T495
Bought in 8/8 = RM2899
The exact same configuration today will cost me = RM3526

Saving = RM 627
Weird how Lenovo work their cost structure. Happy me lol.

BTW I'm still waiting my T495 to be delivered. Suppose the delivery yesterday but seem got held up. Maybe Today?

Lenovo play around with the base price from day to another, best is to monitor beforehand and know the lowest/average price, then pull the trigger when there’s real sale/deal.

If you have Citibank cards, end of this month should have another sale for it.

I’ve been monitoring E495/595 since the start of this thread. The lowest it can go is bout RM2.1k (discounted) base specs. Now you go check the price got markup another 1k, LOL. I will wait for this weekend or next then see. Worst come to worst, there’s student price for 2.3k anytime now, better than nothing.

I think it support NVME, since the SSD speed is more than 6Gbps limit of SATA.

I noticed most laptop nowadays come with soldered onboard RAM + another slot for expansion.

I will choose 8GB (or for T495 even better, can select 16GB) onboard soldered RAM. Then add on another stick of RAM separately (aftermart).

SLRcom With the prices that lenovo offers, its better to max the RAM, I took 16GB RAM, but another fellow member here took the same model and maxed the RAM to 32GB, probably only difference in price was RM200 for that RAM upgrade. If you check Lazada, 16GB RAM is selling for RM300 atleast.

Yup, this should be the SATA interface. The limit is about 500+MBps

I think onboard 16GB is future proof enough.

Just plug in another 8GB stick to run dual channel for the time been, while in far future if needed can source for 16GB stick when the price really comes down.

One perks of E495/595 is their RAM are not soldered if I not mistaken. That way you can change or upgrade as you desired.

There’s both NVME and SATA SSD. In this case I bet it’s SATA, as NVME interface SSD usually speed over 1k.

1050, 1650 all crippled GPU.
If they give an option for that, never take it.
Minimum is 1060 or 1660.

I sometimes really dislike Nvidia because of this.
