It is really weird to see those disadvantages and this article from Allen? I do not get it.Cuz it sounds like NBC got paid by someone and has to give some disadvantage of this machine which make no sense.
1. No Copilot+? Of couse as it is an AMD based machine, even with Intel Ultra, it is Copilot instead of Copilot+
2. SSD Throttle: Yep,as they used outdated PM9A1 SSD, of course it would be. I got units come with PM9A1a(990Pro) and PC801(SKH P41) and both works like a charm.
3. No P3, brightness is low indeed but P3 is not necessary.
In a word, I think your socre is not fair to HP. NBC always overrated ThinkPad and ignore how shitty machines they make recent years. I do not get it, maybe due to HP's marketing budget. If such things continue, I doubt how many would still believe NBC as the benchmark of all assorted reviews. As a 11yrs reader, I do not feel good about it. partitcuarly when ourselves start to write articles and paid marketing as well. HP generally always better than lenovo these days.
