If you're not desperate, wait for Panther Lake, it will fix a lot of problems with Arrow Lake and be built on Intel 18A and will also get vastly better iGPU using Xe3 Celestial. Lenovo are a joke not offering this with Strix Halo.

Lenovo are a joke not offering this with Strix Halo.

Same as Mercedes is a joke for not offering their cars with BMW's engines. Or AMD for not offering Nvidia's chips in their GPUs.

Finally.

I've been refreshing the X1 page every morning waiting for WWAN.

Now not only will we see WWAN but also a CPU upgrade.

I understand people waiting for Panther Lake, but this will be a huge upgrade over my existing system (1st gen P16S).

If we're lucky the Panther Lake system will finally get an ≥800 NITS display.
