Going back to Nvidia, 32 GB RAM, and FINALLY HDMI 2.1 to support HD codecs, 4k HDR 120HZ for external movie watching was it's biggest flaws. This will be THE under 15 inch laptop to buy this year at this price point. I bought a Razer 14 last year due to these flaws and won't upgrade any time soon but Razer better put 32GB of RAM in this year's 14 or else they will be lucky to sell 10 of them smh.

Quote from: UyghurGenocideinChina on January 04, 2023, 12:27:28Sad to see that we are still missing:
- 240W+ USB charging
- Difficult to read, tiny gamer font on keyboard
- Lack of 64GB (32+32) RAM
- better webcam
- info on max thickness of 2280 M.2 SSD
- lighter, smaller GaN charger
- cleaner software similar to Lenovo Vantage
- option without childish LED matrix kebab

240w USB charging requires USB-C 2.1/PD 3.1, which is functionally not available yet. I mean I'd love to see it, too, but the supporting chipsets just don't exist in a form usable for such laptops.

Having used the 2022 version, I haven't found the key cap text to be hard to read. It's not "business plain," but it's not a business laptop, either.

I do agree on the charger part--it's a brick and is weird to include for a laptop so obviously aimed at portability

Don't worry about the top LED matrix--like the previous versions, you'll need to special order those; the ones you'll find in stores will have plain lids.

LED Matrix is optional though.
Rather than lack of 64GB option, I think the soldered one is the real problem.
As for webcam, they at least included one unlike in the first two (?). LoL.
But yea, would be nice if they actually added all that.

well for me personally, the dgpu option should maxed at 4080

We really don't know much about the mobile version of 4090 or even 4080.
40xx series might actually have better performance at lower power limits compared to previous gen. That's what Jensen said anyway.
xD

The 2022 to spec model struggles to dissipate 105W heat. How do they intend to run 125W+ through this without melting it?

I literally just (Dec 26) bought the 2022 model. Asking myself if I should have waited now :/ But it was only $1099 at Best Buy, tolerably well loaded, and upgradeable for not that much money with more RAM when I decide to. I have mixed feelings about it -- don't need the LED keyboard, for example-- but for a machine that I hope to get 3-4 years out of before it "ages out" it seemed worthwhile. If not I will make a gift of it to my kid in a year or so when his 2020 Lenovo Flex 5 laptop is looking long in the tooth :)

But it still doesn't fix one thing: the separate DC power jack. That has been a disappointment.  I was desperately hoping for a greatly simplified desk setup where I'd just need one cable into my laptop to support power, second-display out to my big monitor, and other USB peripherals that hang off the monitor, like my external keyboard. I despise my work Macbook Pro but it has that one thing going for it. Even my HP Chromebook tablet can support all that off one cable. I suppose maybe it's just the potential maximum power draw for all the GPU+high end CPU HW maybe that requires an old-fashioned separate DC power cord?

Wonder what the price points are like..

So.. No amd advantage this time around. XD
