Proliferation on Lenovo ThinkPad E14 - AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS 16GB RAM 512GB SSD $799.20 ($779.22 eBay Plus) Delivered @ Lenovo eBay Store

This is realistically for those who want the 3090 specifically, e.g. for vram capacity. This deal isn't bad for that, given the inflated…

We obviously pissed off the downvote brigade lol. The tribalism and lack of critical thinking around this stuff always surprises me.

Yeah, if you expect to lean heavily on DLSS and/or CUDA features obviously that more or less makes your decision for you. It just annoys me…
