[reaven]

Thanks for the clarifications! made my purchase on E585 since i will be using it at home most of the time and its cheaper too. Opt for

AMD Ryzen 5
16GB(8+8) DDR4 2400MHz
256GB Solid State Drive
65W AC Adapter (3pin)
and 3 of the 1 cent promo items.

Total: SG$787.03

Was thinking of future upgrades for the WiFi module and the HDD slot, saw this youtube video on the tear down and i realize that there is a HDD bracket and ribbon cable to be connected to the mobo, if we didn opt for any HDD i dont think they will give us any bracket and ribbon cables right? anybody bought the laptop and did some upgrade them self?

$1.6-$1.9k is already Latitude 5000/Probook/Thinkpad L tier. Overpriced unless you really like the aesthetics and keyboard layout on the Envy.

I see that there is an option to add in the 45w or 65w power cord. Then over at the accessories page, there is an option to add in the 45w or 65w charger.
If I don't select any charger, does that mean I will not receive any charger at all?
Thanks

Looking forward, mine scheduled to ship end of the month.

I doubt so, the accessories page gives you additional accessories such as additional power brick and more, you will still receive the power brick that comes with the laptop you ordered.

I am keen to know about this too. I believe there are current users already with the laptop. Can help to a check? Thanks

How you get $250 discount? I thought only $200 using AMD18?

 

[86technie]

Thanks. Why is 2x8GB ram better than 1x 16GB ram?

One more question. I know this is using AMD and xiaomi laptop using intel. But how are they compared when the xiaomi one is about $1k but of coz with the crappy Chinese windows.

This is a Thinkpad so the quality will be far better than the Xiaomi.
Not to mention it is intended for business use so it is made to last.
2 X 8GB will enable dual channel than 1 X 16 GB which will
improve the performance slightly.

Thanks. Oh, should I have 256GB SSD + 1TB HDD or should I just have 512GB SSD? They will install windows in then SSD right?

With an EDU account, can get $250 anytime.

I believe with SGNIGHT too can get the same discount value.
