Chill.

Why is dual channel ram is so important for this product target consumer?

2k+ is the lowest price range.

Between rm2k to rm4k, how many with 2 ram slot ( that allow up to 16gb ram) that has a nice screen?

In other words, how many below rm4k laptop can go 16gb ram that has a nice screen?

Actually, the single slot could be populated with a single 32GB RAM... at roughly RM700 (market pricing now)...

Ah yes, no wonder there was a reviewer specifically mentioned it supports up to 32gb

hehe.. i got 4 x 32GB ecc ram... for pc.. wan ah

btw the P73 render video faster than i9-9900k and i9-7900x

Actual GTG response will be higher in desktop monitors

Laptop IPS usually have around 20-30 ms GTG, if need low ms need to get 144Hz/240Hz (every panel also has different ms, actual response 4-10ms)
Thinkbook=Ideapad
Every bit of performance increase is appreciated

Dual sound like greater than single ram slot.
Actually I did it before 32gb single stick, still run well, never notices got reduce the performance.
After put back for dual sticks of 32gb ddr 4.
Totally can’t tell lah.
Actually ddr 4 2400mhz or 2666mhz all is there not much different.

Rm2k , cant complain la.

Agreed, This is not a thinkpad, it's a thinkbook. Thinkbook is not a performance laptop. Lenovo tagline itself for this product is "Where work & leisure unite".

People who buy this probably just want something good enough to run Microsoft Office, Youtube, Facebook, watch movies etc.

Brah, people buy it just because it’s only RM1k, not because it’s a beast machine or so.

If want to spend RM2k-3k for an ultrabook, X395 will be the smarter choice. But from value point of view, you paid extra RM2k more than a RM1k thinkbook, but the performance and experience gain is hardly 2x.

You will get accustomed to the 40ish ms delay, all laptops are like that, even those highend panels like X1 Extreme’s 4K 500nits HDR display does so too. The tech and general market demand hardly complain about it, as it’s also part of the formula to keep your laptop battery lasting longer. High resolution, high brightness and high refresh rates will all eat up your laptop battery faster.

However, there’s an exception - OLED display for some ultra premium laptops, which had arguably better image quality and reaction time. But not only does it cost you more than an arm and a leg, it’s also having issue with PWM brightness control, which can totally spoiling the premium experience after you paying for >RM10k for your laptop.

One advantage the thinkbook 13s has over the x390/x395 is battery life, according to this, it can last up to 9 hours compared to 7 hours with x390 in their testing. Also I do think it looks more stylish with its aluminum built, compared to the black thinkpad style.

Thinkbook 13s and 14s, really one ram slot only?

Max one ram slot 16GB or 32GB? Speed? 2400mhz or 2666mhz?

Aiyoh, this is so important about single ram
Slot?
How about 8/16gb soldered on board?

top up a bit for X1 extreme or gaming laptops

TOP up a bit get Legion gaming laptop

One RAM slot available without any soldered on.....officially only up to 16GB, but a 32GB memory module should be supported.

Anyone with experience using x390 and x1 carbon recommend me a either for a business laptop?. Email, MS office apps, browsing and occasional netflix.

X390 identical with X395 and price way cheaper now.
X390 have Intel cpu, thunderbolt 3 only, the rest all same.
Nowadays getting more people’s going for X395, except those needs thunderbolt docking or workstation, gaming user may remain on Intel cpu only.

It's 16gb because that's the max that Lenovo sells it for.

But officially, that processor itself is able to take in 32gb base on the processor specs.

(Max 64gb for 2 slots, but since 1 ram slot, only 32gb)

What's listed on ark.intel is not necessary true....

For instance I'm running 32GB on my J5005 processor....which I believe, I could run even up to 64GB...when it's listed as only 8GB

https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark...o-2-80-ghz.html

Most Intel kabylake and above CPUs should be able to handle standard 32GB sticks (non Asus proprietary 32GB ones)

32GB sodimms (non ecc)....maybe just limited to Samsung ones for now...though
