3 things I don't like about my Lenovo P1 Gen 7

[@crazyelf1]

The new P1 has a Sensel trackpad - it is a Haptic touchpad. It does seem to be a lot more precise. You can play around with it in the Windows settings. I have a P16 - its the thicker version of the same family, although released with the P1 Gen 6. The cooling issues are not as prevalent here and the laptop can go to higher GPU and CPU power usage levels. Putting powerful parts into a thin laptop always tends to result in throttling. I wish Intel had better CPUs.

I have had one of the fans break on me within 12h of home usage. The trackpad was working good before updating to latest window for some reason. Also, the fans were tiny bit less noisy on the original windows as well before updating. No amount of BIOS and power plan setting every turned off the fans on the 185H model. I see some people reported lower fan noise with 165H. Bought TP for reliability, but by far has been first laptop break on me in hours not days haha.

This guy is being nice when he says "kinda loud" 😹. They are really loud and annoying. They are even louder than a desktop fan 😂

[@HAMYLABS]

Yeah they are pretty loud! I'm personally not that annoyed with it but I think it's cause I'm using the thing. My guess is if someone else had it and it was being loud I would be annoyed. Maybe I need to take it out into a public place and gauge reactions.

I'm thinking of getting this without a dGPU because all of them are limited to 60W when the RTX series can be speced up to 100W.

[@KC-uf1rg]

They get 80w. Lenovo lied about the 60W cap

[@nameless_stranger]

@KC-uf1rg really? Why is the psref so inaccurate istg.

[@KC-uf1rg]

@@nameless_stranger if you go to Nvidia app it says 80W
