overall of this laptop.....

good
-super snappy to use. Ryzen 7 + NVME + dual channel RAM after self upgrade
-overall heat of laptop is ok, can feel abit heat on upper side (after the Q row keyboard)
-Rapid charge is the main point to upgrade
-keyboard just like x230, but abit abit harder to press
-IO that i need for work and it has all (USB x 3, HDMI, RJ45, USB-C, MicroSD card reader)

bad
-sharp edge on palm rest area
-heavy (compare my mighty x230+9cell)
-no backlite keyboard option
-super high CP rate of Thinkpad series although Eseries is low range

advice

-Processor
Not a must to upgrade to Ryzen 7. i upgrade it because the upgrade cost doesn't much....

-LCD
LCD MUST upgrade to IPS FHD, no regret

-RAM
RAM upgrade not a must if you know DIY, few screw only to open the whole D panel.
Kingston HyperX 16G DDR4 i bought in RM276 include shipping
(Was adding RM200 to upgrade from 4G to single slot 8G DDR4, although final price of this upgrade is 50%, but still not worth)

-Wifi
From review, the realtek card is xxxx
But there is no option to change it from web, so DIY only (abit regret that intel AX200 is same price as i bought AC9260, which AX200 is wifi6)

-NVME
just upgrade to NVME, no regret (HDD option i choose dummy harddrive, add below RM100 to get NVME 256G
(lucky to get Samsung PM981 NVME, not Lite-on NVME. speed different so much)
(self change can be more worth, every thing put default and get the NVME you want... Cost should lower if compare u customize in web)

I assume one could even push it to 64Gb... but speed/timings may drop even further....

1.81KG ler......
Why not 1.75kg or lesser? Choose NVME but not hdd ma...

E495

bought a backlite keyboard for E495...

next week come will show u all.... hehe

Going to. Replace to the backlight version

Actually....
What is the difference of Ryzen and Ryzen Pro?

Proc code for both are the same, ie 3300u, 3500u, 3700u

Wireless card just arrived....
Swap n use

after i pay for that, only find out that AX200 wireless card is same price...

nvm....

Realtek 8822BE
MU-MIMO 2x2 max speed unknown, 5Ghz 80Mhz max + BT4.2



Intel 9260AC
MU-MIMO 2x2 max speed 1.73Gbps, 5Ghz 160Mhz max, BT 5.0



my house using AC2600 router, with realtek wireless card, max link speed is 866mbps. see again later tonight can go until what level

how to increase the link speed?
Stuck at 866mbps....LOL

the ping between router/gmail.com is far more stable than Realtek's
when highload of internet browsing (like 4k hdr youtube streaming), the ping still very low and constant (1ms to router, 10ms to gmail.com)

another great and worth upgrade (cost less than RM60)

5Ghz...
Found that:
1x1 mimo = 433mbps
2x2 mimo = 866mbps
3x3 mimo = 1299mbps

So, what mean by 17xxmbps from intel?

Wireless card driver from Vantage. Never try intel's but i think is the same

For anyone who will buy new thinkpad

remember to choose 65w adapter (just upgrade it for any reason)

charging is so fast

Wish me luck to make it functional

hmm........backlight no function

other key like ESC/ Caps lock/ F1 / F4's function light are working

so for any user who want to swap backlight keyboard.....wait for solution on BIOS first
