eGPU comes with the GPU - it's together , else it would have been expensive. You can pick used one for RM 1600 or so. You'll get power of eGPU + power from the quad core
For me , I have to take original charger , I can't charge X1 Extreme with USB-C unless it is 85W or 100W even that it's slow charging. FOR X1C , you can easily charge it with 45W charger

Thanks @ prasys smile.gif for the info. Will search for those 45W charger in Lazada to serve as an alternative. Oic, i tot eGPU is just casing box for us to install the GPU in it smile.gif

There are two version

AORUS is all in one - its very small can travel

Other brands just sell case and we buy our desktop GPU. I picked this one because it's small


45W USB chargers are very slim or you can buy PD Powerbank.

Around 4k. I’m not sure which display is the best for me as i confuse with rgb and ntsc. 14” and light weight is my preference.

Hope fong can give me your best advice.

Can consider Thinkpad T480 (customize):
i5-8250U, WQHD panel, 4GB RAM (upgrade manually), optional MX150, optional backlit kb and fingerprint reader, 256GB SSD, optional battery upgrade (will increase weight slightly)

NTSC>sRGB. But basically the higher the better

Why the X1C 7th gen still using LPDDR3 in 2019? I already shocked to see 6th gen still using the same, even T470 already into DDR4

This make 6th gen very sought for

hi guys, considering getting my very first ThinkPad and trying to decide between the L380, T480 or the E490

E490 - price and specs make it very tempting, but wondering if it still has the heating problems which the 480 had.
T480 - my current #1 choice, and still trying to decide if the WQHD is worth the extra money.

any input guys? this will be primarily used for office work (Ms office 90% of the time) with the usual video streaming for fun at times.

Budget wise, if I can keep it between 3.5 to 4 would be best

Thanks all!

E series is consumer grade. Since your budget allows, T480 is a better option

got it, and is the 480s worth the extra RM300 (all specs being the same) over the 480?

Only if you care about less weight and thickness (and don't mind 1 soldered RAM)

...and carbon finish. Welp the carbon is to die for. Not sure about the thermal performance

hey guys, my cousin just got an X1 carbon today and has been complaining about the high temperatures during idle (55c) and youtube playback (73c).
he's thinking about repasting with liquid metal, but he's concerned about voiding the warranty.

does lenovo allow user repasting?

Not high IMO considering it has thin chassis and 8th gen ULV

No need liquid metal. A good non-conductive paste will do. Will not void warranty unless you damage something
