for an effective price of just ₹81k or lower with the exchange of an old scrap laptop and credit card discount!
I used an old Asus R558U and a Lenovo G15 that I had lying around as examples and the exchange value, regardless of the condition, is between ₹33,000 and ₹35,000 for these laptops respectively. There's a credit card discount of ₹23k for EMI and ₹21k for non-EMI transactions. Effective price for me is ₹81k but you could get it under ₹80k if you exchange some other laptop with an old i7 processor!
For the 5060 variant Legion 5 AMD Ryzen 7 260, RTX 5060, 16GB/1TB, IPS, the exchange value is between ₹38,000 and ₹40,000 with another ₹11,500-₹13,500 off with HDFC cards, bringing the effective price down to just ₹1 lakh!
Terrific deals despite these being the IPS display variants.

Updated Affiliate Cashback Terms!
The cashback program is now the same as before. Same familiar payment schedule, same process.
4% upto 4k, payment sent to UPI id in 90 days(could be earlier).
Have also simplified the guide, so it's easier to follow.
To be ethical, please use the cashback only if you've been influenced to buy a Lenovo device based on suggestions made on this sub, the site or by me personally.
Do note that we're a verified affiliate partner having our own coupon codes(EPIC5CTO, EPIC5000, EPIC2250, EPIC2K etc. - these coupons are unrelated to the cashback itself but you are free to use them).
If you've availed the cashback in the past, feel free to drop your feedback in the comments of the cashback post(negative, positive or constructive criticism).
For people repeatedly asking us why it can't be instant, affiliate payments are sent 2 months after the end of the month they're tracked. So it's not possible for anyone to continue issuing instant cashbacks regardless of what they claim. Hope it's clear.

The lengths that jealous folks go through to pull down someone
Guy slides into my DMs acting entitled and asking for details of all the people who have received their cashback since 2025. Also asks for affiliate contract details with Lenovo that are strictly confidential.
I deny. Calls me a scammer and threatens to "expose" me.
Not that I give a rat's ass about such clowns but people need to know, that's all. Has now blocked me like a coward.
Pretty sure he intends to start/already has his own affiliate gig and is trying his best to lessen the competition which is fine but at least have the Bs to say it up front.

Legion coupon codes and discounts!
Over the past few days, this scene has been chaotic with some coupons working just for an hour or two before being redacted. Here's a list of all the Legion CTO models with stable coupon codes.
>The best value Legion right now: Legion Pro 5 Intel - Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX(upto Ultra 9 275HX), RTX 5060(upto 5070), 16GB RAM(upto 32GB), 2.5k OLED display, 512GB SSD(upto 1TB) - Price with SheerID(-₹11,616) and coupons(STUDENT7CTO(-₹12,377)+ EXTRASAVINGSS(-₹2000) = ₹1,50,968 with 3 years ADP/warranty plus 10% credit card cashback = ₹1,35,968

The 12GB VRAM on the 5070 Ti makes it future proof to a certain extent.

>Legion 5 with the newer, more efficient AMD AI 7 350 processor but only one coupon works on this: Legion 5 AMD AI - AMD Ryzen AI 7 350, RTX 5050(upto 5070), 16GB RAM(upto 32GB), 2.5k OLED display, 1TB SSD - Price with coupon(EPIC2250(-₹2250)) = ₹1,43,400 with 3 years ADP/warranty plus 10% credit card cashback = ₹1,29,060 - NOT RECOMMENDED
>Legion Pro 5 with the AMD 8 series for raw CPU performance: Legion Pro 5 AMD 8 Series - AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX(upto Ryzen 9 8945HX), RTX 5060(upto 5070), 16GB RAM(upto 32GB), 2.5k OLED display(only for base processor spec), 512GB SSD(upto 1TB) - Price with SheerID(-₹10,899) and coupons(EPIC5CTO(-₹8,116) + EXTRASAVINGSS(-₹1200))= ₹1,45,609 with 3 years ADP/warranty plus 10% credit card cashback = ₹1,31,049 - The Intel Core Ultra Pro 5 listed at the top is much better. Also, no OLED option if you upgrade to the 8945HX.
>Legion 5 with the Core Ultra processor: Legion 5 Intel Core Ultra - Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX(upto Core Ultra 9 275HX), RTX 5060(upto 5070), 16GB RAM(upto 32GB), 2.5k OLED display, 512GB SSD(upto 1TB) - Price with SheerID(-₹11,070) and coupons(STUDENT7CTO(-₹11,790) + EXTRASAVINGSS(-₹1200))= ₹1,47,878 with 3 years ADP/warranty plus 10% credit card cashback = ₹1,33,091 - The Intel Core Ultra Pro 5 listed at the top is much better.
>The performance beast with the 9955HX: Legion Pro 5 AMD 9 Series - AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX, RTX 5060(upto 5070), 16GB RAM(upto 32GB), 2.5k OLED display, 512GB SSD(upto 1TB) - Price with SheerID(-₹8,778) and coupons(STUDENT7CTO(-₹13,056) + EXTRASAVINGSS(-₹2000))= ₹1,66,190 with 3 years ADP/warranty plus 15k credit card cashback = ₹1,51,190 - This has unmatched raw performance in this price bracket. Crushes all CPU-bound tasks and games.
>Possibly the most elegant looking gaming laptop on sale in India right now: Legion 7 Intel Core Ultra(White) - Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX(upto Core Ultra 9 275HX), RTX 5060, 32GB RAM, 2.5k OLED display, 1TB SSD - Price with coupons(STUDENT7CTO(-₹15,707) + EXTRASAVINGSS(-₹2500))= ₹2,09,580 with 3 years ADP/warranty plus 10% credit card cashback = ₹1,94,580 - SheerID doesn't work on this.
>Top tier gaming powerhouse - Legion Pro 7 - Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX, RTX 5070 Ti(upto 5090), 32GB RAM(upto 64GB), 1TB SSD(upto 2TB), 2.5k OLED display - Price with SheerID(-₹20,450) and coupons(STUDENT7CTO(-₹21,876) + EXTRASAVINGSS(-₹2500) = ₹2,71,190 with 3 years ADP/warranty plus 10% credit card cashback = ₹2,56,190 - This doesn't have any competition in India as of now especially if you need an OLED display.
>The flagship gaming laptop from Lenovo: Legion 9 - Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX, RTX 5080(upto 5090), 32GB RAM(upto 64GB), 1TB SSD(upto 2TB), 4k OLED display - Price with SheerID(-₹28,547) and coupons(STUDENT7CTO(-₹30,470) + EXTRASAVINGSS(-₹2500) = ₹3,80,775 with 3 years ADP/warranty plus 10% credit card cashback = ₹3,65,775 - This makes more sense if you're looking for the 5090 upgrade.

The OG Lenovo Affiliate Cashback is Back! 4% cashback on Lenovo laptops!
>Please read the disclaimer at the end. Also refer cashback proof if you so wish.
Missed the EPIC cashback?
Well, guess what? We're back!!!
After successfully processing 230+ affiliate cashback requests between May 2025 and January 2026, we had to pause the program due to some circumstances beyond our control. That's about to change as we announce the resumption of the EPIC cashback program for Lenovo laptops! If you've been influenced to purchase a Lenovo device through us, follow this simple guide and claim your cashback!
------------------------------
First off, IS THIS A SCAM?
No, it isn't. If it wasn't obvious already.
------------------------------
What is this cashback about?
Companies run affiliate programs for influencers, wherein they're paid a certain percentage of the order value for every successful sales conversion. We just pass on a major chunk of these earnings to buyers who get influenced through us.
-----------------------------
Why opt for our cashback?
For starters, we've successfully tracked and disbursed cashback to over 230 people over the past 12 months alone(minus the Jan-April 2026 period where we had to pause the program). 90% of the cashbacks have been sent well before the promised deadlines.
-----------------------------
Can I use this with other cashback offers and coupon discounts?
Yes. This offer is independent of all others offers, discounts and credit card cashback.
-----------------------------
Will my order details or personally identifiable information be visible to you if I order through your affiliate link?
NO! An affiliate link is just a dynamic link that has a click id. It just resolves to a regular link within your brower with a cookie being sent to Lenovo's servers in the background with this click id. Other than this, there's nothing different compared to a regular order.
We have a dashboard where the order amount and time is shown. This is the only data we have access to and is used to attribute this order to a particular person who claims to have used our affiliate link.
-----------------------------
How much cashback would I get?
The cashback amount would be 4% of order value capped at ₹4000. In short, 4% or ₹4000, whichever is lower.
-----------------------------
When would I get this cashback?
The cashback amount will be processed within 30 days from order date.
-----------------------------
What happens if my order wasn't tracked?
Nothing. You just pay the regular price with discounts without the 4% cashback. No other discounts or credit card cashbacks will be affected anyway.
_______________________________________
With that out of the way, here's how to claim your cashback.
>Steps to follow:
Only use Chrome browser. Disable all adblockers, browser extensions and third party firewalls. Ensure that third party cookies are allowed. Do not use public Wifi networks such as at a school/college, railway station, cafe, hospital, mall or any other place where they might have their own blocking scripts running in the background.
>Step 0(VERY IMPORTANT): If you're using Unidays coupon, generate one beforehand, then copy and paste it to some text editor in advance and close the site. Opening the Unidays site in between immediately invalidates the tracking cookie for our affiliate link. Also verify SheerID in advance if you're a student. If you're using the STUDENT7CTO or EPIC5CTO coupons, ignore the Unidays part since they offer the same discounts anyway.
>Step 1: Log into your Lenovo account. If you don't have one yet, sign up for one. Once you're done, clear cookies for Lenovo. Read this: How to delete cookies for a particular site?
>Step 2: Copy and paste the affiliate link to a fresh browser tab on Chrome browser only. Do not keep any other tabs apart from Lenovo and Reddit open.
Here is the affiliate link to the Lenovo homepage: https://lenovo-in.zlvv.net/0GPQOL
Alternatively, you can also DM for a direct link to your specific device. Do not click the back or refresh button after this step. Also, do not click on any other links in between. Just find your laptop and proceed.
>Step 3: Configure your device if it's a CTO or add to cart directly if it's a ready to ship variant. Do not edit specs after this. If you have to, start over again by clearing cookies for Lenovo. Paste Unidays coupon(if you have one) or other coupons from us on the cart page. If you've verified SheerID, the discount will be automatically applied here.
>Step 4: Pay and checkout. If the payment fails for whatever reason, redo all the steps by clearing cookies. Once completed, just DM us the exact order value and time.
If the order was successfully tracked, you'll get a confirmation within 2 hours.
>Please note that if for whatever reason your order wasn't tracked under my affiliate id, I will not be able to assist you in any way. As mentioned above, our tracking success rate has been around 98% till date. Please DO NOT try to game the system by indulging in shady tactics. It just won't work. Calling it a scam just because your order wasn't tracked does not bother me either.
Happy shopping!
>Disclaimer: Many newbies who claim to give affiliate cashbacks(and also copy whatever we do) do not say this upfront for fear of losing out on commissions but we want to be absolutely transparent - Affiliate cashback is strictly based on cookie tracking. Successful tracking depends on one cookie being propagated by your browser. While rare, this cookie can be blocked by your browser or even your ISP from propagating, leading to a failed tracking. Also, use of any adblockers, browser extensions, antivirus softwares, third party firewalls or DNS agents(like NextDNS) can prevent cookies from being tracked. By proceeding, you acknowledge that you understand that affiliate tracking is not guaranteed to work and any failures are solely at the client(browser) side. Since May 2025, we've had about 8 or 9 failed trackings while 239 orders have been tracked successfully. Note that most cashback sites have a much higher failure rate due to lack of such detailed guides.
>Also, do not ask for personal details of people who have availed the cashback till now or any information regarding the affiliate program. These are kept confidential and will not be disclosed under any circumstances. If you want first hand reviews, just search the sub with the terms "affiliate cashback" and you'll find them.
Some screenshots of payments sent in the second week of April. There were around 90 in April alone for orders placed in December 2025.
