  1. Thank you, at least after your first reply above which you were wrong because I am looking for help (and yes I am allowed to vent a bit about my problems with Lenovo, doesn't change I am looking for help), But with Starlink I will not be getting anything wireless, I prefer hard wired and turning off my wifi. But thanks for your opinion as to choose the big one which is a bit more powerful than the G14 with a better and brighter screen. I am not sold on it yet, but a local shop here ordered a G14 to be delivered from another store so I will be able to see it in person. I saw a G15 today though! It's quite thick, I was surprised. And it had a 16:9 aspect ratio, while I prefer the 16:10. Not sure what year it was but it was new in box. He opened it to show me. Looks nice but the G15 doesn't really feel like an ultrabook because it's so thick, so it feels more like a traditional laptop. If I can get my hands on one I would like to see the M16 in person. But the battery life of the G14 might actually be a good selling point for it. It's a tough choice. But both are around $2500 (G14) to $3000 (M16), so the price is astronomical, so I can't quite justify getting both, so that's why I'm torn. If the G14 was 1200 I would get it. but for double that it's really stretching what I can feel justifies the laptop. So I want to make the right choice.
  2. No, because I got a 10% off with my credit card, and now that the deal is gone I am no longer interested in getting a Lenovo laptop. It was overpriced anyway, 50% more than last year for the same laptop of last year's during the same black friday. It was not a sale. It is a racket. I waited a whole year to get the deal and after being unable to order, I give up, I ONLY wanted lenovo for the click buttons above the mouse pad, which I consider essential, but now I will consider an alternative because I waited for a year only be be disappointed with continued cancelled orders no matter what I did, despite my best efforts, and this was also at an insane premium, it is an 800 value laptop for top of the line and they sell for $1500. Stupid and ridiculous. If I'm going to spend $1500 now I will decide to get a gaming laptop instead so I have more power as a second laptop with high power and dedicated graphics, instead of just a replacement for my old x1 carbon. I hate the overpriced values of existing latops. $3,000 for some of these laptops or even $4,000 is just stupid. How about I sell you a pair of shoes for $500,000? No thanks I will buy a $50 pair from the nearby store. Dumb pricing on electronics has caused me to exit the market.
  3. I hate mac, so there's that And terrible value for the same quality This is my opinion, and I'm not trying to get into a mac vs windows debate. Just saying it's a hard pass on macs.
  4. It's not a matter of internet speed. All computers get good internet speed. Of any year since the dotcom boom of the 2000s. No I will not be using an external monitor. As I said I'll be traveling. I will not be buying any monitors. I will only use the laptop. I often like using my laptop on my lap in bed, and will carry it around accasionally.
  5. I'm a business owner, systems admin, developer, content creator, writer, and soon to be graduate student in another country. I need a lot of power, and I don't game although I might do a little. I called and spent many hours on the phone with Lenovo for nothing, it kept being canceled the next day after they insisted that the order would not be canceled this time. I tried at least 7 or 8 times. Eventually, I gave up. I tried other cards too, and also tried Paypal, which was instantly canceled. Manager at Lenovo told me they had been dealing with the order problem all day every day since the switch. They never should have switched. They lost my money and lost me as a customer because I'm trying competitors now.
  6. Sorry but you say God's name in vain so many times that I had to turn it off. Lately I heard you guys saying God's name in vain constantly so I'm going to have to discontinue watching you. I'm just saying this for feedback. Sorry guys. Interesting video but I can't watch.
  7. I can't decide which one will be best. I won't be gaming but I might do some gaming. I like the extra screen real estate of the M16. But I like the lighter weight of the G14. Or should I wait for the 2023 G14 model to come out? Price doesn't matter because both are already exorbitantly overpriced. If I'm going to spend at least $2000 to $2500, then I want the best laptop for my usage. I am traveling for an extended period, so the performance is going to be a lot better than my X1 Carbon because I can't use a desktop while traveling. Usage is content creation, etc. I love the 2.5lbs of the X1 carbon, I tried to buy a Gen 10 but after spending $7500 in credit card authorizations that all failed (problem with Lenovo's new payment gateway, it charged but then refunded a couple days later every time, I tried for 2 weeks), I gave up. And I could use something with more power and keep my older X1 carbon as a backup. Usage: Some content creation Some Server Admin work Some development work Learning / Graduate School (next year)
  8. On further research, the intel+MX450 is better, but marginally. the 5800H's integrated iGPU which is Vega 8 is very comparable to the MX450. Performance: Vega 8: 8.0 pts MX450: 10.3 pts However the 5800H Ryzen is a way better cpu than the 1165G7. It is dramatically better on multicore performance. So overall, it seems that the 5800H is the better deal overall. The only major downside is the lack of Thunderbolt 4, which means I have to find a new dock for external monitors and can't use my awesome Thunderbolt 4 dock that cost hundreds of dollars. I hope AMD adds Thunderbolt 4 support soon.
  9. I have a choice between two laptop models. They are identical in every way, except that one has the Ryzen 7 5800H, and the other has i7-1165G7 and includes a discrete GPU, the MX450, and because it's Intel, it also supports Thunderbolt 4. This is not for gaming, but I will be doing lots of graphics work, huge amounts of tabs (hundreds) and multiple virtual desktops multitasking, and some video editing, but not much. I'm a poweruser and will be using this as a workhorse. What do you think will be the better combo? The AMD without gpu, or the Intel+MX450?
  10. And to update, they did confirm there is no onboard RAM. But had no answer as to if it's running in single channel mode, so probably is.
  11. I do like my thinkpad and the main thing that keeps me in the thinkpad is the dedicated mouse buttons above the touchpad that I really use. I got the X1 carbon when it was the lightest weight and thinnest laptop out there. But I bought from lenovo. Get the warranty because guaranteed you'll need it, it's still chinese junk just like most stuff nowadays. It's in another league compared to HP though, which is the worst. I got my friend into a thinkpad from a mac, and she loves it. She got a yoga off ebay, and it's way faster than her old macbook and just as thin and light. I like her laptop because I like the built in stylus and ability to draw. I'm thinking of getting a convertible for that reason. Wish my X1 was convertible with a touchscreen, but the downside is the reflective screen. Probably better to have both for that reason. I really prefer a matte screen for daily use. Maybe I'll just have two laptops, one for convertible features and one for daily use. But yeah, Lenovo is overpriced and obviously caters to businesses. That's why I figured they snuck in the $700 for a 1TB m.2 drive upgrade, I guess hoping some stupid business would click pay without looking at the price. The new prices on lenovo are insane except during sales.
  12. No it doesn't. You're crazy if you are spending $3,000 on a thinkpad!! Lolol!! What do you do, wait for the times when nothing is on sale or right before black friday when the prices are so high no one buys it? The prices are half that during sales. They put those stupid prices so that when the "sales" happen people think they are getting a "deal" for a chinese laptop at $1000 to $1500 for the top of the line model.
