Jut received my T590 last week. so disappointed with the poor performance. suffered the terrible thermal throttling can extremely inconsistently cut off the speed to lowest frequency. The model i got is i78565u +MX 250 nvidia vga.

Once boot up the temperature will increase immediately to 57c. The thermal throttling will kick in at 56c temperature. the fan keeps spinning at max speed to bring down merely 1c to 56c and the system will try to keep CPU and GPU temperature to be sustained at 56c. However by doing that , the stock bios ver 1.55 would bring down cpu to 1ghz (peak 4ghz) and GPU down to  400mhz (max 1700Mhz).

Called up to onsite service and Lenovo technician came to replace fan and heat sink, however all remain the same and no improvement at all!

The most frustrating fact is the throttling is co inconsistent and causing most application running smooth for short while and later come with plenty intervals of slowing down.

This is happening to T490, P43s , T590 and P53s which were all design with identical platform..

Don buy any of these product untill lenovo fully fixed it.( bealived they have no solution too.

Check out r/thinkpad, maybe they can help you out and give you suggestion like how to undervolt your laptop for better cooling.

furthermore in a small and thin laptop housing, thermal throttling might will become an issue.

sure manufacturers could put huge fans blower, can even put dual & triple fans, multiple heatpipe config but still won't be able to solve the issue.
there's just not enough space for efficient cooling.

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

naysayers will come in say they dont buy PC for benchmarking.
but this is pcmark. it tests the speed of normal daily computing.
if a PC gets bogged down by opening spreadsheet and word processing and web browsing, well something is amiss.. mega_shok.gif

Btw, PCMark 10 and 8 is on discount at the Steam store now.

Was this something new? I didn’t get any free Microsoft office with my purchase. Did you get it with your thinkbook 13s too?

This is what I have been talking since many weeks back. If u like a laptop, just get it now. Dun wait for 11.11, 12.12, Black Friday, CITI45 or whatever promo. Price won’t different much. Also stop hoping for 1k laptop. U dun see lightning strike twice on same spot frequently.

Once in a while there are some really good honest deals like full specs X395 for only ~RM2500 (Ryzen 7 Pro + 16GB RAM + 512GB SSD). If you know what you are looking for you can pounce on the deals, just need to be patient.

I'm contemplating to buy Lenovo ideapad s540, now have voucher code can save rm400 to rm500.

Only problem is, I was thinking to get Intel core i5 8265U with discreet Nvidia MX250 2GB before discount RM3449, after discount RM2933
Or should I save on the money and get

AMD Ryzen 7 3700U with integrated Radeon Vega 10 before discount RM3099, after discount RM2635?

I will use the laptop for minor video editing and light gaming
*
If just use for office, productivity and web browsing, both are similar with similar pcmark scores.

if you also want for creative and gaming use, the intel variant is better with 25% better scores in 3dmark for gpu.

Does i5-8265u with mx250 has Optimus graphic switching between integrated and discreet GPU? For eg when normal browsing only = use integrated intel GPU, then when using video editing = use mx250 ?
*
Seems like it does:

QUOTE
As we have mentioned earlier, the S540-14IWL features a dedicated GPU, whereas the S540-14API relies on an integrated GPU instead. The former can also switch between its UHD Graphics 620 and GeForce MX250 thanks to NVIDIA Optimus to minimise power consumption during general and undemanding tasks. The process happens in the background and should have no impact on the day-to-day use of the machine.

Btw, when you upgrade that time, can let us know if the RAM gets hot? I notice this with my T495. When use the remaxel RAM, no heat generated, but when use the 16GB RAM from Samsung, can feel like a bit hotter than usual.

Too many adapters won't that be dangerous anyway I think I need look at either replace the charger or all those adapters I buy are crap. They look the same design as ones sold in taobao since my Shopee seller is frm China.

Same, i prefer if don't have to go the adapter/dongle route and get a cable that is one straight link to the charger or powerbank.

Next test, you should try with powerbank that can output 45W. Then you have true portability with your laptop, never need worry about power socket.

Damn it charging my thinkbook battery percentage goes down. And I now noticed its having same issue as old converter. Does this laptop support 45w charging? Or is my Aukey PA-Y13 is faulty I need return it?

So far all 3 convertors having same issue

I am using the 45W lenovo charger with thinkbook 13s, it does charge but very slowly, takes about 2 hours - 2 hours 30 mins, compared to the 65W which seems faster like 1 hour to 1 hour 30 mins.

So yes 45W does work, i suspect your dongle/adapter actually outputs less charge maybe (not truly 45W).

3 dongle already don't think its cable since 1of them came with cable. I don't think it's all due to dongle since I tested 3 different dongle though cheap ones. I really think it's the aukey charger but it's pd slot works as QC so I don't think I can sent for rma since it still output just maybe not 77w or even 45w.

Could be that too, but just want to highlight this, saw this picture when research adapters for magsafe and was wondering if the same concept applies to type-c to slim tip adapters (maybe you are experiencing that 45W downgrades to 30W with the adapters you bought):

No more sikit sikit lag. Earlier browsing can feel sikit sikit lag.

Sifu last is powerbank. What you recommend is good and worth money? Want spend my rm50 voucher lazada

I ordered the tip shown in the previous page

After upgrade is more lag? Maybe the original RAM that came with the T13s is better quality than the Samsung RAM.
