what is ur opinion? in general what to buy?

What is ur dream specs to buy?

generally all also must good. but i can't choose everything. so in general what should i choose?

Choose the maximum specs, do at one time from customised
Such as Display choose the most higher resolution and brightness
Ssd select the 512gb or 1TB
Ram go for 16Gb
Cpu no common.
Fingerprint or backlit keyboard is up to u

so which model?

Thinkapad X395 or T495

A basic specs and little warranty T495 now is a steal.

If you hand itchy to upgrade the screens and bigger RAM/storage, wait month end for CITI45.

Alternatively, E495/595 is also all time lowest price. Grab the basic specs, swap out the HDD to 256GB SSD and apply shop back. It should be just a tad over RM2k, and you got a very potent machine that supports USB C charging some more.

Hey bro, I’m a bit torn between T590 (last month CITI45 price) and T495 (assumably coming soon CITI45 price).

T590 is good because it’s 15.6”, with numpad, come with one Thunderbolt3 (all be it only X2) port and 3 years + battery warranty at RM1 each. The cons are the screen options are mediocre, only have 8GB RAM onboard (unless you topup all the way to i7 8665u VPRO, LOL) and all upgrades (storage/RAM) are far costlier than T495.

T495 win in term of the plenty of screen selections, APU (consume less power than Intel+Nvidia), 16GB soldered RAM with just 3500u (instead of only top most specs), wifi card is not soldered and upgrades are cheap (after CITI45). The cons include lack of TB3 port (less futureproof and obsolete real fast after USB4 come out), somehow throttled performances and the warranty cost extra RM299.

I searched round the net and yet found any reviews or even informations regarding the specs of the 16GB onboard RAM for T495. Since it’s an APU system, every little bit of improvement on RAM can translate into better system performance. Wondering if you know anyone with 16GB/32GB RAM T495 around which I can refer to?

To be honest T590 is good machine but bad on display.
You will regret about 45% gamut Color.
Vomit when you needs doing some photo editing.
From point of view About TB3 really suck, if you do connect your eGPU.

Windows still not stable like Apple.
At least no issue to connected all time.

For your case go for T495 with 400nits display with 16gb ram save your trouble.

I feel like I needs T590 more (numpad, intel, nvidia, TB3, cheap warranty) but my feeling more inclined to T495 as it’s a better deal, better screen, bigger RAM, cheaper storage, more balanced build and power consumption <45W (easy to charge with PD power bank)...

anyone managed to get anything from live chat? any useful discount code?

Can try to ask from live chat 🥰🥰

Ya, I know can pass to anyone.
But I don't want to risk it.
Also, I found out that the pm981a is single sided and the sx8200 pro is double sided.
Not sure if it fits or will need to flex the board a bit, but I'll see when I return at the end of the month and put an order in.
Also seems like the 2tb is out everywhere.
Can't even find from those vendor sites also.

Seriously can take some photo on SX8200 Pro?
On both side.

Well. Pre cyber sales now.

Nothing interesting and t495 baseprice bumped rm1k?

Omg 😮 better don’t order now
Actually I had suspected they will increase the base price.

Is this like that?

definitely i wanna max out. utilize their 45% discount advantage. X395 or T495? which 1 have best display?

Both of them are the same color 72% gamut.
But make sure, get X395 to select on 300nits while the T495 go for 400nits , both are the best display

14' screen is definately too small for my normal usage. Need at least 15.6 inch. Never even considered smaller screen size.the num keypads are pretty important too, easier and faster typing and gaming. Overall better value for your Ringgit would still be T590.
Dont listen to that salesman Benefon. He is trying go clear E495/T495 stocks for his company.
