Lenovo hasn't issued a BIOS update for their laptops yet, as far as I'm aware.
That said, this is a 55watt i5 CPU. It's likely not impacted by the Intel overvoltage issue.

It is currently out of stock though.

I was leaning towards the Best Buy Lenovo LOQ for $700, but I saw that the AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS CPU in it doesn't have an integrated GPU, so it runs on the RTX 4060 all the time, leading to terrible battery life.
The Intel i5-13450HX CPU in this deal seems to be comparable in performance to the Ryzen in the Best Buy deal, but it has an integrated GPU, so battery life should be much better, right? That would be worth the extra $70.
As for the Intel 13th/14th gen issue with Lenovo, apparently it's fixed in this BIOS update?

But I'm not 100% sure. Can anyone weigh in?
Edit: I ended up going with the $700 ASUS TUF at Best Buy instead. I didn't want to have to worry about the CPU/motherboard issues in the Lenovo LOQ.
