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)

QUOTE(BeastX @ Oct 19 2019, 06:37 AM) 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. Running 8G + 16G now with dual channel show in CPUZ. Will upgrade to 16+16 after my colleague pc is coming (default 4G only) Default 4G ram, upgrade to 16G ram (1slot) cost RM600 in system |

QUOTE(BeastX @ Oct 19 2019, 09:17 AM) I assume one could even push it to 64Gb... but speed/timings may drop even further.... Other country like Taiwan's Lenovo Site, there state max 64G RAM |

QUOTE(BeastX @ Oct 19 2019, 09:14 AM) For E595 during the 50% off...4Gb to 16GB stick only cost RM200.... 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... |

QUOTE(Benefon @ Oct 20 2019, 10:57 AM) 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. 【Thinkpad联想E480 L480 R480 L380 T480S T490 E580 E585键盘X280】 https://m.tb.cn/h.epzSZCR?sm=0b66b5 嚸↑↓擊鏈バ接，再选择瀏覽嘂..咑閞ヽ；或椱ァ製这句话¢Q3FcYqieGrk¢后咑閞👉綯℡寳👈 Yes, quite straight forward to replace the keyboard |

QUOTE(Benefon @ Oct 21 2019, 03:28 PM) Not much different actually lol Can review after install? To compare with the original wifi card. If you don’t mind can post the photo for old card. Thanks 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 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 This post has been edited by splua333: Oct 21 2019, 04:25 PM |

 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) |

QUOTE(Benefon @ Oct 21 2019, 08:45 PM) 2.5G or 5G connection now? The driver windows is included or go Intel website and download? 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 |
