Completely different type of mask, despite the P2 rating. Cup-style masks (vs trifold) typically don't fit very well = poor seal. Probably…

@Francis82 - nice, the Flex was on the list of laptops I was looking at as well, and I was looking at 10th gen i5 options too. Hope you…

The XE MAX dGPU has dedicated 4GB VRAM. But there are other problems (driver-related) that really pull it down at this time.
28/03/2021 - 13:48
Don't bet on the XE MAX being a good dGPU option (compared to AMD SOCs or just the plain XE iGPU) - drivers are NOT mature, and it doesn't…
28/03/2021 - 13:30
@Francis82 - perhaps ACER Swift 3 11th gen (not the 3x - i.e. drop the XE MAX graphics). In the $1000 price bracket, it's pretty hard to go…

Not a great deal of change. I would say XE and XE Max drivers are still not mature/optimised - see…
