*what I think most of the problem is. People either blame the laptop for their misuse or over compensate the specs not realizing they are just countering the overhead of their own, again, misuse.

IMO most (not saying all) hinge issues seem to follow users, not brands. Open you laptop from the center, not opposing corners, and the hinges normally outlast the average useful life of the machine.
Thanks, I have had HP, ASUS, Dell, Sony and Apple --- Lenovo is the only one that had the issue, I do open from the middle (just tried and checked).
That being said, it is the only moving part on 99% of laptops, so is also the most likely point of failure. I personally never had a problem with any of my Lenovo hinges even getting loose, completely anecdotal I admit.
Prompt: "How much extra power would a typical laptop consume over the period of a year with an extra 8 gb of ram on an otherwise identical machine? Assuming a standard household use case."
Response: "Here's a simple estimate of the extra power use from adding 8 GB of RAM over one year. Assume typical home use where the additional RAM draws about 2 watts on average and the laptop is used 8 hours per day. The daily extra energy use would be 2 watts × 8 hours = 16 watt-hours per day. Over a full year, that becomes 16 Wh × 365 days = 5,840 watt-hours per year. Converting to kilowatt-hours, 5,840 Wh ÷ 1000 = 5.84 kWh per year. At an electricity cost of $0.15 per kWh, that would cost 5.84 × 0.15 = $0.88 per year. In short, adding 8 GB of RAM would use roughly 6 kWh per year, costing about $1 annually under typical household use."
So did I, that's where I got the range from. The wording and info need to be a lot more specific. In the end, it doesn't really matter.

P.S. If you want "future-proof" be prepared to pay or omit the GPU. Champagne tastes on a High Life budget

Bought this and the only thing I'm irritated with is the 60w battery.
Yes, with a 5050. Typing it on it now. Expanded to 32 with a 16gb sodimm and added 1tb nvme in the vacant pcie slot. Also, its a LOC Lenovo which is a step up. No Oled though, but thats no big deal as its used for gaming and static images alot so burn in worries. The LOC's have better dispalys than the standard IdeaPads and 144 hz refresh rates.
FWIW, lack of OLED isn't a big deal to me but a lot of the price was likely saved there.

And I didn't think the person was making it up, just confusing things. People love (perhaps not on purpose) to conflate several different ideas / concepts / products into a single mythological conglomeration or remember something they saw 'just the other day' when it actually occurred when someone named Bush was president
In this case it turned out to be correct though.
Nice to know there is a single DDR5 machine sub $1000 with a free ram slot, thus why we have to beat this dead horse over and over and over again in every other laptop thread ad nauseam when the other 99.9% don't have the same thing.
*Not to mention with current ram prices, you better buy the ram you want already installed because upgrading ain't going to be cheap.
