Che0063 on Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5 14" AMD AI 350, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, 2.8K 120Hz OLED $1455.23 Delivered @ Lenovo AU Education

It depends on the laptop reviewed. The AI 350 in most reviews that have come out is running at a lower TDP than the 8845H. The trade off is…

Freestyle on Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5 14" AMD AI 350, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, 2.8K 120Hz OLED $1455.23 Delivered @ Lenovo AU Education

The only issue is that the Intel Lunar Lake laptops lack Hyper Threading so perform worse than these AMD CPUs. You really notice the…

The Intel Ultra 7 265 would be the bottleneck. Put an AMD Ryzen 9800X3D in there and it would be a viable product. Otherwise it's a waste…

288v overpriced for what it is. If you really wanted to go the Intel route, rather save money and get a 256v or 268v. Rather get a Ryzen…

Yes the 155H can be very power hungry with a MAX TDP of up to 64w. If the cooling can't keep up it can create issues. Hence probably why…

Depends on the game, because you also need to take into consideration that Radeon has better driver support than Intel at the moment.
