Hi guys, anybody faced similar situation like mine?
Whenever I pluged in my Lenovo wireless mouse, my touchpad will be sluggish (slow cursor + can't recognize my soft tap on touchpad).
I had to remove the USB received and restart my laptop to fix this issue, which is kinda troublesome.

I guess there is some conflict between the touchpad and mouse?

Any T480S users encountering high cpu temperature issue?

I was unzipping a file and cpu usage 30% at max clock 3.3GHz. The CPU temperature floating 70 to 80 degree and fan keep running. Kinda annoying

Hi...im planning to buy thinkpad t480..can anyone recommend a good place where i can buy customize specs...ive browsed through lenovo online and it got discounts..the thing is it will take 2 weeks to reach my doorsteps. I need it urgently.
Many thanks

may i ask i am a student my budget is around rm 3000 i interested on lenovo thinkpad t480 480s series or x280 but it already over my budget a lot, is worth for me to increase more of the budget  to buy the thinkpad t-series, x280 ? or the consumer model laptop like hp, acer and asus will enough for the university student can use with longer time? because it price would could around rm3980 with 15%student discount which near the rm 4000 are quite more expensive and also should university student use the business grade laptop for doing the assignment?

Hey,

Looking to purchase my first thinkpad and i've narrowed it down to the X1 Carbon & T480s.

Went through alot of youtube & website reviews, and seems that although on paper you can choose the same WQHD resolutions, the panels used for both models are different, with the X1 carbon having the  better/ brighter panel.

Customized it through the msia lenovo site with the same specs, but the T480s is 20% cheaper.

Would the 20% extra for the x1 carbon be worth it for the so called "better" screen panel & being 200gram lighter?

Any advice is welcomed to help me choose between these 2.

Spec wise:

- i7 - 8550u
- Display: 2560 x 1440, IPS, Anti Glare , Non HDR
- 16 gb ram
- 512 gb SSD
- WWAN
- 65W AC adapter

PS. I'm also aware the 480s gives more options for upgradability of its RAMs etc, but I doubt I would ug anything in the future as these specs would suit my current needs.
Aiming to get a service life of at least 4-5 years.

Pretty sure the non HDR WQHD panels are same/similar with the T480s and X16C. The X1 will only have better panels if you pick the FHD ones or the HDR one.

For the 20% extra you get:

Smaller footprint & thinner bezels
Slightly better keyboard (~0.1mm more travel)
Glass trackpad
Nicer feeling coating
4 lane Thunderbolt 3 ports

IMO the main advantage for the T480s is the cheaper price, the upgradability, SD card slot and slightly better performance due to better cooling.

If those are not much of a concern, the X1 may be a better choice.

Decided on the X1C due to the form factor and weight. Don't need the upgradability of the T480s ! Hope it serves me well !

On another note, how's lenovo msia's after sales service? *Fingers crossed i wont need that*

How long for it to arrive to you? Didn't get taxed when passing through customs?

Thinkpad's design looks boxy and outdated, but it is deemed as the best working laptops out there, especially for IT personnels. May I know why?

Received my X1 Carbon last week. Found that Lenovo no longer using Samsung SSD but their own Lenovo brand (model: LENSE30512GMSP34MEAT3TA), which is a bit slow if compare to Samsung SSD. Anyone facing the same problem?

I also hand itchy to open up the cover and replace the stock heat paste with liquid metal. Now the fan is much quiet at full load did not heard anything while typing this message.

I was curious about the differences between WQHD and FHD screen, particularly for T480. I went to the store at the weekend and take a look at it myself.

Really have differences, WQHD really smooth, side by side comparison. FHD is good for me, but WQHD really makes things smooth and popup (probably due to 300 nits).

But it costs so much

Oops damn slower to compare with Samsung PM981 SSD 😱😱

That product was 2 years ago la.

Hi all..

I fall in love with Lenovo Thinkpad laptop. I just like it’s design. Very stylish.
I’m thinking to purchase one model but not sure yet which model should I buy.
Spec wise, as long as I can do multitasking; surfing, photoshop, excel, ppt without lagging should be fine to me.
At the moment I love Yoga A380, X1.. but the price quite expensive.

Yes, it seems the model is the last one of its kind to have upgradeable socket type CPUs but I think I'll stay with the installed Haswell CPU (4th Gen Intel® Core™ i5-4300M (2 cores, Up to 3.30 GHz, 3MB L3) as I'm satisfied with the processing power. Thanks for the link.

Any suggestion for a compatible M.2 SSD would be much appreciated.
