Good deal but I've been getting Bluetooth problems with this one… Bluetooth adapter keeps becoming unavailable even after they swapped the board, twice..

I hadn't created a Perks account previously, as my employers never showed up in the search.

Today I tried my work email, and just typed in the company name.

Ymmv, but it worked!
I used to have an employer that participated in Perks@Work. The same thing happened because the domain was registered as allowed by Perks@Work.

I was responding to a post which indicated that they'll take anyone. This is not true. You must register using an email from a domain that is registered as a P@W participant.

October 20th for Intel desktop and "by end of the year" for mobile. I don't know why anyone would consider a mobile AMD since they do not have Thunderbolt, which is amazing.

My son had a heavy MSI gaming laptop with all of the requisite cooling. Lugging it around for school wasn't easy because of the weight.

With Thunderbolt (especially version 4 on PCIe 4), you can buy an ultraportable laptop with a stout processor and beefy ram and then just plug it into a TB4 desktop-based external GPU of your choosing.

This is better than settling on heavy, compromised, dedicated mobile GPU-based gaming laptop that requires huge power and cooling.

I have a question. Does anybody really buy Lenovo's laptops at the supposed list price of $2,159.00? Or do they quote a ridiculously high price and give huge "discounts"?
I feel like I am buying a rug at market in Tangiers when I go to Lenovo. It is like a rug seller saying price is $100,000 but "for you, we have a special today and I can make it $3,000."

Absurdly high list price and then hunting discounts. since I last visited two weeks ago I am getting emails twice a day from Lenovo, for an additional $100 off any laptop, yet when applying code, it gets "limited" to $20 in cart.

And really a 300 nit screen on a "$2160" laptop??

Read the "up to $100" discount details - the terms are clearly spelled out.

can a laptop like this comfortably run games like overwatch, league, or valorant if the settings are tuned modestly?

It's not a gaming laptop. It will run it probably in low/medium setting but don't expect it to look great.

AMD will probably announce it Q1 2023 at Computex 2023, so don't expect to see it till Q2 2023.

Over $2100 MSRP for this hot garbage? Nah that deal is priced at normal price. Doesn't even have a graphics card for crying out loud.

Yes, 13" 2.6 lbs laptop doesn't have video card. Makes perfect sense doesn't it?

Yes they send me the bogus fine print discount code twice a day for a week since I visited their site and priced out a machine.

Their pricing structure is the type suckers like. They often triple the price of what the specs are competitively, and and then the thing ,w with all the "great discounts" at the final price is pretty much the market competitive price, but you have to go through a silly exercise.

I have been buying laptops for 35 years, About 50 machines. What Lenovo is doing with this deal is citing the corporate rate price, which no corporation pays since they get a large blanket discount, and pretending like there is a major consumer discount.

Exactly. You can bet they haven't sold a single unit at even 50% of this bogus "regular price."

You don't understand how enterprise pricing work. If you need to order 50 of these from a partner, they are paying the jack up price. Maybe not 2k but def paying 1.2-1.3k. I order enough of them from CDW to know.

C'mon, man. They clearly spelled out their terms. Also, it's not like they leeched onto your browser and suddenly started spamming you. You had to explicitly sign up to get that code, so you gave them your email address and said you would accept emails (to get that up to $100 off offfer).

What's really sad, I can promise you they do make sales to those who don't know better or don't take the time to add a quick coupon or do a quick google. It happens all the time.

I consider eGPU an edge case (people who game) to an edge case (people who game AND need more GPU than they get in their laptop already) to an edge case (people who game AND need more GPU than the get in their laptop already AND are willing to spend another $300 to address that, and address any possible compromises).

You lucky few. But I don't think many decisions are made based on TB4 vs. not in the AMD space (or any other space.).

Both integrated mobile dGPU and fixed-location eGPU are compromises in some way or another. Although you can take them with you with your laptop, mobile dGPUs are still less capable than desktop GPUs but require a bigger laptop for cooling them. eGPUs have no such limitation. You can run a 500W top-of-the-line GPU on your 2.5lbs laptop wherever you decide to park the monster. Yet, you still have a svelte, 2.5lbs laptop for the road. But there's no GPU anymore. Compromise or compromise?

I know a bunch of guys (let's be honest - they're *all* guys) who work for Dassault Systèmes doing 3D rendering for a large automaker in the area (Metro Detroit). None of the car commercials that you see are real in any way - these guys generate them digitally. It is fascinating. Most of them have their assigned work desktop PC with the requisite GPU (they required auxiliary cooling).

My son has an HP Envy 13 i7-1165.- 16GB RAM; 1TB nvme; 2.8lbs; $800+tax.

Add:
  • eGPU dock $350
  • GeFord RTX 2060 from old desktop PC: Free
  • Ability to upgrade GPU in the ePGU box: Free
For a total of $1150, we get an ultraportable that can be used for reasonably high-end gaming and we can upgrade when required (as it turns out, many of his games run on the iGPU just fine). Since we could not afford a gaming laptop *pushing $2000 or more) anyway, this was the best option for now and the future.
