        E495 is a 14" model. E595 is 15" with a numpad on the keyboard.

        Otherwise I believe they're the same.

    How does this compare against the Dell Vostro 3000 deal from a few days ago? Guessing the processor and screen are better on the Dell looking at the specs…

    I ordered one of these on the deal a few weeks ago. With an extra 8gb RAM and a 512gb NVMe, this is an excellent laptop for around $1,000.

      $255 more for $60 extra RAM and a $100 SSD ($40 upgrade on the existing) is pretty poor value though.

  • donotuse on 27/11/2019 - 22:34

    What's the comparable Intel processor for AMD Ryzen 5 3500U?

    • Frontear on 27/11/2019 - 22:37

      As BuLaxy said up a little bit, its similar to i5-8250u

      • bunnybash on 27/11/2019 - 22:45
        +4

        The hard thing to measure is that the CPU side of things are comparable, but the graphics prowess of the AMD chips just blows the Intel chips away. So the CPU side of things it's similar to the 8250u, but the iGPU it's not even close, intel hasn't got anything that compares. As I stated before, AMD have made up a stupid amount of ground so fast in the CPU side of things, it's very very impressive.

        • JuiceT on 27/11/2019 - 23:57

          "Intel hasn't got anything that compares" I guess you missed the 10th gen launch then.

    • Viper8 on 27/11/2019 - 22:41

      Slightly slower than an 8550U, but much better integrated graphics.

    Wondering if the extra $200 to upgrade it to AMD Ryzen 7 is worth it..

    • zrmx on 28/11/2019 - 08:24

      No it isn't, due to thermal limitations the R7 and R5 performs very similarly.

    • Typical16-bitEnjoyer on 28/11/2019 - 08:52

      Nope. Definitely not worth it. The 3500u is a great chip.

  • IronOrchard on 27/11/2019 - 23:13

    • ozhunter68 on 27/11/2019 - 23:29

  • logisync on 27/11/2019 - 23:18

    Would this be a decent laptop for a child needing one for beginning highschool next year? School state Intel but everything else seems fine.

    • ozhunter68 on 27/11/2019 - 23:30

      Most likely too heavy and bulky. Look for smaller and lighter.

      • Borkbork on 28/11/2019 - 09:31
        +3

        Bought one for my kid starting next year. She's just going to have to toughen up and carry the extra 300g :). School recommendation was also Intel CPU/wifi, wifi I can swap if necessary but I doubt it will be a problem. Compared to the junk they're peddling at the recommended supplier (7th gen i3s/i5s with 4GB soldered RAM) this thing is a tiny god. Got an extra 8GB from MSY to go in it to get the second channel going so it should see out 5 years of high school, maybe with a new battery in the middle.

        • ozhunter68 on 28/11/2019 - 09:45
          +1

          Agree that 2.1Kg is not heavy for a 15.6" size screen laptop and having that nice big screen and a full set of ports certainly has it's benefits. I also prefer using my 15.6" laptop most of the time over my smaller lighter models most of the time, taking it with me in a bag but mainly only to my car and not walking too far with it.

          When I got a Asus 15'6" four years ago that was 2Kg I was really happy as my older models were 2.5Kg and more, so this then felt really light to use and move around.

          Some people are stronger or tougher than others, and people have varying budgets so keep that in mind. What works for you and your daughter might not be preferable for others.

    • hymio on 27/11/2019 - 23:34

      I own this and I think it would be a bit heavy to take to and from school unfortunately.

    • JuiceT on 27/11/2019 - 23:58
      +3

      Yeah as the other comments say, go for something at least 1.4kg or lower and around 13-14 inches big.

    • Sven Nijs on 28/11/2019 - 06:29

      In the same situation and waiting for E4** 14" screen deals to appear. Just trying to decide whether to go with the Intel or maybe AMD option as our school didn't specify…..

    • zrmx on 28/11/2019 - 08:27
      +1

      Unless if the school is planning on some remote access or intel vPro usage scenarios, AMD should be fine. Did the school state a reason why?

    Bought this in a TA deal about a month ago. Got it for personal use, not a computer person at all, and I've found it's great to use. Haven't had any issues at all with Wifi other than the slow speeds by my ISP. The bezel at the bottom is honestly not noticeable at all when using it. I like the size and numpad of the 595 and it doesn't feel "too big" as a laptop - worth the upgrade over 495 for screen real estate for me, as I don't need to move it around too much. This is my first Thinkpad and I like the convenience of the trackpoint when I'm typing, even though I have a mouse and the trackpad also works fine. The red light on the Thinkpad logo behind the screen is also a nice touch! Sometimes I do feel like the screen could be brighter when I'm watching a show but it might be the show itself as I don't always have this issue - I do tend to keep my screens on full brightness so that might be why.

    • BargainTeebone on 28/11/2019 - 09:28
      +1

      The only thing I am disappointed with my e495 is the screen brightness. Basically I need it at ~maximum to work comfortably, which isn't good for battery life.

      This is after coming from a horrifically bad TN panel on a t430, which I now find the brightness of to be more practical.

    • DardyMate on 28/11/2019 - 18:01

      Got the laptop on the previous TA deal too. I think the screen can go more brighter, but hey, for a laptop at that price it's quite fair (I guess?). Just got it about 1 hr ago. Noticed about drop outs on Wi-Fi too. I think from memory, other owners got it replaced?

  • shoelover on 27/11/2019 - 23:53

    I got the e495 on a previous deal. I did a test via HDMI on a work monitor, and was surprised to get 4k@60htz (maybe it was 59hz). It's not supposed to be possible as far as my research goes for this laptop, hdmi 1.4, etc. I didn't test it for long, only a few minutes, but it seemed stable. Weird huh? Anyone using e495 or e595 to drive a 4k@60htz external monitor over hdmi daily?

    • vid_ghost on 28/11/2019 - 11:48

      HDMI 2.0 supports 4k 60Hz from around 3 years ago with the first AMD RX460 series and up along with NVIDIA GT1030 series and up

    • Viper8 on 28/11/2019 - 12:39

      No lol, not even close. Whilst the integrated graphics in this is better than anything Intel offers, it's still a long way off from achieving what you want. The minimum for Avg. 60FPS on "high" is a 1660.

I cannot believe I bought laptop from cheater.

    What's the difference between the two types of SSD available in the customisation?

    - M.2 2242 PCIe NVMe

    • ShipShapeRC on 29/11/2019 - 11:41

      Triple-level cell
      A Triple Level Cell (TLC) is a type of NAND flash memory that stores three bits of information per cell. Toshiba introduced memory with triple-level cells in 2009.[19]

      Samsung announced a type of NAND flash that stores three bits of information per cell, with eight total voltage states, coining the term "Triple Level Cell" ("TLC"). Samsung Electronics began mass-producing it in 2010,[20] and it was first seen in Samsung's 840 Series SSDs.[21] Samsung refers to this technology as 3-bit MLC. The negative aspects of MLC are amplified with TLC, but TLC benefits from still higher storage density and lower cost.[22]

      In 2013, Samsung introduced V-NAND (Vertical NAND, also known as 3D NAND) with triple-level cells, which had a memory capacity of 128 Gb.[23] They expanded their TLC V-NAND technology to 256 Gb memory in 2015,[20] and 512 Gb in 2017.[24]

      From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-level_cell

    • BlueMM on 29/11/2019 - 13:23

      Not knowing but about to pull the pin, this is what my quick research found:
      * 2280 is bigger & therefore has better heat dissipation (plus normally better speed).
      * TLC is the cheapest SSD, and consumer only.
      So my plan is to go with the default 2242.

      • BlueMM on 30/11/2019 - 16:38

        After I ordered, the Order Status page includes in the System Details: 256GB M.2 2242 NVMe TLC
        So it looks like both are TLC & the only difference is 2242 vs 2280. So if I got to choose again, I'd go for the 2280.
