Not need heard , it’s real world speed.
https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel...566107vsm765724

Actually AMD Ryzen pro speed is good than enough without any issue like cpu fan kick in all the times.
Cause nobody wish their laptop to become very warm after usage an hour.

T495 comes with extra ram slot for you to add or when you customise can do upgrade at same time for Max 32gb or get 3700U onboard 8gb + 16gb ram.
Vs X395 Max 16gb Ram onboard.

Display size 14inch for T495 while the X395 just 13.3inch.
T495 has 400nits display while the X395 just 300nits for FHD.

The rest all same.

Ya one more thing is T495 without backlit keyboard only.

X395 can hold more than 8-9 hours
T495 can last for 6-7 hours.

Tonight 12am or next morning has Citibank card 45% discount for selected models only, I’m not sure about T495 or X395 doing the same offering again.

After configuring the T495, it came up to about 100 more expensive than before the citi promo.
Difference is got rm 1 add on for sealed batt replacement and free accidental damage protection so seems to be more worth it this time.

Not exactly much saving (as compared to NIGHT) if you're not maxing up on the configuration.

X395 on the other hand can get to a little lower than 3k configured (not maxed up), that is indeed notably cheaper than normal days (with NIGHT).

E495 with CITI45 is able to get to 2.1k++, which is a little cheaper than their pre markup price.

Whats really fun to configure at is X1 Extreme Gen2, that one is compatible with CITI45 and have configurations for 32GB RAM, 2x1TB SSD, 500 nits display and so, LOL.

My previous build on T495, using NIGHT = RM3056
Tried other code just now for same configuration (Inc 3years warranty add on)
MERDEKA = RM3763.95
CITI45 = RM3216.65
So as for T495, NIGHT is better but it is unavailable currently.

Must you use a citibank card to utilise this code? CITI45

When can you use the 'NIGHT'code?

Yes, a citibank card is a must for CITI45

NIGHT shall be able to use after 9pm Sun to Thurs, but last few days seems to be unavailable, however I tried it's available just now before 12am (before MERDEKA eCoupon). So I assume it will be available again after the MERDEKA code is over. (just assumption)

I would say real life use for T495 is closer to 5 hours after having used it. But no issue as the 65W charger charger the laptop really fast. Like 1 hour and the battery is almost fully charged.

You see they even dare to markup 99 on Y530 (last gen) and give it a discount and call it a sale, TOPKEK.

Well I haven't used a laptop for quite some time. More of a desktop user. But now for my office I need something that's small as there's not much space to put a desktop.

Bought a dell inspiron in July but the display was so poor that I can't stand using even just for Web browser work. It was a ryzen 3, 4gb ram 1tb hdd, and some display probably inherited from the 2000s. hurts my eye when looking at it. Very lag even just for Web browsing.. Had it returned for refund. Then wen laptop-less and started to look around for other options.

Saw Benefon's thread at /k, and thought hey why I don't I try this. Used a coupon (forgot which one) but after adding ryzen 5 and the 250 nits display, came to about rm2500 (I checked today the same spec will come to around rm3400)

Can't be happier with my purchase. My first time owning a computer with ssd. My first Lenovo product as well. I'm really loving it.

In retrospect, I should have just added more RAM probably to 16gb and the display to multi touch. Maybe I didn't want to over commit due to just start new business.

My ratings for my T495:
1. Ergonomics 7/10: touchpad responsive, not the best keyboard I've tried on. maybe need some getting used to
2. Display 8/10. on the IPS wit 250 nits option, looks like something from the yesteryear but not to bad. at least it doesn't hurt my eyes.
3. Performance 10/10: for what I need to use for, I give this full marks.
4. Value for money 10/10. No further comments.

By maxed the specs, u mean the internal ram and 400 nits display?

Yeah, whatever you can afford, try to max it. For me personally I prefer as much RAM. My mistake when I bought last time was I went with 16GB RAM when the 32GB would have only set me back rm200 more.

Even if you buy outside from third party, the 16GB RAM sticks cost RM300. So you can see that you actually save by configuring with Lenovo.

Gen 1 no longer available, just look on Gen 2.
Both machines are the same, comes with 2 ram slot and 2 PCIe slot.
Only the X1 extreme come with GeForce graphic while to P1 for workstation configuration with Quadro graphics

Got some funny issue when I tried to install latest version of MS office.
I tried to uninstall all other versions by right clicking and uninstall them, but this Word app keeps appearing on the start menu.
Tried to press uninstall, go to add/remove programs and see nothing there, add/remove apps also not there.
Tried looking at start menu shortcuts in explorer and couldn't find it.

Hi,

I'm interested at either the T495 or the X395. Just want to ask feedback from any users here regarding the battery life. I saw some users saying that they can expect 8-9 hours from the X395 and 6-7 hours from the T495 on moderate usage. (web browsing/some video). Could any other users confirm that? Kinda hard to find reviews online even on Reddit. Haha

Hi everyone, I have some questions that hopefully can be answered by the thinkpad owners who ordered their unit(s) online directly from lenovo.

1. From where the laptop is being shipped, and how long does it take to ship to Malaysia?

2. How does warranty claim works for the laptop? Do we send the laptop to the nearest service center in Malaysia, or have to be shipped back to where it came from to be serviced/exchanged?

3. When will the NIGHT code be available again? Was so tempted to buy previously, but sadly the code doesn't work anymore now haha.

Thank you in advance for your replies sifus!

Basically 3 - 6 weeks for shipping.
While for NIGHT promo, not idea but you can try on weekdays after 9pm/10pm or perhaps try asking the live chat, not sure whether will they tell or not

asked on live chat for promo code, sometimes they will give better code. I purchased mine before only later then knew they provide better discount code on live chat. Straight ask on chat to cancel the current order and I made new purchase order with the better discount code

From order and get on hand is depending which model are you looking for.
Current model such as T495, X395 both take more than 4 weeks to delivery.

Warranty or issue you might do a live chat and log in the case before they visit you on-site.
So far just top up Rm299 for premier / on-site warranty is worth for money. Otherwise just remain on 1 year carry-in.

Currently they has huge Merdeka offer just wait it gone lah.
Since they have night offer you miss out the chance.
Or try to apply Citibank card then this month last 3 day of September still can enjoy the 45% off.
Otherwise just wait after next week check again 🤔🤔

Do you guys continually renew your thinkpad warranty after it expires or just bring to repair shops for service after warranty over?

Considering thinkpad T series being a business grade laptop, how long can it last (moderate usage) without any issues, and how much would it cost to repair compared to consumer grade laptops?

ThinkPad very durability.. I don’t think you need upgrade or extended warranty from 3 years onward.

Lenovo ThinkPad or dell also visit your home/office for repair or bring parts alone and change at same time.

Consumer grade must be bring in to their services center.
Don’t think has issue, for example like battery need to replace new, must be bring in to their services center right.

Anyway can try to live chat with the customers services support will do

To me, the biggest downside with most modern ThinkPads is the sealed battery. Even if the other components in your laptop are in top condition, the battery will eventually lose capacity. On old ThinkPads,you simply swap it out. Now you need to unscrew the bottom lid and do it yourself (or send to Lenovo or 3rd-party shop if you're not good with a screwdriver). Second biggest "perishable" component is the keyboard, particularly if you do heavy typing. Ease of change varies by model. Some you can change from the top, while others require you to open the bottom and remove certain sections before gaining access to the screws holding the kb. I did a lot of research to ensure the model I recently ordered could have its kb changed from the top.

My old X220, purchased late 2011 (Intel Sandy Bridge era) is still running strong. Came with 2yr warranty at the time, iirc. I never bothered renewing anything. Replaced the 9 cell battery about 3 times and I switched out the keyboard once. Upgraded to a faster SSD around 2014 or 2015. Also gone through about a dozen trackpoint nipples. All done myself (so easy even an incompetent politician could do it). Screen is a bit washed out now, but overall it's been running without issue. I run Arch Linux on it currently. Still flies for most daily tasks, though it obviously suffers with playing some HD x265 video or bloated Electron/Javascript stuff - not much lag per se, but the fan goes full blast. One thing I like about old matte screen laptops is they can go really dark at their lowest setting, which is great working at night with the lights off. New laptop displays are still too bright for me even at lowest settings. Same for phones. On my iPhone, I always turn on the "reduced white point" accessibility setting before I go to bed. If not sure kena eye-rape if wake up midway to answer messages or emails.

I doubt my new X390 will last as long as my X220, but if I can get decent use out of it for half that time (say 4-5 yrs), I'll be content. Not hapy, but just content. I don't expect much from most modern laptops, tbh. I was lucky because I was able to get 3yr accidental damage protection and 3yr battery add-on for extra RM1 included in the price, along with the standard on-site warranty. The day I bought, only the X390 and T490 had these options included for RM1, though I think it changes every few days. Not sure if the AMD models (X395, T495) have the same offer or not.

Also worth noting that not all ThinkPad series are built the same. The X, T and W/P series are made a bit tougher, closer to the old ThinkPad standards. The E and L series are more like IdeaPads dressed up as ThinkPads. Lastly, that MIL-Spec thing is bullshit, whatever the series. ThinkPads are probably more rugged than your average MacBook Air or HP Envy, but they're definitely not "military grade". The only MIL-Spec laptops are Panasonic ToughBooks.

Agreed, MIL grade in 'normal' laptops is just marketing thing

L series is business grade btw (similar to Latitude 5000 series)

Yesterday I’m Super happy with AMD performance, cause no issue to handling with autodesk Revit model.

The battery life keeps more than 10 hours to go.
X395 fully charged bring to outdoor can almost forget the powerbank as well.

Actually AMD Ryzen Pro 3500U can handles many heavy softwares such as autodesk and design software as well as programming software.
AMD processor fan rarely to kick in, this is quiet, really feels like using ipad or those tablet.
Keyboard are nice, IPS 300nits are great colors also lightweight can carry everywhere if you wanna do presentation.

I love this machines so much 😍😍😍

Right now (3rd Sept 9:15PM) the Lenovo site has gone crazy. See the new price of the X395;

user posted image

WTF?! I checked, and that price is with the lowest specs (TN panel, slowest processor, 8GB RAM) so it’s not even upspec model. Something is definitely wrong.

Worse yet, I logged in to check my order status (X390) and the stupid thing is now saying “action require to remove credit block, please contact support”… Already contacted my bank and they never block anything and the transaction history is still showing the money being credited. Wtf!! Need to contact Lenovo support tomorrow morning. Hope it’s just some website issue. If this order tak jadi I’m going to be very very pissed.

The weird thing is all other laptops are still same price. Only the X395 and T495 prices have jumped like mad. Maybe they have some special coupon for these two model at checkout that brings the price down again? At the moment, the AMD models are more expensive than the Intel models, which doesn’t make sense.

Haha I had check their price quite often before during crazy sales.
Usually is after the huge offer they will increase the base price.
Maybe they have an issue like back orders , so they don’t mind you purchase others models.

Ah, that makes sense. The X395 price during SCHOOL/WEEKEND/MERDEKA offer time was really good, so maybe Lenovo got more orders than expected. Still funny though - now the Xseries page says "starting at RM2,9xx" atthe bottom but there's no model at that price now. First time visitor sure confused laugh.gif

I am actually targeting on getting the T495 model, considering it only costs around ~RM2.3k with base specs for a business grade laptop. Was skeptical about it as I'm left wondering why it's so cheap while physical stores normally sells it for nearly RM5k for the same exact model.

Was taking my sweet time researching on it, understanding what makes business grade laptop superior compared to consumer grade, was it worth sacrificing on specs for reliability etc...

When I finally decided it is the right laptop for me on Merdeka day itself, Lenovo friggin adjusted the price by nearly doubling it (~RM4k+ as of now rclxub.gif ) even after the new 'MERDEKA' code is applied. The 'NIGHT' code is still available currently, but the discounted price is nowhere near where it was few weeks ago.

What is ur purpose for usage of ThinkPad?
Design
Work
Engineering
Architecture
Entertainment

If entertainment and light drafting for cad can go for AMD ThinkPad T495, X395 or E495, E595

Actually I’m using X395 for design and drafting from Revit model and doing the autocad as well.

Architecture in 3D u need to consider for Comes with Quadro graphic card like P series.

Those X1 extreme Gen 2 or X1 Carbon all for entertainment purposes only.

So far so good! Very satisfied. I was amazed by the speaker at first haha, the sound for me is excellent.
Weight wise consider really lightweight for me.
Battery wise, currently set threshold at 70/80. But just now fully charged at 80% and I unplugged the charger, instantly dropped to 79%, wonder if it's normal? Last 4 hours 30mins just now for surfing Facebook, LYN, YouTube, FIBA Streaming. Hope it gets better for next round haha.
The material used is actually good, the soft plastic have a very nice touch feeling, smooth surface but the con is that it easily get stained with finger/palm "ink" or water droplets. Can know that the colour will start to wear off in the future. So, I might apply the carbon sticker like you did! Hahaha
However, I'm more than happy and satisfied to own this laptop!

P53. Better thermal management.
i5 version should be within your budget
Or get P52. Could be slightly cheaper

if i heard correctly...
the boss need to buy a decent working laptop for his no.1 staff... the user need to use it to connect to sound system / graphic design / live video software... i think will do some photo and video editing/rendering and live video feed software
with 50 video input over wifi 5ghz etc... the sound mostly will not rely to laptop speaker coz mostly they have own output and if video rendering will use headphones...

i thinking draft a core i7, 32gb, 1tb nvme ssd with option to add 1tb later, screen FHD, 15" min, graphic min nvidia 1650...

in my mind is x1 extreme but i worry thermal issue and they can have heavier laptop coz portability not a concern for them...

any other choices which can use CITI45 later?

I am actually targeting on getting the T495 model, considering it only costs around ~RM2.3k with base specs for a business grade laptop. Was skeptical about it as I'm left wondering why it's so cheap while physical stores normally sells it for nearly RM5k for the same exact model.

Was taking my sweet time researching on it, understanding what makes business grade laptop superior compared to consumer grade, was it worth sacrificing on specs for reliability etc...

When I finally decided it is the right laptop for me on Merdeka day itself, Lenovo friggin adjusted the price by nearly doubling it (~RM4k+ as of now  rclxub.gif ) even after the new 'MERDEKA' code is applied. The 'NIGHT' code is still available currently, but the discounted price is nowhere near where it was few weeks ago.

gg boys  bangwall.gif

Right now (9PM onward, 9 Sept) prices of X395 and T495 seem to have dropped again. Not as low as a couple of weeks ago; X395 starting RM3,265 / T495 starting RM3,407, so if you up-spec either model with the usual upgrades (Ryzen 5, 1080p, 16GB, 256GBNVMe, 65W charger) will probably touch $4K mark. There's also a new T495s. Coupon code is "NINE", so I'm assuming it's from 9PM to midnight today only?

X395 is small, so it’s more forgive-able if they throttled some performance for that. T495s is a 14” and should compare to T495 (which already having throttled performance).

Apparently Lenovo further constraint the power to only 18W for T495s, unlike 22W for T495. And even with that the fan still somehow underperformed.
https://www.notebookcheck.net/The-ThinkPad-...g.426908.0.html

“We start with the good news: The pulsating of the fan while idling on mains, which is a common issue on many current ThinkPad models, is no problem here. The fan is not very loud in general, either, and often runs at a very low speed, but the frequency is very high and the resulting noise is subjectively very unpleasant. It does not seem to be an isolated incident since both test models suffer from the same issue. The ThinkPad T495, for example, does not have this problem.”

I own many Intel models, very serious Ryzen Pro 3500U is good than enough.

Has not issue like Intel booting up on turbo mode.
Less heat issue on my palmrest with less cpu fan noisy sound.

Haha just up to you, if this time Citi45 still doing that offer.
Just get the T590 lah.
I have no comments.

Actually the 16gb is best configuration. I tried to switch to 16GB after order but Lenovo rep informed that need to cancel 1st order and reorder again.

I feel too troublesome and just keep the 8gb.

You will enjoy the 16gb once you receive the x395.

There’s still a great hope that X395/T495 (or even more optimistically speaking, X1 Extreme & T590?) will make the comeback.

Fake .
Tried CCS .. does not work.
Chat with the customer service , they said the Cyber sales codes already offering better , therefore no deal for Citi .

And specially mention " UP TO" .. doesn't mean is 45% across all board ...so for x395 series .. mainly 25-35% + the 3 years support etc .

It’s safe to say that CCS is still offering 45% across the board like CITI45 did, at least to the current lineups.

The femes SKUs like X395 and T495 are not under the CCS code at the moment.

We need to wait till 30th September as they claimed and see if they include those into the CCS. Unlike previous sales that last for 3 days end of each month, this time round it last till 6th October. They might still change the items once or twice, my prediction.

TL;DR, get your citibank card ready. laugh.gif

DAMN, my prediction is wrong by half.

I guessed correctly that they will refresh the item listing 2 more times (this time last another 3 days, and the promo will end by 6th, so should expect another refresh ahead), but I didn’t expect that they changed nothing on the list except from E595 to E495 doh.gif

Can they just drop in the X395/T495 already? rolleyes.gif

Docking station works wonder!

Poison by Benefon… reviewing from T470s, so this X395 is slight smaller in size only.

First impression on performance is quite durable comparing to T470s i5, thus I'm quite happy for overall package.

Personal downside is there is no LAN port anymore on these new series of Thinkpad. There is no battery extension as well, but x395 on full charge is OK for me.

Lol nice setup.. btw LAN port for office use, cause need to access office intranet server.

External battery can be use with powerbank type C PD one.
Can refer here, for powerbank
https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=4556337&hl=

For those home user, we have wifi connection, not an issue.
Currently I am awaiting my T490 ship out.

Perhaps the old man in me still needs LAN port 🤓

T490 or T495/T495s is a good laptop for home/small office work

Hi, T495s vs X395 both are similar, even the laptop weight.
X395 based on X390 platform, wifi card, WWAN card is upgradable, if not wrong T495s are the same.
Battery wise T495s slightly bigger capacity than X395.
For mine X395 normal used, YouTube, Lowyat browsers, or excel words around 5-6 hours, maybe for T495s can last 6-7 hrs.
About the screen T495s has 400nits while the X395 only 300nits display available in customisation.
From the screen size, X395 = 13.3” vs T495s 14” can’t really tell the difference.
Wanna save some bucks go for X395 more value for money.

About the AMD processor, Ryzen 5 3500U really good than enough to do daily tasks.
No lagging, lesser heats, longer battery life, get Ryzen 5 can do more already.
For Ryzen 7 3700U would be slightly faster 🤔🤔

Oo so normal usage, you won't even notice the difference from ryzen 5 and 7..so i think I'll might go with the ryzen 5 only..extra RM 400 doesn't seem worth it for such a small performance boost ..haha

Some ppl say, T490s and T495s has better paint surface, such as X1 Carbon rubber painted coating.
I am not too sure, just highlighter , rubber painted coating is a bit sticky dusty on surface.

Intel slightly faster , but Intel do not push their sales targets.
AMD slightly slower , but can’t tell the speed for normal usage.
AMD has plenty of new Processor , they are new in laptops markets, that’s why u can have cheaper package from AMD models

Just normal black materic finished, can get scratches easily. But more durable than the rubber paint coating.
Can’t see now, website got bug for X395, usually will mention at check out page , I Guess is around 3 weeks 🤔🤔

2 weeks , mine, despite cancel order. Using current 35% anniversary price, so faster then the 1010 order dates , despite order later. But ya, they gave time frame 3 weeks which is correct.

Just receive E495 which order on 7th Oct
Everything after upgrade, price 50%

processor : Ryzen 7 3700U (upgrade from Ryzen 5 3500U)
RAM : 1 dimm 8G DDR4 (web customize from 1x4G to 1x8G, self add 1 more dimm of 16G DDR4)
HDD : none
NVME : Samsung PM981a 256G NVME
LCD : 14" FHD IPS (upgrade from TN 1366x768)
power adapter : 65w (free upgrade from 45w)
other spec still default as website

final price RM2349.50 vs RM3054.35 now

not include the sleeve bag (RM1) and mouse (RM1)


RAM upgraded by myself (add 16G DDR4)

next week will replace the wireless card to intel card AC9260

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 got the E595 instead.... w Ryzen7 also...

You should have match your RAM for the full dual channel mode...your 24GB system should be running flex mode if not single channel.... either total up to16GB or 32GB.
With 50% off the 8GB upgrade was RM100...and the 16GB upgrade was RM200....worth it in my opinion.

My system is currently at 32GB....@1866MHz speeds....currently searching for ways to force it to at least 2400MHz (if possible).

Also running w 1TB or Adata 8200pro....

Will upgrade to AX200 WiFi as you pointed out.

that time
4G ----> 8G, RM200 (mean RM100)
8G ----> 16G, RM400 (mean RM100 + RM200)

so i pick 1x8G first, then buy 16G outside and use first.....

my colleague book my 8G ram d....so wait after clear that 8G only get another 16G ram...

Try few time to customize the laptop, prices are not constant... So hard to decide when is the best time to buy....

Feel so heavy compare to my old mighty x230+9 cell...

But this is easy way to remove keyboard, just 2 tiny screw only right. Can easily lift up on front and palm rest.
Unlike the rest.

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


installation is easy. Plug and play.

wait windows detect the driver and install (driver include wifi and bluetooth), then connect wifi again, use Vantage to update the latest driver

so far so good.....although the realtek didn't get any problem for me

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)

1x1 mimo = 433mbps
2x2 mimo = 866mbps
3x3 mimo = 1299mbps

So, what mean by 17xxmbps from intel?

Today I wanna talks about my experience of used for Lenovo Yoga series and ThinkPads.

From my past experience had to owned a X1 Carbon 6th Gen, P1 Gen 2, X395 with T490 models.
Few of them are Lenovo ThinkPad flagship, for me I would prefer the overall design to performance.

ThinkPad looks great the overall feels such as a tank, bulky and thicker bezels.

For me I paid for them should hope they can serve me last longer or less bored.

Especially X1 series has improved a lots, comes with textures looks on display cover and used some rubber painted coated on X1 models.
When this is new would be greater, once comes to ages or few months ago, the ThinkPad bodies material wear and tear easily.
Due to our oily hands, dirt and fingerprints.

Actually ThinkPad should build like a tank, if you are plan for use in office works, at home probably prefer the Yoga series an over ThinkPad.

Cause ThinkPad are bulky and weight, if you plan to have X1 Carbon series or Extreme or P1 Gen 2, the cost are an expensive to own one.

For me I had tried few of them, nothing so surprised me, Thinkpad is for general purpose or heavy task, actually ThinkPad can do lot of things for you, such as Autodesk products and many engineering software they are running well.

Comes to ThinkBook are newbie in overall market, later I will show some photos for ThinkBook 13s.
ThinkBook 13s are great and valuable product from Lenovo, metal design, durable bodied with HDR display else, the downside was non support USB Type C charging, you need to buy Slim Tip converted as well.
Thinkbook 13s ram upgradable from 8gb to 32gb Max. And SSD up to 2TB, battery life are great can last more than 6 hours from full charged.
If you have no ideas about Lenovo laptops still can have a looks from ThinkPad , Thinkbook, Ideapad , Yoga and Legion.

Yoga S730 and C940 color body.

user posted image
To me Yoga design are cool 😎 than the rest , very premium looks and feels with touch.
Especially the bodies can be a pair of Apple macbook products, non sharp edge on corners or fan vent located at right hand side.

Yoga series used more USB Type C with thunderbolt 3 supported.
Can support many task or plug in with eGPU for your works.
Against the main display are comes temple glass to covers the whole panel and bezels less design.
Just highlighted Yoga or IdeaPad no support autodesk software such as Cad or Revit software, for others software like photo editing and sketchbook there’s support for you to drawn and design your presentation purposes.
Yoga battery are slightly last longer than ThinkPad, cause didn’t use as performance software.

For me Yoga S730 & C940 keyboard are nice for typing everything, the keyboard not as soft like Thinkbook 13s and not as hard like ThinkPad T490.

My conclusion Yoga design for life , ThinkPad design work heavy workloads, ideapad design for multimedia purposes.

If You guys are free can try the Yoga S730 for demo.

Thanks 🙏

Not too sure, Citibank suka suka Promotion’s
T490 must be select the MX250 graphics card baru shiok.

I have the T490 bought from Oct 2019 now seem like never used, wanna let go also difficult.
Due to Lenovo always discount of the year.

X395 can find my main page reviews
T495s not much user here, cause the Ram is onboard and selling higher price to compare X395.
T495 is another workhorse, can replace many midrange laptop, price is reasonable and ram upgradable.

I was hopefully to for a free slot.... however the RAM cover on the C740 is only 6 cm in length... while a typical SODIMM without the slot is 7cm...

C740's rams are running dual channel.

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).

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.. mega_shok.gif

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.

Same here, im also interested with the S740 but the only 8gb ram option is a downer. Other spec look good so far, 400nit display, tb 3 support and 62wh battery is a great value to me

Now even phone got 8gb ram but laptop doesn't while is soldered grumble.gif
Maybe the manufacturer want to force people to buy new laptop lo or because they think Malaysia market doesn't need 16gb but need windows pro dry.gif
My plan is use ssd as virtual memory when ram is not enough

Hi, would like to know is there any delay happen when order from Lenovo Website?

user posted image


I asked customer representative and he told me order just release on 5/12/2019 and still shows new working order. I was expected shipped within 3 weeks means that I can received before Christmas. I emphasized that I need it to ship within 3 weeks before I purchase because I will be out of country for few months after Christmas and the customer representative told me no delay will happen but I doubted that now. I am thinking should I cancel the order or not dry.gif

Actually, I can't imagine this is a desktop workstation, very thin and space-saving. 🤣🤣
The overall very compact, still can upgradable ram, Ssd, wifi card, CPU with GPU as well.

Hi, i just got my yoga C740 15". The build quality is premium.
My daily basic work with adobe + microsoft office , no lag issue, fan is extremely quiet compare to my old Ideapad. The 500 nits screen is too bright, basic usage 50% is good enough.

The downside is screen colour is slightly yellowish. Even my old ideapad 300 no such issue

Do anyone know where to get services to calibrate screen colour, without buying spyder5 ?

Hi guys,

I have seen that the T495 is a crowd favourite.

However given the choice of the E595 (RM2,551) v T495 (RM3015) v X395 (RM3,340) whats the verdict like?

Is the price difference worth getting the T495 over the E595 i.e. a better buy?

Appreciate the advise sifus!

C740:
Touch with Pen, 360 screen, comet-lake...Poor Integrated Graphics (IG), No TB3

S740:
Non-touch, 180 screen, ice-lake... Better IG, has TB3, option to have MX250 GPU...


c740 only has the Touch/Pen advantage.... with Malaysia's price...S740 is cheaper and better in almost everything else...

In before yes, once you went to Yoga series u might love yoga or ideapad more than ThinkPad.
Due to Thinkpad has exhaust fan vent located on your right hand side , when during heavy loaded, u might suffer on heat blows on your hand.
That’s what I concern for Long term usage.
ThinkPad design for office use only.
The best design for ThinkPad was P53, Extreme X1 or P1 Gen 2, air vent located at the back, there is not an issue for usage Long hours.

This is what I fact, if you wanna listen just go for these, if you prefer ThinkPad it’s your own choices

saw u mentioned that 4 weeks or more .. haha but website show is 6-8 weeks, wondering how come they can commit u faster is 4 weeks or more.


yes, they have stated 4-8 weeks, for more detail please msg their online customer services for clarify,
I was deal with the officer and he hundred percent commit me will delivery in 6 weeks.

but when i received the update of delivery, its show ten weeks.

con customer to buy and after payment done, they just wash hand and focus another new sale.
let the customer be stupid to make noise but keep on IGNORE your call, email.

no harm u can email them or call them and try.

i still not received any call from them since 7 april until today 14 of april.


the joke part is they will delivery the bag and mouse to u first, received it within 1 weeks , and u gonna wait another 9 weeks to get ur laptop.
i wondering if i cancel my booking, can i get full refund included my mouse n bag[i will return to them]


i purchase the model lenovo s740 SLIM MODEL. after i made the complain, this model not longer for sell in the page but still there at their official page.

https://www.lenovo.com/my/en/laptops/yoga/y...5/p/88YGS701396



Think twice before you purchase , and share your experience how long to get your laptop.

Today I wanna talks about my experience of used for Lenovo Yoga series and ThinkPads.

From my past experience had to owned a X1 Carbon 6th Gen, P1 Gen 2, X395 with T490 models.
Few of them are Lenovo ThinkPad flagship, for me I would prefer the overall design to performance.

ThinkPad looks great the overall feels such as a tank, bulky and thicker bezels.

For me I paid for them should hope they can serve me last longer or less bored.

Especially X1 series has improved a lots, comes with textures looks on display cover and used some rubber painted coated on X1 models.
When this is new would be greater, once comes to ages or few months ago, the ThinkPad bodies material wear and tear easily.
Due to our oily hands, dirt and fingerprints.

Actually ThinkPad should build like a tank, if you are plan for use in office works, at home probably prefer the Yoga series an over ThinkPad.

Cause ThinkPad are bulky and weight, if you plan to have X1 Carbon series or Extreme or P1 Gen 2, the cost are an expensive to own one.

For me I had tried few of them, nothing so surprised me, Thinkpad is for general purpose or heavy task, actually ThinkPad can do lot of things for you, such as Autodesk products and many engineering software they are running well.

Comes to ThinkBook are newbie in overall market, later I will show some photos for ThinkBook 13s.
ThinkBook 13s are great and valuable product from Lenovo, metal design, durable bodied with HDR display else, the downside was non support USB Type C charging, you need to buy Slim Tip converted as well.
Thinkbook 13s ram upgradable from 8gb to 32gb Max. And SSD up to 2TB, battery life are great can last more than 6 hours from full charged.
If you have no ideas about Lenovo laptops still can have a looks from ThinkPad , Thinkbook, Ideapad , Yoga and Legion.

C940 very smooth like a X1 carbon or p1 Gen 2.
Due to glass surface, just the c940 don’t have enter and right click button on trackpad.

Hi all. I own Thinkpad T450 since 2016 and it still work great. Just thinking about upgrading the display panel to FHD IPS panel (current is TN 1600x900), ive read some forums it is possible given u change to correct model.

My question is, is there any recommended or reputable upgrade center in KL?

I may go have a look after MCO. Thanks.

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

Hello, I am looking for reviews regarding ThinkBook's keyboard vs ThinkPad E595's keyboard.
I remember Benefon said ThinkBook keyboard is soft, ThinkPad keyboard is hard, and Yoga is just nice. I like the keyboard on DELL Latitude, but now it's MCO and I can't go to the shops to test Lenovo keyboard one by one. Anyone willing to share the experience?

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.

Yes, 2 weeks for shipping is normal as most stocks are from China (as I know for customised units, assume it's the same for ready stock item).
However, most buyers who ordered customised models usually waited longer than stated time. Customs should not be a problem but expect delay from custom due to clearance. No worry as the Lenovo team will solve it anyway (within 3-5 days).
U can check out some posts earlier where they mentioned about delayed arrival.
So I would say 2-4 weeks time is normal.

I went to Lenovo shop.
They mentioned that X395 AMD version laptop can be only obtained via online and not from physical shop. Is it true?

I need to buy for company, hence i need proper quotation and pricing. Anyone know how i can go about if the option is only online purchasing?

You're welcome!
I expect ryzen 4000 would be better.
But for not a too heavy task user like me, my ryzen 3500U is more than enough
Maybe more valuable feedback from other experts / heavy tasks users could help u out more!

It wouldn't be a wrong choice biggrin.gif
Btw, here's my specs for your reference
AMD Ryzen 5 Pro 3500U
W10 Home
FHD 300 nits Multi Touch panel
16gb soldered Ram
256gb M2.Nvme PCIe SSD
65W charger

RM3,056.20, purchased on 12 August 2019.
Current price might be higher so it's just for your reference

Just get a fingerprint sensor,way more convenient. During my purchase the fingerprint sensor option wasn't available for 300 nits display mad.gif mad.gif bangwall.gif bangwall.gif
