Isn't 300-nits low for a $1400 laptop?

I recently tried a Slim Pro 7, with a 350 nit screen…on sale for 850. My only complaint was the screen just didn't get bright enough. Otherwise it's fantastic for what you get.

So yea, 300 is quite low…especially at this price point. These used to all come standard with the 500 nit screen…and it's only a $30 upgrade when custom building…but few of these prebuilt options that go on sale have it sadly.

For those wondering how this compared against the FP Asus Zephyrus Intel/3070TI version.

I ended up keeping this one, because of lower fan noise (the Zephyrus is uncomfortably noisy during load), the keyboard feels sturdier, and the CPU/GPU combination ended up outperforming the Zephyrus by ~2k in 3DMark Time Spy.

I'm not quite sure why the 7745HX is underperforming the 12900H, but the significant drag on the other machine is definitely the older 3070 TI, despite all the reviews I have read about these 2 GPUs.

Be forewarned, you have to use the approved graphics drivers for Lenovo laptops. Essentially about 8 months behind the Nvidia update cycle

I have the last year's model with 3070 and use Nvidia drivers without problems.

I have this laptop and just updated it to the latest nvidia drivers, no issues gaming or otherwise.

Lots of people complaining about the 300 nit screen, its plenty bright to me unless in higher light situations. Basically if you have any control over the level of ambient light you'll never have a problem. They still have the 500 nit screen option as well but it seems tougher to get a deal on one of those even though its only a $30 option.

I bought this same laptop with 32GB Ram (part# 82WM0006US) in May. I didn't use it first month. Recently, when I play games running on battery, it only last 35 minutes from 100% to 5%~10%. Is that normal?

If that's true, than I am very disappointed and should buy desktop gaming PC instead. I understand that this laptop with 4070 card needs more power (300W adaptor), but still only 30 minutes gaming on battery makes no sense. If it's faulty battery, I will contact Lenovo for a repair/replacement.

It sounds a little low, but it depends on what you're trying to run. Gaming laptops in general are not really meant to be used that often for AAA gaming without plugging them in. You might get 1.5-2 hours under optimal conditions. There are ways to lengthen the portable gaming though. You can put the screen on 60hz, lower the brightness, run it on battery saver mode etc.

I game on it often but almost never without it being plugged in or close to being plugged in, so you would have to do some research to see if what you're experiencing is normal.

Thanks! I just did some googling and sounds like gaming laptop indeed needs to plug-in to play games, particularly AAA games. Gaming laptop does not mean to play games on battery, LOL. I wish I know this before buying powerful gaming laptop.
