Thank you for that link Dorby - I note he has a vapour chamber model and I'm surprised that the CPU power usage and in turn the performance isn't as high as some other models as I would have thought the vapor chamber would allow the CPU to use a lot of power when only it is under load and not the GPU.

Interesting his one still charged off 100w USB-C, I was wondering if that might not be a thing with the bigger graphics cards.  (as I mentioned in my earlier comment)

Just one question, was a 65w charger tried when the laptop was powered off? Or does that not work at all.

CAD might need GPU for rendering.
One of recent developments in Architecture rendering is using Unreal engine. Also now in use for product design. That implies at least a 3060 preferably a 3070/3080.

The BMW27  Blender test done for CPU should also be done for the GPU/Optix.

Then compare it to a RTX3060 ... it will be clear that this card is inferior.

Since HP zbook studio g8 also only has vapor chamber on higher GPU configuration.
Will  Zbook studio g8 has the same issue as well?
Could you test the HP zbook studio g8(without vapor chamber version) to see if it has the same issue?

Even HP's consumer line 1300$ Envy 15 comes with vapor-chamber by default on its RTX 3050 base model SKU.

I've used the ZBook Studio laptop and while its surface temperatures aren't ideal, the CPU performance you get on the HP is much better than on the X1 Extreme.

Edit: My bad, looks like T1000 has no vapor chamber cooling

Dear dorby

you are inccorect:
For the latest version of Zbook studio and fury (g8)

You can found the floowing :"he HP custom vapor chamber (Z VaporForce) is only available on configurations with NVIDIA RTXTM A3000 Laptop GPU or GeForce RTXTM 3060 GPU and higher GFX."

This is incorrect. HP ZBook Studio since the original uses vapor-chamber cooling on all configurations including Quadro.
Even HP's consumer line 1300$ Envy 15 comes with vapor-chamber by default on its RTX 3050 base model SKU.

I've used the ZBook Studio laptop and while its surface temperatures aren't ideal, the performance you get on the HP is much better than on the X1 Extreme/P1.

Hey,
thanks for review!

I didn't get from the review comparison between P1 and X1extreme CPU on dual-channel... Is it bad for both of them or does X1extreme have better CPU performance?

If CPU is lower than expected for i7-11th, can you then recommend this laptop for programming/multi-threading?

Thanks!

Is the second SSD slot really a 2280 slot ?
From looking at the image it looks like a 2242 might fit there, but not a 2280 ? Which will be very sad, because I preemptively ordered a 2280 nvme ssd. :/

Hi, and thx for the review. I am curios to know, how can the same panel have such variation in contrast B160QAN02.M in P16 is 998, and B160QAN02.M in P1 G4 is almost 40% higher. Can panel variation be so high across panels?
