so i notice majority written and youtube videos saying that the new 10th gen cpu for ultrabooks are rubbish in performance. Most test states the old 8th gen 8565u is way better lol. From what i can see probably sacrifice performance and better battery life for the 10th gen

luckily i didnt wait.

Cannot hear ppl say.
The YouTuber should compare both.
Some only get either one and wroted like rubbish

Higher clocks Comet lake definitely beats Whiskey lake... with slightly more added benefits...

Ice lake losses in most....except from Graphics/AI related processing...mainly these processors are clocked lower with the new 10nm.... But they consume less power....

One of the videos i watched.

Just got my zendure super tank . It is a external powerbank capapable of 100W PD charging. There is also two usb and another usb c pd charging at 60W

I just try 100W pd charging and looks like it works on x1c7

Vantage say 1 hour to full charge but windows say 15min
but doesnt matter because i turn on charge threshold

Following up for you with a bit more info. Called Lenovo technical support (1800-818-478) and asked on issues pertaining to warranty support for systems running Linux. They said that all Lenovo authorized technicians should have their own diagnostic bootable tool (I'm assuming a USB pendrive) that can be run regardless of installed OS.

They said the mandated protocol is usually to run the hardware diagnostic in the BIOS option first, and if that fails to detect the issue, they will run the bootable tool. Sometimes they might instruct users to go to a certain support page to download the diagnostic tool and create the bootable media themselves.

I did some searching, and it seems this is the latest version of the Lenovo Linux Diagnostics Tool;
https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/DS025448
You can try it if you want. Make sure to go through the README.txt file. Seems to be an ISO file, so maybe you'll need to use genisoimage/geteltorito to create a .img first before you can dd to your USB pendrive, or just use your preferred graphical app.

Here's an overview of the open source software used to host the bootable Diagnostics Tool;
https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/lenovodi...ools/opensource
Looks like it's just you regular Debian live image with Lenovo's proprietary hardware diagnostic application (not listed) included. So basically, even the technician will be using a Linux live session to troubleshoot your hardware whether you're on Windows or Linux, so they cannot say anything about users installing Linux themselves.

Hope this helps. Cheers.

P.S - If you're the really meticulous type, you can call the same technical support while using a phone-call recording app to record the conversation. That way you can save the audio file and use it as proof in case Lenovo disputes your warranty claim in future.

Problem resolved after updated BIOS to 1.22 version. So far no repeated problem

Hi, wanna asking , your X1 C7 fully charged can last how many hours?
I mean for normal usage only

I think it can last around 6-7 hours. Now left with 60% / 4 hour 30 min.

Battery life on x1c7 depends on the screen.

1080p can use easily half day usage.

4k hdr is beautiful but sacrifice battery life average around 4-5 hours. With my powerbank with me shouldn't be a problem for 8 hours use.

Did you get yours yet?

can anyone tell me what's the difference between 65W and 45W for the configuration? if i pick 65w does that mean that i cant charge my laptop with 45w chargers?

Higher Amp can do faster charging for your laptop.

Just received today.

does that mean the 65W is the obvious choice? it's only a rm4 difference hm

Haha 😂 they want u to play around with their customisation

Still can, just 65W is like smartphone fast charging, you can charge your laptop 80% in one hour.
45W is just slower charging.

Always go with 65W if you can. Even the price of the 65W charger if buy alone is more expensive compared to 45W.

11.11 sales has started on Lenovo's website for those interested.
Both X395 and T495 are getting >RM2k discount.
