Where can I get the Dolby Atmos app ? Is it free for this laptop ?
I didn't have it installed on my new Carbon 7th gen  and when checking the Mcrsft Store , I can only download trial version.

Thanks,

Any updates on battery life on a model with the FHD low-power screen?

So I have used my Gen 7 for about two weeks now after returning a faulty Gen 6 unit. The device is basically the same, so overall a good unit, however the imperceptible decrease in weight and thickness has come at a proportionally large cost to the keyboard. while not being terrible, I would say the keyboard is now much less of a reason to choose this laptop over competitors. If lenovo could have fixed the issues with my G6 I would prefer to stay with it for the input devices.

I'd like to use this laptop, or maybe the X1Y4, as a desktop replacement that can also be taken on the go. Would the fluctuations seen in Cinebench R15 be of concern if the laptop were to be used for extended periods of time and plugged in? I wouldn't want to cause damage to the CPU by running it for hours if it's bursting then limiting itself due to heat. Would Intel XTU or ThrottleStop be of any use for this?

Thanks in advance!

I'm looking forward to the upcoming Linux review - thank you in advance for this!

How can you install xtu on 8665U platform? My latitude 7200 2in1 with the sku cannot support xtu。

lenovo, in general, means
-best design
-best keyboard
-lowest noise
but man i cant stand 16/9 in a small sized laptops and at this pricepoint
this combo is straight up dumb

Pease review the 400 nits screen. I'd like to know if PWM is present.

t480s with i5 still the fastest. 700 points sustained load.

Fantastic to have some reliable information on this unit, when can we expect the full review?

Can anyone comment on the trackpad compared to the 6th Gen? I have read they moved to an elan from a synaptic trackpad.Bad trackpad would be a near deal-breaker for me, especially with a worse feeling keyboard as well.

Would the trackpad be interchangeable with the 6th gen trackpad? possible to swap?

Bad decisions here to hit battery life by 10% to fit subwoofers in. Placing the speakers on top would have been enough to address the issue with sound. surely nobody expects amazing sound from a device like this. . .

Also, messing with the keyboard again for an imperceptible reduction in weight and thickness is a really annoying choice and seems insane to me, especially when the device must already be thin and light enough for 99.9% of users.

I would buy a t480/s or t490/s which is obviously where they expect someone with my preferences to go, except that the X1 seems to be the only unit that has the WQHD matte display (which is excellent) and thinkshutter in my region!! can't have it all  ;D

Yes, but I do reckon that being a network engineer may be an influencing factor. A major upgrade such as Wi-Fi 6 is much more important (to me) than better speaker (I use Audio Technica heaphones 99.99% of the time) or a 4K screen (WQHD is already more than enough to write code at 14").

Great machines like this should not be hindered by a part that costs less than 20 euros... Besides, offloading the computer after 4-5 years to a family member does *not* ease my pain of having to manage it.

is that seriously something you would do? with the lifespan of these machines 4-5 years as a primary and then you move it onto someone who uses it as a secondary "holiday" machine, swapping the wifi doesn't make much sense to me...

on the other hand having exponentially better sound a slightly lower weight - or for someone this might be the 4k screen - seems like something you can enjoy every day. Not to mention X1C7 is cheaper in Europe than X1C6 was and therefore you can get i.e. double the SSD for similar amount of money...

Of course everyone has his/her own priorities

In turn, the 6th gen allows upgrading the Wi-Fi card to Wi-Fi 6 (ax), while you'll be stuck to whatever is soldered from factory in the 7th gen. That alone in making me switch to the AMD machines, which still have replaceable Wi-Fi cards -- but are yet to have TB3. Once USB 4 becomes a thing the portable AMDs will truly become a force to be reckoned with, until then the Intels that still allow to replace the Wi-Fi card are likely the best option.

Is the battery glued in? Is it user replaceable?

Not glued in, you can easily replace it by unscrewing the bottom (and then unscrewing the battery). Parts are also readily available from Lenovo, so no issues there.
