Yeah but then it isn’t as light (but 250 grams is nothing tbh). The 64Wh one is 888 grams. Still less than a kilo which is very impressive. Just under 2 lbs.
I also hate the lack of USB ports now. That’s about average for the “nice” laptops of this day and age. I hate juggling around my peripherals bc I don’t have enough type c ports. I do hope it’s a barrel plug for charging and not only USB C pd.
In my experience, USB c is soldered to the main board while the plug is a small module thats attached to the module. It’s easier to replace a small module than replace a whole USB c port. Ideally it’d be on a seperate board too. But it might be a bit more complex.
My sister broke one of the two USB c ports on her Thinkpad and if the second one breaks (both support charging), I can’t fix it easily without sending the motherboard out for repair and spending like $200.
Edit: you can support both USB c and DC plugs. My laptop can (HP pavilion).
Power delivery is just as likely to to be soldered to the motherboard as it is to be on a daughter board. It just depends on the particular model. This is for just about every brand.
I still prefer lenovos square shaped charger ports over just about any other tbh.
That battery is way too small. I prefer to have a 100WH battery. It definitely needs a couple more USB ports and an SD card reader.
Yeah, 80-100 Wh with a Lunar Lake or any modern AMD CPU. 35 Wh with meteor lake of all things is a joke.

Wait, you’d prefer a rando barrel plug to a standard USB-C PD?? Why?
