- strmpnk 7y agoIt's interesting to see they mention that the FHD display option supports FreeSync and that the HDMI port is at the 2.0 spec. I look forward to seeing reviews hit soon to see if anyone takes notice.
- theamk 7y agoThis laptop: 16GB RAM max, AMD Ryzen™ 7 PRO 3700U (Passmark 8897, 1862/thread [1]) Thinkpad X1 carbon 2017 model: 16GB RAM max, Intel Core i7-7600U 2.80GHz (Passmark 8301, 2141/thread [2]) Those laptops are not identical, and I am sure that each of them has its own best use case. I am not trying to say that the new laptop is bad, I just want to lament the fact that the CPU speed no longer grows. My C++ programs take way too long to compile!

- javipas 7y agoNot necessarily if you appreciate battery life, that resolution should help at that. It seems it arrives in early june with a starting price of $1,089 [1]. If that corresponds to the 768p screen it certainly is quite expensive.

- equalunique 7y agoIf I hadn't just purchased a for-parts T460s & everything else necessary to cobble together a functioning machine, then this would be my first choice. I'm resolved to no longer purchase new Intel machines going into the future, so Ryzen, ARM, RISC-V, & POWER machines are what I'm watching closely.
