I know that Acer has it, like Dell.

On my p15, you can choose exactly what percent to limit it to. I have it set to 45% as it is permanently plugged in. I use Commercial Vantage (which is a less bloated version of Vantage)

* The 5g modem (particularly paired with the $10 tmobile unlimited business internet) with a long battery life makes this a great travel laptop. It supports dual sim so I have tmobile as esim and att (mobley) as sim.
* To get the good battery life, you want to stick to arm64 native apps (office 365, MS edge / firefox / chromium rather than google chrome).
* For videos, the inbuilt win 11 media player, plays MKV just fine.
* There is an app for Disney+ and amazon prime video. Rest including netflix you need to use the browser. The key issue with the browser (even MS edge) is that it uses widewine cdm for which there isn't a native arm64 in windows 11, so it uses emulation for x86/x64 (meaning battery life could take a hit). It does work though.
* If your use case is specialized, you need specific software that you use, it will may need to emulate = lower battery life, worse performance. If you can stay in the confines of basic web browsing, watching videos, and MS office, it works pretty good.
* There are some odd growing pains. For instance, speedtest.net has an arm app, but it gets stuck. The web version does work. I also have a Macbook air M2. I'd say the M2 provides a more robust and is more stable that this lenovo. I'm tempted to keep both, esp the $10 tmo plan works great on this little laptop.
* BTW, the current models are only sub 6, not mm wave (at least not when I look at the modem)
* The current models for sale only have 300 nits brightness. It's somewhat usable outside (think sitting in the shade). The macbook m2 with 500 nits works much better. Lenovo has a 400 nits brightness in pspref, but is not currently being sold. Was planning to planning to wait for 400 nits but got tempted
It's good for Microsoft office and stuff like most modern PCs. I never tried Photoshop or any editing software like that on mine. But I do remember Adobe having a Photoshop version that works on natively on Arm for Windows, I'm not sure about their other software so ymmv there. I look at these type of laptops as the Windows version of a Chromebook. So I personally wouldn't want to spend this much on an Arm laptop( I got my Samsung for $450 refurbed). But if this Thinkpad gets Linux support soon then the value definitely goes up imo to where'd I think about it for under $800.
And to the guy answering for me 😂.
