To to patient lah.
What can do? I got 2 units still no update pun

Yoh guys, E495, E595 and T495 is back in action from the recent ridiculous markup, it’s time to pull the trigger!!!

P/S: E495 is seeing the cheapest price tag ever, 3500u with 4GB RAM priced at under RM2.1k, that’s even cheaper than NIGHT/45CITI. But the sad part is they increased the 3 years PRO warranty from RM1 to RM299.

E495 offer with RM1 but just for 1 year warranty only.
From Citi45 offer Rm299 comes with 3 years lor.
Thanks your update

thanks.


i think i got to wait for t495 citi45

This price seems comparable to CITI45 price. Worth to buy or wait for CITI45?

ohman time to buy now and check out with ShopBack

agree.

coincidentally, i was doing the same thing, i was comparing with your page 1 screen shot. and found that it is indeed similar priced.

i only have 2 question.

1. buy now or wait for citi45 ( applied the card last week )
2. get wwan or not ( rm400 extra roughly)

3. have you got this? from lenovo, thinkplus, 65w tiny charger. about rm120.

The power of CITI45 is that all the upgrades are also at 45% off. Meanwhile current price is comparable too as the base price is far cheaper.

So unless you’re planning to max up on all the specs like WWAN, 400nits screen, 512GB SSD & ETC, current price is not losing much (if any) as compared to CITI45.

Back on my point, I personally feel like WWAN is redundant, as almost everyone having smartphones with hotspots function nowadays. It’s also wasteful to purposely apply another internet plan for your laptop alone, which will see more limited use than say a phone.

For charger, I recommend UGREEN 65W, I bought one before and in the recent 9.9 bought another as it’s too cheap, RM60++. My priority is to get those with UK 3 pins plug as it’s more convenient to use in Malaysia where most wall sockets are for 3 pins. But like benefon suggested, if you’re bringing a travel adaptor with you on the go, 2pins with foldable pins do appear more minimalistic.

good point. no reason to waste rm400 for a wwan when i can just get a cheap power bank Rm40 and use my phone as hotspot. not like im using laptop working in starbucks

thanks, let me check ugreen 65w

The problem with WWAN is not only about the extra initial cost (RM400+, you can already buy a low end smartphone dedicated as a hotspot machine for that matter), but also on you need a separate data plan apart from your main phone data plain. It brings more inconveniences than conveniences. I will only recommend it for those ppl who use their laptop for business purposes, especially at oversea/remote areas.

Unless like SG has free data SIM card , no use is wasted then just use to it.
In MY is useless get data Sim still need to maintain the monthly fee.

sneaky lenovo bundled the 400nits T495 screen with WWAN,

when the 400nits is just rm90 extra from 300nits,

the bundled wwan and IR camera increased the cost to another rm450.

Aiyoh believe me try to get 400nits you will thanks to me.
At least the Color configuration up to 72% gamut.
The rest 250 & 300 nits both are 45% Color almost dim and grey , red= darker red and green , blue almost out from your eyes.
If you try to do photos editing its suck.

alright, should not skimp on this. screen is the whole purpose of a laptop

Exactly what I felt, screen (and it’s robustness) is always first on my priority when getting any digital devices.

But then, in this case, those additional RM450++ is not something useful enough for most ppl. So if you decide to go this path of getting the 400nits display, better wait for CITI45 as the 45% discount will bring down the price of those additional upgrades more than current 25% offer.

Alright man. Lets wait another week

Current E495, E595 & T495 offer price are good to those who don’t want to topup too much on the laptop.

The effective discounted price of those devices are at RM2k-2.2k. After some minimum upgrades like change the ryzen to 3500u and getting a basic FHD screen, the price should still be under RM2.5k, thus cheaper still as compared to CITI45 (which they will jackup 99 the minimum price).

What model? Care to share link?

When oversea, the biggest worry is the frequency/band.
