is there any overheating issues with these processors?
planning to get ryzen 5 pro 3500U for coding in Visual Studio .NET and MSSQL

Many generations have passed, Athlon Era like Athlon XP tend to overheat.
Ryzen is a completely new CPU, DIY space it is selling very well.
Need not worry about overheat but Intel will be a different story.

Just pulled the trigger on T495. Around $1150 if shopback is successful.
The sales were really really tight, they won't budge on adding extra % or freebies. It's going to be my first Thinkpad

Depend on your budget, best onboard + added ram for dual channel.
That means 8 X 2 or you can get onboard 8GB than buy from outside additional RAM.

actually with the 39% off, think cheaper to get from lenovo, no?

Already ordered bro.. haha..

Anyway i like my screens dark..

Suggest you to cancel the order and get the Full HD IPS panel instead.
Or ask CSO whether can change the order or not.
TN screen not only dark but the LCD panel picture quality is worse
than IPS panel.

It's up to your preference anyway.

From your customised.
X395 is lighter and better battery life also 300nits display.

T495 battery life around 7 hours full charged and slightly heavy weight.
Screen wise 250nits not as good as X395.

Thank you so much obichacha! Okay, I think I will go ahead with the X395 since I'll be carrying it out a lot and battery life matters quite a bit more to me. Thank you for taking your time to give the spec sheet! Very helpful.

Hi all,

Just placed my order for T495, this would be my 1st Lenovo Thinkpad.
Hope it does not disappoint.

Thnks to obichacha suggestion to choose the 400 nits option, so can have options to adjust the brightness.

Over the weekend, I went to comex to see the difference between 250, 300 , 400 nits.
I used the T490 (300 nits) and E490 (250nits) display unit as a reference, I found the 250 nits too dim. Since Lenovo today, have a decent discount, decided to take the 400 nits option.
Most impt it was still within my budget.

tried to ask for $1 3Y Onsite and got rejected lol.
Oh well.

Even before I wanted put in request for $0.10 and $1 for 3yr onsite warranty.
The CS immediately told me $72.50 is best price already.

I believe alot ppl were requesting for it as well.

The CS sounded very pissed off when I was persistently pestering her to consider my request.

Great specs, hope after you will enjoy the laptop, cause fully customised by your own.
Actually Lenovo very smart, the display from 250, 300 nite they product as 45% of color gamut, only 400nits come with 75% of true color.
Cause we spend more time to looks from the display right, should go for the most comfortable one. 🤭
