      They have everything on their educational store, its just another way to get a discount. I don't think anyone here is actually suggesting that this is required for education.

    Having tested both( Lunar Lake and Ryzen AI 9) with similar sized chassis and battery capacity(over 70wH), there wasn't much difference in battery life when I used either of them for Office or Video playback. I was still able to get an average work days battery life out of both. The difference was about 3-4% on average for the Lunar Lake. However I did notice the AMD AI 9 was much smoother when multiple applications were running due to having a more powerful CPU.

        Looking at the video, in your link, he is using laptops from different manufacturers and a script to conduct the test in a lab. I just used the laptops from the same manufacturer in similar 14" chassis. Also I just used it like a normal person for the day (MS Outlook, Excel, Teams and Video playback) away from the office. There wasn't much difference between them over the day, maybe 30 mins to 1hr, for the Luna Lake.

    • toppingq on 13/10/2024 - 10:52

      Quite surprising, office and video playback isn't very taxing, so would expect negligible differences regarding multiple application performance.

    • HPdeskjet on 13/10/2024 - 15:22

      The specific Slim 7 (258V) in this post has 1020 mins runtime on nbc's Web testing, quite literally double the battery of the posted Yoga 14 Pro (AI 9 365) @ 520 mins.

      https://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-Core-Ultra-7-256V-perfor…

      https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-Yoga-Pro-7-14-G9-review…

      Every AMD generation since zen3+, we've lost about 20% battery on the Yoga Pro 14. No idea how they keep screwing it up, Identical battery and screen.

      780 mins ("7735hs" / 6900hs) -> 620 mins (7840hs) -> 520 mins (AI 9 365).

      https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1113860872771747890/1…

      Maybe the AI 9 365 laptop you tested had a much better implementation than on the yoga.

      The Vivobook 14 OLED with a AI 9 370HX lasts about 990 minutes, which is pretty close to the Lunar Lake 258V Model @ 1020 minutes.

      That's nearly double of the Yoga Pro 7 (AI 9 365) @ 520 mins in this post with what is a very similar CPU, so would point to implementation issues somewhere.

      • Kazusa on 13/10/2024 - 17:26

        Keep in mind the vivobook 14 hx370 is 1200p 60hz vs lunar lake which is 1800p 120hz, so still a huge lead given the screen resolution differential

        If you go to the notebook check review where the test the power consumption with external monitor, lunar lake massively beats the hx370 in power consumption again

        • HPdeskjet on 13/10/2024 - 21:00

          That would be where a lot of the battery life difference comes from, makes sense. Makes the AMD option look even worse then.

          To see the Lunar Lake SKU w/ comparable specs at nearly double the battery of the HX370 / AI 365 is extremely disappointing.

          Especially with how much of a downgrade the battery already got with 7940hs / 8940hs from 6800h / 6900hs,
          would have expected them to recover it a bit but its somehow gotten even more worse.

    I am looking for a laptop with low fan noise for music production (Ableton).

    Does anyone have experience with ASUS Vivobook S 16 OLED M5606WAI ?
    https://au.store.asus.com/asus-vivobook-s-16-oled-m5606wai-m…

    The specs and pricing of those laptops are similar but the larger screen of Asus makes it tempting for me as I can fit more tracks on my screen.

    Any recommendations or comments?

    • Look Up on 13/10/2024 - 13:52

      Wait for a deal on a Lenovo with Intel CPU and 16" IPS display

      Thunderbolt 4 is very handy for music production

      OLED is overkill for music production and depending on your workflow, the risks with burn in can be greater because DAW's are mainly static elements

      If you’re hammering the cpu you won’t get low fan noise

        I am a life-time Windows user. I won't bother learning a new OS, although everyone says Macs are great in music production :)

          It's worth noting the mac itself isn't any better. It's just more audio software runs on a Mac, and there is a bit more of a community.

          If you've got your daw/workflow set up on Windows, it won't really be any different.

  • Cheap Rich Guy on 13/10/2024 - 14:19

    Is the touchpad an easily replaceable part on Lenovo laptops? Have a 2 year-old Lenovo where the touchpad will stop working and Windows random menus popping up on the screen. Definitely not a driver issue as it happens in the BIOS and other OS.

      Go to the Lenovo website/support, you'll get a tech who'll try and fix it remotely, if they can't they'll give you a repair quote which probably won't be cheap, but it should give you all the info you need to get a price from your local repair shop.

    I would be careful of lenovo laptops.
    I bought one for $1.2k (aprox), and they tried to charge me around $800 (approx) for a screen repair.
    It seems 2k or 4k screens are standard, so a 2.8k screen repair may costs a ridiculous amount.
    They told me we have to bring the screen from overseas so it was expensive, so I said by buying it a seat on an airplane?
