The COD launcher has a lot to do with it. Im playing warzone and then I get forced with B07 crap all day . I wouldn't doubt if they counting warzone count for b07. When did they actually start Cod launcher, After there first missed hit dropped?they covering there own bottom

It'll be pulled within weeks after the inevitable casualties.

Tesla, your liability doesn't extend to third parties.  You really want to be sued into oblivion by your own choice?

Das wird so nicht kommen. Es gab bereits ein Redesign mit dem iPhone 17. Apple
Macht keine Jubiläums iPhones. Das iPhone X war ein Smartphone das kommen musste. Apple war bereits ins Hintertreffen geraten und hat sogar das iPhone 9 übersprungen. Apple hätte mit dem alten Design deutliche Verluste erlitten wenn sie es so hätten weiterlaufen lassen. Apple könnte aber ein komplett Randloses Design haben wollen, das ist denke ich im normalen Verlauf auch vorgesehen. Übrigens gab es auch keine besondere Apple Watch, zum 10
Jährigen Jubiläum der Apple Watch. Auch hier wurde viel spekuliert und nichts ist so gekommen.

Das Gerät könnte in der 2ten oder 3ten Generation interessant werden. Jetzt würde ich es nicht kaufen. Es ist viel zu Groß und wirkt eher wie ein Gerät aus der 80ern.

Quote from: pelican-freeze on December 14, 2025, 14:48:36Are there any issues with the non-standard 3.2K resolution on a laptop intended for workstation use? I like the idea of a tandem OLED, but at 3.2K it seems like it might be more of a headache than anything else. At 1440p you get better battery life, cleaner application compatibility, and more flexibility for some light gaming, while at 3.2K you lose the battery life benefits of a lower resolution and risk app compatibility issues, without getting the content-consumption advantages of a proper 4K panel.

If the appeal of a tandem OLED workstation is being able to watch 4K HDR Netflix in your downtime, any sub‑4K display is still going to get the same 1080p stream (just like an iPad or Android tablet). To get true 4K HDR streaming you need a full 4K, HDCP 2.2‑compliant display; otherwise, you're capped at 1080p. So a 3.2k tandem OLED is objectively a poor solution for content consumption.

I'm interested in this laptop, but I'm concerned about weird interface scaling in professional apps that almost certainly haven't been tested for usability at 3200×2000. And having a tandem OLED that isn't suited for content consumption just feels like an awkward choice when Lenovo already offers such bright IPS panels - like with the 3.2k tandem OLED you get poor battery life and poor content consumption, but without a material increase in brightness to improve display visibility when in bright environments on the go since the P1 G8's 4k IPS panel option already offers 800 nits of SDR brightness. In practical SDR use the IPS panel is likely to be even brighter and offer even better visibility?

Like I'm a huge P1 / X1 Extreme fan and was excited about tandem OLED, but I can't figure out any use case where this 3.2k display makes sense since it appears to offer a big bag of frustrating compromises without any material benefits - bad for app compatibility, too high resolution for good battery life, too high for gaming, not high enough for good content consumption, no advantage over bright IPS option for outdoor use etc..

For those considering the P16 G3: you can configure CPUs/GPUs that, on paper, should scale to higher performance with more wattage, but the AC adapter is only 180W (vs. the P1 G8's 140W). That strongly suggests the P16 G3 chassis and power delivery are not designed to let parts like Intel HX CPUs or 5070 Ti/5080/5090‑class GPUs (RTX Pro 3000/4000/5000) run anywhere near their maximum performance. If your main interest in 5080/5090‑class GPUs is the extra NVENC encoders, the P16 G3 still looks great—much lighter and more compact than the P16 G2, with the tradeoff of lower cooling capacity, a smaller total power envelope, and reduced peak performance.

The only true 16‑inch performance workstation left this year is the Dell Pro Max 16 Plus (not Premium), since it ships with a 280W AC adapter and a much more performance‑oriented triple‑fan, vapor‑chamber cooling system. So if you care primarily about performance, the sweet spot is the Dell Pro Max 16 Plus with a 275HX (24 threads, fed full wattage) and a 5070 Ti‑class GPU (RTX 3000, at a full 175W), with the higher GPU tiers really only making sense for heavy video work. It's definitely not as compact as the P16 G3 and it's about a pound heavier once you factor in the adapter, but that seems like a very reasonable trade for the additional performance considering that there isn't really any competition at that mobile performance tier anymore.

Actually the 3.2K screen run @ 200% scaling will yield a better picture than 4K @ 250% scaling.

So far I've read zero complaints about watching 4k content on a 3.2k screen or anything like that. I guess someone with this laptop can chime in if they are unable to get a 4k stream because its a 3.2k screen. Everyone seems to love the 3.2k OLED screen.

As for the eGPU, it simply to get around the 8GB VRAM bottleneck without having to haul around something as large and heavy as the P16.

It's probably worth taking a moment to understand how 4k video streaming works. No mainstream streaming service will send a 4K video stream unless the device reports a 4K, HDCP 2.2 compliant display; anything below that gets a 1080p stream for DRM reasons.

The 3.2K panel will absolutely stream 1080p and may even get higher‑bitrate 1080p with HDR, but it cannot be served a true 4K stream. It simply isn't a 4K, HDCP 2.2 compliant display. That said 1080p on the 3.2k display can still be watchable - similar to how 1080p can look decent on a newer iPad Pro (another sub 4k tandem OLED panel) but it will never be actual 4K.

So with the P1 G8's display options you basically choose between:

• The 4K IPS panel, which can receive full 4K streams (4× the pixels) but has lower contrast and no real HDR.
• The 3.2K tandem OLED, with better blacks and true HDR but permanently capped at 1080p video from streaming services.

There's no workaround where a service sends 4K and you downscale it to 3.2K; the 3.2k display simply doesn't qualify for 4K streaming video playback under the DRM rules. You can, however, plug the P1 G8 with the 3.2K screen into an external 4K, HDCP 2.2–compliant monitor or TV and then stream full 4K on that external display.

Hopefully that makes sense.


EDIT: Disney+ is the one real outlier that I'm aware of here. Right now Disney+ doesn't serve 4K to PCs at all - no 4K in a browser and no 4K in the Windows app - 4K streams only get served to TVs and video streaming sticks.

So, since both the 3.2K tandem OLED and the 4K IPS panels would get the same 1080p stream from Disney+, that particular service will actually look better on the 3.2K tandem OLED thanks to its contrast and HDR. The only caveat is that Disney could change its platform policy at any time, because there's no technical reason preventing Disney+ from serving 4K video to the 4K IPS display in the future.
