so you basically have no tb4 hardware, but already need tb5, okay

Quote from: NikoB on February 25, 2024, 20:25:32So my choice was right in 2018

nope its s*** even for 2018

It is 2018, which in its profile has maximum performance and operates under pulsed loads 100% silently (coolers off), something that no modern "gaming" laptop can boast of. Even the Dell G series, although as the authors has already written here in newest reviews, they are still head and shoulders above in this regard. =)

So my choice was right in 2018. If it weren't for the lousy flat G series keyboards and their rapid failure. Alas, it was impossible to predict this at that moment.

If I saw something like this with 18" 4k@120-144Hz 16:10 1500:1+ in 2023-2024 models with an ideal full-fledged keyboard with long travel and elastic tactile feedback, I would immediately buy it. But such a model is just not on the market, to my regret. And I don't care at all about discrete cards. I essentially don't need more than 4050. And it's also not needed if the RAM bandwidth exceeds 150GB/s for igpu.

Almost certainly none as he has a large and heavy laptop with 1080p 15.6" screen; 57% sRGB, 220 nits, 141 PPI, and TB3:

Quotelarge and heavy even for its size category

)))))))
Author, this is just funny. Compare this runt to my Dell G5 5587 15.6" - 2.83 kg and almost 17" body dimensions. This is a truly quiet machine!

i still don't get why you need tb5
you've already bought 8k display for $5k and just need something to plug it into?

Progress begins when it can be developed on something. If there is no base, there is no periphery to it, mass and cheap. Just like when there are no 8K ports on PCs/laptops, there haven't been 8K monitors for 10 years, although discrete AMD/NVidia cards have been ready to work with them at the computing level (in 2D for best ppi on 27-32" in text and graphic) since 2014. But the DP2.0 standard was released only in the summer of 2019 and 5 years later shame - still no discrete cards and igpu with it?

It will be about the same with TB5, if you don't install it in all laptops, without exception.

why do you need it, you already bought all the expensive tb4 hardware? ready for x2 prices?

So where are they in the "2024" models?

Where is the promised Intel TB5 in 2024? in 14's series SoC!
