Hi, does the Power brick come with a USB-C charging jack only or is there an option to charge via the Power jack and use the Thunderbolt port for connectivity?

[@jaiso434]

i watched your thinkpad e16 gen 1 video, which should i go for, for battery life amd or intel? if amd ryzen 5 or ryzen 7 for battery life ? thanks. i subbed.

[@Harx.h]

What were the graphic settings for Csgo? Fps looks really low for a 4060

[@MossMwaura]

Which ThinkPad laptop would you kindly recommend? .I'm a Graphic designer, and basically looking for 3 main things in a laptop. -Main one, eye comfort /matte screen. -Decent performance. -16" inch. Because there are too many options to select on the Thinkpads, it can be rather confusing. I have some bad eyes and I think eye comfort would be the main thing for me.

[@Wisdom7I]

The optional graphics card is likely what is making the extra noise. I never get one on a laptop. This model without the touchscreen has one of the best anti-reflective screens on the market.

[@rudrapatel1114]

What is the Hz of the screen of this model ??

[@Burbanana]

I was just looking at this laptop!

[@sanskarpandey3751]

📌Hey! Watching your review from India 🇮🇳 !!! Keep it up 🙏📌

[@akin242002]

Hopefully you can test the Dell Latitude 7450 with the Intel Ultra CPU.

[@VuPhan-sk9rb]

Hello there, could you please do a review on the HP Zbook Power G10. Really expact ur thoughts on this model which are very helpful to me

[@Dovecomputers]

Not worth my time as the Power G11 is coming out soon. Will be looking to review this model.

[@user-xt1mp1ez7q]

Is dell inspiron 16 plus (7640) intel ultra 7 launch in india ?

[@FreeTime-wi2rh]

Hi YiJone, i just purchased thinkbook g6 but there is g7 in the market just now. Please make a review on that.

[@Dovecomputers]

It's on the cards for review 👍

[@7AZOOF]

the first one to review this masterpiece, thanks a lot bro.

[@moradbarhoumi856]

Good job🎉

[@smann7236]

Would you recommend for 4k editing?

[@Dovecomputers]

Yes you can 4K edit with this laptop. 👍

[@multinaute]

interesting laptop , thanks

[@LucianLatife]

Excellent review. Is the Lenovo ThinkBook 16p Gen 5 the better option?

[@Dovecomputers]

Thanks. I would say so, the ThinkBook 16p Gen5 has better thermals and 100 watts TGP in the RTX 4060.

[@akin242002]

Better to get the Lenovo ThinkPad P16 gen 2 with the Ryzen 7 7840U CPU.

[@friedkitchenrce]

can you do yoga pro 9i please?

[@Dovecomputers]

Got my eye on the Mini-LED model when Lenovo discount it 😁

[@freyna]

A fair review. Thank you. I really liked the other competitors part. So will check them out. You've helped me say no to this Dell.

[@randommonkey4900]

would this be a good laptop for school/engineering?

[@Dovecomputers]

Yes, it would. 👍

[@randommonkey4900]

@@Dovecomputers do you think its kinda future proof then for next four years cuz im stuck between this and maybe spending more on an xps or precision

[@Dovecomputers]

@@randommonkey4900 If your budget can stretch to a XPS or Precision, they would be the better option over the Inspiron 16 plus. Also look at the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i Gen 8. (Currently on offer as the Gen 9 has come out)

[@randommonkey4900]

@@Dovecomputers alright, hows the battery life on all of those options tho?

[@Burbanana]

On second thought.. What a horrible laptop lol

[@Dovecomputers]

😂🤣👍

[@akin242002]

Inspiron = High specs and bad build quality. This version has above average specs and bad build quality.

[@judemecham5175]

Try but I cost like 1,000

[@salsasafi]

I have a 7630 with the rtx 4060 and the build quality is great

Horrible,bad laptop How can dell provide 300 nits in 2024 strange Get a MacBook pro and be free

[@lenin1178]

It's good for your eyes 😅

[@34r0n]

What about battery life?

[@hoangminhx007]

I thought you watch the whole video 13:35

[@Dovecomputers]

Not great if you are a power user, 4 to 5 hours max. Watch > 13:35

[@34r0n]

@@Dovecomputers thank you. That's terrible and at that price point there's no reason not to buy a macbook.

[@Dovecomputers]

@@34r0n Yes totally agree. Large battery, but still disappointing battery life. Less said about the heat and fan noise too.

[@allworksnew]

​@@Dovecomputerswhat's a good medium price laptop for music production? I read that single core performance is best but I cant spend like 900 bucks right now.
