Yup you are correct. The customization only available for T14 Gen 2 AMD model.

I am looking forward for T14s AMD model customization. Do you think it will be available soon?
*
It does .. I was customising it last few weeks .. but its not available now ..

Actually downgrading would not save you alot .. perhaps around 300-500?

Really? Are you looking at T14s AMD and not T14 AMD?  Because I did monitor T series last week and still no customization for T14s AMD.

I already added ThinkPad E14 AMD into my cart. But my heart is beating for ThinkPad T14s AMD. Hehe
*
Haha .. yes .. but maybe coz I was browsing from SG .. so over here I get to customize though ..

Anyway, for the same spec as the stock in MY .. it cost 6k .. so I think the 5.3k deal is quite good .. besides by downgrading .. you save up around 500 only .. to get the 5450u

Or else get the T14 version .. well, slightly heavier I suppose? but overall they are the same

And I also can downgrade  the sevice side and windows version which cost both around 500 (i think so).

Btw if T14 version vs E14 version, which one is better? I can get E14 AMD Gen 3 with AMD 5600, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, etc about 3.6k
*
Ah that's true .. but by default the lowest configuration is around 5.4k .. but price fluctuates from time to time anyway ..

They are similar .. perhaps for build quality T14 is better .. and perhaps the 5650 for security purpose .. or the ram coz E14 comes with 8gb soldered .. ur upgradable ram is smaller then

T14S look a bit slim. Hehe. That is why I am aiming it.
*
Haha .. that was my plan too .. but I ended up with p14s .. coz back then t14s was not out yet .. and until today I'm still waiting for it to arrive

Guys,

I added 1 to my cart and see the below
"Ships within 6-8 weeks. Shipping and delivery may be affected due to current COVID-19 situation.
"
Does it really take that long ?
*
Yes it does .. but if you're lucky they may ship them in batch.. earlier than the stipulated time frame ..

I'm still waiting for mine since early August .. I do see stocks appearing on the Web from time to time .. but mine was customised .. despite having the same configuration that appeared on the Web ..

Do not self-customise .. just get the ready ones ..

Self-customised? It's gonna take a long time .. haha ..

I had to customise mine coz back then the specs that I wanted was not available .. but from time to time .. they would have ready-stock available (exactly as the one I customised), and yet I'm still waiting for mine after almost 2 months .. the reason they gave was "due to part shortage" .. really mind-blowing .. as I was able to see ready stock available on the website .. especially on weekends .. and when I contacted the post-sale team on weekday .. the stocks were already gone .. and I was told to wait again ..

i will get better price when buy online right ?

Yes .. online purchase should be cheaper usually .. with the use of a promo code .. unless u want those extra free gifts and some haggling .. then it may be cheaper

But do note for the waiting time.. it may take u up to 4months

Hi guys,

Those who received extra 5 or 10% rebate, can you enlighten me how does lenovo return that money to you?

I have been charged the exact amount of money despite I was told that I would be given a 5% rebate.

The word 'rebate' is not the same as 'discount'. You will be charged the exact amount. Then once you receive the item you just send them an email and they will acknowledge and begin processing.

In the initial offer to me they offered a rebate to my bank account. I provided bank account details when I received my machine (1 and a half weeks ago). The reply said it would be refunded to me credit card though (hopefully not, that would be inconvenient due to the specific card I used). Still waiting for it to turn up anywhere.

Ah ok thanks ... I was thinking should I opt for extended over this 5% rebate .. back then when I made my purchase I opted for the least warranty (1 year) .. now kinna undecisive on this

LOL, u r missing the point, just because everyone is experiencing this doesn't justify this is right. Just because it is the "common" thing doesn't mean we all have to accept it. I'm just posting the dates here for future potential buyer's reference but if you have nothing constructive to say then I suggest you don't say it at all. Saying "it will eventually come" doesn't make u look any smarter.

Not sure why you would even take the time to advocate for lenovo to ask people to buy elsewhere and request the 5% cashback. I suggest you to use your time to read up consumer protection act 1999. Learn how to be a smart consumer and not just happily accept 5% rebate and give them an easy pass - this will give them chance to do it again to other consumers. Maybe 5% rebate solve your problem and make you happy but it doesn't solve it for future customers.

Thank you and you have a good day smile.gif

If you're buying a self-customised version .. please be expected .. it took me 10 weeks to get mine .. I tried pushing them again and again .. they didn't bother to expedite my order rather delaying it again and again .. the worse part was .. I saw the model I wanted from time to time (written available 2-3 business day) but my order was kept at backlog ..

You can always cancel and purchase it at a higher price when it is available .. usually it would be at least rm500 more expensive ..

Gaming laptops should take longer because of graphic card stock issues .. so be expected to take longer ..

Normally for prebuild the timing is not accurate .. just wait 2 weeks .. if they mass produce.. u shud be getting urs soon ..

U can decide to cancel if you think its too long .. maybe a new gen may be out by then .. hahaha
