Now also more competition in the market.

Honor reveals MagicBook laptops powered by AMD Ryzen

the exterior casing of my old laptop (bought 2013) pecak dah, search aliexpress tiada.

Then use what?
Install Google chrome?

I have seen resellers sell Lenovo laptops without windows - comes with FreeDOS or other linus iterations

but I have never seen new Thinkpads being sold by unofficial lenovo shops or online, and these always come with Windows.

got, but very low end models.
Used to be you can get E145/E135 AMD Brazos models that cost around RM1.5k with windows.
without windwos cost like Rm1k only....but those things will be damn slow in today's usage

bros, wnna know... gettin thinkpad x1 carbon gen 3 at 1.4k... worth ?

I disagree (but just my opinion). Thinkpad laptops last long, with only the battery that may need replacing if you want longer hours

Other than that, plenty of people on /r/thinkpads are rocking older laptops including the X220, X230, T4xx series, etc.

I was on the used X1 Carbon 1st gen for a few years, before I made enough money to buy a new X1 Carbon 6th gen. The 1st gen helped me make so much money, I gave it to my sister because it is a good, sleek-looking laptop. Love her, love the laptop.

Got any app to support linux?

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

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 to be specs for that X395:

no WWAN, no multitouch, Ryzen 3500u

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.

Thanks for the advise. Will opt for original batteries.
Did a search on garage sales but all are selling laptops instead of batteries.

Any shops recommended?
