Why is the performance of the 14 inch model so much worse? Is it because of cooling limitations due to the smaller size?

This is a great start, the OneXGPU is ridiculously overpriced for a 7600xt mobile GPU. This one is a little more down to earth. For contrast, for $750 you can put together an eGPU that can do either Oculink or USB 4/Thunderbolt (but not both) with a 7900GRE. It won't be as portable, but for the intended use, I don't really care about it being super portable, the Radeon 780m iGPU that is in most current Oculink devices is still capable of gaming in a pinch one on the road.

I don't really see a use case for gaming on the road with an external monitor, if I'm not at home I am going to want to play on the monitor built into my device and if I'm at home I don't really care if my eGPU is the size of a Razor Core X and doesn't fit in a laptop bag.

I still think these need to come down to around $300 to catch on at this performance level. Also, you can buy a laptop with a 4060 or even a 4070 built in for less dough than one of these plus a laptop.

This looks like an attractive product and (currently) at a reasonable price point to!

Have a laptop or other device with a low-end iGPU or low-mid range dGPU?

While you'll be stuck with the above when on the go or out in the wild, however with this device you can 'dock' to a boost of GPU power *IF* you at least have a USB4 or Oculink port!

IDK how much (if any) "docking stations" have caught on for home users/consumers but many professionals use them in the office.

The console business model has always been to sell the platform at or near loss and subsidize that with software sales. Introducing third party just means the Xbox consoles won't look cheap compared competitors.

If anything they'll confuse people into thinking they are PCs for your TV. Certainly you'll lose some edge from exotic design when you have to coordinate more manufacturing specs.

Xbox subscriptions are falling and will likely see a price rise. So they are taking a big gamble with this.

hab früher immer gesagt dass wenn Huawei mal von dem Krillin Prozessor auf Snapdragon wechselt würde ich denen ne Chance geben. naja das war vor dem Huaweidebakel...

False. Microsoft is one of the most diverse companies on earth. Yes, the imbecile who claimed their racist against white people is also wrong, but so are you. You'll have to remove the space from the URL, as the site won't let me post a direct link for some reason.

Quote from: Truthbringer on May 24, 2024, 15:02:56I have to comment on the clear lie you told. Compared to PlayStation and I have Xbox. I have encountered more racist ws in Xbox. I am constantly called racial slurs as an African American on Xbox playing cod. Microsoft has been sued in the past for racial discrimination for lack of minorities. If you are going to make up lies at least research the history. Name 5 Xbox exclusives where the lead characters are black? I will wait. Name one Microsoft executive that is African American at Xbox or Microsoft. I will wait. Because there are none absolutely none. Please the only person that is racist is you. Why did you make this article about race? It has nothing to do with that. It says a lot about you being a bigot.

Quote from: NikoB on Yesterday at 21:51:21Again, 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.

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, should just retire from using ANY OLED panel for just gaming.

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