Holy moly! This video is packed with great information. I'm going to have to watch it again a time or two to absorb it all as I'd love to have a laptop that will keep up with others in a workshop situation.
And I just ordered a new laptop for work today! Primary function is for mobile work, but tried to get a unit that can do some double duty/think it is decent. Lenovo T16 icore 7 155U, 32Gb ram and 2tb storage. Graphics is integrated.
I thought I mentioned that in the video? Basically it was an impulse purchase. Best buy had an open box for almost $1K off. So for that price i couldn't find a new or used pro art with anywhere near similar specs and I didn't want to spend an extra $500 for the pro art. I decided the downsides of the ram and screen and thin chassis were were worth it for that price point to get the GPU and a decent cpu, though I would still prefer the amd version of the same laptop. Overall it wasn't the best decision I've ever made, but it wasn't the worst either. It still does most everything I want it to do, and I will definitely make good use of it for a decently powerful travel laptop. Plus, once I got a lot of windows, power, and software settings tweaked, it runs a lot better now, which might be a future video because windows does some weird stuff with power management and GPU settings that are highly disadvantageous for creators.
@ i’m sorry, yes you did mention that in the video. A future video on the software settings for windows would be really great. Thanks so much for your detailed reply and for your channel .
@hilarie4 no worries, it was a long video...😅 I'll be surprised if anyone actually watches/ listens to the whole thing. I'll work on that other video and hopefully have it out in the next month or so.

Dude! This is perfect. I’ve been looking at laptops. This helps a lot because I wasn’t sure exactly what specs I needed.
I'm glad it helped! 💻
Thank you thank you!! In the market for a new laptop and you have shed light on much for me. Thx again.
You're welcome, I'm so glad it helped!
The Apple M4 laptops are basically the only way to go these days.
Just went back to PC from Mac. The i7 is a beast.

Oh nice! Let me know how that works out, especially with the Adobe ai denoising and that iGPU performance.
Why didn’t you go with the Asus G16 ProArt instead of the Zephyr G16?
