Yoga Thinkpad 460?

Have you guys seen the new Thinkpad?  Sure the DDR3 memory but a 940m, ample room for SSD, with good thermals FOR 900 BUCKS?  WHAT!  There has to be something seriously wrong with this unit, that I can't seem to figure out.

I don't even know if I am posting this in the right place!  But it seems like news to me!  I mean this seems like the best Thinkpad model of all time, for a completely modest price.  IT HAS A WACOM PEN DRIVER.  Which in my opinion makes it completely superior to the Surface book!
 

 
Can someone talk me down?  I am kinda freaking out right now.

940m isnt too bad actually, I'm just fine with my 650m. Although it only has 1 usb 3.0 port (well I guess 1 usb 3.0 is and 2 usb 2.0 is better than 2 usb 3.0), it seems like a good laptop. Processor is good, now all it needs is 500GB SSD and 16GB and its the perfect convertable laptop.

hello!

is it me you're looking for?

Spoiler

Desktop: X99-PC

CPU: i7 5820k

Mobo: X99 Deluxe

Cooler: Dark Rock Pro 3

RAM: 32GB DDR4
GPU: GTX 1080

Storage: 1TB 850 Evo, 1TB HDD, bunch of external hard drives
PSU: EVGA G2 750w

Peripherals: Logitech G502, Ducky One 711

Audio: Xonar U7, O2 amplifier (RIP), HD6XX

Monitors: 4k 24" Dell monitor, 1080p 24" Asus monitor

 

Laptop:

-Overkill Dell XPS

Fully maxed out early 2017 Dell XPS 15, GTX 1050 4GB, 7700HQ, 1TB nvme SSD, 32GB RAM, 4k display. 97Whr battery :x 
Dell was having a $600 off sale for the fully specced out model, so I decided to get it :P

 

-Crapbook

Fully specced out early 2013 Macbook "pro" with gt 650m and constant 105c temperature on the CPU (GPU is 80-90C) when doing anything intensive...

A 2013 laptop with a regular sized battery still has better battery life than a 2017 laptop with a massive battery! I think this is a testament to apple's ability at making laptops, or maybe how little CPU technology has improved even 4+ years later (at least, until the recent introduction of 15W 4 core CPUs). Anyway, I'm never going to get a 35W CPU laptop again unless battery technology becomes ~5x better than as it is in 2018.

Apple knows how to make proper consumer-grade laptops (they don't know how to make pro laptops though). I guess this mostly software power efficiency related, but getting a mac makes perfect sense if you want a portable/powerful laptop that can do anything you want it to with great battery life.

You can totally install one.  AND the keys retract when you put it into tablet mode.  This is nutty.

Not bad, not bad at all. DDR3 is pretty ininfluential and this isn't really what you'd buy to play games a lot, so a 940m is adequate.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

I'm not really playing games on my laptop, a little light image manipulation, a little minecraft.  A lot of typing to denizens of the message boards such as this.

That actually looks nice, im assuming its a region constrained Laptop.

 

hope they'll do like for their phones and make it available in europe too, even if it means 100 or 200 euro more
