    Great all rounder. I got an earlier model E14 for the wife years ago and it's still going strong. Thinkpad build quality and that Ryzen refuses to get warm = really good battery life

    • bobokingdom on 14/06/2025 - 14:18

      Did you get the U version or HS version. Apparently, this is the more powerful HS version which also consumes more power (i.e. hotter than U series)

      • pressPlay on 14/06/2025 - 14:49
        +3

        Yes I suppose I was generalising a bit here. Noticed this is HS. My wife's E14 is a 4500U, about 60% of the performance of this 7535HS but around half the TDP.

        I also have a T14s Gen 3 6650U, nearly same performance as this 7535HS but with 20% lower TDP. In practice is rarely goes above "lukewarm" (highly scientific..).

        Generally impressed with AMD and their efficiencies over Intel. The U models might be the best to go for to maximise this aspect.

          The battery life on these will still be very good. The U series get better battery life by limiting performance not through more efficient design.

          If you doing low intensity tasks and have a 10-20% CPU load you aren't going to get any better battery life with a U series chip. If you are doing more intensive tasks then you would probably bring the charger anyway

      Same, got an ThinkPad E431 (i7-3632QM, GT 740M) years ago with backup swapable battery, still going strong with SATA SSD and 16GB RAM upgrade. The machine just refuses to die.

      I too am on the e14 Gen 2 Ryzen 4500u. Really, other than the display not getting as bright as some of my other machines, I really can't fault it at all.

      All this bodes well for when I do need to replace it in the future. Better specs, better performance, for LESS money

      I really wonder what the true incremental cost for them is to go with a proper screen, this is gimped to high hell. But probably a means to upsell other models.

      • shabaka on 14/06/2025 - 18:52
        +15

        the cost difference is minimal. the only reason these panels exist nowadays is to create hardware tiers. they put these ones into "cheap" laptops and reserve better panels for something more expensive.

        modern mid class laptops are plenty fast for content creators, not single one of them would buy an expensive "pro" laptop if cheap laptops had good color accurate panels installed

        Lenovo pretty carefully maintains that, even on deep sales you won't get high res color accurate panels for less than $2k it's a magic number.

        I used to cheat the system by installing better panels in mid range laptops but the combination of the following factors has stopped me from doing that:
        - manufacturers caught on with the trend and started gluing panels to the frame
        - more and more touch panels out there, those are PITA to replace
        - I moved to Apple M chips and all apple laptops come with good color accurate panels out of the box. refurbished M1 Pro MBP 16 base config is plenty for photo editing and once you, say, factor in a laptop like this one, plus better panel, plus effort to install it, it's just cheaper to get a refurbished MBP it will be faster, will come with a stellar screen, will probably last longer on a single charge, will have better build quality, speakers, keyboard etc. etc.

        yeah I understand that I am a former laptop technician, I'm not afraid to open laptops up, including Apple, and replacing a MBP battery for me is like championship for magpies

        • Agret on 14/06/2025 - 23:28
          +2

          The panels aren't glued, they have fancy tape strips behind them. You have to get some tweezers onto the end that sticks out above/below the screen and carefully pull it out.

          Can get the proper pull tape to mount the new screen or you can use double sided tape like 3M, downside to double sided is if you want to remove your screen again in future it will probably crack trying to pry it off the tape. You can buy the pull tape pretty cheap from AliExpress

          Use the site panelook to help you match up the screen technology and physical connector between your old screen & new screen.

          • shabaka on 15/06/2025 - 09:28
            +2

            @Agret: yes, exactly what I was doing. still have a few rolls of pull tape in the drawer

            comes handy replacing MBP batteries, too

            panelook is the way to go, yes. not 100% accurate but it gets you almost there all the way. cross-checking with Laptop Screens dot com is the way to be sure

            • Agret on 16/06/2025 - 00:40

              @shabaka: Rolls sounds like a more cost effective way than what I've been using which is bulk packages of individual pull strips from Ali. Where did you get the rolls?

              How do you handle the end of the tape when mounting the screen since the individual strips have a tapered non adhesive end so you can easily pry it up and begin pulling for future removal? I suppose you could adhere it to some small piece of paper or something?

              • shabaka on 16/06/2025 - 07:36

                @Agret: 3M makes them, and I picked rolls in Singapore ages ago they were slightly thinner than what 3M makes. can see 3M ones on eBay, maybe some other places have them too

                very fiddly as you imagined and if I need let's say 20cm I waste almost just as much every time, but getting better at it. I have some strong regular tape, I attach a little piece of it to the non-adhesive ends once I cut as much as I need, and then carefully pull it away once adhesive is where I want it

    • taki on 14/06/2025 - 15:09

      Why waste money on small screen when my 3* 4K 67-81cm screens (2* Dell + Samsung) are much better & ergonomic. I prefer non-reflective >40cm laptop screens (carry once, use many times. At home just messaging screen beside the real screens ;)

      • Agret on 16/06/2025 - 00:42

        It can be a bit troublesome carrying and setting up your portable displays when moving from space to space but yeah it's nice that USB-C gives us this option of multi display on the go. I've got 2x 15.6 inch ones, didn't really think of carrying a third. Wonder if my computer can do 3 if I connect the third via HDMI cable (only have 2x USB-C ports)

      Lenovo loves putting shitty panels in all but the highest end laptops.

      At least they've stopped selling 1368x768 TN panels on the low-end now.

      • shabaka on 15/06/2025 - 15:52
        +3

        there still are TN panels in bottom line Dell, HP and Lenovo sadly. those shouldn't even exist at this point

        even a $200 phone will have a better quality panel these days, yet laptop manufacturers somehow maintain this ancient status quo

    Did they ever fix the sleep bug that was impacting AMD Ryzen 5 laptops?
    I bought a HP Elitebook with a 6800U and I gave up on ever using it away from the mains because if it ever goes to sleep it can't be woken back up (thanks Microsoft, for making everyone use Windows Modern Standby instead of the old S3 sleep mode that actually (profanity) worked).

    I recently ordered this 14" Asus Expertbook from MSY for $999

    https://www.msy.com.au/product/asus-expertbook-p1-14in-fhd-i…

    Every other place I found online was selling it for around $1200. It has 1yr standard warranty but if you look just below the add to cart button there is a bundle for a 3yr onsite warranty that costs $0 when purchased alongside the machine. I believe the 3yr warranty begins after your 1yr standard warranty so you get 4yrs of onsite warranty on it which is great for peace of mind.

    • bobokingdom on 14/06/2025 - 18:01

      I think it is 36 months (total), not 48 months.

      • Agret on 15/06/2025 - 17:17

        I thought it might be, I'll have to check once the laptop arrives but if you go to the page for the warranty addon

        https://www.msy.com.au/product/asus-premium-care-commerical-…

        And scroll down to the specifications it says

        Service Level 36M / 3Y total from 12M/1Y standard
        Support Type 36M/12M Out-of-box (Australia)

        I think because it's a business line model it comes with 1yr onsite warranty as standard so this is an addon to that.

          • kaikor on 15/06/2025 - 14:38

            @Lukeypop: I received it already few days ago, not in the original box at all, as it is Refurbed not New, but the laptop itself looks brand new, no marks on it at all, just the charger is used for sure.

            Setting up is a pain for windows, now noticed after sleep, the bluetooth mouse cannot connect anymore, only if I reboot the laptop then back to normal, is this a problem I need to contact support?

            I used the trick to bypass creating MS account, hence there's none bloatware installed at all, first time full charge on battery it stuck at 98%, checked battery report and it has done 8 cycles, i am waiting for it to drain and recharge again to see, again is this another concern?

            After so many years from Macbook back to Windows, maybe I made the wrong decision …

          • kaikor on 15/06/2025 - 16:25

            @Lukeypop: Another issue now, battery is still around 55% then all of a sudden the laptop just completely no warning and switched off, plugged in charger and showing 1%, WTF is this? Anyone know if I can just quickly return this POS? Or I have to go thru painful support first?

          ARM Windows laptop? One with a Snapdragon chip?

    • brich1980 on 15/06/2025 - 23:19

      Thinkpad range is solid and long lasting but its battery is way too small (only 47Wh). You would expect this model has only 4-5 hours and probably an hour more with energy saver on in Windows. I don't understand why Lenovo can't use larger battery in Thinkpad considering its high price point. If you are after serious long battery life (13+ hours), you need to look at Snapdragon X series.

      Lenovo Yoga range has large battery (67 or 70Wh i.e. 40% more than Thinkpad). In other words, same specs in Yoga chassis you will instantly get 40% more battery life. I am using Yoga + Intel Ultra 5 125H, can reach 10 hours of usage time with daily use. You can find this model from Officeworks or TGG for $1097 (before any potential cashback or gift card savings).

      Ultimate battery life king (the most expensive) is the combination of Yoga Snapdragon X series. You would get 17-20 hours before charge.
