The battery life on this has to be pretty terrible. A 14" 2.7lb Thinkpad should be designed for portability, power efficiency and enough processing power to run productivity apps. This machine would be MUCH better with an AMD Ryzen 6650u or 6850u APU. Why this configuration (with the relatively power inefficient i7 and a discrete GPU) even exists is a question I would ask.

There are two versions. AMD version already exists with 6650U and 6850U.
The discrete graphics card in here is a Certified workstation card and Lenovo provides certifications for a tons of applications in this. That can come handy in lot of scenarios. However, AMD Version has not been offered with any dedicated GPU which looks kinda lame to me.
