menyesal bought y mx1 6th 8250u in february after looking at the prices for x395

oh well, at least I didn't spend 8k for it when they first launched

Sorry, stupid gemok fingers, typed that while on the throne on the phone. I meant "X1 Carbon 6th" with 8250U intel processor. The carbon X1 always sells at RM8k or so before being discounted. I got one for RM5k when they were about to phase it out to make way for the 7th gen

Looking back, the X395 is a better purchase


When it arrived


Next to X1 Carbon 1st. Gave it to my sister for her college use

I know, X1 is nice. but not much nicer lah. As long as they are thinkpads, they are somewhat on the same level. I dont trash my laptops too, so even if i take the x395 I would be able to keep it in good working order anyway

Thats like 2k difference

I use Tigernu je

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.

those are old hardware right? what about recent ones? What's the lowest-end Thinkpads nowadays anyway?

Hurm.. sounds good. 2 years ago I had gen1 at 1.4k too.

Make sure the screen resolution is at least 1600 x 900. I can't do 1368 x 768 anymore. Too small

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.

I was never in the market for the 3rd gen. I recommend you post this question quickly on Reddit /r/thinkpad, they may know a few things. The earlier you post, the faster you will get the response.

They are more geeky than us here

TN panel is fine on the budget, my 1st gen was on TN too, and my complainy was on the resolution (lame-sass 1368 x 768 haha), not on the panel

As for new laptop, the RM1,400 will not get you far. Are you a student? What are you studying?

As for slowness, you can always add an SSD. My 1st gen X1 had i5 2xxx series U. It was fast enough for me.

The body makes the laptop bro, plus the hinges - can't be using a broken laptop now can we?

Also, thermal issues and self-maintenance, THinkpad considers all these things. If the laptop is slow, open it up and clean the vents, reapply thermal paste. Easiest to be done on Thinkpads. But it is not for everyone, of which case you may consider getting an RM1400 laptop with much slower processer than a 3rd gen X1.

Also that sleek body

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)

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

Is this a masturbation joke?

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?

You Lenovo/Thinkpad salesman?

you are just making me feel bad now man whahahaha

yeah, but RM2.5k man.

thats like half my X1C6th. and somewhat better specs too

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

AMD really changed things with they Ryzen

Your guy deals with batteries? Can share his contact? Need X1 Carbon 1st gen battery replacement

Guys, the 13s lenovo that was on sale for RM1010, what was the specs?

At RM1010 that was a steal nonetheless. How did the sale come to be? How many units were sold and how many minutes left for sales? Oh well.
