I choose to "hibernate" instead of shutdown. Saves battery and it saves the state. It's like "sleep" but since my SSD is super fast anyway

Perhaps I will start using standby soon. But these habbits came from using older and used thinkpads, where the battery would drain quite quickly even when on stand by. can lose about 10% over night. I found hibernating with SSD to be a great solution.

Yeh, i used vantage to upgrade all the drvers including bios (i think?). I just clicked yes to all. they did some reboots, and I allowed it to.

Nice! I was considering t480s too, for the same price to mine (RM4750) i could get 512gb vs an MX150. I chose the lighter one.

I dont use dgpu (dont game) so it was a rather simple choice for me. Not sure how bad the speaker on cx1 is without comparing it to your, but i enjoyed watching some netflix vids on it

hey bro,

how is the mouse? I need a dongle-less bluetooth mouse too. Yours is on the pricier side, but is it worth it?

I am looking at all these BT mice from logitech and wonder if they are good deals

I agree, will give them all a try, and if prices are low enough will just give back to them and buy from the shops.

I have decided to buy this bad boy: https://www.lazada.com.my/products/free-shi...vDDxsb&search=1

RM180. Bluetooth. Multiple device pairing (dont really need it tho).



Its great!

45W (or something) as stated on vantage not hot at all

Looks like a mini desktop. At that point, other than the seamless integration with your current workstation (the laptop), I do not see the appeal of an eGPU.

I will stick with my desktop for the time being, for gaming if any (not that much gaming). Plus the desktop is more easily upgradable. Although I checked benchmarks (CPUz benchmark) and found that my i5-8250u is more powerful than my Xeon 1270 v3. Both have 4 cores and HT (8 threads) and the i5 is faster despite having only 15W TDP


Using windows? are you using "full performance" as your power plan. Can you choose "balanced" or "power saver" and report back?

I checked on CPUz and it can track the frequency "live", and I can see the multiplier reduced when the CPU is "idle" when on plans other than "full performance"

Give it a shot

I am looking at Lenovo Malaysia site and the Carbon X16 is still priced the same as what I bought for 1 month ago. Stable price so far. Will keep this notebook for a few years I guess.

Battery life about8 hours, kinda short, but acceptable. Too long it would need to be heavier.

PD is heavy. Id rather just carry a PD adaptor. as long as it is light

Btw, how do I go about undervolting the CPU?

Done. I think I followed your guide to the letter. We will see how it goes from here.

Btw, do I need to keep Throttle Stop running after I've "saved" it? Do I need to loan it up after each restart?

I need help

I always have a logitech RF receiver attached to my USB port on my X1C6. When I close the lid the pc will go to sleep/hybrid, but if I move the mouse the pc will be turned on even if the lid is closed.

I dont want to always have to turn my mouse off, I might forget about it sometimes.

ANy way to disable "wake from sleep" except for:

1. opening the lid
2. pressing the power button

Thanks in advance

Thanks, but I cannot find the "power management" tab in ALL of my mouse and keyboard entries in the device manager.

ive done this before on other PCs, not sure why this X1C6 can't do this anymore...
