Been using the company issued Acer P645. First time pakai excellent Acer laptop, black, carbon fibre, solid shit.

Now waiting for my new T490 delivery after considering all those HP Elitebook 840/1040, Surface and the Dell series. XPS and the Spectre I think going abit over for business notebook, same goes for Surface series.

Chose the T490 for the WL and a smaller form factor compared to the T480. I dun need much storage, thus the 256GB and 16GB ram pun cukup la.

No one is able to give clear review on the T490 since its still quite new and not yet available in the US. Thinkpad due to the trackpoint and the keyboard, and the supposed durability. I 90% of the time docked laptop, but that 10% of the time, I really need mobility and durability, but not so on the battery life. 6H is very good in my job applicaiton. I'm looking for an Ultrabook, the T490 seems masih boleh pakai with full sized ports (almost all, sad no D-SUB) and all.

I just noticed the newer Acer X3 and X5 (Swift 5). And suprisingly qute cheap. But Acer is Acer, and I think the P series is still better than the X series. But If i'm going this route, I'd rather go with the T480, or budget wise, L/E480.

Elitebook, keyboard not up to my usual comfort level. And color gamut/brightness not that important, when im travelling, its airport, plane, hotels saja. I dun do work like hipster/ig kids at coffee shop, haha!

But thanks for the info, eye opener, haha!

ZM Fong You have any suggestion for okay okay cheap reliable USB-C dock?

Min of course, dual digital display (hdmi/dp/dvi) for my dual monitor, and better kalau dpt charge one go.
