Im looking at the yoga pro 9i. I do video as well as photo and some gaming on the occasion I have free time. For the lack of pen support, I'm actually looking at picking up a refurb galaxy tab s8+ and using it as a cintiq or extra screen when working on my computer but with the benefit of having something super portable to take on lunch breaks or to meetings for taking down quick notes on the go or whiteboarding. The yoga pro 9i just seems like it offers the sweet spot of the hardware and features you need most with the SD card slot, accurate display, second m.2, connectivity, thermals, etc. that's really what I value most in my lifestyle is something that covers the most bases for the best price.
@@cordovanhobbyist895 yeah the battery isn't great, but I'd rather give that up than the color accurate display, dgpu, refresh rate, etc. My reasoning is that I can fix battery by supplementing with a power bank, a light a GaN charger, or with using a tablet when I'm just consuming media, writing emails, or taking notes on the go. Being said, im not buying until black Friday so if anything better comes up I'll take it
I have what I think is the ULTIMATE mid-priced Mobile Studio Workstation. ASUS Vivobook Pro 16X OLED (K6604JI). 3.2K 120 Hz. i9-13980 24c 32t, RTX 4070. User upgradeable to 64gb RAM & 2tb Storage. 🔥
Have you reviewed the MSI Summit E 16 evo 2 in 1 from costco? The model my costco is selling is A1MTG-021CA. Intel Ultra 7-155H 32gb ddr5 1tb m.2 Windows 11 home Stylus comes with it. Thanks 👍
I think he meant heading into 2025 😅 but I always watch your laptop videos it gives a lot of information which laptop will be a great option for me. Because I want to use a laptop for Graphics but also for some light gaming with my little brother such as Fortnite but Mainly for using Adobe illustrator and Photoshop
It's true that a dGPU is not necessary but Ps, LrC and Affinity are going in the direction of taking more and more advantage of having a dedicated graphics card. Last time I was playing with the AI in Ps it took 8.8 GB of vRAM of my RTX 3060 (+3.9 GB of shared GPU memory). Something to think about.
Ben, if you are going to do the review of ProArt vs GG16, just know the 4080 is alot better then 4070, and so you would probably need one to get the best G16 experience
🤔 Ben, the budgets are not worth it. They're not even color accurate or meet the minimum srgb how could you even list these? I have a yoga 7 slim ultra 7 155 h OLED. $929 at BH
