Thinkpad's design looks boxy and outdated, but it is deemed as the best working laptops out there, especially for IT personnels.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

QUOTE(aqilsyafi @ Nov 22 2018, 10:47 PM) Anyone still using x230?...bought refurbish set and done some updating on the hardware - swap ssd and upgrade 16gb...the temperature quite hot while running heavy load up to 70 celcius...any advise on managing the temperature? Check whether there is any hidden processes running in the background. Anyhow, 70 degree celcius at heavy load is not a major concern. |

QUOTE(aqilsyafi @ Dec 8 2018, 10:38 PM) Yurp...bought online... initially, quite sceptical to buy refurbish item like laptop online but have good experience with viaglobal...you can search viaglobal in shopee or lazada...read about the rating and customer feedback if you interested to get item from them This is what I thought now, skeptical. That is why I hesitate. But I keep on browsing those refurbished/re-manufactured units from Shopee and Lazada.When the first unit arrived, I got a not good condition x230 as there is some crack at screen area...complaint to them and asked for exchange...the pic send the courier slip to me and I post back the unit...upon receiving the defected unit, they send the replacement and that the unit that I use now...buyer no need to pay a cent as the courier charges to send the return unit and a new unit send to the buyer is covered by the company...so far happy with my purchase |

QUOTE(widget @ Dec 20 2018, 12:56 PM) I've just place an order for a customized X1 Carbon via their toll-free number and I noticed that the price is much cheaper, for my case by RM6xx over the similar configuration if I ordered via Lenovo online. I have been monitoring their website for almost 3 weeks, and I realized that different promotion periods yield different starting price. In the end, your setup will be priced at around a certain fixed region. Of course, you may get a good deal by chatting with the customer support tech.As I made payment via CC, I still need to log-in to my user account at Lenovo online for payment. I was considering between the XPS13 and X1 Carbon, but the X1 current promo for 3-years warranty and free upgrade to 512 SSD made me opted for the X1 |

QUOTE(XerosXIII @ Jan 10 2019, 01:53 AM) yup, driver are fully updated So now you have 8gb of ram or 12?Installed 4GB extra ram, I think this did the trick for the software lag For the last 9 months I have been using it pretty heavily, average 10 tabs+ while working, so I'm actually surprised I hit the ceiling, maybe windows update hog more memory now.. wouldn't replace thermal paste void the lenovo warranty? wonder if I can request them to do it lol |

If size matters, go for t480s. I remembered I read somewhere about t480s, there is something bad about it.

Any advice on this model? T495
14.0" FHD (1920x1080), IPS, 400nits, Anti-Glare sRGB of 72%? Edit: 72% is not sRGB, is NTSC. Hence 72% NTSC = 100% sRGB This post has been edited by Savor_Savvy: Aug 23 2019, 08:40 AM |
