QUOTE(Benefon @ Aug 22 2019, 03:36 PM) But now is during huge sales . Oh gosh. Got to think of another replacement while giving it few days to wait for some miracles. The person promised to get on the back end team to expedite the order. Been referring to them before placing order.Unless you get T490s or X390 cool door model. Less people buying confirm get faster than those selling like hot cake now. Nah ordered from 9th Aug in SG, till now still not ship out yet. ![]() |

QUOTE(Benefon @ Aug 24 2019, 03:00 PM) I think I will cancel my order soon. They delayed my shipping, from 30th Aug to 10th Sept LOLIt's a superb deal for me as my budget is only RM3k (MAX) then this is the best of the best that I could ever find. But their delivery is just way too disappointing.... |

QUOTE(Benefon @ Aug 24 2019, 03:29 PM) Anyway just good luck for u to hunting a new laptop They just simply make life difficult for us hahaBTW Lenovo ThinkPad they able to ship on time, but due to customisation and delay from factory installation line. Unless they same as Macbook comes with minimum selection model, either ram or ssd upgrade , the rest are standard. Actually I donβt understand like : 45w and 65w charger must be add on. TN panel as base model, why cannot instead of IPS 250nits. Again keyboard backlit and fingerprint why must be optional. They can upgrade from factory for another ready stock packaged to ship out within 5 days. Because for me fingerprint unlock is the most faster than what thinkshutter / window hello. For the fingerprint sensor, Malaysia cant choose Fingerprint sensor if it's touchscreen display. |

QUOTE(G-17 @ Aug 26 2019, 01:48 PM) Question: For Education Store there will be a 15% discount, which is quite good but there are other better codes to be use ie. After 9pm you may apply code "NIGHT" for better discount, around 25% for ThinkPad T495 (not sure bout the exact discount).I noticed Lenovo has an Education Store on their site. Do they offer education discounts on ThinkPads, and is there any paperwork required to prove you're an educator? I know for Apple Macs and iPads in Malaysia you can buy from the their Education K-12 site without any paperwork or questions being asked (you can't claim from company or get income tax deduction though) even if you don't work in the education sector. For Lenovo, I'm unsure. Thinking of registering with a throwaway email account to find out, but just asking here first in case anyone has experience. For paperwork I'm not too sure but if not mistaken it's needed for verification such as student card ID. |

QUOTE(G-17 @ Aug 26 2019, 04:51 PM) You mean the coupon codes under the price tab are better than education discounts? I've never seen "NIGHT" before, but over the last couple of days I've seen a lot of "SCHOOL" and "WEEKEND" codes. NIGHT would be available for Sun to Thurs night after 9pm based on my observation. However, it only applies to selected model but not all.The Lenovo store site is damn weird. Sometimes, right below the price section you can see small options you can tick (before you enter the customize page) that offer upgraded warranty or backpack for extra RM$1. The strange thing is that it can change whenever. Sometimes I can simply Ctrl-R refresh the page and suddenly more/different options will appear. Is there some special technique/timing for best pricing? Feels like those games where you enter cheat codes. I wonder if got God Mode or not. While for the bonus options, I'm not quite sure is it keep on changing from time to time, but it differs for product. For some you add on RM1 to get their wireless mouse but some you add on to get normal USB mouse. Then some warranty upgrade is just RM1 but others is RM299 or more. So far I found out that for certain model you can get the cheapest price with the code "NIGHT". |

Is that every time when Lenovo delay shipping, the reason (EXCUSE?) is part shortage? Frustrated waiting for mine..

QUOTE(Benefon @ Aug 26 2019, 10:50 PM) Donβt buy the customisation specs Loh. Instant package of thinkpad not attractive ππJust buy the instant packaged will do. Mine taken almost a month, if you can wait itβs worth for you. Might just look for other alternatives with those stocks in lowyat then... QUOTE(G-17 @ Aug 26 2019, 11:09 PM) But the standard specs for so many models are shit. I'm not 80 years old, so I don't need gigantic fuzzy fonts of a 768p display. 8GB RAM cannot even dedicate enough for my virtual machines or containers. 45W charger and wait till my hair falls off for the thing to fully charge? No, thanks. The standard specs are for Lenovo to clear old parts inventory, me thinks. NEVER TRUST THEIR ESTIMATE!Your order took almost a month?! Now I'm scared to order already. The checkout page for mine (yes, I have the same tab open for half a day I will be travelling for study at overseas start 8th Sept. Placed my order on 21st Aug, system show shipping time two weeks, estimated shipping between 29 & 30 Aug. Then after order was placed it showed that estimated shipping on 30th Aug and estimated arrival of 6th Sept. Two days later become 10th Sept shipping and 18th arrival. Might be due to their sales running now and that's why take longer time to process. However, the price and specs are really attractive enough and worth the wait. Just that I'm on rush and couldn't have it now... |

But it put me in a difficult situation again... |
