just my review

i went to lenovo shop looking to get a thinkpad but sales ppl convincend me to get this instead.

around 5k, Core Ultra 7 155H processor 32 gb ram 1tb storage

i used this for 6 months. very much regret it.

1) no real sleep function. The sleep it has is not real sleep. I can tell because my other laptop when you sleep it goes cool, this one, even after sleep its still running hot
2) hot like fuck, i burnt my finger more than once trying to hold it. you can literally fry an egg on it when its running hot.
3) when it gets too hot it will throttle your performance, making it suddenly lag . which means there is only 1 way to put it, up right so the heat can disippate easily.

anyone here can corroborate if their experience is the same?

1. Is it the power management there no put close lid = sleep?

2. Cut cost no fans?

3. Must put external fan to cool it down?

Slim if you prioritize portability and light usage.
Other than that thinkpad FTW.

As for your heat problem, try adjusting the power plan to low performance / better battery life.
Also turn off the processor boost mode.

Honestly its not designed for heavy usage.

No fan not because of cut cost but because of portability.

every year change motherboard failure, i trade in for asus asfter 2nd motherboard failure, even the onsite repair was great and prompt but i cant bear with the downtime and the future if warranty expired. hate the side power button, easily accidntal touch.

Har? Still got ppl consider CISC?

i chatgpt already, that model mmg dont have the kind of sleep other laptop have. even if click start -> sleep, its not really the sleep like other laptop

kena con by sales ppl.... i also dunno what kind of jampi i kena because i went to the shop with a very clear intention to buy THINKPAD, walk out with something else pulak

OH THIS TOO. i forgot to add this

so fcking many times i accidentally click it when holding

Yeah i understand what you went through.
Never again for me.
Once i do my research and set my mind in it, no salesperson can change my mind anymore.

I found out long time ago they push the sales for their own interest and not the customers.

the kind of sleep this laptop has is actually fake sleep

it doesnt have the kind of deep sleep other desktop / laptp uses

Ok. got it. thanks for the info.

understand your feeling bro. even microsoft is no doing a good job, their surface pro 11 with snapdragon really gg. very much regret of buying this junk.

Looks like you dont know what you are buying.

Pay attention to the processor next time. All those letters for Intel chip matters. H series is a high performance laptop chip drawing slightly less power than desktop counterpart (heck, most of them are considered desktop replacement with some portability). You should buy a U series at the very least, if not, then just buy one equipped with a Lunar Lake processor (2x6V or 2x8V) which offer power savings comparable to ARM SoC. Lunar Lake has fewer cores but good performance when on battery but it suffered compared to these power hungry H/HX chip (having more cores) when plugged in.

Right now the best Intel has to offer is Panther Lake (3xx series). This series has 2 ultra low power core which I guessed will be used to keep the system up when it is in sleep or idle mode to save power. It was able to achieve Lunar Lake idling power draw while delivery high performance when it was needed.

Just ordered Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Ultra Aura Edition (what a name)



It was either Panther Lake or X2E but sked software compatibility so stay with x86.

let us know if its the same issue with mine slim 7!

Bro,

Panther Lake has long battery life... build on Intel newest 18A.

I almost went in for this.

Guess I would need to consider something else.

I guess people really buy laptop based on brands and not specs huh...

Thank you. This is really helpful.
