What can be said in general about the Legion Pro 2022 line - there is an obvious downgrade - instead of 2 TB4.0 ports, one, instead of increasing them to 3...
Let me remind you that starting from TigerLake, Intel builds in 2x2 ports (specially two blocks for easy wiring on the left and right of the laptop). And they are in all chips starting from i3U, but manufacturers in most Intel laptop lines deliberately do not separate the TB logic from the SoC, for which the consumer has already paid in any case to Intel and the laptop manufacturer along the chain, although the wiring of this logic with the required power piping is worth pennies on physical ports. Unlike AMD chips, which received a stripped-down USB40 starting with Zen3+, but it will not be in the L5Pro 2022 either. AMD promises, but Lenovo does not output and cuts TB4.0 ports from Intel's line. Not to mention other manufacturers (like HP/Dell, which TB ports are not output TB4.0 for many series on Intel SoCs all for marketing reasons, in order to sell much more expensive lines and to have something to show them to naive buyers, although wiring in junior lines, like Victus from HP costs a penny. Keep it up! This is not progress, but regression. But marketing and consumerism rules the world today, and not engineers who survive as much as possible from iron, at a minimum of production costs. Intel integrates new features (although Intel lies about the full support for 8k monitors and HDMI 2.1 in her chips from TigerLake+ - SoCs does not have full support for either one or the other, but people, out of illiteracy, buy into these marketing impudent statements)) into SoCs, and manufacturers intentionally do not bring them out. Strange world , in which the same companies duplicitously shout about the need to save resources and long-playing goods that change as rarely as possible, eliminate consumerism, and at the same time, the beneficiaries of these companies and management do their dirty deeds against the planet and civilization in the silence of their offices for the sake of a illusory profits and savings on cents, forcing people to change equipment as often as possible, for their own benefit due to reduced opportunities awns of upgrading and extending their service life due to the presence of many functions that were already built into the chips.
Smartphone companies are especially disgusting. That's who is wasting the resources of the planet in black without any twinge of conscience, skillfully manipulating public opinion and base feelings of ordinary consumers...
