I purchase this laptop about a month ago and at the same time purchased a 2TB Samsung 990 Pro to replace the stock 1TB. I couldn't get the Samsung cloning software to work until I turned off bitlocker. Because this laptop comes with Windows 11 Pro bitlocker is enabled by default. Not sure if you purchase an SSD from another brand if it will have the same issue so just be aware if you plan on installing a larger SSD.

I'd normally complain about soldered RAM, but not at 64GB. And it's LPDDR5X, BTW.

RAM is super high quality, runs at CL18. For reference, this is about half the latency of normal DDR5.

Screen is very nice, it's actually a 90Hz panel that they crippled to 60Hz with software. You need to use Custom Resolution Utility CRU to actually run it at 90Hz.

Battery life is mediocre though. Requires significant tweaking to make it decent. Probably around 6 hours before tweaks.

Overall it's a solid setup as long as ultra long battery life isn't your #1 priority.

I bought this few weeks ago and I am getting battery life of 4 hours max. This is without tweaking. I am doing nothing other than browsing. Does any one know what are those tweaks that bring up the battery life ?
If I knew I was only going to web-browse during a given session, I would run in power-saver mode (which should also mitigate OLED drain). I would also run desktop/display in dark mode, assuming indoor use.(I run dark mode as default on my OLED displays anyway.)

EDIT: I would also check for most current BIOS update.

I tried some adjustments, like using a black theme and setting the brightness to a very minimal 30%, but the battery life is still less (the reported one). I started a thread in the Lenovo forums, and other users confirmed that the laptop's expected battery life is indeed limited. The combination of the OLED display, processor, and a relatively low 52.5 Whr battery are the reasons behind this. I wish they had included an extra battery in this model. Perhaps this is why it frequently appears in deals. I decided to keep the laptop because it has excellent Linux support. If you are working with Linux this will come in handy.

Just curious -- have you benchmarked battery for both Win11 and Linux?

Also, have you tried/checked:
  • You're running the most recent BIOS version.
  • You've checked to see what BIOS power mgt options are available.
  • Under Win11, you've set these Start > System > Power & Battery:
    • "Power mode": [Best power efficiency]
    • "Lower screen brightness when using battery saver.": [On]
EDIT-1: Another thought: how much does your system fan run during use? If markedly more than you'd expect, there may be a BIOS fan control option. If so, you should track cpu temp to find a good compromise for your "lite use" sessions. Poor system fan mgt issues have popped up in the past on a few laptop models that have shown up on SD.

EDIT-2: I've assumed that any potential issue may be hardware mgt related, but you also want to check your running processes and their execution demand/CPU utilization. Some apps -- whether user or system apps -- can be silent execution hogs.

Yeah, but at what price for the HP??
YMMV but for me it was $993 plus 10% CB, plus $150 off from Amex. So $743 plus tax.

Ram is soldered, but it's also LPDDR5X (the fastest type) so the value is subjective.

No TB4 ports, but has a RJ-45 port which is rare nowadays.

Screen is 60Hz OLED, eats battery and likely has PWM if you're one of the few people affected by that.

By comparison the HP Elitebook 845 G10 had SODIMM slots, 2 x TB4 ports and a 120hz 500 nit IPS screen. I was all over this model until I saw HP's specs.

That battery is WAY too small for this hardware, this need a battery in 80's Whr.. Major fail here plus no touch screen and not 4k screen.
Touchscreen is a user preference and that is not at all any major fail. And 4K in a small 14" inch size is practically useless. Even a lot of people will consider this 2.8K resolution a lot for such a small screen. Looks like you are throwing some terms you picked up from here and there without understanding the actual reason for it.
Battery life, I do agree, but even a 64W battery could have been a lot, not like the 80 WHr you're thinking.

Got mine last month, swapped the stock 1 tb ssd to a 4 tb one and it is working fine with win 10 migrated from my old x1 carbon. HDMI 2.1 on this one can output 4k at 120hz. No sudden fan noise ppl mentioned in the previous gen. Keyboard is somewhat downgraded to my gen3 x1 carbon but still much better than other major brands. My battery can hold for around 5 hours under light use. Happy with the purchase so far.

I can understand complaining about the soldered rams at 8GB or 16GB, but this has 64GB! of ram and you are still complaining?
