a good notebook shouldnt break down after 3 years. My 1st DELL after 10 years still working just slow. 2nd dell until now still fine. My 3rd DELL now 4 years++ working good.
*
even apple laptops can break down, sometime it comes down to luck. I prefer have warranty, than no warranty.

Apple cares very expensive, usually no issue after exit 1 year also play safe.

yeah, their macbook warranty is outrageously expensive, but their ipad warranty is not bad (around RM250 for ipad for extra 2 years, total 3 years)

My lenovo still going strong after 7 years plus. The only thing I change is hard disk few years back, due to corrupted. Other than that, no other problem.

I always see yoga line up as too high class. Right up there with the thinkpad x1 carbon line up.

those ones still had IBM DNA inside.. different from todays chinese versions. I use a lenovo for work purposes, it usually breaks and need changing after 3 years or so.. infact, my latest 2018 model Thinkpad needs changing soon as it is leaking current from the bottom right-hand side.. every now and then I get stung by it..

Give them time, I think you will then start to see Lenovo line up being posted like how IBM line up is.

Warranty donโ€™t get discounted by the 45% discount code

So you are saying even if i add the warranty in the beginning, it will be the standard price? (assuming no RM1 promotion)

Didn't know that, now don't feel so bad!

Yes, thatโ€™s right. Warranty and accessories donโ€™t subject to the discount code%. You donโ€™t lose out much.

Thank you. This is good to know. Now don't feel so bad.

We donโ€™t really have new tech thatโ€™s a much have on general laptop yet.

USB3 is still USB3.XX today, still largely the same all be it little speed different.

Type-C port, you can get an adapter to make your USB3.0 work as Type-C port, again not really a big deal.

Thunderbolt3 Type-C port, this looks like the next best thing in computerโ€™s evolution process after USB, but it still having its fair share of limitations (canโ€™t find on AMD system yet, less than optimum PCIE lane coverage for full eGPU performance) and little market traction out there. People are waiting for USB4 to take over the role of TB3 and having a more widespread market use.

NVME SSD is faster than your conventional SATA based SSD/HDD. But a good SATA SSD is still solid bough for your everyday run.

Features aside, whatโ€™s left that differentiate todayโ€™s and 3 years ago laptop are their CPU/GPU. For really heavy user or demanding tasks like gaming and so, the upgrades bring you closer to the performance of what a desktop (3 years ago) can offer. But for people who donโ€™t need much performance, there isnโ€™t much differences.

Also design and built quality.

Nowadays seeing more ultrabooks, tablet design. Even seeing HP come out with a laptop with leather built that looks like some tailor-made bag.

BTW, my poormanโ€™s PD charger is working.

But one thing I have to admit, TN panel really sucks donkey balls... Hadnt have such an eyesore experience with laptop screen for a long time, LOL... I will start google about compatible panels now and change it once warranty is over (2 years). Who needs privacy screen if you yourself barely able to see the content on your own TN panel, LOLOLOL...

Very bad, Lenovo still selling TN Panel today

During the IBM days i used to think their display was really bad, thank god Lenovo took over and put some better displays on them.

Talk about panel, I did my customisation on P1 Gen 2 with 4K display in early August, after that till today still donโ€™t have 4K UHD display anymore, that is bad
Seem like die die must go for P53, but the price is 12k damn pricy, but can enjoy the RTX3000 graphics and OLED 4k display.
Damn no more TEN code discount anymore

Good display is probably most important part of a pc. One thing apple laptop got right was their display, the macbook air itself can be low spec, but with a beautiful display, it will make you enjoy and want to use it for long periods of time.

Yeah... their response through email is slow but nevertheless you got what you want. By the way, the 3 year is not a 3 year warranty but a 3 year on site support programme. Means they will come to you to check and repair your laptop.
*
But lets say motherboard has issue or display suddenly flickers in tha 3 years, they will still need to honor the warranty and repair your laptop right?
