I've used a T42 for bout a year before and what can I say .. by far one of the best I've ever used .. Surprisingly, I feel like it's even better than the latest Dell Latitude E6400 that I'm having now ..

Ignoring the difference in specs that is .. my experience with it in typing, mouse track, etc .. superb ..

I was planning to get T61, in anywhere I can find it .. 2nd hand probably ..

What do you guys think about T61, I've been reading reviews that said it's like heaven and hell when you compared that to T42. T61 is a big no no to many people. ..

Hey Guys,

Looking through the current Lenovo Website, I am configuring the following specs:

T580
Intel Core i7-8650U Processor (8MB Cache, up to 4.20 GHz)
15.6" UHD IPS (3840x2160) AntiGlare 300nits
16GB DDR4 2400MHz SODIMM
256GB Solid State Drive M.2 2280 NVMe, Opal 2.0

With the CNY Discount on the Site, the price comes up to RM 6249. Do you think there are any other ways for further discount for the specs above or this will be it?
Would you recommend other models with Similar Customization specs over T580 with about the same spec and price?

It didn't have MX150 as part of the T580 selection. However, that is fine since I am planning to have an eGPU if I really do want it in the future..
So, making sure that it has Thunderbolt port.


Mostly Work, probably running multiple Virtual Machines.
Loves movies .. so that's why I'm configuring a better screen. I do see how this contradict a little with my option in statement above.
Would love to see some OLED Screens but guess that's not coming soon enough for Lenovo.

There is an intention to install a second SSD if there is available slots.

How's the WQHD 300 Nits Screen?
Noticed T490 now have 500 nits Screen

Do you guys happen to know whether it actually voids warranty to open up the casing and change the RAMs?
I have checked this with the Service Chat Staff on the Website and they mentioned just by doing so actually voids their Warranty. Wondering how true that is.

What a disappointment ..
It says that it will arrive yesterday by end of day .. waited the whole day at home and yet nothing show up.
Today re-check status, now changed to "In Transit" ...

It's finally here .. ..

Specs as followed:

Intel Core i7-8650U Processor (8MB Cache, up to 4.20 GHz)
Windows 10 Home 64
14.0" WQHD (2560x1440), IPS, Anti-Glare, 300nits
8GB DDR4 2400MHz SODIMM
NVIDIA GeForce MX150 GDDR5 2G
Infrared & 720p HD Camera with Microphone
No Fingerprint Reader
First Hard Drive: 256GB Solid State Drive M.2 2280 NVMe, Opal 2.0
Second Hard Drive: None
No Smart Card Reader
3 Cell Li-Ion 24Wh Front
3cell Battery 24Wh Rear
Intel Dual Band Wireless AC(2x2) 8265, Bluetooth Version 4.1, vPro

It's not too bad ..
Just realized that even when compared against my 1st Edition X1C, the X1C still has an overall better built and feel.

Does T480 has no ThinkShutter?
Mine doesn't look like there is anything for me to move and cover the cameras..

With a new Laptop, it is always fun time to start getting Accessories ..
What accessories do you guys currently have to work with your Thinkpad?
Could be Lenovo or 3rd Party Items..

Was actually thinking about eGPU with 1080Ti too...
Still isn't fully sure how this will all worked out..
The initial idea I have is to have a Docking System with a separate eGPU connecting to it. Will this be possible?

** I don't wanna buy the Docking with integrated GPU version from Lenovo.
