How long did you wait for your C340?
I'm seeing delivery more than 4 weeks for the lowest range of C340.
I received it within 2 weeks.

Comes with sk hynix pcie ssd .
I open up the laptop and added an cruical mx500 500gb (cost $94 on carousell). Using it for dual boot, ubuntu on the sata3 ssd and windows on the pcie m2 slot
Total cost if shopback approve is
$961*0.93 + $94 = $987.73
Ryzen 3500u
fhd screen
16gb ram
500gb pcie ssd
500gb sata 3 ssd
3 years onsite warranty.
I guess it's acceptable for the price i paid vs the battery life.
This is thinkpad we are talking, not Ideapad, not acer. Even though it's the lower end series, it's still a thinkpad
value for money sia.
yea its a thinkpad. quality is considerably better than other brands.
yup. don't know why there are people here comparing ideapad series or acer low end mod.
What's the difference between E485 and E495 other than the processor?
Is the battery life better on the newer version?
I recalled E485 was only about $600 or so but it's now 800-900
@orlengtao surprised that you are not getting better battery life like the e595 (as per Hive)
Can you run the following command for battery life estimate. (there will be a html report generated & then just look for the batt estimate heading)
1) Run CMD as admin
2) powercfg /batteryreport
Perhaps @Hive and @batniss (swift 3) can run the above command & share their results as well. If e485 and e585 owners also share their results, then easier to compare.

should I get the e495 or a485? mostly using it for videos, excel (~3-5mb with macros) surfing net with 10-15tabs and occasional light gaming.

e495 seems to have solved the thermal throttling issue, but battery life is weak, generally less well built than A series
a485's thermal throttling issue seems to be quite serious even though it's supposedly better built? only Ryzen 3 Pro or Ryzen 7 Pro is available for selection. Which is better, given the thermal throttling issue? battery life should be much better with the additional 72wh battery.
Going to get another 8gb stick for either choice.
Would love to especially hear from users of the A485 Thinkpad!
Incase you need more reasons to get the e495
https://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-s...e-i5-8265U-in-the-ThinkPad-E490.423829.0.html
3500U is definately the better option imo. better sustain load then 7.

Been camping here a while.
Hope to see the battery life for E595
