Hi, is Ideapad S340 14" AMD Ryzen series using IPS or TN LCD? Lenovo website only stated Full HD...

Lenovo RM1 Accessories deals, anyone getting it?

Reporting in with Ideapad S340 14"

AMD Ryzen 3500U
12GB (4GB Built In + 8GB Ram) - tried, can support 16GB ram
512GB Nvme WD (Ori)
14" FHD TN Panel

Pros: low temp (15w proc of coz la).. aluminium led lid.. pretty good battery life (5-6hrs youtube).. thin & light..

Cons: Wash out screen color (compare to today standard).. processor fast enough for 4K youtube/social media but not 3D rendering work..

Overall am happy for it's price.. becoz I bought it 2nd hand with 18 mth warranty for RM1500

Hi, am looking for a decent Thinkpad laptop for normal surfing purpose and presentation purpose.

Saw that AMD Ryzen is cheaper that Intel core. Seems AMD Ryzen quite tempting.

Are there any heat issues in AMD? I am considering to get the AMD Ryzen variant.

means the current AMD still not good enough? How long need to wait for 7nm Ryzen?

if you have CIMB or Hong Leong Bank credit card, you can get 25% with some code.

where to get the code

25% off is   

CIMB 20% off apply for all Lenovo model?

I am looking got Thinkpad for photo process and regular use. Not into gaming too. Prefered Ryzen too. Only saw T series have AMD but not P series

Any recommendation within thinkpad Range or better off in another brand.

Ah, screen wise is considered okay for Photo/Video editing with regards to Legion 5 as usually i read that gaming laptop screen have diff spec compare to those that were focused toward photo/video edit

So the Ryzen 7 Pro 4750U that were on T14 were not as umph as say 4000H series?

Just further check that I dont really need the P series power since I only run photo edit program and not running any rendering stuff which P series was for hence i narrowed it down to the T14 (not T14's series) with Ryzen 4750U.

Thinking of replacing my 13 year old laptop that was keep alive due to the use of SSD and max 4gb is just bare minimum for today apps    

Can you recommend any retailer that have showcase of Thinkpad model where I can have good look at it? I only know the one in PJ Digital Mall which also have its online store where most of the thinkpad listed was sold out other than the entry level's one.

Also, I just realized the newer thinkpad were not of the yesteryears thinkpads (T440/480 series) where things are easy to replace and there is no fix battery like current year model have quick look on refurb/used thinkpad and it is not cheap & they do not have good screen that I needed for photo edit. Not to mention the condition can see it was used heavily.

Is it worth waiting for the next gen Ryzen 5000 series?

I'm looking for a professional laptop for work needs. Mostly excel but I do work in large excel files and work with 3 monitor simultaneously.

If not I'll just settle with the current gen T14 Ryzen. Budget 5.5k

my ThinkPad keyboard Left "Shift" button is problematic.
do you guys know where to but the replacement keyboard other than lenovo shop, quite expensive there.
my laptop is T450s.
thanks

THANKSS! appreciate it.

Yes. I have tried disable AMD vari bright, etc.
I questioned Lenovo about the panel given as online has reviewed that the said panel only support brightness of 250 nits. However, Lenovo insists that it is a 300 nits panel unless I can prove the brightness value with some professional meters.

Yoga 530 user here. Been using Lenovo Thinkpads since 2016 when worked in a new company after leaving HP. Lenovo/IBM still the best for quality and long lasting. Bought the 530 during covid for personal use and still using, no issues with heating and screen usage, chose this as it had a separate graphics (Nvidia GEForce) card and touchscreen. Bought 2 more Lenovos for my kids to do online class as expect the laptops to last longer than HP or Dell.

Now using HP for work as new company has it issued and now even less than a year can hear the fan buzzing after 1 hour of working..heard from other colleagues the HP laptops fail after a year instead of the obligatory 3 years, quality so bad now, HP?
