xproc finally do all my unboxing video n photos.
Haha cause the box in JB , I can’t take the original box copy like you.

ThinkPad X395 is superb laptop size and weight, price not as Super high sky like Intel models.
I love this AMD Rzyen Pro 5300U very quiet unlike Intel always fan kick in.
The keyboard are awesome, key traveller very soft touch and without any pressure for typing any words.
Seem like battery life pretty good, no issue for 5 hours.
Display 300nits not as bad , seem like better than my expectations, colors very nice.
The overall build quality are excellent, I will rate this X395 : 9/10.

AMD software not bad

My conclusion is don’t think the Intel cpu in the midrange anymore, cause as usual facts on heating issue.
Anyway should try in different cpu.

Looks really good. I am enjoying mine a lot. Been using it one week and no issues. I can't even remember when the fan noise kicked in and if it does its super super low. Also, so far no heating issue for me, the laptop runs very cool. Display also super nice, the best i have seen on a thinkpad and before this, thinkpad displays were quiet bad last time, mine is 250 nits and mostly use it between 50-60% brightness in-doors. Color reproduction is great too, images look better than my other device's displays.

And lastly, although battery life is not as advertised (but still good between 4-5 hours), i find the 65W charger very good, it charges the laptop very fast (if you have phone that has fast charging, this charger gives you that same feeling of fast charging).

Btw the AMD software i only use it to turn off the navi bright (auto brightness), i don't enjoy auto brightness. Went online and could not find any solution to fix the auto brightness and here is one part i see why Intel has advantage, most of the solution was catered to Intel and installing the Intel Graphics software. So i just decided to try AMD graphics software and see whether there is an option to turn off the auto brightness. So far it works!

it came like that out of the box or did you change the power mode? i am thinking of changing to "balanced" mode but just haven't had time to thinker around.
btw, i don't think can trust that estimate, if it says 14 hours, i think the actual real life usage is more to 6-7 hours.

i am currently on "lenovo's intelligent" mode.

This is my read out, but real world usage although says 4 hours, i get more to 2 hours. Currently testing out "balanced" power option, see it can get better battery life.

Maybe slightly bigger panel drain more energy than 13.3” at 300nits, I set on 80% brightness only.

AMD good thing is no fan kicked in at too often.
Very quiet and cooling body.

Haha yesterday I did that to installed , autodesk Revit, autocad and Navisworks manage.
This is work very well. Just slightly slower to load up but very smoothly for the graphics simulation.. πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ˜‚

Omg I love this laptop so much

If need more battery can consider the Mi Powerbank 3 20000mAh or this Lenovo powerbank 14000mAh (both provide charge output of 48W). Online Lenovo sells it at RM500++ but third party sell it for only RM150.

L definitely better but E is like economy or if you're on a budget. I'd go with E personally mainly because of price. E590 (intel) currently cheaper than E595 (amd), intel ofcourse the better choice.

Also you need to know the Malaysia Lenovo site max screen for E laptop is 250 nits brightness, so if you want brighter than that, better opt for different series.

I'd also max the RAM and change the HDD to SSD.
