So, I did some #firmware updates but apparently this laptop does NOT like being connected to a docking station for two days straight just idling.
It's a generic USB-C dock but provides microSD and SE card slots, several USB 3 ports, Ethernet, and dual displays via DisplayPort.
This dock previously was dedicated to my home office with my work laptop, an HP Elitebook. The dock works fine but apparently there are weird power issues on the later high end #ThinkPad models related to the use of non-Lenovo docks that trip up or otherwise confuse the laptop's power and embedded controllers. Additionally, the two TB4 ports are different. This is specific to the new #AMD #Ryzen 9 #AI #HX370 #laptop chips and not #Intel.
Still researching but as awesome as this laptop is, spec-wise, it feels like #Lenovo rushed it to market without the proper testing it needed.
It also does NOT help that Lenovo shipped this with #OEM #Ubuntu but their support pages *only* cover #Windows 10/11.
A brand new laptop should NOT have this many #problems. Ugh.
Steam hOS: Picking The OS For My DIY Steam Machine
Valve announced the Steam Machine II, I might have squeed. Then I noticed the decided lack of Oculink, meaning the 7600M is your forever GPU.

I don't know why I'm still bothering when this is DOA as fuck for $930.
Sucks for #AI, and performs no better than a Mac Mini with half the RAM. For that price, you can make a substantially better gaming desktop.

Let's test the waters! You have USD $1,100:
- A Deck with a Ryzen AI HX 370, like ROG Ally or Legion Go
- A laptop with an RTX 4050.
- A Steam Deck OLED with a battery pack and save $400.
Which do you pick? Why?

#ArrowLake isn't an #StrixPoint killer, but a surprising #MacBookAir alternative.
Hopefully the price is competitive (but seems it will not).
Mom, look at these graphs!

I still can’t find a good excuse to recommend a #Qualcomm laptop.
The only mild excuse I have is for office tasks and web browsing.
For the same price you can get an #iPadAir 13 inch with a keyboard, mouse, bag or case and #AppleCare.
#SnapdragonX needs to really step up their game on its second generation price/perf. And you have #Zen5 on top of them too, and #LunarLake approaching.

As always, #MiniPC and #MacMini have a special place on the market due to their power budget.
European/Latin guys and gals will be happy getting an efficient machine.
On USA, China, Japan, they will live or die based on their performance alone, since energy is relatively cheap.
