It's gonna to take sometime maybe 1 month.
I also ordered a E585 on Saturday, still no sign on shipping....
Order customized thinkpad you have to be patient and the box is very normal with minimal accessories.

My Thinkpad is very heavily customized. I ordered last Wednesday but no sign of shipping. I guess it's going to take very long time to arrive.

My laptop has arrived in Malaysia but it is currently stuck in the customs because it is missing import license needed for clearance.

Finally arrived today. Feels more solid than my old Dell Vostro laptop. I thought L580 comes with LTE. When I checked the website again, I can't find the option to add LTE.

Thinkpad are legendary
No problem - open it up there is another slot - slot it in with LTE-A card , it works. That's the beauty of thinkpad. You can easily swap and no it doesn't void warranty....

Where is the slot? Sorry abit noob.

reporting in after a day's use.

It is the perfect laptop for me. Best typing experience, lightest weight. Strong and fast. FHD is good enough, I had to increase the scaling to 125%, wouldn't have made any sense going for anything better than FHD unless I care about about image fidelity - which I don't based on my office-type of work.

Battery life is set at 60% as recommended above, can last 5 hours, if I plan on taking the X1 Carbon 6th on the road, Ill just click 2 buttons (thinkvantage shortcut on the task bar ---> chargetresh hold disable) and the laptop would charge to the max 100% in just 30 minutes.

The USB-C charging port is also a great "mobile power security" in that since I always have a USB-C charger with me all the time for my phone, i can replace that with a USB-C PD and keep it for emergency use

The 1.15kg weight helps a lot. My old X1 Carbon 1st weight 1.35kg. That 0.2 kg can be felt even though I carry the laptop in my bagpack. Imagine if I had gone for the heavier T480S and T480 - which was kept as an option due to the whopping 18 hour 9-cell battery life. Since I am mobile most of the time outside office, light weight was imperative.

At RM4,750 it was a bargain for what I got. if I had cheapened out by RM500 to RM1k I can guarantee that I would not be as happy as I am now.

My L580 is almost 3kg

Yeah I imagine the L series would be quite heavy. id kill myself and refuse to go to sales meetings if I have to carry a 3kg laptop along with other items

As mentioned, I considered the t480 with its 18-hour battery life but remembered that I dont leave my office/home for that long anyway and the 1.8kg (2kg with the 6 cell battery?) would drag me down. Id be complaining all the way to the bank

Right tools for the right jobs.

p/s btw due to the same screen size (15.6"), have you considerd the p1? is it that much more expensive? too powerful for the required job?

p/s2. just checked L580 prices. It's substantially cheaper than the P1. Ok i got it. can get 2 L580 for a single p1. Battery is only 45 wh though, looks barely enough if always on mobile
*
My battery life lasted me about 4 - 5 hours. I wonder if the battery can be upgraded in the future?

No la - I know that guy - thats why kacau him hahaha
Its on standby , thats why when you open the lid - you would be instantly booted to Windows . You can just fully shut it down. Normally if you just close the lid like I do it goes into really low power mode
*
Yea, I did full shut down so I am wondering if it is normal to lose so much charge.

BIOS updated or not ? Drivers updated or not ?

Drivers are updated. BIOS not yet. Is it better to update BIOS with Lenovo Vantage or do it manually? Because I am worried I might brick my laptop lol

No. Telco will see it as '4G MiFi' - However if you itchy hand and make your laptop as hotspot then yes

Will the telco see it as "mifi" if I use USB modem?

Did anyone face the "plugged in, not charging" issue before? My Thinkpad cannot charge and I did not enable the charging threshold mode.
