Duh, you’re comparing one almost getting succeeded product (Picasso) to a newly launched (Intel 10th gen IceLake).

Wait next year 7nm Ryzen3 mobile is out first and support faster RAM speed, you will think why do we still so bebal paying extra for Inhell.

Next year we'll see... important is we consumer get better performance at lower price.

doesn't matter.
at the end of the day, it's price/performance.

of course, when going premium like a Surface or Carbon X1, you'd be stupid to go for AMD option la,
but low end options like Intel i3 at RM1700 or R3 at the same price, you'd be hard pressed to get the i3 with CPU just as slow, but no better iGPU

If T495 vs T490, which one better?

t495 like RM1k cheaper than t490
of coz i pick t495.

Unless you need the thunderbolt port, there’s totally no reason to get T490 over T495 unless somehow you got it cheaper or for free.

Ideapad L340 got two versions, the normal ideapad and the L340 Gaming. Which is yours?

I think my screen was 300 nits and it felt too dim even at max settings, when I am outdoor. 250 nits you will struggle a little more than me. Keep it indoors and you are ok I think.

i think is normal Ideapad L340-15API, .. model: 81LW.. it's Ryzen 5,..

I thought they’re suppose to be the same?

M2 is previously known as NGFF, it’s the form factor of the small card sized stick

NVME is the standard, as compared to the legacy SATA or mSATA.

Specs wise the laptop should be running NVME card. But I not quite sure if the pins key will affect it or not here, didn’t take note on that when I open up mine.

P/S: I’m correct in that sense, m2 is the form factor. The SATA one is the one having extra key hole on the pins, according to the video you posted.

according to the video NVMe is faster read/write speed than M.2,.. 2100+MB/s for NVMe,.. 550MB/s for M.2,... i suppose NVMe would be more pricey,..
