After 7 Years with Intel UHD, I Got This Beast with a 4080 and an i9 14900hx - Love It 😭

Lenovo Legion Pro 7i too strong, so happy! :partying_face:

Looks like a Keychron K3.

Congratulations! But remember to undervolt it to prolong its lifespan.

I did a -40 mv undervolt; made a big difference!

Since you have all those pens, are you smarter than a 5th grader?

No, they’re just there to give the appearance of intellectuality.

If you don’t do heavy GPU tasks outside, you could get a desktop for gaming and a tablet for notes, right?

Yeah, but I like the vibe of this beast.

I love the Legion looks! It’s like a gaming ThinkPad.

@Blaine
Yeah, I also got a light 13-inch ThinkPad for school. Love this little one with its 2k 400 nits touch display; it runs like a champ even after 7 years.

And guess what? You still use Intel graphics! :joy:

When gaming, the 4080 renders and passes frames to Intel, which handles the display. Otherwise, the 4080 shuts down to save power, and Intel renders the interface.

@Blaine
Not with the Mux Switch! I turned that lil MF off :smirk:, so no Intel here.

Oooo, down with the switcheroo! In my machine, the mux sucks, and my external monitor is connected to my 1650.

@Blaine
For me, in Device Manager, the only GPU is the 4080—no more Intel Iris anywhere.

@Blaine
Higher-end mobile GPUs have software mux switches. I’ve seen it on MSI and Aorus with 3070ti and 3080.

Mine might have one, but it’s not a proper mux; it’s done in the framebuffer, which isn’t great…

@Blaine
It’s worth studying! Not many pay attention, but each manufacturer handles it differently.
