QUOTE(syumul @ Aug 21 2019, 11:55 AM) 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. This post has been edited by msacras: Aug 21 2019, 01:34 PM

QUOTE(msacras @ Aug 21 2019, 01:26 PM) I think it support NVME, since the SSD speed is more than 6Gbps limit of SATA. https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-ThinkP...t.427304.0.html That is faster than my Acer swift 5.

QUOTE(msacras @ Aug 21 2019, 01:28 PM) 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.

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. This post has been edited by msacras: Aug 21 2019, 01:51 PM

Minimum is 1060 or 1660. I sometimes really dislike Nvidia because of this.
