dam... i almost bought this... then i realized my wife would kill me

Recession will arrive during the holiday shopping season. Expected minimum 20% declines.
For nearly the same price, you get:

- Significantly higher multi core performance w/ Intel i7-12700H

- Better video editing performance due to QuickSync (especially for effects-heavy Premiere / AE and Resolve / Fusion projects in h.264, h.265)

- No need to replace the WiFi card (as you already get AX211) due to stability issues w/ Mediatek on current drivers

- native TB4 support, though USB4 should be unlocked for AMD via firmware update, at least for 1 port

- half the RAM (compared to AMD)

- either worse thermals or more noise under load, as Alder Lake runs hotter

The rest seems identical

I believe the Intel variants have Advanced Optimus too.

AMD ones were supposed to have it according to psref spec sheets (since it is Nvidia feature), but Lenovo scrapped it according to the Lenovo rep on their forums.

I picked this up last week when CapOne was offering 15% shopping rewards. Just arrived today. Needed something sooner than Black Friday, but certainly conscious that things may be cheaper soon.

I'm 1 inch away to buy it. How good is Lenovo's price adjustment policy if they drop it with few hundred $ for BF?

They have a banner at the top of the pages that claims price protection through 11/25.

What is their return policy? 30 would carry you to the other side of CM.

If you ever have need of their support services, you might want to have a tub of vaseline ready. Had my laptop just under a year before the battery died causing an electrical short. Even though I was paying for an extended service plan that included in home service, they required me to send my system into the repair depot where they simply put a new battery in and did not test/check any other components.
Now a year later I can't play a game for more than 20 minutes before my system crashes to the desktop and they refuse to send someone out to do anything with it.

I just received the AMD 6900hx version yesterday. Is the Intel version so much better that it would be worth a swap? I've watched videos comparing the two and I'm thinking I'll be completely happy with the AMD. Just hoping for additonal opinions.
