Hi guys, I bought my X395 last year Dec.

Until now whenever I use this laptop, it's always hot. I need to use cooling fan whenever I use my laptop.

Is it normal for the laptop to be hot almost all the time?

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.

Just an 2 cents observation.... the 4000H series are the ones that shine in performance and yet no Thinkpads/similar models this year uses it... except the Legion 5 gaming (it looses it built quality being all plastic, but otherwise should be great for application processes will being less than half of a P-series...)

It's possible that only next year's 5k series APU will be in better options...

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.

A 4800H (vs 4800U) that allows the APU to trubo-up to 72-74W... (on most multi-threaded apps) gains up to 50% more performance (4800U limited to 45W)< the APU performance boost due to cooling performance of the Legion 5...

Edit: 4800H vs 4750U:....very similar with 4800U

Legion 5 has the option for 100% sRGB panel at 144Hz fresh rate (3-5ms pixel speeds), good enough colour accuracy.... and a choice of dGPUs (1650/1650Ti/1660Ti/2060) will crush graphical/video works (even if you don't game)...

Personally, among all the thinkpads...the L15 is a good choice if it has a good panel option (for Malaysia, 300nits 100%sRGB NOT available)...

Replacing battery on the curent Thinkpad/Legion is just a 5 minute job...

Thank for sharing the info

Its a pity that Malaysia dont have much choice with regards to config for thinkpad. Build wise, does L15 comparable to higher tier Thinkpad? I mean thickness is not a problem as I tend to park my laptop at one location most of the time. Not sure about other build aspect.

Open for you guys , for those wanna chats in WhatsApp

New user for Lenovo.
Just got my Yoga C940 (i7, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) before CMCO started, took a week to order.
As being used almost 3 weeks, everything seem quite ok for me.
Battery life depend on what programe being use.
Window speed quite ok compare with HP Pavillion (i5, 8GB RAM, 256SSD), and my 7years old Asus S550 (i7, 8GB RAM, 24GB SSD+1TB HDD)

Any idea or tricks for the touch-screen gesture (similar like Samsung Note hp??).
still working on how to make use of the touch screen

After having my lenovo v470 for 9 years, it's about time i lookup for a change. I saw IdeaPad Slim 5 (14) looks promising and price is good. Anyone using it? and how was it?

Just placed my thinkpad T14 Gen 1 (AMD )from Lenovo website.
And customized my preferences, surprisingly choose from R5 Pro 4650U to R7 PRO 4750U is RM0. Then upgraded to 16GB onboard RAM ( extra slot available), 300nits touch screen, 6-row Backlit keyboard, 65W AC Adapter Slim Type C.

Total after applied discount code BIGSALE 15% off
RM2,957.58

After I will get another 4.5% cashback from shopback.

I actually choose between L15 Gen 1 and this T14. And finally go for this.

I have been looking at this since last week. The free upgrade from ryzen 5 to 7 only available since Tuesday. Did u choose 3 or 4 years on site warranty since the difference is only ~rm250?

No, only choose carry in 1Y.

when is the estimated arrival? I'll be making an order by today.

as stated 6-8 weeks.
Remind that T14 Gen 1 don't have fingerprint option to choose. But I am ok without it.

Nice deal!I might consider it as well!

Good spec.
What is the SSD size?

I was eyeing T14s(AMD) but end up X13(AMD).
The waiting is soooooooo long.....

Hope lenovo shipping no delay. But read many comments saying that shipping taking longer than usual.
