That’s freaking amazing, basically half of the typical 14’'.
Probably unrepairable, no upgrades?
Can you imagine having a 31 Wh battery for a meteor lake part?
Also it may be light, but it isnt thin – it says it has a whole RJ-45 port! But other than that the IO is unusably limited.
That battery is way too small. I prefer to have a 100WH battery. It definitely needs a couple more USB ports and an SD card reader.
Yeah but then it isn’t as light (but 250 grams is nothing tbh). The 64Wh one is 888 grams. Still less than a kilo which is very impressive. Just under 2 lbs.
I also hate the lack of USB ports now. That’s about average for the “nice” laptops of this day and age. I hate juggling around my peripherals bc I don’t have enough type c ports. I do hope it’s a barrel plug for charging and not only USB C pd.
Wait, you’d prefer a rando barrel plug to a standard USB-C PD?? Why?
In my experience, USB c is soldered to the main board while the plug is a small module thats attached to the module. It’s easier to replace a small module than replace a whole USB c port. Ideally it’d be on a seperate board too. But it might be a bit more complex.
My sister broke one of the two USB c ports on her Thinkpad and if the second one breaks (both support charging), I can’t fix it easily without sending the motherboard out for repair and spending like $200.
Edit: you can support both USB c and DC plugs. My laptop can (HP pavilion).
Power delivery is just as likely to to be soldered to the motherboard as it is to be on a daughter board. It just depends on the particular model. This is for just about every brand.
I still prefer lenovos square shaped charger ports over just about any other tbh.
