The big negative is the antiquated port selection:
- Only one Thunderbolt and it doesn't support charging (according to Copilot). That's pretty weak in 2023.
- The HDMI port only supports 4K at 30 fps... (That's WTF territory.)
It's a hard pass for me as I want to be able to drive two external screens at 4K 60Hz with a dock and I want to be able to use my PD charger when I travel. Much cheaper laptops can do both of those things.
It's puzzling why Lenovo still insists on an antiquated charging port in 2023 and even on the new 2024 version of this laptop.
Otherwise looks like a great laptop.
The Asus Zephryus G14 with the 4060 fits that description quite nicely. It has been posted here for $999 a few times. Right now, it's $1199 at best buy. I'd suggest to wait a week or two if you can, I'm sure it's gonna touch $1K again.
The other option you have is the Legion Slim 5 with the 14.5" OLED display and 4060. It's been $1049 as the lowest quite a few times. Again, I'd say to wait for a few weeks and that deal should come around again.

Because the specs of both the TB port and HDMI 2.0 port are pretty stringent in that the HDMI 2.0 can support 4k60hz and the TB port can be used to charge. I doubt it can charge while using the GPU though.

I have put hands on this laptop at Costco, and must say I really like it.
