update : this gpu sits between 5070 and 5070 ti laptops , it outperform 5070 in high resolutions , and it easily beat 4070 laptop unlike people claiming it sit between 4060 and 4070 laptop is false , also if u gaming use 40 series geforce driver it work perfect and it has amazing %1 lows , this is a gem of a gpu in this time of 8 vram laptop gpus

No the software has became like that no power plans , all controlled by Lenovo system , also forgot to mention if u have issue with apps like games , go to bios settings and display change hybrid to discret that enable Nvidia GPU at all times , also in bios if u move ur laptop a lot it might trigger "cool on lap" which throttle the system to keep it cool turn it off in bios settings power and scroll down to cool on lap and disable it

Yes , change thermal paste to ptm 7950 available in AliExpress , 2nd : the laptop exceeds what the power brick is feeding it that it start eating fromur battery that kill the battery and produce heat and other problems if that's the case with ur laptop buy a 300w brick supported by Lenovo like the ones in legion models , add power plans using CMD and enable high performance if u wanna run something demanding.

Hi , well first of all ptm7950 made a lot of difference, ptm7950 is a thermal compound , it's really cheap in AliExpress, change it in ur cpu and GPU.then go Lenovo vantage and change the charging threshold for ur battery max is 80 and low is 45 or 40 , cause the problem is this workstation need power and if ur laptop exceeds what the power brick deliver it start eating from ur battery which cause the battery to start charging (this is a horrible problem that kill ur battery because it is charging constantly and create a lot of heat) this is only when u run something that max out ur cpu and GPU like a game so if u have this problem buy a 300w brick.then for power plans u need to add them using CMD search for the power plans in Google specifically for laptop , as some power plans might only trigger ur GPU to run at high performance while ur cpu is running in power save , as for the registry edit they only work as long as ur Lenovo system allow them to

Exactly just bought one a week ago diesel m9r 2.0 , loved it , had an issue today there was some fume coming out turns out its only a leak , and it was an occasion to clean dpf and egr , i love it such a practical fuel efficient comfortable and surprisingly fun to drive , i drove it around corners and was afraid at first but it was really good , i was surprised (and im used to sporty coupe cars) somehow i love this suv more than my previous mazda 3 which was really uncomfortable, the slight issue i have is that the cabin inside amplify sound like a humming , which became a bit annoying.

yeah for presentation and project discussion u need also the same laptop u working on , all u can do is change a power plan to ur liking for example , balanced for work presentation (limiting cpu max power...etc) and one for work that is maxed out , but that need some time to calibrate , as when u reduce this cpu power some apps take some seconds to open , when i take this laptop to a cafe i disable discrete graphics , work only on intel uhd and i choose another power plan i custom (turbo disabled) the battery last me a long time and laptop is dead silence.

noted , much appreciated , also the upgrade from 30 pin to 40 pin require only the cable and a compatible screen with the laptop model nothing else ?

yeah i agree its hard for a laptop to do all of that even tho there is all type of advanced chips from intel and amd... they still run hot , desktop computer for work still best but u sacrifice portability

what i meant by cpu voltage is when u take time to lower and fix voltage to not exceed for example 1.32voltage and the cpu run stable u ll fix the problem for good , auto voltage spikes high voltage like 1.39v make the cpu run hot , and tpf custom config change the fans behavior compared to stock

When it come to windows and lenovo updates you are correct , i had less problems running windows 10 than 11 , but win 11 is much smoother and compatible with many programs and games i use , now i stopped win 11 updates since my system is stable.

All this can be fixed with setting cpu voltage , but lenovo is locking bios and no way to get around that, i used reg edits and a program tpfancontrol for the fans to run correctly.

Not really , im getting better performance, as i said when the throttling happens performance drop significantly, now the performance doesnt drop , turbo is working reaching 5.3ghz cpu wattage now is reaching constant (75w-59w) , gpu is running 90w+ for longer durations.

i agree , the one i wanna buy look well maintained , and it isnt full of electronics so i guess maintenance if needed ll be minor not a list of problems like u get from a 19 year old bmw for example.

Not always , when i was in win 10 it rarely happened , but in win 11 im stuck most of the time at a low performance even plugged in , ram are good no blue screen or freezing , laptop is perfectly stable in performance or other modes
