So just got my E490 a few days ago, overall love it but sadly gonna have Lenovo send hopefully a 1 to 1 replacement due to GPU issues, the AMD RX 550X keeps crashing even when I did a full re-installation of Windows and drivers, concluded its a faulty GPU on the mobo... kinda sucks..

How much did it cost you?

Cos I just saw on Lenovo.sg website selling new X series for 1.2kSGD with AMD Ryzen 3 processor.

This is a good price, imho.

That's right need to customize some of the stuff.
IPS FHD 300 nit,
Ryzen 5 processor
512Gb SDD.

Will be comparing this X395 with the T series equivalent.

And see if it is worth it. Considering getting it for its keyboard and other qualities... for under 1.5kSGD.

Would u recommend otherwise?

The X395 build quality and the keyboard key-travel feeling same as X1 Carbon, very lightweight, battery life can last more than 10 hours, by the reviewer.
This is great machine, if you can selected as below your preferred.
Very good specs and these price, can try to look at T495s for your info.

You will feel fast as AMD notebook has a very good GPU but not the main processor. Google to find out comparison between the 2.

Hello. Looking for X1E2 and looks like Lenovo MY is having their merdeka discount ending tomorrow. It’s quite a huge discount compared to Singapore pricing.
Is it a good idea to buy and get from there? I am looking to add in the 3Y NBD warranty.
Will the warranty be covered in Singapore?

Do they accept singapore debit cards for payment? There’s a pretty good offer for the X1E2, 35% off

Hi What is your purpose to use for this laptop?

P53s single ram module and U-mobile CPU.
P1 gen 2 come with Quadro T1000/2000 GPU and 2 ram modules.
X1 Extreme G2 graphics under GTX GPU.

If better can longer run would be the P1 Gen 2 while the X1 Extreme Gen 2 (GTX1060) GPU is so outdated.

Any comments on P53s? I’m deciding between P53s and X1 Extreme P2. Appreciate your input!

In the past the X series, T series laptops come with "Thinklight" so that u can still work at night without light.

But sadly, I bought the X1 Carbon, considered quite high end, but it does not come with Thinklight anymore.... :(

Any1 knows any laptop model that comes with Thinklight?
