Ordered my T495 last night, but would it be able to arrive on time? (stated within 2weeks in website, currently showing shipping on 30th Aug and arriving 6th Sept)
Departing to overseas for study on 8th Sept lol, anyone has any idea on it?
Been live chat with the staffs and they said guaranteed two weeks and will help me to expedite the order through their back end team. But still very concern about it hmm.

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.

I think I will cancel my order soon. They delayed my shipping, from 30th Aug to 10th Sept LOL
It'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.... bye.gif bye.gif bye.gif bye.gif

Aiyoh walk in any shop to get used laptop first .
I Guess in Lowyat plaza have a lot.
Come back just sell it. 6 months passing faster.
I don’t think so u able to get in japan that fast, they have awaiting ordering online as well.

Either u come sg at The Funan mall have officially Lenovo retail shop for you to purchase on the spot.

hmm... will try to look into it too, seems to be a workable suggestion haha
Thanks! But SG is too inconvenient for me la haha travelling to East Malaysia next week ady

Anyway just good luck for u to hunting a new laptop
BTW 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 don’t 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.
*
They just simply make life difficult for us haha
For the fingerprint sensor, Malaysia cant choose Fingerprint sensor if it's touchscreen display.

Question:
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 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).

For paperwork I'm not too sure but if not mistaken it's needed for verification such as student card ID.

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.

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.  laugh.gif
*
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.

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..

Don’t buy the customisation specs Loh.
Just buy the instant packaged will do.
Mine taken almost a month, if you can wait it’s worth for you.

Instant package of thinkpad not attractive πŸ˜”πŸ˜”
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.  whistling.gif

Your order took almost a month?!  shocking.gif
Now I'm scared to order already. The checkout page for mine (yes, I have the same tab open for half a day sweat.gif ) says 4 or 5 September. Cannot trust their estimate ah?
*
NEVER TRUST THEIR ESTIMATE!
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...
