Shouldn't have any issues in terms of hardware config, though it's probably best to cross ref the model number at Lenovo's PSREF page to be sure.

Other than that, it's the permit thing you have to worry about - products with wifi antennas/chipsets require some sort of SIRIM approval. Usually, when package reaches M'sia, customs will hold it and shipping company will contact you to inform you of the hold and send you the relevant papers. After that it depends; in some cases the shipping company will offer to do the procedure for you (for additional fee), other times you're left on your own to contact the relevant departments with the correct forms. You can also engage an external agency that specializes in SIRIM approval services (like this one), again at additional cost. Process is usually 3-4 working days, iirc.

In any case, if it's a single laptop for personal/soho use, be prepared to pay around MYR200 on top of the total cost of laptop/tax/conversion/shipping if you're to engage the courier or external agency to augment the approval process. Usually 3-4 working days, iirc. Cheaper if you do it yourself, but time and inconvenience should be factored in.

Of course, there's always a chance that you might get lucky and customs overlooks your package, in which case you won't have to go through the hassle, but that's rare and usually only happens with EMS type packages. If it's one of the big courier type companies doing your shipping (DHL, UPS, FedEx, etc), then 99% of the time customs will end up holding the package.

I was actually very tempted to order a laptop from a small Linux-dedicated manufacturer in England. Price was good even after factoring in tax and SIRIM approval, but the overall time delay and hassle with documentation, coupled with potential warranty issues or logistical challenges in case of product return (and also the lack of keyboard nipple) eventually put me off the idea. I had a very bad experience with M'sia customs dept when importing WRT routers a couple of years ago, and didn't want to go through the same headache.

Lenovo has almost monthly sales, so maybe you should bide your time this month while visiting the website every night to see if prices go down. Next sale is supposed to be 9.9.2019, but I have no idea what will be discounted. There's also the Citibank thing at the end of every month, as other comments have mentioned. There was also one comment recently mentioning being able to obtain better discount codes from sales/support rep, though I cannot recall if this was via the online chat or phone, but maybe you can try that method.

Just my 2 cents. Hope this helps.

Avoid the first option of course
Second is low sRGB, 3rd one also low sRGB but higher brightness+touch (no pen support)
4th and 5th are high sRGB, but WQHD eats battery and has glossy surface, meanwhile the 400 nits panel is low power IGZO

Finally done my P1 Gen 2 with max of SSD. 😅😅

Lol haven’t got the set yet, just delivery bag n mouse yesterday. 🤨

Why target on mine?
Lol how u know I wanna let go?
Lol 😆 macam got spy 😏

😆 just buy ideapad for her

T490?

I think around 24 October
But the base price adjusted you could get this price already

Depend which model are you looking at.
Such as X395 = 1 months
T495 = 3-4 weeks
T590 = 4-5 weeks
X1 extreme - 3< weeks
T490 = 2 weeks or more
P series is the most faster than the rest.

vPro for certain security such as Bankers
What you need about VPro?
BTW just a sticker at bottom case.
Nothing increase high performance 😅😅😅

You guys don’t forget to check out with ShopBack 8% rebate

For some models, when you select the cpu you have the option of both the vpro and non-vpro variants of the cpu i think you opted for the non-vpro variant (I believe its quite abit cheaper)
imo not a huge issue
