How is the iGPU on these for some light gaming? What kind of games can you run?
Here's a review saying it's pretty good for light gaming. But realize that there's very limited cooling capability in a 12" tablet form factor like this so both the processor & video will probably end up throttling performance pretty quickly to keep from overheating during a game or intense video editing/encoding tasks.

Coming to $1,164.90 now as the deal is listed above (no 4g card).

I had the lower price but came back and now it's gone up...

Edit: nevermind, the stupid SD extension was auto-applying and overriding my coupon with an older THINKJUN one. That's aggravating.

THINKJUNDEAL replicates OP's $1,059

You will get around 7 to 9 hours based on what you are doing and the screen brightness. See the below review from Notebookcheck.net which will give you better understanding.
https://www.notebookcheck.net/Len...888.0.html
Tune windows 10 for battery life and you'll get longer runtimes and sleep, closer to Tom's Hardware review of 11 hours.

https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/lenovo-thinkpad-x12-detachable

1. Use tablet mode with windows store apps when possible. This combination is optimized for power savings.
2. https://support.microsoft.com/en-...696fdf2de8
Use the lowest power mode available and convenient. Use higher power modes when you need higher performance.

3. https://www.tenforums.com/tutoria...10-pc.html
Optimize power usage for longer battery runtime.

4. https://www.tenforums.com/tutoria...-10-a.html
Consider turning off connected standby network connectivity.
Otherwise, the Surface will wake in sleep mode and use up battery behind your back.

5. https://www.tenforums.com/tutoria...-10-a.html
Turn off Fast Startup, turn on Hibernation.
Use hibernate when not using the computer for awhile, else use sleep, to save battery.

6. https://support.microsoft.com/en-...090ac66bed

https://batteryuniversity.com/ind..._batteries

Read to understand how to take care of the Surface battery.

7.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/...tery-limit
Turn it on if plugged in most of the time to A.C.

8. Screen brightness greatly affects battery runtime. Set to manual brightness, under 50% when comfortable.

Like all the low wattage 15w~ tiger lakes with xe gpu, mx350~ level.

E.g. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RqhDlJLh2X0

Don't expect a nvidia miracle, but it'll run.

It will run better than the Tiger Lakes without xe gpu - E.g. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=P8y3oEHUmAk

I am a second year medical grad student and currently leaving Zoom university and going back to in person class. I'd say a touch screen with pen tablet/laptop like this one is really really helpful and 90 percent of my classmates have a note taking tablet of some sort (iPad, surface, galaxy tab). Depends on your major, it is most likely required that you read a lot of PDF documents like articles, textbook, research papers, and journals. It is important that you can quickly write down notes and annotation while reading and condense a long article to a few pages note for your exams. And being able to make class notes after a lecture is also extremely important. I had an old surface pro 3 when school first started but broke the screen couple of months ago and couldn't find a good replacement until I see this deal. So I had to rely on mouse and keyboard for notes and highlights on PDF which frankly is not too bad, but I do spend almost double amount of time on reading. So long story short, if you can afford this one, you won't be regret. If you can't then go for S7+ or something.

It is a PC! Vs Mac!

...

MB Pro runs an Intel gpu, so currently 100% compatible with all software, drivers, equipment.
16" is a nice model - generous screen and keyboard. Very comfortable for long hours of use.

MB M1 anything.
Not 100% compatible with all apps, and some apps that run are missing features or have issues. Not compatible with all devices and such.
Due to the use of a mobile cpu derived processor.

https://isapplesiliconready.com/for/unsupported
Anything that is not listed as m1 native runs through emulation and can be slower.

This website doesn't list individual app issues.

https://helpx.adobe.com/download-...-chip.html
Even popular apps that run fine on Intel Macs have issues.

Ie. Always have a backup (ie. School lab pc) to fall back on when doing things last minute when using a m1 mac.

https://forums.macrumors.com/foru...-macs.227/

M1 Macs run no faster than the MacBook Pro 16 across benchmarks, not even a 2020 iMac upgraded with a i9 cpu.

...

X12 up to 11 hour battery life based on Tom's Hardware review. Generally solid laptop with a detachable screen.

Not like the Lenovo Duet 7I with bigger 13" 3:2 screen, detachable wireless keyboard, and color sensing pen. (Cdw.com has stock) depends on if you prefer 16:9 to get movies to play full screen and multitask 2 apps side by side, or 3:2 to see a few more lines single tasking, but all movies play letterboxed.

...

Notebookcheck.net has reviews

runtimes.

https://www.notebookcheck.net/LG-...262.0.html

Compare vs lg gram (14, 16, 17"models) battery runtimes, which seriously run much longer than many other laptops out.
You'll only get between LOAD AND WI-FI runtimes in general, so rough real world of 2x load runtime is a good estimate.

...

Thin metal tablet stand!
If you use tablets on your lap, thighs will soon hurt!
Laptops and 2-in-1 with flat bottoms better then.

....

No idea what major, so can't give you a better idea.

In general, and 11th gen Tiger Lake Intel cpu with 8gb will do for the basics of grad school research, writing, video calls, Etc. 16gb better of you multitask heavily,, never close anything, zoom a ton.

Beyond that, if a fast gpu is need (eg CS major), hard pass and get a laptop with at least a 2060, if not a 3060 ($1100 3060 gaming notebooks Wal-Mart).

E.g. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-o...Id=6412913
A very solid baseline pc laptop that does everything great.

...

Tablets and 2-in-1 have the benefit of tablet mode. Write notes, annotate with a pen easily.

E.g. Vs a laptop I have, my tablet pc let me annotate 1000s of pages of texts one semester far easier and quicker.

OneNote can record audio lectures sync'd to the notes, too. Can't write fast enough isn't a problem! Just click on any note to hear the sync'd lecture start playing from that moment.

...

Thin, small, very portable.
1 slim "paper notebook" is all you need to carry around. (Maybe a charger)
Macs are fat and 1lbs~ heavier.
(Even vs lg gram 14 at 2lbs, 3lbs Macs are 50% overweight)
