Why the insult?
re: to understand the difference between this Thinkpad and the XMG we need to wait 5 years. Many top-end laptops look overpriced when you compare the specs. But there is more than specs. This Thinkpad is very silent. Does not heat. Has a superb keyboard and touchpad. Everything but the wifi module is replaceable. Battery runs long.
If you want a battle specs MSI will always win. I know because I played that game, went with a MSI (best specs for the money) and I dumped it 18 months later. Man did I hate that laptop. It heated the room, was noisy as hell, and the screen had less contrast than white against pure white. I was coming from a Dell that ran for 10 years, and it was replaced by another Dell (this time a XPS) that is 8 years old and is still going well.
This T1g gen 8 can be had with an IPS screen (my preference) with 32gb of RAM and a 5060 for around 2900€ which is still a lot of money, more than a Yoga Pro 9 but the build quality is probably what the buyer would be paying for.
