Hi forumers..i checked my lenovo shipment just now and it states that “An import license is missing and is required for clearance”.

Usually how long will this be solved? The item already arrived in sepang.

Get R7 only if you need the slightly better iGPU

300 nits vs 400 nits in T495s or 300 nits X395 vs 400 nits T495s?

The warranty upgrade depends on you, personally I think 3 yr premier onsite is good enough

Vega 8 is about the performance of MX150 10W with dual channel RAM and higher power limit

Max budget you can go? No preference on battery life?

After months of procrastination, am really on the fence to get t495s this round. The price is really tempting.

Just a quick check if t495s will come with an empty ram slot of I choose the 8gb ram option?

And also considering between the 300nits touch vs 400nits non touch - don't really need touch but seems like will be a useful additional feature. Will the 400nits screen be significantly better?

T495s has all soldered RAM, no slot

The 300 nits touch is low sRGB. The 400 nits low power one is high sRGB

Can consider Thinkpad T495 / T495s / X395

If you prefer Intel+Nvidia: Thinkpad T490 / T590

Note that T495s and X395 have all soldered RAM

Vega 8 should be sufficient. 18W power limit is not ideal but with dual channel RAM should be OK (comparable to MX150 10W)

If you want MX250 25W can consider T490

thx alot man. u r extremely helpful. i didnt even realise the integrated graphic is AMD radeon v8.

last one, since all of my spec almost max out. do you think its worth it if i bump to ryzen 7? i heard its not worth it because of throttling issue due to heat. but just want your opinion.

No problem

It has slightly better iGPU. Not worth the upgrade IMO

Do you guys think this Lenovo S740 (around RM3.5K) is a great buy? I noticed this model doesnt have any discount during the 11.11 sales. So I wasn't in a hurry to buy it at that time hmm.gif

Would still rather get Thinkpad T495 with 400 nits panel TBH, or even X395. Similar CPU and GPU performance: Ice Lake isn't really that faster despite 10nm, while the MX250 is probably 10W variant. Unless you want AX WIFI, faster RAM and don't like the look of Thinkpads

But I notice the T495S and X395 is RM400-RM500 more expensive. Do you think its worth the extra cost? Or I better wait for black Friday / year end sales

Alright, thanks for the reply. I think im going look around more while waiting for the next sales. Will seriously consider your recommendation.
Do you think i should look at other brand besides lenovo? I do love the XPS 13 but the premium price is a turn off.

I'm not recommending 'brand'. If a model is good then I'll recommend. For all the good options, refer to regular laptop list

business grade > consumer grade. XPS 13 isn't worth the money IMO when you can get really good business laptops
