QUOTE(KopiChia @ Oct 19 2019, 02:45 PM) Guys even though it shows shipping date. Today my laptop money went back into my bank. I think lenovo in process of cancelling orders. I did not receive any email or call frm them. That’s normal procedure, they just charging the authorisation charges now and weekly, until they ready to ship the laptop only they will charge you the actual one.

QUOTE(ry8128 @ Oct 19 2019, 02:57 PM) Lenovo did not take the laptop money to begin with. The bank only authorized the amount, but money is NOT at lenovo hand yet. So many you need to check with ur bank how many days will the authorized money will be on hold. And very very unlikely lenovo will cancel order. if they cancel after almost 10 days, after laptop is under manufacturing, and after they had shipped out the mouse and bag, this will be very laughable. The response for canceling is legendary.I placed mine on 10 oct, 8am morning. 8.15 am, voucher expired. So unlikely got many ppl placed later than me, haha. Well, regarding the bolder part, I had said numerous times before in this thread and many others, they just nuked plenty of legit Thinkpad orders last month (mostly August order got nuked in September), after like whole month of waiting and sent out the bag/mouse. So don’t be too confident that they won’t nuke this too. We can only pray for the best.

QUOTE(TheLegend27 @ Oct 19 2019, 03:35 PM) if 18W PD with QC 3.0, meaning this can charge thinkpad also? coz thinkpad come with 65w charger Most PD compliant laptop only accept 15V/20V USB PD specs. 18W is highly unlikely to power a laptop.

QUOTE(StupidGuyPlayComp @ Oct 20 2019, 03:12 PM) In term of CPU performance, i5-8265u still better than ryzen 5 3500u Single core single threaded. If multi-threaded 3500u start to dabao 8265u. https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-ThinkP...n.434877.0.htmlYou can refer to the cinebench score there, single thread performance of i5 vs ryzen5 is about 160 vs 140; while the multi threaded performance of i5 vs ryzen5 is 500 vs 660. And the Ryzen5 multi-threaded performance is very constant and sustainable even as the laptop got heated up, unlike i5 where you will expect a drop in performance as it heated up. All of this are due to Intel’s slacking and delay in developing 10nm and smaller dies, pandan muka I would say. This post has been edited by msacras: Oct 20 2019, 03:58 PM

QUOTE(ry8128 @ Oct 23 2019, 09:53 PM) Still cant believe i able to successfully get 13s for 1k, lol. Like a dream. For those who keep talking about and hoping for the orders to get nuked, i just can lol at them.  Hopefully in future can get similar deals, even though chance is very slim, as glitch dun happen often  Again, really good job to lenovo. They really earn my respect for honoring the deal. Well, that certainly becomes a noteworthy deal to remember in the history of mankinds Malaysia Kopitiam. Honouring of cheap deals are rare but not exactly to the point of unicorn rare (lapsapdah has 20% off uncapped discount before), but on a big scale like this (easily over hundreds or even thousands), it don’t happen often.

QUOTE(warpig @ Oct 29 2019, 01:27 PM) u need only one type of laptop. and that is gaming laptop with min 1650. please believe ur unker I will consider gaming laptop once they can keep the power requirements (GPU+CPU) under 100W, then I can run it through PD powerbank. Else the battery life of gaming laptop just isn’t convincing enough. This post has been edited by msacras: Oct 29 2019, 03:12 PM

QUOTE(kuci_mayong @ Oct 29 2019, 03:09 PM) I find this hard to believe that it is a Ryzen issue, as even iPad has smooth scrolling and its not even a PC grade processor. It could be more a software issue. Were you using the same software to do the scrolling? Btw, your Ryzen machine is the X395 right? is it dual channel or single slot RAM, heard that dual channel really makes a difference in performance. Also the fact that its 16GB RAM vs 40GB RAM could also be one reason, not sure if PDF viewers use a lot of memory but anything cache normally requires RAM: CODE "When the document is displayed at 100% it may be too large to be cached. Then it has to be re-rendered as the user is scrolling through it. This may cause the scrolling process to be less than smooth." https://kofaximaging.custhelp.com/app/answe...t-is-not-smoothI have a L340 running on Ryzen and 4+8GB RAM. May be Benefon can share about the type/size of PDF that he encountered the problem, I can have a try with mine too.

QUOTE(kuci_mayong @ Oct 30 2019, 12:01 AM) Can you elaborate more here. I don't think GPU compensated for low RAM. GPU mostly for smoother gameplay and high framerate (less lag in games). Whereas standard RAM is just temporary fast storage for the PC to access instantly when it needs. How does having graphics card compensate for low RAM in non-game related processes? Discrete GPU have their own VRAM, thus sparing all the RAM to the system. Integrated GPU or APU relies on the system RAM, thus eating into the amount of RAM left for your system and works.

QUOTE(kuci_mayong @ Oct 30 2019, 12:46 AM) I am referring to non-game, non-graphic intensity processes here. I do agree GPU comes in handy for those operations. Edit: Earlier post mention 8gb is enough for him cause of graphic card. Just wondering what he meant by that. Does GPU compensate for RAM for non-gaming related activities? Even basic computing or youtubing will need some GPU power. Your system will reserve a portion of your RAM for VRAM if you’re running on iGPU/APU.
