In short, not worth it... In long, that exact model is the reason this thread existing till today, RM1010 10.10 sales, LOLOL...

Basically if you’re not aware, Lenovo like to jack up price on their website then claiming giving big discount.

You need to be clear about what you looking for and how much it is worth to find rare gems like Thinkpad T495, X395 and so that’s on real discount and worth the money/hassle to order from them online.

thanks for input.

those thinkpads are AMD? for me i mainly needed a good laptop to run high resource apps for programming. prefer high ram, and heard i7 8th-gen have good review.
else if you any recommendation, please feel free to share, budget just below 4k

For Lenovo, models ending with 5 are generally AMD.

Lenovo Thinkpad T-series has always been their bread and butter business/corporate laptops. You can’t go wrong with them (but do configure the RAM/screen properly as some options are an insult to the buyers, with terrible performance or value).

Just pick the one within your budget will do. The mainstream one are on gen-10 i-core now, while AMD’s line is still based on their 3-series mobile APU, not exactly worth to buy now as a much superior successor is scheduled to be released anytime from now.

Another thing to note here, as laptops are getting real slim nowadays, most of the time they’re configured for low work loads instead. The performance will throttle down to the system’s cooling ability, which most of the time isn’t much good, unless you’re talking about gaming laptops. So if your works really require heavy loads like desktop, better consider gaming laptops instead.

thanks for the inputs. will have a look at that category as well smile.gif
