hi, may i know the thermal pad thickness and size, my laptop was only have 1 thermal pad on the left side , while the main ssd is losing it’s thermal pad 😀
I’m curious about the 60W GPU limit on this model. There are any possibility of Nvidia change this in a future update? Or this is something that Lenovo controls? Or they probably won’t change that? Seems insane you advertise the laptop with a up 140W and limit it to run at less than half of that.
Read the review, in particular the section on the Vantage software.
