Post by: tp4tissue on Thu, 21 July 2016, 16:30:07

Finally had some time to look into the newest gen of laptops of late..

My favorites series x2xx,  now more crippled than ever..

Single Channel Memory configuration

Yea dude.. I am heartbroken ...

they did the same crap on the x250...


Basically for the n00bies,  without dual channel, since this is Integrated INTEL HD gpu,  you lost 20-40% GPU performance.. and anywhere from 5-10% CPU performance..


WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY

And the 240.
It gets better... The 250 and 260 are ULV processors and wear the Ultrabook badge. I know how you love them so much.

We need an x280  Epic Edition..

Bring back the Old Blue-Enterkey scissor keyboard w/rgb modifiers.

The cover and palm rest should have the RGB IBM logo.

It should also have a discrete Nvidia 940 mx w/ 4GB dedicated ddr5

2560x1600 16:10 ips, factory calibrated to 6500k..

Dual channel 32GB DDR4 3000mhz support, none of this 2133mhz gimp..

DUAL independent exhaust fan for gpu/cpu

a slot for PCIE nvme 2280 size card.. like the 950pro
