Hi there,
Kicking myself I hesitated on the Legion 5i as it seemed great value for money https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/622697 but thats in the past.
Basically looking for a 15' business laptop, not fussed on graphics card as don't think I'll game on it and have a 3080 in the PC.
Thanks in advance for the suggestions.
The ThinkPad T15 Gen 2 had me until its a soldered 8GB ram suprised the i5 outshines the i7's I've been looking at too. https://nanoreview.net/en/cpu-compare/intel-core-i7-10750h-v… //just realised you can upgrade to 16GB for extra $90 but then ships within 10-12 wks bugga.
The i5 is more power efficient and better single core performance because it's the latest generatiaon but the last gen i7 kills it in multi-core applications
just curious, why when you overclock the cpu the overclock speed is only on one core?
I did look at these but "SOLD OUT - UNAVAILABLE" with no ETA.
I'd have a look at some of the other models. The edge is just an example. I've got a https://www.metabox.com.au/store/Alpha-X-Range for my personal machine which I use for tech/web dev stuff.
