Great video! Just wanted to ask if there is any screen door effect on the display, it can be an issue on touchscreen oleds. Also another point, if you’re planning on buying this, get it with 32gb of ram since Lenovo only charges like $80 extra.

Thanks for the review. Were the Geekbench 6 benchmarks done on battery or plugged to power source? Also what power mode was it on? Balanced or Ultra perfomance? Thanks
@MannyRataul3 ай бұрын
These were done under performance mode, not sure if battery was plugged into a power source. These were screenshots of the benchmarking I found online. I will be doing my own tests with and without the charger plugged in to see how effecient this machine is.

i hope windows default have time machine like Apple did. i don't like the copilot stuf/i don't need it now, but powerfull backup tool is a matter in windows machine it self. What Apple competitor did usually has a better spec, but efisiensi system Apple better. So 10 core vs 12 core or even a lot of core in othe Apple competitor are actually didn't take too much for efisiensi n better performance. Windows lack on efisiensi and complex UI.

hey im in a same situation as you but recently i see justjosh livestream on unboxing those snapdragon laptops, it seems to be quite troublesome to install applications. from what i seen things like java jdk doesnt have arm version for download so hardwise side, definitely a beast but software side seems like a hassle for now. in general, do see which applications you need to use and try to search if they have arm version. edit: apple is also having back to school sales rn so prices could be competitive against the yoga 7x

I've been using remote desktop for when I need to do more extensive tasks. I find it works well in most cases. I tried using a MacBook pro. It wasn't a great experience. The OS was difficult to get used to and the battery life takes a huge hit when running a VM on arm.

The big issue with wifi 7 is that it has even less range than 6. It can't penetrate practically anything, so unless you live in a giant and empty box for a home it's a poor solution for most people.

Basic laws of physics, faster speeds will also limit range. Great thing about Wifi 7 that it this adapter is 100% backwars compatible with all other wifi signals so there really is not an issue here.
