In the US (at the moment at least) you can't get one with the 4070.

[@jackstrawful]

I’m hugely looking forward to the second gen of Ultra chips - I never like buying 1st gen products cuz there tend to be large optimization gains in the follow up, even if the chip itself remains virtually unchanged. I just hope the Yoga line stays focused on efficiency and portability at the expense of raw performance - for years, I’ve been wanting a laptop that has performance maybe no better than a 3-4 yr old model, but has put all its improvements into efficiency, so I can get a machine with 100%+ longer battery life that actually lasts all day in the field. I feel like Intel was promising that for years, and, sure, they did get much more efficient, but they sucked it all up with greater performance, resulting in higher TPDs overall. Im hopeful that with the Ultra line we can actually get some falling TPDs

OK, so I'm gonna be honest here. I love Hardware Canucks, been a follower for a long time. However, when watching this video, something clicked. Notice how he continuously praises the PC, from it's slick design to its great cooling and great camera and speakers and so on. What I consider to be a red flag, is not mentioning its problems. OK, I get it, the video is sponsored by Lenovo, but that shouldn't affect the review. Go watch Just Josh videos and notice how the PC that, in your mind, is perfect, turns out to be full of problems and flaws. It's because he really tests them, as a real user, while being neutral. I'm not commenting because I want you to watch Just Josh video, but to point the problem I'm seeing. I'm really disappointed by this video and I hope this would change in the future.

@@donovankean The issue I had with my computer was it was using roughly using 25 watts at Idle; yet there was nothing running in the background according to Task Manager; except for 'System'. Well, issue appeared to be the Optimus feature found in Nvidia GPU; where the computer will try to decide whether to use the Nvidia GPU or the Integrated Graphics. To fix this, this is what I needed to do: - Open 'Task Manager' (just hit the "Windows Key" and type in "Task Manager" if you're not familiar with this.) - In the 'Task Manger' app, under the 'Performance Tab' make sure you can see both the Integrated Graphics (usually GPU 0) and the Nvidia Graphics (usually GPU 1). If you see both of those, that is great, and you can skip the rest of this paragraph. If you only see the Nvidia, then a setting in the "Bios" of the system may only have the Nvidia GPU running, which will use way more energy. (To get into your BIOs setting, you usually one will have to continually and Rapidly Pressing the "F2" key while booting back up from Restarting the computer (may have to hold down the 'function key' (also known as the 'FN' key, usually located next to the 'Windows Key'). From there, usually there is an 'Advanced Settings' where you can change the laptop to only use the Nvidia GPU, Auto Adjust, or Optimus. (I have mine set to Auto Adjust) - If / when you see both the Nvidia and Integrated graphics in Task Manager, likely older Nvidia Drivers didn't properly get written over. To fix this, when downloading new Drivers for the Nvidia GPU (either from Nvidia's Website or via the "GeForce Experience" app on the machine) *** When installing a new Driver, DO NOT select 'Express Installation' when prompted. INSTEAD select 'Custom Installation'. After doing so, hit OK to start the Installation Process. *** When the box show up to install, ***Make sure to check the 'Perform a Clean Installation' box prior to hitting 'Install***'. (This will make sure there is No Residual code remaining from a Previous Driver; for me, this was the 'Fix' for my crappery battery life). - That should be it. However, I have had still seen battery life degradation even after do as I stated above. It appears that some Nvidia Drivers are just better than others. I've had to revert to slightly older drivers, using the same steps I explained above, before my MUCH, MUCH, MUCH better battery life began to show up. Good luck.

This only comes with a 4060 in the US markets, it is not available in the 4070 configuration.

Thanks for the Ad.....

It's hard to trust these people when this is basically a big advert paid for by Lenovo. I only realised halfway in when I realised he had nothing bad to say and kept saying things like 'impressive' 'one of the best' 'premium' and talking about huge improvements when actually it was maybe a 5-6% improvement. It's a bit depressing. Kind of pointless watching.

This would the perfect gaming Notebook for me. Because it is very silent. But i think 3,2k is to much for the 4070 with 128 bit und 8gb ram :(. Is the 4070 140 Watts?

[@potato_burner]

It is not silent at all. It’s loud as hell during gaming. Also it discharges battery while gaming. 170w charger is not enough.

[@eladbari]

Gosh! There's NO Option for a 14" inch 4070 + 64GB option in 2024...?! 😢😢😢

[@bradhaines3142]

curious how this compares to something like the framework 16 i preordered (batch 5) probly hard to compare because of the option difference with the framework

Hello there, I have a 2023 Pro 9i with 4060 on board. I bought it as refurb and having an issue while switching from integrated graphics to 4060. I already tried 2 of those laptops is there some procedure how to switch beteween those GPUs, as when I stop playing Civ V and want to go back to Integrated GPU my screen is flickering and mouse is moving like I have 2 fps.

Review the ideapad pro 5 series and other budget friendly laptops

[@AhmadQ.81]

There is only one TB4 port another is 3.2x2 that support only 20GB trabsfer and not suitable for TB dock station and the HDMI only support 4k@60Hrz more than that the usb-a ports support only 5MB and the SD reader is on the slow side supporting o ly UHS I. More over the wifi is 6e and cannot be upgraded to wifi 7. All these are killing drawback and how ni reviewer is clearing this.

Hi, can I add an extra M.2 SDD? I've seen reviews that showed there was an extra slot but I don't seem to see it here. Thank you!

[@VTeixex]
