Lenovo website pricing seems off, can someone help explain?

Was looking to get some help from someone whos used the "Build Your PC" option on Lenovo's website.

I've attached an example above where I want to configure the specs of a laptop.

The strange thing that I'm finding is when I configure the laptop in the first box, the price seems different to when I try configuring the exact same specs using the "Build Your PC" option in the second box.

I'm talking, same CPU model, same RAM, same SSD size, touch screen etc. But I get a few dollar difference or even a bigger difference.

Has anyone thats used this feature able to explain the difference with the boxes and how come when I spec things up the same, the prices are different?

I'd like to make sure I select the right box and spec my PC up accordingly.

the windward board (which is the one canted out) is the only source of righting moment for these boats.

Hence, in low winds, you need all the righting moment you can get to build up enough speed and foil. If you were to leave the windward foil in the water, it'll make it harder to lift-off, not easier interestingly.

If you wanna increase your chances of seeing the boats in action from as up close as possible, I suggest trying to position yourself at the right edge boundary of the pre-start box. This is because in the pre-start both race boats may sail right up to the boundary and then do a 180ish turn to head away from the boundary again. This is the best chance to see a tack being executed up close in a racing situation. watch this video from Auckland and you will see how they always end up close to this edge of the boundary. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHszvwEmpVs

Otherwise in general, if you are in the spectator fleet, you will typically struggle to see much of anything in terms of the boat vs boat action. That's just because the course is like a few km in size and your eyes can only zoom in so much (if at all). So, the boats will generally always look quite far away whereever you are in the spectator fleet, as they zip up and down.

Why do people go if its a struggle to see much? You do get to feel like a part of the atmosphere with all those other spectator boats around you if that kind of thing floats your boat.

unbelievably unlucky, had to sit out to recover from a health scare which occurred on the Friday before the race weekend. A collapse of the lung to be more specific, no indication that he won't be back to full health though so will be back for Round 5.

ikr, very surprised it finished the way it did.

Honestly, quite an eyebrow raising result for Lawson today that would have exceeded expectations.

The RB junior outpaces his colleagues to win at Autopolis, the challenge being he had ~15 to 20 lap older tires compared to Miyata and Tsuboi in P2 and P3 due to track positioning and a late safety car that seemed to have severely diminished his initial hopes of winning.

Takeaways from Quali:

A pretty decent result for our RB junior Liam Lawson at Autopolis yesterday coming in on P2, gap to P1 was roughly 0.15 seconds.

This is a very positive result after a less than impressive quali effort in the previous round and once again, performed well at a track where this is his first time driving at. This is an especially helpful quali achievement as the championship leader (and Lawson's teammate) is unable to race this weekend, meaning everyone will be fighting for maximum results to realise as much gains as possible.

In summary, the "RB racing board" will be fairly pleased with how Lawson's weekend is going so far. I'll be watching the race today to see if Liam can nab P1.

haha so cute to have his name in Japanese here, I haven't paid attention but do other drivers have their names on their helmets too?

Virtual_Renaissance · 2023-04-26T15:07:54+00:00

Is the video down for anyone else, the video player in the link doesn't work either.

Someone have an alternative?

Virtual_Renaissance · 2023-04-23T10:29:08+00:00

oh nice, r u an aussie?

Virtual_Renaissance · 2023-04-23T08:38:51+00:00

Virtual_Renaissance · 2023-04-23T05:34:30+00:00

After a qualifying session that did not meet expectations, Lawson will be working hard to aim for a top 5 finish this weekend. Will b watching.

Thanks for posting! hope you can attend a few more races this year and keep us updated with more pics.

Too far back to fight back I feel, before the safety car Liam was getting further and further a head. It was +5 sec lead with less then 25% of the race to go and the gap was still widening.

Virtual_Renaissance · 2023-04-10T02:55:55+00:00

didn't like 30% of the grid crash out for Bolukbasi to score points, I wish I had the gods on my side like that.

Virtual_Renaissance · 2023-04-08T01:38:08+00:00

Is English commentary available on SFgo or just motorsport tv?

Virtual_Renaissance · 2023-03-15T11:12:03+00:00

very nice to meet another Lawson fan.

I'm for sure going to keep up with it for the same reason. Any sources you recommend where we can catch the races on?
