Thinkpad range is solid and long lasting but its battery is way too small (only 47Wh). You would expect this model has only 4-5 hours and…

I received mine today and surprisingly it did not come in original sealed Lenovo laptop cardboard box. I was wondering if it was used or…

Just received mine today via DHL. The screen is non-Touch and is glossy panel.

I ordered the "NEW" one over the long weekend and it was shipped yesterday via DHL Express. I am sure I will receive it today very soon.…

I think you are unrealistically asking too much from Ryzen 5. Personally I am pursuing great display + excellent power efficiency over the…

You are talking about something from 5 years ago when CPU makers did not care about laptop power efficiency.

They could have avoided the issue but Acer is a budget brand with less sophisticated product design.

Personally I would avoid Acer as it is always a cut-price budget brand using cut-cost material.

There is a Lenovo Education store too but normally Outlet has the lowest price for surplus or clearance stock. Just keep checking now and…

This is from Lenovo Outlet and great value as it is NOT refurbished (marked as "NEW"). Yoga Slim 7i features premium build (metal chassis…

You do not need a 1000-pages academic article to prove that. It is common-sense and the core issue of Nissan Leaf is its stone-age battery…

DO NOT buy because of one vital reason: Nissan Leaf battery does not have liquid cooling system which is already common in most EVs now.…

This is insane and I never know this Amazon practice. Does it mean Amazon's review is not trustworthy at all?!

I forgot to mention: My monitor is LG 27UP850-W (27" 4K resolution). My setting was: 4K youtube video on a 4K UHD monitor via display port…

I owned a refurbished 7060 (i5-8500T) w/ single stick 8GB RAM and yes it struggled with 4K with lots of dropped frames.... BUT then it…
