    How many displays and what resolution you can run at. If it's just the single, there is no difference. But if you get a dock and multiples then band width limitations comes in.

        Yeah, if you just uses the usb c display port, hdmi, and laptop screen, then there won't be any issues.
        
        But I am more referring to connecting multiple just though the usb c. This is where the thunderbolt difference is. Thunderbolt docks can easily support the multiple displays. Where as usb C based dock uses display link. Fine for productivity work, but video and gaming? Not so much. It also places load on the cpu.

  - Jimbuscus on 12/12/2021 - 22:19
    
    That iGPU is a smaller RX5000 GPU, it can handle some games at 120fps depending on the settings etc.
    - Viper8 on 12/12/2021 - 23:38
      
      I know what it is. It's inferior to a rubbish MX250 or GTX750.
      
      Some games being CS on low at 1080p?
      
      I get that it's great for an iGPU. Hell, I bought one. But 120Hz: really?
      - Jimbuscus on 13/12/2021 - 00:02
        
        @Viper8: It's not necessary and you will be using 60Hz most of the time, but the option is good when you are playing CSGO or Valorant which the Radeon7 Cezanne iGPU can do at 120fps.

    Beyond the dGPU the Dell lacks a lot of features that this laptop has got.
    
    Lower quality screen (1080p, low brightness, not 100% sRGB vs QHD, 350nits, 100% sRGB of the Lenovo)
    USB is limited to 5Gbps due to being Gen 1, VS 10Gbps Gen 2 of the Lenovo
    Lower quality chassis (All plastic vs all aluminium)
    Lower capacity battery (51wH vs 71+wH)
    Is heaver at 2.5kg vs 1.9kg
    
    You can also adjust the TDP of the 5600h on the Lenovo between battery saving, balanced and performance.

This might be a silly question but, is there a huge difference between the 2560 x 1600 resolution compared to a 1080 resolution?

I game on the 1080 laptop and will only be using this for productivity. Will I notice a huge difference when I game/watch videos on my 1080p laptop?

        It could be weaker CPU, ram, screen but they cut the cost somewhere to sell a laptop with a GPU around the price range.

        @[Deactivated]: My Dell G15 had single stick of 8gb-3200mhz, cost $40 for a second stick via Amazon.
        
        The main issue with the Dell is the storage, not only is it 256gb (218gb usable) in a device intended to have game files on it, but you have to pay after market to unlock the second NVMe slot as they created a removable unit that screws into it so they could leave it out. I paid $42 to get a cheaper third party option from Amazon.
        
        $980 ended up being $1120 for +8GB RAM & +500GB NVMe upgrade, that's with finding the cheapest deals possible.
        
        Still worthwile for the 3050/5600H, but not a fan of the design or build quality.

As a uni student with a couple more years (2-3ish) to go, should I invest more $$ into a higher quality machine that will likely retain value better (eg. Macbook, ThinkPad, Yoga, XPS) or is this too great bang for buck to pass up on?
- affinity on 12/12/2021 - 21:39
  
  +4
  
  It depends on whether or not you think the "hold value" is going to hold true and be fair. I think this one is about $600 under priced, so a clear bargain. Keeping those extra dollars, who knows what kind of deal you can get later. It is debatable how much value an older Macbook or XPS will have, perhaps better longer term "real" value in a ThinkPad, but it might not translate to that down the track. The forever sales will mean that there will always be something available at a good price and perhaps a generation or two down the track, the products will be so much better all round. So I say, get this now, enjoy it, look after it and hold off a next purchase as long as possible or until there is a really good deal that you can't pass up. People spend more on mobiles than this laptop's price today.

Dang this thing is heavy! No power so charging it up now, it feels really solid though.

  compared to what though? what were you using before this? I think it would be ideal in a docked scenario.

  An extra 500g on most other Ultrabooks? Lift some weights.

Received an update about delivery today. I thought it was a price error but turns out to be a very good deal.

Anyone know if the iGPU is capable of outputting >=120HZ to an external monitor in say 1080p and/or 1440p?

Not for any fancy gaming, just want to pair it with my Dell 1440p@120-165hz if possible.
