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.  laugh.gif

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.  sweat.gif 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.

Mine ? I think it's been for 1 or 2 months already. Anyway , our laptops are MIL spec graded , so it's not going to wear off easily. Don't believe me look at reddit and see how 6-7 year old thinkpad is still looking good !

You got an option for 3 year warranty ? You didn't pick it ?

Yeah but the Onyx Lite is so nice to look at with thinner bezel and lighter too, but Raven has better specs. Battery life 3-4 hours should be okay, max budget 4k. Having a gaming laptop would be okay too.

I kind of agree. Don't really dig the looks of the Raven after googling it. Gemuk. laugh.gif

Probably gaming laptop would help here , to be honest. You need the GPU power and also the IPS display - it's not for gaming but for rendering

Consider Illgear Onyx if that's the case
