Its because they are swiping your cc to try if its valid. They wont perform settlement on this charge so that you wont be billed by your cc.

Yawns. Dunno why UPS like to hold my parcel. Got import license still hold.

anyone using debit card success buying from lenovo?

bought my thinkbook using debit card.
no problem.

Nah

More review on the Thinkbook 13s. (vs the T495).

When using the ThinkBook (intel) for Chrome web browsing, i felt it performed better than the T495 (ryzen). I decided to try a benchmark for web browsing. Found one on google (If you guys know anything better let me know, i can give that a try too). True enough, the Thinkbook actually performs better than the T495 in the benchmark test.

ThinkBook 13s-IWL (i5-8265U, 8GB, 256GB SSD)


T495 (Ryzen 5 Pro 3500U, 16GB, 256GB)


Other things nice about the ThinkBook is the startup time is fast, like almost instant, for this reason I notice that i would gravitate to using the Thinkbook more just because its faster to start-up.

Built quality of the T495 is built like a tank, the ThinkBook is still okay, but not as well built as a thinkpad, you feel like you can use the thinkpad to smash something and it will still work, whereas you don't get that same feeling with the Thinkbook. Still the built and the smaller form factor of the Thinkbook is still good enough.

As for display real estate, going from 14 inch to 13 inch, it doesn't really feel like you lose much. Seems like you get the same content coverage on the 13 inch with the added bonus of it being smaller and thinner and easier to take around. Which display is better is still a bit hard to say, they are almost similar.

Battery life in the Thinkbook is amazing, I still need more time to actually gauge how much time i get, but lets just say I went the whole afternoon without a charge. Here it definitely beats the T495 and can last longer. If I were to give an estimate I would say between 6-8 hours real life usage, although the battery estimate at the battery icon shows 10-12 hours.

My ThinkBook unit actually has one defect that I found and that is a "crackling" audio sound coming from the left speaker. It doesn't happen all the time. Its on and off and happens maybe once or twice throughout the day. When I google, I see that this is a common issue in Ideapad and Legion laptops. So far i haven't found a fixed for it but its not something troubling and you can live with it cause not too loud.

Overall very satisfied with this ThinkBook 13s.

Im happy that you like thinkbook, because i sort of feel like im the one pushing/endorsing/talking about thinkbook 3 months ago.

Thinkpad is too.serious and black. Ideapad is too heavy and max 12gb ram.

Thinkbook seems like a good balance. And its cheap and good battery ( my original setting was to get i7 without GPU as i want best battery life, about rm2800 i think)

Then the 10.10 deal came.

:claps:

dont compare consumer line acer and hp with thinkpad.
thinkpad have superior built quality compared to those brands business model.

if compare consumer line ideapad with acer/ hp, lenovo price is actually pretty similar.

Its convenient, because of the startup time, small form-factor and the battery life. These are the three top strength of this Thinkbook 13s.

And I actually have a hunch that "maybe", this Thinkbook 13s (i5-8265U) is actually more powerful than the T495 (Ryzen 5 Pro). On web browsing it is yes already.

Try to open huge PDF file and do scrolling down move forward, you will notice ryzen pro isn’t fast enough

Okay will try this, maybe even got benchmark software for this type of test online somewhere haha

So i5> ryzen 5?

3 boxes this shipment.
How many shipment you got?

8th gen i5 8256U > ryzen pro 3700U
But ryzen is good enough for general usage

3 box only

Gonna get a X390 from work.
Not sure what to do with the Thinkbook.

Though my desktop is a i5-750 (from 2009)

It actually could be, but other factors also at play. Like which laptop has better cooling for example.

Anyways, found this, just ctrl+f and search "Cinebench", and you can see the Thinkbook 13s actually scores higher in single CPU score, but lower in multi CPU score.
