This shows that Lenovo messed up big time with tuning power limits. An unsuspecting layman would equate U-CPU (10-15W sustained) to have longer battery life and P-CPU (30W sustained) to provide more multi-threaded boost when needed while being less power efficient.
Imagine ordering a bunch of $2000+ 4K OLED X1 Carbons with 1265U chip for your top employees who need long runtimes on the go, only to realize that battery caps out at ~3 hours max.
Imagine, there are good experts sitting there who have the right to purchase any model for testing. So no one will buy anything, not knowing exactly what they are dealing with (unless, of course, these employees are on the rollback from manufacturers, which most often happens).
It's us, ordinary people, who get out as best we can, well, except for multimillionaires who can simply buy the entire latest lineup at one time, and then sell what they don't need at a discount. ;)
Medium and large companies buying in bulk do not have this problem. How naive...
