Well. We see in front of us a "professional" model, at a monstrous price for this hardware config.
What do we get at the beginning of 2024 for this money?
An outdated U series processor with slow RAM (the latency is simply monstrous), and also soldered, i.e. The lack of memory will be felt initially with a measly 32GB, and not at least 64GB for this price. Moreover, despite the low PL1, the laptop is noisy even under average load - 37 dB.
As usual in the "professional" model, greedy Lenovo installed a 25-year-old RJ45 network port - a shameful 1Gbps, despite the fact that 2.5Gbps is built into the SoC, but they could have installed a separate controller for 5-10Gbps for this price.
The 7040 series has 2 USB40 ports and 2 USB-C 10Gbps ports. But where is the second USB40 port on the right or in the back (which is much better and more versatile)? They don't exist because of Lenovo's greed.
The screen is disgustingly glossy, like all AMOLEDs, but the author couldn't even calibrate this craft to dE<2 (2.9!). Thus, the screen is not suitable even for semi-professional color work. The flickering completes the picture. I don't believe in 600Hz PWM for a simple reason - OLED panels with real such PWM burn out 2 times faster - if this is the case, expect screen burnout after 6-7k hours (which is much less than the expected duration of use of such series). And of course, the author deliberately did not check the native contrast, which 100% does not correspond to marketing declarations, and is most likely 50-100 times worse than stated in 1M:1+
The author himself tore the keyboard to smithereens. I don't even need to add anything, except maybe again about the moronic narrow Esc, F1...F2. In essence, there is nothing left of the old high-quality Thinkpad keyboard. Is everything done for whom? For lovers of touch screens? Are they able to type quickly on a desk? Let's bet it's not? This is not printing petty comments on Twitter. Here people have to WORK for hours!
Even the quality of the laptop's speakers was disgraceful.
I have a hard time understanding the target audience of this particular version of the model.
With IPS 4k (but again there are no 120/144Hz options and a response time of less than 7ms on G2G/B2W), it will probably find its admirers, but subject to the installation of 64GB and 4TB SSD for the same price. Or reducing the price by about 600-700 euros. Moreover, with a basic warranty of only 1 year, shameful for such a series...
