Quote from: NikoB on Yesterday at 21:44:10I 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. Or better yet, 300+. Which, again, only a 4k panel can provide. And in general, the overall pixelation of the text will be clearly visible in any program with such a low ppi. Is it possible to call such a screen - high-quality for an employee who spends hours working with text and graphics? I doubt it. Anything below 4k in 2024 for working/surfing should immediately cause a loss of -20 points in the overall results.
For such a wild price for a completely ordinary and already outdated config, it should have 64GB of RAM and 4TB SSD from the factory.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.
Hey NikoB,
I've seen many of your great reviews of reviews.
What would you recommend then? Is there a way to contact you to ask for a laptop suggestion?
