TECHCRUNCH.COMNvidias CES 2025 keynote: How to watchNvidia will no doubt have the biggest CES 2025. After all, the company has pretty much the biggest everything nowadays. The chip giant is sporting a $3.4+ trillion market cap, due largely to its foundational position in the ongoing AI boom. Companies like OpenAI and Meta have purchased Nvidia processors by the boatload, and thats unlikely to change in the new year.Founder and CEO Jensen Huang will help kick off CES 2025 on January 6 at 6:30 p.m. PT/9:30 p.m. ET, with his trademark leather jacket and an unwavering vision, per Nvidia. The keynote will be livestreamed both on YouTube and via the chipmakers site. As our CES 2025 preview notes, their matchup against AMD, whose stream takes place earlier Monday, will take center stage at the event.Nvidia is expected to make a slew of big announcements at the event, with its RTX 5000series GPU making the biggest waves of the keynote and, likely, the whole show. Huang will no doubt also be using the platform to discuss a wide range of topics touched by Nvidias silicon, from AI and robots to automotive and more.0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 62 Visualizações

TECHCRUNCH.COMPeter Thiel-backed venture debt firm Tacora raises $268.7M for new fundTacora Capital, a Texas firm that specializes in venture debt, has raised $268.7 million for its second fund, according to a new SEC filing.Tacoras inaugural fund in 2022 raised about $350 million, including $250 million from Peter Thiel the prominent Republican billionaire and investor in what was considered an unusually large investment for Thiel, Bloomberg reported at the time.Its not clear if Thiel is involved in Tacoras most recent fund: All thats disclosed in the filing is that it has 28 (unnamed) investors. Tacoras founder and CEO, Keri Findley, declined to comment on whether Thiel invested. Representatives for Thiel didnt immediately respond to TechCrunch.Founded in 2021, Tacora is based in Austin. Findley was first introduced to Thiel through his VC firm, Thiel Capital, when she worked as a partner at hedge fund Third Point, according to Bloomberg.Findley told TechCrunch the new fund reflects the successful deployment of the inaugural fund and demand for flexible, non-leveraged financing solutions.Venture debt firms loan cash to startups and other businesses, instead of buying their equity like traditional VCs. This kind of financing can be attractive to founders who need money but dont want to dilute their ownership. Tacora specializes in lending to businesses with capital-intensive needs, like fintech and hardware companies, Findley told TechCrunch.(Findley declined to give examples of specific companies it has backed so far.)The risk with venture debt, of course, is that startups which often burn cash arent able to pay their loans back. Tacora says it only backs loans against specific, strong assets owned by well-positioned companies according to a press release for its first fund.0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 61 Visualizações

BUILDINGSOFNEWENGLAND.COMMyron Norton House // 1840The Myron Norton House, built in 1840, is located in the central village in Goshen, Connecticut. Built of stone, the house is unique as the only example of a stone house in the village, and the only Greek Revival house that departs from the usual gable-roofed form, having a square plan and hipped roof with monitor. The home was built for Myron Norton (1788-1853) and his wife, Caroline (Marsh) Norton, who outlived her husband by 23 years, living here until her death in 1876. Myron Norton made his fortune patenting and selling pineapple cheese molds, where he pressed the curds from local cows in wooden pineapple-shaped molds to give them the desired shape. It is the house that cheese built!0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 61 Visualizações

WWW.FORBES.COM3 Ways To Avoid The Romeo And Juliet EffectBy A PsychologistIs your child dating someone you cant stand? Heres why voicing your disapproval might only ... [+] strengthen their relationship.Getty ImagesAnyone who has ever had a teenager knows that defiance comes with the territory. As they establish their identity and autonomy within their families, teens are primed for a certain degree of rebellion, and their romantic relationships are no exception. Often, well-meaning parents can become public enemy number one if they disagree with a relationship.As a parent, its your job to voice whether or not you feel your teens partner is good for them, but your disapproval can fuel unhealthy relationship choices. Sounds counterintuitive, right? This is the heart of the Romeo and Juliet Effect, a psychological phenomenon coined by Richard Driscoll, Keith Davis and Milton Lipetz.In their classic study, research on 140 couples found that parental interference in their relationships only intensified feelings of love. Named after Shakespeares star-crossed lovers, this effect reveals how teenage relationships can become more potent when parents push back. The good news is that understanding this effect can help parents navigate their teenagers romantic relationships more effectively.Here are three ways to avoid the Romeo and Juliet effect when dealing with young love.1. Allow Them To Learn From Their MistakesTeenage defiance is less about the relationship theyre in and more about the teenagers need for autonomy, respect and emotional validation. Teenagers are navigating a pivotal stage in life where they yearn to make their own decisions, caught between feeling grown-up and still being guidedor restrictedby others.MORE FOR YOUThis is especially true when it comes to relationships. Research published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin shows that couples in socially marginalized relationships display higher levels of commitment, but not due to higher levels of investment or relationship satisfaction. This suggests that teenagers who perceive challenges to their relationship may compensate with higher levels of commitment, even if their hearts arent really in it.The shared experiences of external challenges only serve to create stronger emotional connections. If your teen feels they are fighting against outside forces, their relationship can become a protective sanctuary. In fact, parental disapproval can be interpreted as one of the most substantial challenges to a teenagers emerging sense of self, triggering a defensive response.However, this does not mean parents are powerless. Try not to take the fact that theyre going against your wishes personally. Rather, remember that their new-found confidence is a quest to establish a strong personal identity.Additionally, approach their choices with empathy and curiosity. Allowing them to reflect on how their relationship dynamics make them feelwhile reminding them that youre always there for themis more effective than a stern confrontation about what theyre doing wrong.Unless its physically or emotionally dangerous, the best thing you can do is to allow them the dignity of their choice. Let the relationship play out, and do your best to support them along the way.2. Be A Good Role ModelParents deeply influence their childrens romantic choices, often without realizing it. Being cognizant of this impact can help them make better choices for themselves, and their kids.A 2020 study published in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships shows that a childs experiences with their family of origin shape their future relationships. Researchers interviewed 35 young adults and found that children follow their parents example in relationships when they perceive them to be good role models.However, if they are viewed as poor role models, their children feel compelled to find partners that help them to avoid replicating the unhealthy patterns theyve seen growing up. They may also prematurely try to form a family of their own, committing to their partner at a young age, often seeking the love and affirmation they did not receive from their own families.3. Avoid The Us Against Them MentalityParenting can be frustrating, but even if youre constantly butting heads with your child, remember that you both want the same thingtheir happiness.Most teens feel like theyre not being heard when trying to get their point across to their parents, which can be demoralizing. A 2021 study even suggests that positive parent-teen communication is associated with lower rates of teenage depression. So, whether you agree with their relationship or not, communicate with them in a way that shows them they can always talk to you.For instance, rather than asking questions like Why are you even with this person? try asking, So, what do you enjoy about your relationship? This approach shows curiosity rather than criticism, making teenagers more likely to open up. It also allows you to watch for any red flags that could jeopardize your childs health.With poor or judgmental communication, the alternative is that they will start to view their partner as the only person that understands them. This can be detrimental if they are in a relationship with someone who is a bad influence.Remember, your relationship with your child needs to be nurtured for a lifetime, whether or not your teenagers romance ends. Navigating their relationships is a delicate dance that requires patience, empathy and understanding. There are no perfect solutions, only opportunities for continuous learning, growth and adaptation.Each interaction is a chance to build trust and strengthen your connection, so choose to embrace them rather than turn them away. Even if you both disagree, trust that youve set them up to make good choices, and show them that youll be there to catch them if they falter.Can you come from a place of empathy for your childs relationship choices? Take this science-backed test to find out: Affective Empathy Scale0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 58 Visualizações

WWW.TECHSPOT.COMNintendo Switch 2 alleged motherboard leaks, patent confirms DLSS upscaling-like techHighly anticipated: The pace of leaks surrounding Nintendo's next-generation handheld has intensified in recent weeks. Some are anticipating an imminent official unveiling of the Switch 2 and new material has reignited years-long speculation about the device's performance and functionality. While leakers agree on certain details, any information not directly from Nintendo should be taken with a grain of salt. New photos of an alleged Switch 2 PCB emerged on Reddit on New Year's Eve. Around the same time, the US Patent Office published a document from the company describing machine learning-based upscaling functionality similar to Nvidia RTX graphics cards and the PlayStation 5 Pro.Although the motherboard images don't conclusively reveal hardware specifications, they align with prior leaks and rumors regarding the upcoming handheld. Meanwhile, the patent confirms that Nintendo has at least explored enabling AI-assisted upscaling on the Nvidia chip powering the so-called Switch 2 console.The document, filed in 2023 and published in late 2024, doesn't explicitly mention DLSS Nvidia's upscaling technology that has significantly improved over the past few years and PC gaming performance along with it. However, it does describe a similar technique utilizing Nvidia's tensor cores.The functionality would use neural networks to resample images from 900 x 540 pixels to 1080p, from 1080p to 4K, or combinations of resolutions in between. Nvidia's technology has shown impressive results on PC over the years but remains untested on portable devices with limited power budgets.Interestingly, the Nintendo patent also indicates that upscaling could reduce a game's required install size. A game with assets designed for 4K resolution could theoretically use upscaling from 1080p to reduce its file size from 60 GB to 20 GB. Assuming the Switch 2 utilizes proprietary game cards like its predecessors, the technique could help larger titles avoid substantial download requirements. // Related StoriesNintendo has so far confirmed only two details about its upcoming hardware: the device will be revealed before April 1, and it will be backwards compatible with Switch games. However, leakers have shared additional details from sources within the manufacturing supply chain.The device will likely feature 12 GB of LPDDR5X RAM, an 8-inch LCD screen, and magnetic attachments for Joy-Con controllers. Additionally, recent mockups of the Switch 2's design are believed to closely resemble the final product.While the device is expected to utilize a chip based on Nvidia's Ampere architecture, precise performance metrics remain elusive. The new PCB photos may raise more questions than they answer. Earlier information suggested the chip is based on Samsung's 8nm node, though a 6nm or 5nm SoC offering improved performance and battery life is also a possibility.0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 58 Visualizações

WWW.DIGITALTRENDS.COMLenovo ThinkPad P16 Gen 2 review: a true mobile workstationLenovo ThinkPad P16 Gen 2MSRP$5,614.00 Score DetailsThe Lenovo ThinkPad P16 Gen 2 is a very fast workstation, but it has some significant downsides for the cost.ProsExcellent productivity performanceStrong creativity performanceWide range of optionsSolid build qualityTons of portsConsExtremely expensiveThick and heavyPoor review display qualityTouchpad is too smallTable of ContentsTable of ContentsSpecs and configurationsDesignKeyboard and touchpadConnectivity and webcamPerformanceBattery lifeDisplay and audioA laptop that youll only want if you really need itWe dont typically review laptops like the ThinkPad P16 Gen 2. It exists in a category solely for creative professionals working at large organizations a commercial PC designed with performance in mind above all else.Recommended VideosI was curious though: How does this stack up against more mainstream devices? Ive reviewed a number of laptops over the last few months aimed at balancing efficiency and performance in thin-and-light chassis. A few are legitimate contenders to make our list of the best laptops, but none provide the kind of performance that gamers and creators require.RelatedAre one of those a better option for IT departments than a traditional workstation like the Lenovo ThinkPad P16 Gen 2? After all, its thick and heavy, but it packs in more powerful components aimed purely at speeding through demanding workflows and with some gaming thrown in. You wont want to lug it around, and while the ThinkPad P16 delivers its promised performance, it just costs too much for almost everyone.Lenovo ThinkPad P16 Gen 2Dimensions14.3 inches x 10.5 inches x 1.20 inchesWeight6.5 poundsProcessorIntel Core i5-13600HXIntel Core i7-13700HXIntel Core i7-13850HXIntel Core i7-14700HXIntel Core i9-13950HXIntel Core i9-13980HXGraphicsNvidia RTX A1000Nvidia RTX 1000 AdaNvidia RTX 2000 AdaNvidia RTX 3500 AdaNvidia RTX 4000 AdaNvidia RTX 5000 AdaRAM32GB64GB128GB192GBDisplay16.0-inch 16:10 4K+ (3840 x 2400) IPS, 60Hz16.0-inch 16:10 4K+ (3840 x 2400) OLED 60Hz,16.0-inch 16:10 QHD+ (2560 x 1600) IPS, 165Hz16.0-inch 16:10 FHD+ (1920 x 1200) IPS, 60HzStorageUp to 2x 4TB SSDTouchNoPorts2 x USB-C with Thunderbolt 41 x USB-C 3.2 Gen 22 x USB-A 3.2 Gen 11 x HDMI 2.11 x 3.5mm audio jack1 x SD card readerWirelessWi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3Webcam1080p with infrared camera for Windows 11 Hello facial recognitionOperating systemWindows 11Battery94 watt-hourPrice$2,519+As is often the case with laptops offering a ton of configuration options, its not always possible to buy every given combination at a given point in time. As of right now, the $2,619 base model has an Intel Core i7-14700HX CPU, 32GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD, an Nvidia RTX 1000 Ada GPU, and a 16.0-inch FHD+ IPS display.My review unites has the same CPU, RAM, and storage but upgrades to an RTX 4000 Ada GPU and a QHD+ IPS display, and its priced at a whopping $5,614. The biggest jump is in the GPU, which by itself adds $1,560 to the price. The most expensive model is a truly stratospheric $10,453 with a Core i9-13980HX, 192GB of RAM, two 4TB SSDs in RAID 1, an RTX 5000 Ada GPU, and a 4K+ OLED display. Again, the GPU upgrade is very expensive at $3,050 over the base model and the RAM adds $1,120.Those are very expensive prices, no matter how you cut it. Youre getting a laptop thats designed to meet the very exacting requirements of applications like AutoCAD where rock-solid reliability is vital, and youre paying a premium for that level of certification. If you dont care about that, then you can get an equally powerful gaming laptop like the Lenovo Legion 9i Gen 9 for less, or even an Apple MacBook Pro 16 that can get quite expensive, but not this expensive.Mark Coppock / Digital TrendsI was a little shocked when I pulled the ThinkPad P16 Gen 2 out of the box, because its so much larger than any laptop weve reviewed in a long time. This is a proper mobile workstation, through and through.Its larger even than most gaming laptops, particularly in its 1.2-inch thickness and 6.5 pound weight. The Asus ProArt P16 is another powerful laptop aimed at creators, and its considerably smaller even with its own large 16-inch display. Not only is it thinner and shallower but its a lot thinner at a maximum of 0.68 inches and lighter at 4.08 pounds. The last gaming laptop we reviewed, the Lenovo Legion 9i Gen 9, is roughly as large in width and depth but thinner at 0.89 inches and lighter at 5.51 pounds.Those two are also very powerful machines with great performance, so its a little harder to justify the ThinkPad P16s sheer size. My wife uses an Alienware M16 thats also very powerful, and it feels a lot smaller. But the ThinkPad P16 does offer a great thermal design that moves a lot of air around, and its more expandable than many laptops with the ability to equip dual SSDs for faster storage performance. And Lenovo built the laptop to achieve Independent Software Vendor (ISV) certification, which relies on stable performance to ensure reliability for professionals. But is the ThinkPad P16 too big? I think it might be.Its also constructed of plastic with glass fiber on the outside, with a magnesium shell internally. Its quite robust, with no bending, flexing, or twisting in the lid, keyboard deck, or bottom chassis. But it doesnt feel the same as many other laptops in the same price range. The Apple MacBook Pro 16 is an example of a laptop that exudes a feeling of higher quality, even if its no more robust than the Thinkpad P16. Probably, the plastic was used in part because its already 6.5 pounds, which is pretty heavy. If the chassis were all-metal, it would only be heavier.The aesthetic is rather bland. Most laptops have a minimalist design today, with very little if any of the bling of several years ago. But the ThinkPad P16 takes that to an extreme, with almost no character whatsoever. Its a dull gray with boring lines, and its only saved from being downright fugly by a couple of the usual ThinkPad splashes of red. Its there in the dot on the i in the logos on the lid and palm rest and the TrackPoint nubbin embedded in the keyboard.But it doesnt follow either the old-school black-on-black ThinkPad aesthetic or their newer, more modern look. And then theres a red strip along the lower edge of the back chassis. Gaming laptops and the MacBook Pro 16 are either more exciting or more elegant.Mark Coppock / Digital TrendsThe ThinkPad P16 Gen 2 has Lenovos non-ThinkPad keyboard, oddly enough, which is shallower than the ThinkPad version but has the same large sculpted keycaps and lots of key spacing. The switches are light and snappy, although the bottoming action isnt quite smooth enough to rank as one of my favorite keyboards. As usual, Apples Magic Keyboard remains at the top of my list.The touchpad is a mechanical version thats OK. Theres the TrackPoint nubbin embedded in the keyboard as a nod to ThinkPad fans, but its two buttons take up space from the touchpad. That makes the swiping surface even smaller.As is usual with large laptops like this, theres plenty of connectivity. Theres a mix of modern Thunderbolt 4 ports and legacy connections, along the side and the back of the chassis. The power connector is proprietary. Wireless connectivity is one generation behind.The webcam is a 1080p version, so it meets the new standard. Its fine. Theres no neural processing unit (NPU) on board, so the ThinkPad 16 cant take advantage of todays AI with a fast but efficient chip. The GPU can be used, though, and it will provide very fast AI processing at the cost of more power usage.Mark Coppock / Digital TrendsThe ThinkPad P16 Gen 2 uses Intel Raptor Lake CPUs in the 13th or 14th generations. That iteration has had some issues with instability that Intel has been working on, specifically those rated with a TDP of 64 watts or higher. Thats something to keep in mind. My review unit used the Core i7-14700HX, a 55-watt part with 20 cores (eight performance and 12 Efficient) and 28 threads, running at up to 5.5GHz Max Turbo frequency. Its a fast and power-hungry chipset that provides very good performance for demanding creative and, e.g., engineering applications.It also uses the Nvidia RTX 4000 Ada GPU, which is aimed at those professional applications and, as mentioned above, is ISV-certified and so it provides some assurance that its performance will be reliable. This part is the main difference that comes with a workstation product like this you cant find it on consumer mainstream laptops. The RTX 4000 Ada uses the latest CUDA, RT, and Tensor cores for fast performance and houses 20GB of GPU memory with advanced AV1 encoders. Its not optimized for gaming, but it performs a lot like the GeForce RTX 4070 and in some cases like a 4080.The ThinkPad P16 does very well against a variety of other machines Core Ultra Series 1 chipsets and the RTX 4070. It also kept up with the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. Its particularly fast in single-core tasks, and the RTX 4000 Ada churns through Cinebench R24.Most telling among our benchmarks is the laptops performance in the Pugetbench Premiere Pro benchmark that runs in a live version of Adobes Premiere Pro and can utilize the GPU for faster performance. Its one of the fastest laptops weve tested, coming in behind the MacBook Pro 16 with various CPU optimizations that help out but GPU cores that arent quite as fast. Note that I included results from the MacBook Pro 16 with the previous-gen M3 Max; the M4 Max was recently released and is likely to be even faster.Simply put, the ThinkPad P16 is a very fast laptop for professionals, and it can be even faster with a Core i9 CPU and an RTX 5000 Ada GPU that rivals the GeForce RTX 4090. Whether its fast enough given the high price comes down more to whether you need an ISV-certified laptop because your livelihood depends on rock-solid reliability.Geekbench 6(single/multi)Handbrake(seconds)Cinebench R24(single/multi/GPU)PugetbenchPremiere ProLenovo Thinkpad P16 Gen 2(Core i7-14700HX / RTX 4000 Ada)2,843 / 16,20051120 / 1,206 / 17,2617,684Asus ProArt P16(Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 / RTX 4070)2,690 / 14,45549114 / 1,208 / 11,4216,451Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i 16(Core Ultra 9 185H / RTX 4060)2,426 / 14,40654112 / 1,115 / 10,4156,112Dell XPS 16(Core Ultra 7 155H / RTX 4070)2,238 / 12,83673102 / 895 / 10,4775,433Samsung Galaxy Book4 Ultra(Core Ultra 185H / RTX 4070)2,331 / 13,381N/A106 / 985 / 10,5695,669Asus ROG Zephyrus G16(Core Ultra 9 185H / RTX 4070)N/AN/A110 / 1,069 / 11,4755,115Alienware m16 R2(Core Ultra 7 155H / RTX 4070)2,366 / 12,707N/A103 / 1,040 / 10,8845,590Apple MacBook Pro 16(M3 Max 16/40)3,119 / 20,86555140 / 1,667 / 13,1468,046When you have a laptop with these kinds of components, youll naturally want to consider playing some games. The RTX 4000 Ada isnt aimed at gaming and it doesnt use the standard Nvidia gaming-oriented drivers. But even so, its a capable gaming GPU.To begin with, it scores 15,993 in the 3DMark Time Spy benchmark, which is faster than the usual RTX 4070 score of around 11,000. In fact, the Alienware M16 with an RTX 4080 scored 17,659 in this benchmark while the Legion 9i Gen 9 with the RTX 4090 score 20,293. That places the ThinkPad P16 closer to the RTX 4080 at least, in this synthetic benchmark.Looking at a couple of real-life gaming benchmarks paints a similar picture. The ThinkPad P16 hit 102 frames per second (fps) in Assassins Creed Valhalla at 1600p and ultra-high graphics. Thats a bit slower than the 114 fps hit by the Asus ProArt P16 with its RTX 4070. In Cyberpunk 2077, the Thinkpad P16 managed 74 fps at 1600p and ultra graphics with FSR 2.1 enabled, compared to the Legion 9i Gen 9 at 106 fps. So, the RTX 4090 is a lot faster. With ray tracing turned on, the ThinkPad P16 hit 60 fps compared to the Legion 9i Gen 9s 88 fps.Ultimately, youll be able to run modern titles at 1600p with graphics turned up at least as well as an RTX 4070.Mark Coppock / Digital TrendsTheres a large 94 watt-hour battery packed into the ThinkPad P16, but also some power-hungry components and a large, reasonably high-res display. You dont expect great battery life from a laptop like this, and you dont get it.I saw just 4.25 hours in our web browsing test and around five hours in our video looping test. Those are pretty bad, but then I got just 42 minutes in our Cinebench R24 test that runs the CPU at full speed. That means youll need to carry around the very heavy power brick to get any real work done away from your office. That makes for well over 7 pounds to carry around, making this a less-than-portable solution.Mark Coppock / Digital TrendsLenovo offers several display options for the ThinkPad P16, all 16.0 inches in the 16:10 aspect ratio. You can get FHD+ (1920 x1200) IPS, QHD+ (2560 x 1800) IPS, 4K+ (3840 x 2400) IPS, and 4K+ OLED. The QHD+ IPS panel, which was on my review unit, runs at up to 165Hz, while the rest are limited to the more pedestrian 60Hz. I think QHD+ is just sharp enough at this display size, although I prefer 4K+ for the sharpest text. Subjectively, the display was good but not great but Im very spoiled by reviewing so many excellent OLED and mini-LED displays that are spectacular out of the box.When I tested the display with my colorimeter, I ran into some issues. Lenovo includes the X-Rite Color Assistant utility to select various factory calibrations, and none of them provided very good results. The best result came from the Not calibrated setting, and those werent very good at all for a laptop intended for professionals who tend to demand a display with wide and accurate colors. Those results were very poor, at 99% of sRGB, 76% of AdobeRGB, and 77% of DCI-P3, which are just average for IPS displays today. Color accuracy was terrible, at a Delta-E of 7.19, and Gamma was way too bright at 1.7 (2.2 is standard and the vast majority of todays displays hit that value).The display was bright at 498 nits and contrast was good at 1,100:1. But no matter which calibration I selected, the colors were just unacceptable. The worst value came with the Rec. 709 setting thats supposed to be optimized for video work, at a Delta-E of 11.88. That just wont cut it. Thats bad enough that there may something wrong with my review unit, but thats the data I collected from my colorimeter.Lenovo may just need to do some work on those settings or my review unit might just be a dud. But when you spend this kind of money for a laptop, you expect better. Im sure the 4K+ OLED display is excellent, and that would certainly be my choice if I bought the ThinkPad P16.Audio is provided by two upward-firing speakers, and theres plenty of volume with clear mids and highs. But bass is lacking, so youll want a pair of headphones or a Bluetooth speaker for anything more than YouTube videos and system sounds.Professional workstations like the ThinkPad P16 Gen 2 are invariably expensive because of the engineering needed to be ISV-certified, and professionals who rely on them to get paid can justify the price to gain the highest possible level of reliability. Theyre not always the fastest options unless youre using an application that takes direct advantage of the capabilities of a specific component.The ThinkPad P16 is definitely very expensive, and its likely very reliable for that select group of buyers. The performance of the commercial GPU is also really impressive. But its also almost unreasonably thick and heavy, and its not that much faster than less-costly alternatives (or at all). Meanwhile, the display on my review unit was very disappointing. Even those who demand ISV certification can likely find a better alternative.Editors Recommendations0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 57 Visualizações
