We are offered to pay $3000.
What do they offer for this rather high price?
1. A mediocre screen with average color rendering, low ppi, low contrast, poor response time, and if you believe the author, he couldn't even calibrate it to dE<2, which is simply an extraordinary event for an IPS panel!
For this price and with this weight, we expect at least 17" 16:10 with a 4k IPS panel, with 95%+ AdobeRGB (with a perfectly working sRGB profile, which affects the entire software and system in Windows, and not partially - this is the manufacturer's problem, and not the client, i.e. who do not know how to work with the Windows color management system and think that they are drawing a picture in the sRGB color space) with a native contrast of 2000: 1+ and 36 bit color. This is a professional series, right?
2. Neither Lenovo in psref nor the author clearly wrote whether the laptop supports double-sided SSDs. This is only indirectly understood by the supported capacity. But this must always be researched and written EXPLICITLY, author.
The author himself wrote that this model is completely inferior to its classmate in terms of disk system, and this is disappointing. But the author again OBVIOUSLY did not write what the problem is with the lack of 4 M.2 2280 slots - a professional will NOT be able to make a fault-tolerant RAID10, and this is extremely critical, especially for SSD drives!
3. An outdated Intel processor consumes a monstrous 80W in PL1 but works like a 7940HS. There should only be the 7945HX, which is 2 times faster and nothing else.
4. Memory optimized is disgusting. Lenovo, why install 5600 modules if the efficiency of the memory controller is terrible - a shameful 63% of the theoretical peak of 89.6GB/s.
5. The reader is slow, it should be in a professional model, at least 2 times faster.
6. The lack of 5-10Gbps RJ45 with a lot of space in the back is just a shame. It immediately becomes clear that this is NOT a professional model.
7. A video card for $3000 is simply shamefully slow - there should be a card no weaker than 4080.
8. In the absence of RJ45, there is a shameful outdated AX211 Wi-Fi, and not BE200+ (Wi-Fi 7) from Intel.
9. The noise is too loud even at rest! Lenovo, how did you manage to make such a mediocre cooling system with such a monstrous weight of almost 3 kg (this is even more than my Dell G5 5587, which does not turn on the coolers in the "maximum performance" profile for hours)?
10. The temperature at the keyboard level is dangerous 47C+. Which can potentially damage the screen when running under heavy load with the screen cover closed (or nearly closed).
The question is who is the target audience for this garbage. Massively? I don't understand. The disadvantages are too strong.
As usual, Lenovo will reduce the price by 35-50% on sales and then buyers need to decide for themselves whether it is worth $1400-1700. I wouldn't pay more for it considering the shortcomings.
