Maybe slightly bigger panel drain more energy than 13.3” at 300nits, I set on 80% brightness only.

AMD good thing is no fan kicked in at too often.
Very quiet and cooling body.

Haha yesterday I did that to installed , autodesk Revit, autocad and Navisworks manage.
This is work very well. Just slightly slower to load up but very smoothly for the graphics simulation..  😍😍😂

Omg I love this laptop so much

If need more battery can consider the Mi Powerbank 3 20000mAh or this Lenovo powerbank 14000mAh (both provide charge output of 48W). Online Lenovo sells it at RM500++ but third party sell it for only RM150.

Which one is better than yours? tongue.gif  better and more value... biggrin.gif
Thanks..which model would you recommend for 15.6? Mostly used for office work only.
*
L definitely better but E is like economy or if you're on a budget. I'd go with E personally mainly because of price. E590 (intel) currently cheaper than E595 (amd), intel ofcourse the better choice.

Also you need to know the Malaysia Lenovo site max screen for E laptop is 250 nits brightness, so if you want brighter than that, better opt for different series.

I'd also max the RAM and change the HDD to SSD.

I am regretted didn’t add on WWAN LTE card into my X395 😭

I regretted didn't add 3 years carry in warranty and 32 GB RAM, but no harm as all that can be upgraded in future.

I just checked Lenovo site and apparently they allow me to upgrade the warranty. Just means i have to pay full price and not enjoy the discount on that warranty like when originally buying the laptop.

Benefon Btw, i get much much battery life after changing to "balanced" option in the power settings. Can't say actual time but the power discharges slower compared to the "lenovo intelligent power" option.

wah you got thread for that too! haha

at the moment though the 65W charger is good enough, laptop charges so fast and i don't really see a need for powerbank. also the "balanced" power setting seems to be promising. Going to give it time to see how long it actually can last.

Yalor... E590 is Rm2.3k. Waiting for citi deals 45% off so Rm1.3k lo nod.gif

It won't drop like that. Base price is already around RM2.3K. For them to offer you 45% citi discount means they will up the base price to above RM‭3,335‬ and then tell you its 45% off, main it back to RM2300.

kuci_mayong how is your T495 now?

I felt that the body cover of front and rear very plastics, the colors paint can peel off easily , even tho shipped box packaged can get scratches marks on the display top surface.
Pay cheap but the packing very comes with cheap, used with hard pvc to hold the laptop.

Can spot the marks on the top

My T495 feels good, if you have T430, it feels like that but more smoother because they mix more plastic and glass fiber (but durability should be same as magnesium body). It also smudges a lot. So far no paint coming off.

x395 bottom is magnesium but screen part is plastic (so i guess that's why you feel its plastic on top).

I am not too sure which has better overall built though, hope you can update us here on this part. Some users on reddit say T495 is better build quality.

https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comments/...5t495s_vs_x395/

https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comments/..._case_material/

https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comments/...o_much_cheaper/

From PSREF spec sheet-

T495 case material:
Display cover: PPS / 50% GF;
Bottom: PA / 50% GF

X395 case material:
Display cover: PPS/GF;
Bottom: Magnesium/Aluminum

I saw some reviews said in Lenovo forum, X395 keyboard error , has some keys no responses.
So far mine okay, everything are working fine

The machines weight exactly on 1.28kg

i think maybe similar to what i said earlier when first time get the laptop. i set the region to UK or Malaysia (or something like that), and the symbol keys were wrong (for example: if press @, i will get " instead).

After changing to US keyboard, that fixed the issue.

Yes could be, should have updated first too in my case.

Btw, just want to share with you, RAM prices really drop by 50% in such a short span. Same RAM i bought 1 year ago is now way way cheaper. Could be one reason why Lenovo able to sell so affordable.

But talk about the base case construction, I would prefer the “insert” style of X395 & T495s over the “cap in” style of T495. There’s review commending on the difficulty in disassemble and reassemble the back case of T495.
*
Just saw what you mean. You are right, T495 looks harder to open, could even break one of the plastic holder parts by doing so if too aggressive, whereas X395 is just unscrew and lift up.

If you buy silver MacBook, iPhone or iPad usually won’t have this issue. I normally go with silver for this reason.

my T495 Laptop just come.

T495. Screen is ok, good for working. but not great for home use.

wonder they come out T595 or not.
*
I also feel screen is too small. That's why itchy to get T590 or E595/590 for bigger screen. but i found a work around for my T495. Currently the screen is scaled at 150% under display settings. you can try scale it to 125% and see if it gives you more space area.
