If ThinkPad which model do you prefer?

The t series? Maybe t480 or the l380?

 

[obichacha]

L380 v T480
Specs wise T480 is higher than L380.
It's depend on your configured.

Maybe can option for T480s
Slightly lighter just the price is an expensive.

For all Thinkpad keyboard are nicer than others brand.

The price is abit pricey tho could have gotten a macbook pro or even a dell xps.
Are they still realible? Cause my friend told me to stay away from lenovo

 

[obichacha]

MacBook Pro 13 not bad, can bootcamp to windows as well.
XPS so so only.

But price wise the lenovo is a much better deal right? 3 years warranty 8th gen processor and more

 

[obichacha]

I sold my MBP 13 touch bar , bought on cny this year, probably upgrade to ThinkPad X1 Carbon 6th gen.
I really fall in love with Thinkpad quality of build and keyboard.
Just maybe X1 Carbon is lighter

Processor wise 7th gen and 8th gen doesn't feel so much different.

Why did you sold your macbook tho?

 

[obichacha]

Getting boring already.

Should change something on windows with lighter weight design.

[obichacha]

Acer swift 7 or swift 5 can search from Lazada
Dell latitude 7370 or 7280 also from Lazada
Or hp envy 13 only.

Thank you for the clarification. So the only issue will be shipping where I will need to use a forwarder like comgateway to ship it back to sg?

 

[obichacha]

Or boderlinx but the charges and import tax may higher.
Most likely is around $200 ship from us to Sg.
