I guess you need the laptop now and cannot wait further?

Need high sRGB display? (low sRGB display will have washed out colours)
Mind non-upgradeable RAM?

How did you manage to get it for RM3340 only? Used LENXCIMB at it was cheaper to use the code WEEKEND. However the price is still higher and came up to RM3,690.

FYI webcam in laptops is mostly suck. Audio quality is OK only for most models.

Can wait for Thinkpad with Ryzen 4000, not sure when arrive though

Even business laptops usually have higher reliability, they also have lemon units

Hello boss,
I spent some time looking at the Thinkpads and found that the X1 Extreme Gen2 (appears) to have some discounts right now.

Specs I configured:
QUOTE
Intel Core i7-9750H Processor (2.60GHz, up to 4.50GHz with Turbo Boost, 6 Cores, 12MB Cache)
16GB DDR4 2666MHz SODIMM
512GB Solid State Drive, M.2 2280, NVMe, Opal
15.6" FHD (1920x1080), LED Backlight, IPS, Anti-glare, 500nits, with Dolby Vision HDR 400
NVIDIA GeForce GTX1650 4GB GDDR5 128bit
Total cost is RM7,562.

I'm thinking even if I waited for the next gen with newer components, the prices would probably be higher for similar performance. So perhaps better to get the current generation now ?
I'd appreciate any input you may have on this. notworthy.gif

X1E don't have good cooling, 25W 4600U/4700U probably will perform better in multi core
