Would not have expected a 4060 GPU in a laptop by February 2023. When is Lenovo going to release there stuff. Maybe the 307x laptops will drop in price even more. Amazing stuff.

Mid-tier graphic for flagship price lol. Not mentioning it match the desktop 60s CUDA count xD. Again, two years ago you could get 2080, a sub-flagship card with performance closely matching the desktop 2080. NV gets greedier every year.

Apart from ssd are there any differences between katana B12 and B13, also how significant is the difference between 13620h and 12650h
Thank you.
