k well for us non autists can you ball park it?
/tpg/ - ThinkPad General
150~200 USD for the I5 and around 250 for the I7.
What time of the year does Lenovo refresh?
Also, I thought the difference between the P5s and the P7s was that P5s were 15" and P7s were 17" - at least, I couldn't find any 17" P5s or 15" P7s on their website.
Oh right, i got my series confused, is the pX0 vs pX1.
I think they do a yearly refresh but i can't find the release date for the newer models.
Yeah, I've had issues finding those dates as well.
Currently I'm trying to decide between X1 Carbons, XPS15 2-in-1, Spectre x360 2-in-1, and possibly a P51/52.
The thing that kills me more than anything on the P51/52 is how heavy they are - getting everything I want for $2600 is definitely in range, but 6+ pounds is kind of hard when I travel as much as I do.
The carbons are nice, posting from a 3rd gen right now, but you're limited to soldered ram and M.2 SSD only with integrated graphics.
The problem with workstation class laptops is that they provide enough cooling to avoid throttling the CPU and GPU thus the heavy weight.
Soldered RAM is fine since I don't mind paying Lenovo's prices. The GPU problem is as you say, though; ideally I'd like a ~3-4ish pound laptop with a lower-end gfx card.
How good are Intel's integrated graphics nowadays? Can they push 2x 4k display (internal+external) with normal usage?
vPro's are very decent, they can handle any DE on 4k, dunno about 2x 4k but it can handle CS:Go, stellaris, civ5 and some other light games at 1080p.
big guy or tiny computer?
