Thank you again for such informative reply. I learn so much in this forum.

I'm actually fine with the design however I'm more concerned of the display (sRGB). But again its a business laptop, not multimedia. After all this laptop is intended for a lot of office related task and web browsing.

It would be nice to experience the display or maybe testing some similar display laptop.

Thank you.

Payment done for T480. Let's hope everything goes smooth and I'm not regretting this. No going back.

Not sure if this will work for you but you can try "NIGHT" at the ecoupon (after 10pm).

The "NIGHT" coupon is only available between 10pm-8am. Hope this clears things up, and do try using the coupon later tonight. Do let us know if you encounter any issues and we'll help out. Thanks!

That's a lot of different for me. Hope this can help others.

So it's like "PM me best price".

So, I just want to thanks everyone in this forum who helped me in deciding my laptop. Bought myself a Thinkpad T480 without the dGPU and I hope this machine will serve me for a very long time. However there are few thinks that I disappointed with:

1) The external finishing feels rubberized and a fingerprint magnet, both top and bottom cover case. I prefer the case cover finishing.
2) The placement of Fn and Ctrl. But I'll get used to this.
3) My unit came with SSD installed at the HDD bay and connected by an adapter. I wonder how to add another HDD for storage and backup purpose.
4) I received non backlit unit although their representative replied my email confirming that my unit came with backlit keyboard. Misunderstanding.

What I regret the most is I try to dissemble my laptop by referring to Youtube without the proper tool. Well, I do have experience dissembling laptop and build my own PC but maybe it's bad luck this time. Since I don't have spudger, I use my small flat head screwdriver to unlock the bottom cover clip, ended up I broke one of the clip and left ugly screwdriver mark at another clip, only 2 days after I received the laptop.

The good news; found the replacement part at Aliexpress. The bad news; it cost about RM160.00 and of course it's not covered by warranty.

My RM3.4k lesson, or RM160.00 to be accurate are:
1) Get a spudger. Worst case, DIY.
2) Be patient and make sure you done your homework regarding tutorials and tools.

Anyway, thank you again to this forum. This laptop might not have dGPU, boring design, and poor screen but how can I hate "Thinkpad", >8 hours battery, replaceable parts, and to my these eyes; this display is way better than my old laptop.

Yeap, that's the reason I dissembled the laptop, to figure out mine came with WWAN slot just like some of the owner reported. Turned out it's easier to just email them and they will send you full detail of parts and hardware, with photo and parts number.

Order: 28/04/2019
Shipped: 05/05/2019
Arrived: 07/05/3029 (Mice & beg), 10/05/2019 (laptop)

Honestly I was expecting longer than that due to some of post that I read on their Facebook page. I even read some having inaccurate warranty period.

Means I need to buy another M.2 2242 SSD if I want to use the HDD slot?

So that's not a rubberized finished? What worry me is both my headphone and PC casing rubberized finished ruined by our weather. So, does it stay just like that or it will get shining and peeled off? How long your Thinkpad already?

Regarding the keyboard, I email them already but unfortunately my spec doesn't come with backlit keyboard, even in the purchase detail spec. I don't mind adding another RM57 for the backlit keyboard but sadly no customization for my unit, just "add to cart". I should've email them regarding that. Sigh...

As for the warranty, I don't think mine is premium, thus explain the price.

Ticked. 3 years but doesn't mention premium. And ticked the RM1 mouse and beg too.

Ah, betul jugak. I knew a doctor who used her sister's Thinkpad X for about 10 years. She just complained that it's slow compared to nowadays laptop.



Is it this one? Just realized the on-site repair.
