My $1000 laptop still doesn't have a full-function USB-C port in 2025. Why are manufacturers still cutting this corner?

€ 850 for Lenovo IdeaPad slim 5 with decent build quality, 2 usb C charging + data ports, 2 USB a ports, recent CPU, 32gb ram and 1tb ssd. Depends on the laptop you buy.

Snapdragon X2 Extreme is being bottlenecked by immature drivers and outdated laptop designs

At the same time we need more fanless laptop designs for the X2 Plus and Elite series. My current IdeaPad Slim 5 with X1 Plus has a loud and aggressive fan that should not exist on an ARM machine. PC manufacturers are still reusing old Intel cooling designs instead of building for ARM efficiency. Yo

Ryzen AI 7 350 vs Intel Core Ultra 255H? (Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 vs ASUS Vivobook S14 at ~80k INR)

Ryzen 7 AI 350 is super compatible for your needs. about thermals i think vivobook s14 comes with dual fan setup so cooling will be good than single fan idepad Ryzen has better thermals and i watched many benchmarks show R7 reach 50W range during stress so IdeaPad cooling is not bad for single fan I

Laptop suggestion for mba

I wouldn't recommend a mac simply because functionalities are very different and excel on it would be a nightmare. Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 should do the job in ny opinion:)

How's ThinkBook 16 with R7 7735 HS have been ? Share your experience please.

The camera is really bad. Everything else seems to work fine. The battery is small though. 45Wh only (I get around 3.5 - 4hrs of battery under light usage). You can try for IdeaPad slim 3 with r7 8840HS. It has a 60Wh battery. Or IdeaPad slim 5 gen 10 with ai 7 350. The processor and battery combina

IdeaPad Slim 5x w/ Snapdragon X2 Plus 6-core Now Available for $850

This laptop seems to offer really good value competing against the IdeaPad Slim 5a (16") and IdeaPad 5i (16"). Not sure why they gave the Snapdragon model a 15.3" screen instead of a 16" one, though it is a significantly better screen: 15.3" 100% sRGB 1200p 120Hz IPS default or a 100% DCI-P3 1440p 1

Laptop Recommendations (500 - 600eur)

IdeaPad Slim 5 14" is your best bet.Upgradable RAM, pretty good CPU and two SSD slots.The iGPU is alright as well.Metal (aluminum) build, OLED display.If you can find a Ryzen AI 7 version, perfect. Otherwise, look elsewhere.

Laptop Recommendations (500 - 600eur)

There are some Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 models with Ryzen 7 7735HS or even 8840HS around this price. It probably depends on which exact country in the EU you're buying from, but these are some of the few laptops with decently powerful chips I've seen around that price range. They should be decent, but
