I bought one last month for $299. Now the Apple Store is showing $449

How about ms-sudo/mssudo and ms-curl/mscurl

P1 comes to mind

Ohh, my apologies for the confusion. I was just using Go as a menubar/tray icon application (with some OS-specific bindings) and meant to say that its performance was excellent. No electron involved

I actually did something similar: business logic and most things written in Go, but the menu bar or tray icon done in native APIs like Win32 and Gtk. It was surprisingly very good experience overall. I have tried so many ways around it before settling for that.

You're probably right. But the issue here is that they are providing a 180W USB-C PD rather than 240W.

Lenovo officially announced a new generation (3rd) of their most powerful ThinkPad P16. Some of the important changes:

- CPU up to Core Ultra 9 285HX

- GPU up to RTX PRO 5000 (Blackwell)

- 3.2K 120Hz Tandem OLED display option

- 3x 4TB SSD option

- RJ45 port is back

- A bit lighter than previous gen (starts at 2.4 Kgs)

- Thunderbolt 5 port

- Up to 196GB memory

The probable downgrade could be the switch from the proprietary charger to USB-C PD (which is limited to 180W)

Framework introduced Framework 16, a 16 inch laptop featuring Ryzen AI 300 series CPUs and NVIDIA RTX 5070 dGPU. The most interesting thing is that the dGPU is upgradable separately.

Yes, I can confirm. But i thought that was by design

I just recently watched it. Although the visuals may not match The Matrix, it was written very well. Found it pleasant.

I own couple of ThinkPads myself: an old L-series one, a T490 and lately a P16s. They all are fine. 45 mins on battery on best performance mode is very bad.

I am currently using a P16s with an Intel's meteor lake CPU and an RTX 500 Ada dGPU. I would say it is not that bad. Linux Mint worked OOB perfectly. I get 5-6 hrs of battery life which is fine for me (considering it has a 4K OLED display). The dGPU is mostly idle and the machine is mostly silent unless I am gaming.

The only times I hear the fans going are when using it on my lap or playing games. I do run Windows VM for a big .NET Framework project (coding on JetBrains Rider) and at the same time some coding on Linux. The CPU handles those fine.

These are my personal experiences though. The only issue I can pick is sometimes Chrome shows some artifacts (I think, related the iGPU driver)

I know, right?

In the US at least, they usually go on sale. If you can manage to get a corporate discount, you can get them at a sane price.

At December, for example, I got a latest P14s at around $1,100 which is OK price for the machine you get.

Around the holiday season they usually drop to around $1k

- Time your purchase

- get coupons

- get a corporate discount if you can
