My old compaq presario v3614au with amd turion x2 64 is a beast. Runs Windows 8.1 no problem. Defininetly would buy a new AMD laptop. I would have if the chips were available in more brands.

Not until they release Zen2 for Ryzen mobile.

Wanted to buy the HP Envy x360 ryzen5. Lucky held off. Hot bugger. The 45W Ryzen5 in the bigger x350 15" seems to work well. Probably software issue.


For most things, a standard i5 U CPU and enough ram (say 8gb) would be good for most things.

Get something with a 45W H CPU (doesn't matter i5 or i7) and a proper GPU if want to play light games.


I don't game and just want a lightweight machine. My fanless 6Y30 is still serving me well.

May upgrade to the 2nd gen Ryzen5 ultrabooks when they come out....considering thinkpads are starting to have Ryzen. My old X61 is still working and the keyboard is still the best.

Yeah seems max is 8gb. Can consider T495, which is also considered ultra portable but slightly bigger than x395.

It has additional RAM slot that you can upgrade yourself or customize at Lenovo website up to 16gb (total 24gb).

I'd definitely, seriously consider ThinkPad T495, with Ryzen 5, touchscreen, 3 year warranty and a lot of the "upgrades" like RM4 fingerprint.

Then I saw the resolution... just full HD. not even 1920x1200. pendek sial for laptop... once you're used to 3:2 screen you really don't wanna go back to using 16:9.

RAM is slow, at 2666 that's gonna make ryzen crawl. but probably the board cannot take higher speed anyway so...

Overall still a very very good deal IMO.

Why not... for example, Ryzen 2700U is almost equivalent to i7-8550U with fraction of price, some more it comes with more powerful Vega 10 GPU compared to Intel 620.

Yes, but i would wait for 7nm zen2 apu.

Once this comes out next year, intel is finished and bankrupt.

For x395, ram is soldered. You can pick 8GB or 16GB. Whether it's running in dual channel or not is unknown. If it's running single channel, that will gimp the performance big time. And yes lenovo does ship laptops with single channel ram with no other slot.

Of course, go for ips panel. R5 3500u minimum.

Not worth getting Amd mobile line up now. Better wait 7nm Zen 2 based APU. Having said that, some of the lineup are pretty comparable to Intel line up like 3500u/3700u on price/performance factor. For high end laptop gaming, Intel is the way to go with 6/8core parts.

really ah? thanks captain obvious rolleyes.gif

there are special kind of people buying thinkpad. it's a workhorse machine designed for typing, that's why so much emphasis was centered around the keyboard.

not caring about it, it's like buying a supercar to drive at 20kph.

I saw Lenovo ThinkPad X395 with Citibank card offer for 45% off.
But on X390 comes with Intel cpu, 2k at least more than AMD cpu.

This I not so sure but so far reviews say it's good. Only downside is heat and lower battery life compared to Intel (by more than 1 hour according to some forums).

Yeap and so far reviews quite okay. Even the Thinkpad subreddit a lot going for the T495 or X395 version of the series instead of Intel.

About par with 8250u.

If this is my purchase, I will topup a bit for R7 3700u though for as the price is only bout RM400 differences with the 45% code. 3700u has a slightly better GPU than 3500u.

I bought a 8250u dell last year for under RM2.5k (with 3 years warranty), thus this 3500u lappy cant quite convince me, may be 3700u will be give the better experience.

Maybe your not latest processor Zen2. The benchmark test is done by many 3rd party already. Intel is having problem now to produce 7nm processor. AMD is using TSMC to produce its chip

10 years many can change.
nowadays every year also amd already improve their products while intel sitting ducks.
this last 3 years amd already gaining marketshare more than intel in the desktop market and it runs cooler than intel.

this year amd starting to push their laptop to compete with intel, although not as good right now, next year will be better for sure.

Now the base price is this. Really worth it this sale.

But Lenovo is known to change prices on their website. On Citi sale that day they say I save rm2K, but last night after midnight I did a check, they say I saved rm1K. Today back to normal web price.

Nonetheless still happy cause for base model price, I got a full spec laptop.

One thing delivery is long. But hope somehow can come earlier. Before I order I check other people say 8-10 days. Maybe cause sale, they take longer to ship out due to volume of orders.

Haha for the price I willing to wait. Before this I was looking at Acer and Asus for their price. And getting a thinkpad for the same price is really good feeling.

But one thing about Lenovo is you need watch out their online pricing. They keep changing and make you feel like you save rm2K when actually it's probably less. But still the discount is good even though they play with their prices.

I hate 2 pins China/US charger head though, since PD charger itself is quite a bit bigger than say small phone charger, it’s legs can’t always have tight grip to travel adapters or so.

Native 3pins UK head is still my first priority, especially for Starbucks lepak purpose.

Hahah, I always prefer that 2 pin US / CN plug than the UK plug, usually UK plug much heavier than the US slim body.
So far no issue for me, cause I have the foldable multi plug adapter for UK 3 pin and use in MY/SG.

If wanna hangout in Starbucks, I will bring my ZMI PD powerbank as well.

Link here have lot of toys

And man, had I mentioned bout the god damn 5W deficiency for Xiaomi Powerbank? LOL.

The native charger for my Dell lappy is 45W.

It’s quite CB that Xiaomi made their 45W powerbank to deliver only 40W at most... It had annoyed me to the point it will have pop up on my Dell, LOL.

Yes this is better performance than the I5 or I7-U CPU.

If you do compare from mobile workstation, the specs were comes with H CPU.

I bought this AMD for general use purpose such as entertainment.

One thing delivery is long. But hope somehow can come earlier. Before I order I check other people say 8-10 days. Maybe cause sale, they take longer to ship out due to volume of orders.

I have 2 amd laptops now, both lenovo ideapads, one 5 years old (a8-6410), one bought in dec last year (r5 2500u).

Now I’m eyeing the ideapad s340 (nbplaza) for it’s slimmer profile and better battery life, but might just wait for ryzen2 next year.

Would love to get the ultrabook-ish asus vivobook now (techhypermart), but asus doesn’t offers the 15” version here cry.gif

The problem with amd laptops now is not the performance or heat. Battery life also no issue now, ryzen gen2 greatly improved over gen1.

The problem is, manufacturers putting low end features for most amd laptops, and positioning them as low cost alternatives to intel i3/celeron. Getting a decent high end one is hard, there’s always a trade off somewhere.

Eg. single channel ram, soldered dimms, 1w speakers, usb 3.0 gen1 ports, no usb c (seriously asus tuf???), usb c not supporting alternate mode (dp/hdmi), wifi ac 1x1, BT 4.1, 720p 15” screen (seriously lenovo L340???).

And poor cooling & heavy throttling:

Why didn’t consider for ThinkPad?
IdeaPad for more on entertainment purpose.
Asus laptop more on gaming.
Such as ThinkPad all comes with type C port or thunderbolt 3 port.
This is good for you to carry with PD adapter to reduces your weight.
Battery wise 2-3 years is consider very good d

That's why these amd thinkpads are a big deal. First time a company put in amd in their high end laptops.

Before this even Lenovo had the A series to differentiate between T and X series, only difference is like you said, lower spec quality and also lower build quality.

But this time the amd version T and X series have all the high end specs that the Intel version has including the military spec test laptop build.

Yeah, was interested in the e585 previously, but the A series still had better specs & design than E at that time, but only E series had 15" screens.

For me the highlight of the amd thinkpads are the usb c PD, and the full keyboard/trackpad on the 15" models. Looks great to type on. wub.gif

Nice sharing! I read the replies people are complaining over the amd/ryzen cpu. Well the point here is the 45% discount. You really cant ever get T and X series Thinkpad with that price. Cant even find in retail shop

As for wwan not too sure but when order that time they say you must order on the spot. Cannot upgrade in the future so i assume the wwan slot cannot be used.

As for current ssd slot, you can just open the casing and replace the current ssd if you wish to do so. This applies to both x390/x395 and t490/t495.

Haha both are Fibocom but the bottom one can’t be used.
ThinkPad does not recognised, the TOP one is bought from Lenovo serving centre after a years windows update to 1903 version, the Drivers not recognised, against cannot shutdown properly, each time force from restart.
Removed this before sold my X1 Carbon 6th Gen.
I was Guess Fibocom is the main issue, can check from Lenovo forum.

Anyways I was monitoring the Lenovo sale price. You should check it out today with WEEKEND code, seems my laptop is rm50 cheaper today compared to the Citi 45% off days.

So Lenovo does increase and reduce their laptop prices. They make you seem like you got a deal when actually that is their standard price.

Hmmmm so far mine X395.
I was done for customised in SG website vs MY.
SG at $1450 SGD and today got 41% off for National Day still around $1400.
In MY after customised of my cost is around RM4.5k after discount with offer code : EPIC18.
Now no longer can get RM3.3k with Citibank discount.

You should try to customise max as your preference.
The price may huge big gap.

Good idea, max is the way to go to save. also I notice they also tweak the configuration every now and then. For example my starting storage was 128gb, had to upgrade to 256gb, whereas today the starting storage on their site is 256gb instead.

Btw you order from SG, they deliver to Malaysia? Or you have delivery address in SG?

Getting so many issues from Lenovo.
Charged the amount to the card, then they said the funds not released and ask me to release it.
I called the bank, the bank said that the funds are charged and is currently floating.
Lenovo has to do settlement on their side so that the funds get released to them.
Lenovo never do settlement, keep asking me to ask my bank to release payment.
Problem is, payment already floating, once their sales rep or acc do their jobs and issue a settlement, the funds get released.

Small issue drag for so long, I have no hope for their after sales support and warranty.
If not for the discount, I would have immediately cancelled.

Emailed them multiple times.
I think their sales or acc don't know how to do their jobs.
After complete sales must do settlement only can receive funds.
It's not cash purchase, complete order straight away get payment.

Showed them statement twice among so many other things.
Statement says already debited from my acc.
Then a couple of days later they said cannot get the payment released.
They never do settlement how to get payment released?
Then they bill again, and again, and again.
1 day bill 2 times.
Citibank thought they are scammers rejected their transaction 2 days until I call.
Just now I sent statement again, saying the payment is floating, they only need to do settlement and Citibank will release.

I really hate to deal with these types of people.
Problem on their side but they don't know how to settle it.

X395 weight just 1.27kg vs T495 at 1.57kg
Both are different chassis and ‘X’ chassis more premium design comes with soft touch rubble paints on surface.
For T495 body cases surface very normal smooth touch more like plastic feel.
Again X series Keyboard is damn superB, once you play awhile on X series keyboard, guarantees you fall in love with The X series. 🤭

From what I know, 1 stick is single channel, 2 stick is dual channel.
It doubles the bandwidth.

Imagine single channel as 1 straw and dual channel as 2 straws.
The speed is how fast you can drink from the straw.
2 straws makes a big difference.

Maybe is due to your configuration.
Let say 8gb = single channel
Add on 16gb = double channels
Both are onboard

To be honest business laptop do not need that fast , unless you need to run rendering such as solidworks or 3D model.
If all of them you do not touch then play safe from 8gb of ram.

Just want to post this here to show you an apple to apple comparison of the discounts that lenovo offers. Doesn't mean you use the citibank 45% offer you get a better deal. For example today, there is WEEKEND code deal for 26% off. And if you compare with my earlier purchase in above post, you will see today is actually about rm50 cheaper.

Note: don't get me wrong, i am not saying the deal is bad, in fact i will only buy lenovo from now on cause price to value is too good compared to other companies. I am just saying be aware of the way Lenovo prices their laptops and the discounts they offer isn't always too good to be true. Its more that this is the price they intend to sell to you but make you belief that you are saving a lot of money.

yeah i saw something similar. i always thought dual channel requires 2 sticks, but seems nowadays 1 stick also can run dual channel. i rather get proper technical information about this rather than believe someone on reddit about it if you intend to have dual channel. a lot of misinformation online these days.

Now i think he is talking about x395 which only have 1 ram slot. so we all know dual channel requires 2 ram slot to work. so the questions is "is x395 with 1 ram slot, able to run dual channel?". I am also wondering about this.

X395 does not had additional slot for you to add on in future.

"What’s more, the ThinkPad X390 comes with two 8GB DDR4 memory chips with the dual passage."

This makes sense. All this while i thought it was 1 ram stick. So X390/395 actually has 2 ram sticks soldered in the laptop for dual channel.

This makes sense. All this while i thought it was 1 ram stick. So X390/395 actually has 2 ram sticks soldered in the laptop for dual channel.
*
Actually 8gb of ram is consider more than enough, I don’t think that everyone needs 16gb for multitasking.
Recent ssd speed good than enough to handle for opening more software at same time.

If you can please try to adding 8gb so total up = 16gb, good for future purposes

Just want to post this here to show you an apple to apple comparison of the discounts that lenovo offers. Doesn't mean you use the citibank 45% offer you get a better deal. For example today, there is WEEKEND code deal for 26% off. And if you compare with my earlier purchase in above post, you will see today is actually about rm50 cheaper.

Note: don't get me wrong, i am not saying the deal is bad, in fact i will only buy lenovo from now on cause price to value is too good compared to other companies. I am just saying be aware of the way Lenovo prices their laptops and the discounts they offer isn't always too good to be true. Its more that this is the price they intend to sell to you but make you belief that you are saving a lot of money.

I did a little check myself.

With Citi promo, price without discount (for my selected specs) is 5.8k
With weekend promo, price without discount (same specs) is 4.7k

So yes, they are playing around with the base config prices based on discounts.
Upgrades are the same price, so if you don't upgrade much from base specs, you will save a little compared to the Citi discount.

Yeah, I always recommend my friends minimum 8gb. More ram comes in handy when you use chrome and have 100 tabs open. More ram you have, better the laptop handles the opened tabs on chrome.

And with the lenovo prices, they are too darn cheap compared to other companies so makes sense getting 16gb because they price it so affordable.

Yes from the lenovo website itself.

For example you will notice one day the T495 base price will start at rm4000 but they offer you 45% off (so means starting RM2200). Another day they will offer base price at rm3000 but offer you 25% off (so means starting RM2250).

But the main point here in both circumstances, the real “actual” price is actually closer to RM2200-2250.

Nonetheless, what lenovo offers in terms of price to value is still better than the competition. You just have to be “informed” about their pricing techniques.

Yeap, if you checkout reddit.com/r/thinkpads and do a search on “sale” or “pricing”, you can see few threads where others have noticed this too and also complain about it. To me I think it’s fine and part of lenovo’s selling strategy.

Due to 54% vs 45% is a huge discount price.
Hahah in HWZ most of them are missed the good deal for a single day only.

I think this is just naming convention, they use different name. But will let you know once it has arrived.

For example I notice when I chose Ryzen 3 it mentions Vega graphics in the description but when I chose Ryzen 5, no mention of Vega graphics at all, but that chip does come with Vega graphics.

Don't just look at the processor but the whole built, especially 32GB ram, the SSD, display, fingerprint, warranty etc doubt you can get that at that price point anywhere else.

I was referring to Benefon T495 purchase. Just scroll up a bit and you can see his screenshot of the configuration.

As for X395, main selling point is portability.

Ya AMD latest offerings with it's APU actually not bad at all.

It priced lower than intel and with it's integrated graphics making it more worthy as u can play some light games in it.

Just set it to lower resolution/ settings and can play current game.

Lenovo with it's promo certainly making other maker's fights for it's shares.

I bought my ideapad S540 around 2.4k ish and non other maker's really can compares with it especially the built quality and specs in relation to it's current promo pricing.

The only painful experience is to wait for the laptop to arrives. tongue.gif

Same model? I notice those that took x1 carbon is the longest. Some have to wait till October.

X395 also have quite long wait time.

Seems T495 is the fastest but still long >20 days

To be honest this laptop was overkill, was just looking for something basic like Acer Swift 3. Opportunity and luck came so just pounce on it.

I’ve used T430 and T450, and those were great machines.

Hope you enjoy your laptops too!

UPS doesn’t give any estimated delivery now, just says “Clearance in Progress”.

I guess depends on where they manufacture lo.
These custom ones should have a hub where they produce a few types of models, and a few others maybe from another factory and so on.

Ordered mine! Can't wait for it. Thanks for the thread.

I returned my dell inspiron and request for refund coz the display was way too shirty even for normal buisness work.

T495 I opted for the ryzen 5, and with ips display (250 nits). Hopefully it's much brighter, richer and less glaring than the inspiron one.

i took 250 nits fhd too. hope the display is good enough. the issue is if you take 400 nits, lenovo forces you the wwan/broadband upgrade too and that adds rm400-rm500 (after discount) to your overall laptop price including the display. kinda wish i took the 400 nits too but was really price conscious when buying.

Anyways can always get an external monitor. i saw lenovo's thinvision m14 is around 300 nits.

I think also depends on the individual. Some prefer less brightness, some prefer more. My eyes quite sensitive to brightness so hopefully 250 nits is okay.

Btw, you should check out lazada, quite few new laptops with ryzen. And they quite affordable.

I did a search on ryzen 5 3500u, and you can get them for starting around rm2000. Quite competitive the specs too with 256GB storage. RAM ofcourse only 4GB. Here’s a sample: https://s.lazada.com.my/s.ZfWMu

Ofcourse i would still go with thinkpad no doubt.

Just wonder why the price so affordable compared to Intel?

Yes I agree, but I think the price tells you something here that we do not know yet.

Example the Swift 3 is actually most basic acer laptop you can get, suppose to have ryzen 3 but instead comes with ryzen 5 pro 3500u, which is equivalent to intel i5.

And I think your original question is still unanswered by anyone in why amd normally cheaper than intel chips.

Example the Swift 3 is actually most basic acer laptop you can get, suppose to have ryzen 3 but instead comes with ryzen 5 pro 3500u, which is equivalent to intel i5.

And I think your original question is still unanswered by anyone in why amd normally cheaper than intel chips.

No matter how cheap u can get from Acer, the bottom case is sticker sealed on the screw.
You can’t even upgrade the SSD within the warranty period, that is bad sight.

BTW such as business laptop i3 or i5 or equivalent with 5300U should be very good performance, cause we didn’t use for doing engineering like autodesk software.

AMD Ryzen Pro for 2019 products they have quota for Lenovo to pushing their sales volume, and maybe AMD given better overall market then Lenovo throwing better offer price for consumer.

For us in this batch is consider the lucky one, buying new laptop during their bigger sales.

Yeap, my next goal within few month will be looking out for deals for 16gb ram stick (making it total 32gb ram).

Another good thing is even the ssd is replaceable on the t495. So quite future proof.

My best bet is that amd suffers from a reputation deficit, that’s why cannot sell as high as intel, I see the r/thinkpad community a lot also going for the amd models instead of the intel. Some even paying same price or more than intel models.

I think you are right in that amd and Lenovo is pushing for more amd laptops and that’s why prices are lowered.

Except for thunderbolt 3 connection, the rest all are fine ,
But talk the end for midrange laptop such as T or E series are good than enough for covering our daily task.
Unless you gonna try for video editing, but I don’t think AMD cant handle as well.

Hahah, pay as what you get.
For me 3k at these crazy customised , really worth for every cents. 😅

Regarding for SSD and Ram, I have buy extra now.
All bought from Taobao

I didn't but you should just get it and also max out the spec as much as you can. Why? Cause for example the 3 year warranty is rm399 minus 45% off. Don't let the number scare you cause that 45% knocks off a lot of from original price.

Only X395 is on 45%, not?

T495 didn’t have huge discount yet here, closest only last week Lenovo SG has huge discount for it.

Can check my earlier post, I even posted pic of the t495 I got with the discount.

Btw, you're right, the next round of 45% off might be different list of laptops. Only can wait and see. It's not that far from now, just have to wait a week more.

I think someone here mentioned that the citibank 45 % and the current 26 % offer works out to be around the same due to the difference in the base prices during the 2 promo periods.

Yeap that’s me. I even posted picture comparisons to showcase it. I think even if you take my laptop that I got with 45% discount and configure it TODAY, you will still get the same price as what I paid or maybe even less by rm50.

Ofcourse there are also genuine good offers. Just don’t be fooled by their offers as they often increase and decrease their starting price.

I still recommend lenovo, their price to value still beats the competition.

RM1 to 3 years pro support is exclusively for E-series AMD lappy (495 & 595) as far as I research around. T-series is charging RM399 for that.

But in my opinion, unless it’s a gaming laptop, I would mark USB PD (type C) charging as a must check list when buying laptop, if not S540-AMD seems like the perfect Lenovo to get.

True. I'm looking at the t495 or the e595.
Both have similar specs and after configuration including the 3 year support, the e595 works out to be about rm 300 cheaper.

If you can go for T495 much better for overall body surfaces, unlike e series has roughly body surface, very uncomfortable especially at Palm rest.

Ideapad L340 is even far cheaper than them.

3500u model for RM1.8k++ while 3700u model at 2k++.

But the build quality and keyboard got Ideapad is different from Thinkpad though...

Wah, that’s bad. Limiting the upgradability of the PC. Also harder to match dual channel RAM of same size.

Actually not required to match like 8x2 or 16x2 , for latest ram running with total of combination capacity of Ram

onboard already 8gb, u add another 8gb probably the max your laptop could use. even my gaming pc with 16gb ram running vmware (4gb ram) with 3 monitors, 20+ chrome tabs could barely fill it. laptop lagi la susah mao utilize.
also, most of my office pc upgraded from 4 to 8gb (4+4) since the ram is cheap now and all running different brand but dual channel interleaved

Actually just check the Lenovo site on and off, you will find good deals.

But if you want the Citibank 45% off, you must wait last 3 days of August or Sept 2019. (But as noted, you can still get good discounts even now on their site).

I also wonder why they only offer 16GB with the Ryzen 5 Pro instead of Ryzen 7 Pro.

Maybe due to thermal throttling. Few people complained the Ryzen 7 Pro heats and slows down the performance..

Ryzen 5 Pro seems to be no such issue.

If you get x395 and max out the ram, it'll be dual channel ram (8gbx2 = 16gb ram), but both are soldered.

If you get the t495, just max the soldered ram slot to 16gb ram, and later on you can buy another ram stick and install it yourself at the second slot which is swappable.

Reason I'm telling you this is because an 8gb upgrade to 16gb on Lenovo site is quite cheap (only add between rm100-200).

for me Ram very important, just now I removed 32gb x 2 from P1 Gen 2 and plugin 16GB just bought today, the startup time and launching software are slower to compare with 64GB RAM.. seriously P1 Gen 2 comes with samsung 32GB DDR 4 2666mhz. rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif

You can get the same price I bought today. Just go check out my previous post and then configure the specs accordingly and you will see the discount actually not time limited (the current discounts as good as the Citibank discount). Lenovo plays with the laptop pricing.

P1 Gen 2 comes with 2 removable slots?

Also, I just assume you were testing the speeds, so did you replace back the 64gb ram back into the P1 after that again?

I would suggest you get 3500U if you're aiming for R5, 2500U is older architecture and the GPU performance is about 10-20% lesser (from what I can see in some game benchmarks).
The prices aren't too much of a difference.
And you need to test the notebooks to see if you like the keyboard and build quality before buying.
But I'd suggest you check out Lenovo's offering.
Even without Citibank promo, you can get a good price on their devices.

Don't compare consumer line with business line laptop.
Even comparing between business line Hp probook/elitebook, Dell latitude and Lenovo thinkpads, thinkpad seem to be in a different league in its own.

People pay double for business line laptop and its worth every penny.

There is depending what is the specs do you want.
For mine X395 after customised to max specs and get the 45% discount = 3.1k, if without huge discount the price is over 4k.
