How's your experience with that? It's on the top of my dream laptop list but it's expensive and the second gen is more so....looks like they killed off the line right before it got to the sweet spot (ryzen ai max line) just like the surface laptop which makes me sad.
There were a lot of reports about those things having power or heat firmware problems?
It's the best laptop I have ever used. I have it since it newly came out in 2023 and it never let me down, is quick (I have the 7840u), quiet (passive in power-saver platform profile, unless pushed, but even then it's manageable), can do USB4 so I can use it with a EGPU, which works fantastically. Sleep (S0) works as expected with updated EC FW under Debian stable.
It's incredibly portable, when you take it out of the box you wonder if it's not too small (it's not, it's a perfect size :)).
Battery endurance is good, at least for me. You won't make 10h flights while compiling Chromium though. Get the LCD instead of the OLED if you can, the OLED looks good but uses way more battery I hear.
If you can find it in the max config (64GB, 7840u, 2TB) it's going to make you happy for a long, long time I think.
I don't know what I will use after it dies. There's nothing comparable in portability, power and build quality (which is really, really amazing).
I agree with you: this thing, a few mm thicker and heavier due to beefier heatsink, with a Ryzen 395+ and 128GB would be so incredible. I'd dump so much money into that...
I have one for work; I was excited to receive it, I’ve never been more disappointed with a laptop bearing the ThinkPad brand. Lots of intermittent issues with graphics, BT audio, and performance.
