Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Did I Just Find The Perfect Laptop? (2019)”.
Right, yeah yeah, shall we so you know I mean the backstory is well documented on the Internet, I’ve always been bouncing between various laptops. It’S an important part of my my gadget kit. We do know very well I’m trying to like figure out what he wants. I was mostly using the smaller ThinkPad x-series laptops, but maybe I should pay more attention put more time into the 15-inch model. You get the bigger screen.
You can get graphics if you want. Since the last time I looked at a 15-inch ThinkPad, they came up with another one and a new x1 extreme version. If you look at the side of the box. Actually, this it’s a second seat and the reason I’m interested in this model specifically use the fact that this one has an OLED display.
Now I know the audience is likely split on whether or not you think OLED makes any sense at all in a laptop. The beauty here with Lenovo is they let you customize 4 different screens on here, including 3, that are not OLED. So if you don’t want that, you got plenty of 500 nits options, your big NIT guy right! Well, I like the nits bright OLED funny enough. The OLED display is actually a hundred fewer nits than the IPS version mhm, but anyhow it’s also 4k.
It’S multi-touch and has Dolby vision, HDR 500. So this is the highest end display inside of this package of the bunch that you have options. For now I have looked at an OLED laptop before a gaming laptop from Razer and I’ve been using that if you’ve been watching Lou later, the show downstairs that’s been on the desk for a couple of episodes.
You get the extra screen real estate. Well, you know what you can do with that games. It’S the box inside the box, so this one here is 135 watts.
It packs in the nvidia geforce gtx 1650 max-q 4gb. That’S the graphics are gon na get in this package. They give you a Type C. Cable, a breakout, Ethernet cable and they gave you a pen check this out. Oh nice button. This is quite a robust metallic pen and this is type of thing gets Willy do very excited when he sees the pen with the art background.
That’S Willy do his origin story. It’S his history, yeah ooh, there is there you go get in there there. You are you’re familiar with the look of a carbon fiber weave, it’s kind of nice. You get reminded of the actual construction. When you look at the appearance on the outside of the lid, we have our power port as well as an LED light, a couple of type-c connectors with the Thunderbolt 3 icon as well. You have a full size, HDMI port networking, breakout port.
For that cable. I showed you earlier: you have a headphone jack, Oh an SD card built-in SD card slot, typical standard old-school, USB ports and a locking section. I believe this is for a smart card over here, the speaker grills. You can see located on the bottom side. Those are gon na reflect off the table, of course, I’ll test that out in a moment, and this is where the whole thing really happens. As far as I’m concerned the keyboard, what happens on the inside over here trackpad is a fairly large size, of course, because it is part of the ThinkPad series.
For me, this is like thin and light decent battery. What’S the best display, I can get on a laptop right now. What’S the best keyboard, I think like this is sort of how I’m looking at, and I like the versatility of ports as well again from the workstation mindset. Mostly that’s the OLED and it’s vibrant. It’S obvious to me: I mean there you go so touch screen display. Also, this screen is blazing my retinas right now, it’s the I 9 98 ath 2.3 gigahertz. It will turbo up. That is the turbo they do they they do later dirt.
They sure do they call it turbo boost it. That’S up to four point: eight gigahertz 32 gigs of DDR for RAM. You have a one terabyte nvme SSD. So these things.
Obviously it’s a beast, but it’s important to note. You do not need to spec out this. Second generation X, one extreme up four grand plus this is like their top-of-the-line topic. You could do a custom, build with the OLED screen and some less heavy specs on the SSD and the RAM and probably save a few bucks that way, if you choose to now.
Let’S go ahead and test the speaker’s real quick. I imagine that if they can bring it in at this rumored 399 price point, that’s just gon na be an aggressive price point. So if Ming Chi is right on that now you have a play in other markets. India and so forth, they want that Apple logo, but they don’t want the Apple price tag and we all know the Apple price tag is well established at this point.
So some other specs here when of our videos ever look this bright on a laptop screen Jack. We’Re gon na contrast in that image holy moly, I mean there, you have it that’s really, at least for me, that’s the killer functionality. That’S the that’s the item. That kind of gets me excited at this point in laptops.
I had this experience with OLED on televisions where you look at it and you’re like man. That is that’s different. That’S advanced! That’S a that’s the new tech and it’s a matter of time for it to bubble down bubble. Usually things bubble up simmer down simmer down into the lower price points. More people can adopt the new tech. I think the same thing will take place in laptops. We might not be there yet, but you guys should know what the fringe is looking like for that potential future in which accessibility to these types of technology improves through cost and so forth. For now, all that’s gon na remain at that top tier level. These displays are tougher to make smaller ones.
They figured it out, obviously with smartphones because they hit they can hit that volume figure, but still in the case of Apple. Well, you have the main iPhone. 11.
The big volume model is not gon na, be an old ad model. Currently, you know I’m saying and that’s the model that’s moving, so you can see even in Apple’s case, getting the cost of all that into the place where most people want to pay even on smart phones, where they’re much easier to cultivate in the small form factor. The bigger the old let gets, the tougher they are to make is my limited understanding of how these things are developed.
So TVs still have that heavy price tag as well associated with them laptops are gon na be in the same boat for a while, but for those that are on the privileged end of the spectrum in terms of their potential laptop options. This is gon na, be that’s a feast for the eyeballs. Will you don’t even understand? Oh yeah, I see it yeah feast, your eyeballs, really do it’s beast in face them. .
