Finally, NikoB is back 😀.

So that's your problem with less than 4K resolution. I'm primarily working in 1080p on a 15.6" notebook (pretty low for your standards) and there are mostly no issues with text rendering in Chrome. Maybe you are referring to grayscale text smoothing because you are working on Linux? But most Linux desktops also support subpixel antialiasing via font hinting (aka Cleartype). On Windows there's support for Cleartype in Chrome, of course. And it looks nearly always great. Except when some 'cool' UX designers using a retina-style Mac to design their webpage and include some web fonts which don't support hinting at all. They look fine on higher dpi screens but rather crappy on lower ones. Fortunately, web font loading can be circumvented in those cases.

4K still doesn't make much sense in notebooks, they suck too much battery power... but you can choose your display yourself for this Lenovo device, the also have a 4k model.

Fact is, TRUE GAMERS, just retire from using ANY OLED panel for just gaming.

ALL OLED panels has the awful flickering, ect. issues, THAT CANNOT BE CORRECTED... EVER!

Das Pixel 5 war da wesentlich besser und gefühlt auch nicht langsamer.

Ja, mein 6er ist ab und zu leider auch so ein Handwärmer, der Akku hat auch nie viel mehr als einen Tag gehalten.

Mir scheint es, dass die Qualität der Chips, die aus Samsungs Fertigung kommen, eine seeeehr breite Gütespanne haben, gerade in der Anfangszeit, als es noch die Überhitzungsprobleme gab, gab es ein breites Spektrum an Leute mit variierender Problemintensität. Manche hatten dermaßen kurze Akkulaufzeiten und heiße Geräte, dass sich die Nutzung im Sommer selbst im Schatten als unmöglich herausstellte, andere hatten sehr wenig Probleme.

Ich persönlich bin froh, wenn die Geräte von der Fertigung bei Samsung wegkommen, Exynos hat in Vergangenheit mehr Probleme gemacht, als alles Vergleichbare, was ich sonst hatte.

Wie die Fertigung von Snapdragon eine Zeit lang bei Samsung aussah, könnte man ja beim Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 sehen. 65% der hergestellten Prozessoren waren Ausschuss, der schlicht nicht verwertbar war, nur 35% haben funktioniert. TSMC hat 70% funktionierende Ausbeute gehabt.

...darunter zweimal HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet und viermal HDMI...

Also mein Pi5 hat keine 6 HDMI Anschlüsse. Denke das sollte 2xUsb2 und 2xUsb3 heissen.

The S9 will not hold water to a standard Sony offering.   They should jave presented an upgraded GX9 for m43... heers.

Ja, die deutschen Hersteller...
Sind das dieselben Hersteller, die seit Jahren erzählen, was für tolle Sachen sie in der Schublade haben und sie Tesla innerhalb kürzester Zeit in die Schranken weisen könnten?
Mein lieber Mann - das hat ja super funktioniert.
Und jetzt kommen noch die chinesischen Hersteller dazu.

Ist aber nicht schlimm - wir haben ja super Spaltmaße und Ziernähte...

Ruhe in Frieden deutsche Autoindustrie!

I'm sorry but these articles are just plain SILLY at best and dumb at worse!

While there might be a FEW "on the fence" for the most part there are WIN users and there are MAC users. PERIOD.

No 'whizzbang' MAC is going to get a WIN user to switch. Ditto for a 'whizzbang' WIN device - it ain't going to happen!

Keep in mind that MOST/many of the 'light computer use' folk have migrated their use to their SMART PHONE or Tablets so the market for super long runtime on battery is shrinking.

IMHO: the 'real' competition here is - Chromebooks!

MS & et-all need to price their X Elite offerings with a compelling price (IE: Read VERY inexpensive!!) to gather market share from much much more useful devices.

After all, much like the Chromebooks - there really is not MUCH you can do with WIN-on-ARM at this point. The pricing of the devices ought to reflect that.

Unless of course they are expecting "the lemmings" to simply flock to the new 'whizzbang' devices because they are 'new' and offer 'CoPilot+'.

Comical.

Tja, das Motorola Edge 50 Pro mit ebenfalls dem Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 kann dann wohl einpacken, wenn das Honor-Basis-Modell vermutlich unter 500 Euro kosten wird.

I wonder why Lenovo is doing the redneck thing with 1 USB40 port, instead of bringing two to the case according to the Zen4 Phoenix specification? Or is there some kind of "problem" again, as with the shameful downgrade of RAM to 6400, although AMD claims support for 7500?

Again, the fhd screen is very depressing in 2024 - there is no choice of 4k IPS with 1500:1+ and a real response time no more than 6-7 ms on g2g/b2w. Text in the Chrome (and other Chromium-based code) is always cloudy due to incorrect grayscale text smoothing caused by Google. To eliminate this problem at 16" you need a ppi of at least 220-230.

For such a wild price for a completely ordinary and already outdated config, it should have 64GB of RAM and 4TB SSD from the factory.

I don't like that temperatures are measured at 21-22C, this is abnormal and not comfortable for home. Typical temperature is 24-25C. It is at this room temperature that operating temperatures should be measured, and they will undoubtedly increase significantly. This means there is no value in the data in the temperature review.

Again, I'm already tired of the fact that the authors of all reviews on NB stupidly write about the presence of an HDMI2.1 port, although any version can be hidden under it nameplate courtesy of scammers from the HDMI consortium. It is necessary to check support for FRL6 mode and if it is not there, the port cannot be called 2.1. Because the majority of naive consumers in the world believe that the 2.1 nameplate means 48Gbps, but here there is probably no sign of it.

Well, again, I'll point out that using such a laptop while lying on sofas and beds, reclining, resting with full performance from the power supply for right-handed people will be a problem - the USB-C power plug sticks out perpendicular to the case in this series and is easily broken by feet.

RJ45 with antique 1Gbps 25 years ago is a disgrace. There should be at least 5Gbps in 2024.

Overall, the result is a rather mediocre laptop, which can only be of interest at a price of around 900-1000 euros. If purchasing managers are not corrupt and do not receive kickbacks in large companies from sellers/Lenovo, it is unlikely that an adequate purchasing manager will agree to spend so much money on a model that is obviously outdated in performance and extremely limited in upgrades.
