    Strix Point my beloved.

    Core Ultras and SD can get tf outta here.

    • jlogic on 07/11/2024 - 10:09

      Depends on your use case.

      From memory there was a chart with Intel and Qualcomm on the ends and AMD in the middle.

      For the life of me I can’t seem to find that article/video. It was very well presented.

      But yes if you don’t need those edge cases then the AMD is the goto. Does a little bit of both Intel and Qualcomm but doesn’t outright lead.

      • On1 on 07/11/2024 - 13:16

        Basically saying, when it comes to thin & light laptops, go AMD, ignore Intel & Snapdragon, that's my two cents me thinks.

            @RaijnAU: Core Ultra 200 series laptops are better for general use than AMD's Strix Point. It provides considerably better battery life and better graphics performance but for heavier multi-threaded workloads, AMD's Strix Point laptops beat the Core Ultra 200 series considerably. So if you do a lot of photo editing, video editing, light rendering work etc, AMD's offering is better but for a person who's just looking to browse the web, watch Netflix, write and edit documents, Intel's Core Ultra 200 series is the best there is. And that's not to say that Intell's offering can't do photo, video, rendering work either. It can, it's just not AS good as AMD's Strix Point. For most people, Intel's offering is the better pick.

            • RaijnAU on 07/11/2024 - 22:03

              @Sanitygone: Thanks for the detailed response!

              My scenario is the standard use case plus coding and maybe the odd game if it'll get away with it.

              Chop up the odd 4k movie at most.

            • RaijnAU on 08/11/2024 - 15:16

              @Sanitygone: I'm debating the Intel for the bigger screen but it seems losing OLED is a big deal?

              Also, can anyone see the weight and dimensions of this laptop?

              • On1 on 08/11/2024 - 16:19

                @RaijnAU: I think if touchscreen and battery life is not important to you, than AMD and OLED is the choice for you.

                @RaijnAU: I'd recommend watching this video by Dave2D on the Intel laptop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STpFf-cdCSM

                The LCD screen on the Intel Laptop is already pretty great. The thing about OLED screens on laptops is that they reduce your battery life by 2-3 hours so personally, I'd go with the Intel offering considering that the screen is already great. However if you really do want the OLED experience, then go for the AMD option. The laptop is 1.46kg and is 13.9mm thin.

                According to Lenovo: Dimensions (W x D x H). 343.8 x 235.4 x 13.9 mm.

                  @Sanitygone: Thank you!!

                  That was a great video. I do enjoy a larger display with a light chassis so it seems like the best choice.

                  I'll decide whether to bite the bullet now or try for BF sales.

      love me some AMD, but I got my old man a snapdragon Surface Laptop as his workload is light and battery is a big factor for him. Can say he is quite satisfied.

    Own one, can vouch for it.
    Great unit.

    • scud70 on 07/11/2024 - 10:31

      How are you finding the battery life for general day to day ?

      • kostaslala on 07/11/2024 - 10:53

        would love to know as well!

      • HHH-888 on 07/11/2024 - 11:24

        Use it mostly hooked in to a docking station or directly into a monitor via usbc, and I turn it off at the end of the day.
        Very rarely on battery, so can't really comment on the battery life, but performance wise it is A+, can handle 500k rows of excel, multiple heavy duty applications.
        The build is great, the screen is gorgeous.
        And I got it from the JBHIFI price error - ~1.6k mark.
        Even at 1.8k, it is a good buy.

            @scud70: Actually, I'm one of the ones who was able to price beat the price error, I got it for $1614 from Officeworks, used discounted GCs and Flybuy Dollars.
            For the price, I think I got a great deal :)

              @HHH-888: you sure did… yeh i assumed it was price match thing otherwise all of the JB ones got cancelled… was hoping to get some real user info on the battery because the reviews have it worse than som Ai 9 370 laptops which doesn't make sense (similar battery size and OLED) … so was wondering if Lenovo messed something up with the power management.

              Anyway thanks for the feedback :)

    • RaijnAU on 07/11/2024 - 15:52

      Is this a solid bargain for this size and spec machine? I'm wondering whether I bite the bullet or hold out.

      • HHH-888 on 07/11/2024 - 18:14

        It’s a good unit, at this price point it is as good as it gets in the windows os.

      • pankbiet on 08/11/2024 - 07:26

        Stay away from all Yoga. They have the hinge issue. Google for it. Essentially the laptop breaks apart at the hinges. Lenovo knows this but has not done anything about it.

    • Kazusa on 07/11/2024 - 10:55

      This one will have quite notably worse battery life, but I guess it depends on if you like windows or Mac in the end

      • kostaslala on 07/11/2024 - 11:02

        I am quite used to windows but I think I can tolerate MacOS, a bad battery life would be a pretty annoying thing to deal with though.

        • shiny1 on 07/11/2024 - 11:19

          Maybe wait for lunar Lake laptops to become more mainstream and cheaper if you can wait. I'm personally waiting for a 268v 2 in 1 with an oled screen. Don't mind if it's 60hz.

        • heef on 07/11/2024 - 16:36

          Keep the air. I made the jump from a Lenovo Yoga7i 15" (i7 1165G7) to a 15" M2, and it's fantastic. You get used to macOS pretty quickly. The grass is certainly greener (for the most part).

      The MacBook would be better for study I presume, although more RAM in these so if you multi task with multiple PDFs, a bunch of browser tabs and Photoshop or something then you would be better off with this?

    • Brakus on 07/11/2024 - 11:32

      Most important is app compatibility. if you don't need any apps that runs on windows only or offered for free on windows only, then Mac should be OK.

    • pankbiet on 08/11/2024 - 07:28

      Yoga laptops suffer from hinge issue. The laptop hinges break within few years. Google for it.
      Macbook Air is much better.

  • Jj10 on 07/11/2024 - 10:57

    • incipient on 07/11/2024 - 11:06
      +1

      They're a completely different OS. So very few people would generally be considering both.

      Otherwise the answer depends entirely on which M chip you're considering. The base one is less powerful but a more efficient. The higher end ones are more powerful but I'm not sure if they're more efficient. And they're more expensive.

      • Kazusa on 07/11/2024 - 11:07

        The base m4 is noticeably faster in single core and multi core compared to the ai365

      Compared to base m4 mbp which is roughly the same price on edu store
      +more ram/storage
      +app compatibility (including games)

      -worse single core/multicore performance compared to m4
      -worse battery life
      -worse gpu than the m4

      The debatable ones:
      Mini led vs oled
      macOS vs windows

      Sowing the seeds of confusion. They want you to think everything is new, and not compare on speed.

      Dunno who is worse - AMD for rebranding their old Zen3 cores in mobile with numbers that make them look like a new product. Or Intel, for rebranding their Atom line as "E" cores.

      • FabMan on 07/11/2024 - 12:12

        I think Intel is worse because they had a naming convention I could understand and they ruined it, AMD hasn't had one to date that I fully understood or want too.

    Maybe the battery life isn’t as good on this, even the aura 7i seems to have a bit better and is called out great for video editing - but hoping this is a good purchase for another 3 years
