ps. oh I didn’t see that ‘physical keyboard placed on lower screen’ pic before – that’s also a very handy hack

Thanks Phil. Obviously a ‘single landscape screen’ mode would have a huge hinge and bezel in the middle, but still! Though, actually, 2x portrait screens is really handy for productivity stuff i.e. work

I’m working through the physical configs you can use.
Yes, you can turn it sideways to 2 x portrait screens – At this point, I haven’t seen a way to make it behave as a single screen that way round.

(let me know if I’m not clear here)

It really is quite delightful to use.
An for ref: there’s 3 x USB-C

1 on the left, 2 on the right.

Looking at the photos of it, the only thing I’d like to have seen Lenovo do, is put a second webcam into the hinge bar, so there would be a second webcam at a more normal height, when it’s in dual screen with external keyboard mode.

No discrete GPU is what I think would be the biggest weakness for this laptop, as that sounds like it would limit what it can do in the area of video content creation.

A single 512Gb SSD, as the stock option on a laptop like this, that is just so WRONG. A 512Gb as OS, and 1TB SSD as second drive should be the base config.

1 USB C port for everything is valid on a phone or tablet, but on a laptop, 2 ports at absolute minimum.
