Basically depends on what you use your computer for

I use my personal laptop for torrent (qBittorrent), Spotify, watching movie (VLC), light gaming (Football Manager 2020 via Steam), browsing (Firefox) and RDP to my office laptop (Remmina)

I have my office laptop with Windows for work related task

make sense too. But i still feel safer to have official warranty. 3 years no worry and after that start worry. 2nd hand you worry on the day you get the notebook

Bro, run the keyboard tests when you COD ya. You may or may not like it. Thinkpad changed their keyboards a few times across the generations, and some models are released with two different keyboard manufacturers, one of which is better than the other. I don't know, because I was/am not in the market for 3rd gen

All of my X and T series lasted until I had to let them go. Never regretted buying them. Especially since the X240 and X1C1st, when they started shipping them with SSDs, I didn't have to do anything, just reformatted them to my own liking using MSDN keys (I am on Bizsparks program)
Bro, I was on the USED: X220 (gave to elder bro), X220 (gave to 1st staff), X240 (gave to 2nd staff), T420 (sold it off for RM800 2 years ago?),  T430 (gave to younger bro), X1C1st (gave to sis), with some of these people repeatedly getting laptops from me, before I made enough dough and can now afford my NEW X1C6th.

Even then I menyesal because I wish I had bought a new X395 (unreleased at the time) instead hahaha.

Best of luck, in due time you will make it out and get something newer. For now, even someone like me who runs around meeting clients were on used Thinkpads until recently. The current X1C6th can probably last me 3 years before I find an "excuse" to give it to my beloved ones so I can get a newer laptop (hopefully with touch since I may need it)

wow... ur thinkpads history is goood .... ur the real deal man... im sure the X1C6th can tahan more than 3 years la bro ... no doubt on that... bt y u prefer the x395 now over the current ?... the X1C6th not good enough meh ?....

I am just... quite efficient with my spending. The X395 is big enough for me (13.3" if im not mistaken), with the same specs as the X1C6th, it was selling for RM3.2K. So cheap, I got mine for RM5.2k or so. That's RM2k savings for essentially the same laptop

I can do so much with RM2k like... whatever deals are on Lazada now.

Dammit man, I am so dirty-minded

But you are right, it was heavy. I loved that keyboard though. BLOODY HELL loved it. It is so much better than my X1C6th and its bretheren. Even X240 is better than X1C6th's. Damn.

I wish I could have afforded the T25 - but it was based on the T470 and thus Intel 7th gen bug-ridden chips. So its OK.

but if I had taken the X395, it would have the same 3-year warranty afforded to them too right? And I would probably take the accidental coverage that was afforded to my X1C6th for about RM200-300?

Actually you bought the X1 carbon early of the year right?

People like Benefon only open thread about these great deals around July I think. So it was really a matter of timing and luck actually. Nobody can predict the future.

If me I wouldn’t take it as wasted or even look back at it. I will aim for a great deal on the X395 in near future. Saw someone manage to get it for only rm2500 once.

I believe his specs was around this: Ryzen 5 Pro, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, WWAN, 300 nits display and all that other good stuff 3 year warranty/ accidental coverage etc.

Haha I’ll try find back the specs, was quite impressive and to be honest I also sometimes wonder if I should have gone with the X395 instead of the T495.

You see one is never satisfied with what one has. Haih.

Regardless, when I got mine in April, it was a good spec-price ratio too

AMD really changed things with they Ryzen

AMD still got issues, you will notice it a lot when using chrome. Like lagging, or YouTube video sound is playing but the video is static, but all this is slowly improving and for the price you can’t really complain. To make it simple, for the price, since it’s almost rm1000 cheaper than its intel counterpart - I’d go with AMD but if intel was same price, I’d go with intel any day.

Here is the specs for that X395:

no WWAN, no multitouch, Ryzen 3500u

Around nov 1, shopback 10% + 14% cashback promo.

With Firefox seems okay. Just chrome like not optimized for AMD Ryzen yet. Chrome is my go to mainly for the extensions and add-ons.

Another example of issue I face is like you know on lazada, if you hover your mouse cursor on a pic, it should give you a zoom preview of that pic? Doesn’t work with chrome and Ryzen, but works perfectly on my intel systems.

But these are seriously minor issues that should not deter one from buying AMD Ryzen systems.
