Title: Cooling system of the Lenovo ThinkPad E15 is overtaxed with AMD Radeon RX 640
Post by: Redaktion on March 22, 2020, 18:29:51
The Lenovo ThinkPad E15 does not only get extremely hot in our review, it also suffers from throttling. An overall problematic situation that makes us question the purpose of the AMD GPU in here.

Possible sabotage by Lenovo themselves on behalf of intel and/or Nvidia, to diminish demand by the consumer/companies for AMD GPU's and/or any AMD equipped thinkpad?

Lenovo's never tried to design decent coolers for the E or T series of laptops (outside of "p" suffix variants). This is hardly surprising.

Lenovo should step up on their cooling system design, they should not sabotage the good works of AMD or Intel. They have more of problematic systems in trade

When last has Lenovo released an E*p or T*p model? Those models in wee thicker and heavier and included the ability to easily change/swap components. That tide has long past as everything is being soldered and miniaturised nowadays
