Such a nice laptop but they gimped the battery and screen in the AMD models for some reason. I'm not buying Intel so I guess it's time to hold out for ARM.
How many of you are holding out for more Snapdragon X Elite ARM options to be available vs. still going with x86 processors for your next mobile Windows device?

The new ARM SD X Elite is not in this league. You cannot develop on it since there is no SQL server or virtualization like VMWare. And no power apps like Solidworks. Graphics are also weak for gaming.
For a low-end consumption and office laptop, SD is great, but this is not designed for that.
I returned the 32GB version today because the fan made an annoying high-pitched sound. It seems like the problem has persisted over multiple generations. It may depend on the temperature and the location of the laptop.
I tried out a different Lenovo Intel laptop that performed the same tasks faster without the high-pitched sound. It's not all Lenovo laptops. Maybe it's because the Intel one has two fans instead of one?

Explain to me how "14" 2.8K (2880x1800) 16:10, 60Hz, 400-nits, 100% DCI-P3, DisplayHDR True Black 500, Dolby Vision, Anti-glare / Anti-reflection / Anti-smudge, OLED Display" is gimped?
The Intel version comes with a 3K 120hz panel, which results in a lot less eye fatigue if you are working for long periods of time.
My eyes feel fine after working on 60hz monitors for years, so it sounds like 120hz and 0.2K more resolution is just an additional battery draw and increased cost.
