Alright... Buy buy buy!

Bought already still wanna buy?

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

I think if you need to decide you should go and test them all in store or watch some youtube reviews online. Maybe your local lenovo store has all these 3 models to test.

Personally I would go with T495s (among the 3 models you listed) mainly for the bigger screen and it has dual channel ram (advantage over the Thinkbook 13s which only has single channel RAM). I also prefer the Thinkpad built quality over the Thinkbook 13s. It also has USB-C charging which the ThinkBook 13s does not. Only cons is the fan will blow on the right, so if you use mouse on the right you will feel hot air.

Thinkbook 13s overall is quite nice also and its benefit is the thinness of the laptop and the battery last really long. I have never had a laptop that can last so long. Although single channel RAM you can upgrade it to 32GB which is quite high for laptop in this price range. Personally I can get a whole afternoon out of it (like more than 6 hours) but other people and reviewers say they can get up to 9-11 hours. I also think the Intel processor handles display scaling and basic task like Chrome web browsing and PDF viewing much better that the AMD Ryzen processor (Sometimes you can see AMD laptop a bit jittery or notice some lag compared to the Intel laptop - at least for me). The display is HDR and it does seem a bit nicer because of the warmer colors, colors seem more accurate (aside from the yellow tint that goes away once you eyes have adapted to the screen - however not everyone likes yellow tint displays). One issue with my Thinkbook 13s is it got audio crackling on the left side speaker (its on and off issue).

Yes...

Just update my new AX200 and AX201 bought during double 11 from AliExpress.

I jumped the gun with the wrong conclusion.... The LCD panel I got was actually the "VESA400 HDR with Dolby Vision™3, Touchscreen, 500 nits"....indeed a nice unexpected surprise when I cranked up to brightness to the max...

omg so nice

I am using with WD SN750 ssd now.
There’s not much different between Samsung 970 Evo plus.
If your laptop background data still in running, the speed may reduces.

Hi,

thinking of buying a Lenovo notebook to replace my Surface Pro 4. I have some questions as this is my first purchase of Lenovo product.

1) Is customer service and support of Lenovo Malaysia ok?

2) Whats the difference between Thinkbook 14s and Thinkbook 14?

3) Is there any shop in Penang which I can see the demo?

Except weight and graphic card wise maybe is battery.
14 can able to use type C charger , 14s must be use the slim tips

ThinkBook 14s:
Whiskey Lake
1 SODIMM slot
Radeon 540X 2GB
1 NVME M2


ThinkBook 14: << though not available on the Lenovo MY site, not shipped/in market yet.
Comet Lake
8GB soldered + 1 free slot (dual channel)<<assumed
Radeon 625 4GB
1 NVME M2 + 1 SATA

45Wh battery with 2 drives, 57Wh battery with the NVME drive only.

Actually: Both 14 and 14s has slim-tip power ports.... and both has one usb-c 3.1 gen2 (10Gbps) that can do power delivery too, 14s however has an extra usb-c 3.1 gen1 (5Gbps)...

Type C Baseus Magnetic Adapter
Make sure modify a bit, otherwise the male connector come out easily.

Is this one same as 65w lenovo charger? For x395

Can , 200 percentage can charged

use any specific cable for 65w or just use any cable?

Can search about Ugreen or Baseus type C cable for 100w or 60W one.

this is the 3500 pro, in an x395, completing the pcmark10.
no thermal throttling even though some of the CPU core hit 93deg intermittently.

till now nobody tried yet with their higher spec 3700
would be interesting to see if 3700 can hit max without being bogged down by the cooling system

sure this is a benchmark. but its pcmark.
it tests the speed of normal daily computing tasks.
if a PC gets bogged down by opening spreadsheet and word processing and web browsing, well something is amiss..

Use AMD uProf for monitoring, hwinfo64 not reliable for AMD mobile APUs

Run a series of Cinebench or run Aida64 to find out the thermal limit

cinebench or aida doesn't represent normal, general computing usage.
CPU/GPU load using word processing and excel and photoshop is vastly different compared to cinebench and aida. pcmark is a more realistic benchmark to simulate normal daily computing load.

but sure i'll check again with uprof to see if it throttles.
