It won't drop like that. Base price is already around RM2.3K. For them to offer you 45% citi discount means they will up the base price to above RM‭3,335‬ and then tell you its 45% off, main it back to RM2300.

My T495 feels good, if you have T430, it feels like that but more smoother because they mix more plastic and glass fiber (but durability should be same as magnesium body). It also smudges a lot. So far no paint coming off.

x395 bottom is magnesium but screen part is plastic (so i guess that's why you feel its plastic on top).

I am not too sure which has better overall built though, hope you can update us here on this part. Some users on reddit say T495 is better build quality.

From PSREF spec sheet-

T495 case material:
Display cover: PPS / 50% GF;
Bottom: PA / 50% GF

X395 case material:
Display cover: PPS/GF;
Bottom: Magnesium/Aluminum

Even bottom is plastics feel. I dunno 🤷🏿‍♂️
Cause I had remove the bottom cover before.

You also got the T495 coming soon right? haha then we will get the definite answer. So far i am very very happy with built quality. Feels good to carry around without sleeve or backpack.

Btw i updated that post with one more link:

Haha u have read from reddit.
My T495 will let go after get it on hand.
Try to get something news

Yeah one good thing about thinkpad is the community behind it. Easy to find troubleshoot if have any issues.

So far mine x395 has not an issue, yesterday windows update , after restarting when login windows showing error on Face ID, but I didn’t set on it, after switch on fingerprint again it is work fine, no more issue already.
I heard somebody complain about keyboard issue.

What type of keyboard issue? so far so good. love to type on this machine.

I saw some reviews said in Lenovo forum, X395 keyboard error , has some keys no responses.
So far mine okay, everything are working fine

The machines weight exactly on 1.28kg
If compare to X1 Carbon level , the Wright so much lighter than all those laptop.

i think maybe similar to what i said earlier when first time get the laptop. i set the region to UK or Malaysia (or something like that), and the symbol keys were wrong (for example: if press @, i will get " instead).

After changing to US keyboard, that fixed the issue.

Maybe is during fresh windows and Drivers before update could be happen.

Yes could be, should have updated first too in my case.

Btw, just want to share with you, RAM prices really drop by 50% in such a short span. Same RAM i bought 1 year ago is now way way cheaper. Could be one reason why Lenovo able to sell so affordable.

But talk about the base case construction, I would prefer the “insert” style of X395 & T495s over the “cap in” style of T495. There’s review commending on the difficulty in disassemble and reassemble the back case of T495.

Just saw what you mean. You are right, T495 looks harder to open, could even break one of the plastic holder parts by doing so if too aggressive, whereas X395 is just unscrew and lift up.

Actually on the center of x395 base cover has tiny clip on the cover to lock on the body chassis.
You need to force to lift up and open out the rear case.

Whoever get the X395 can able to upgrade for SSD or WWAN card only. The rest nothing can touch.
For T495 at least you can manage to get Ram upgrade.
