Lenovo India | Upcoming Variants→ Extra Discounts
India: Specs to customize and price breakups if you're getting the Extra Savings
+ Always add the Wifi 7 Upgrade if under 1k
+ 4k: ADP Compulsory. ADP ()
GPU: 5070 is 15% better than the 5060: if you have the extr budget, get this upgrade before getting any other upgrades below.
Other Upgrades(More details about choices in the attached instagram links just below the images):
3k: RGB+Office: Completely Optional. You can get Office if your work depends on having a genuine license.
RAM: Stick to 16GB. Extra 16GB is too expensive.
Main SSD Upgrade: Can get 1TB if you have money, only a little bit expensive but worth it if you have the money.
Secondary SSD Upgrade: Doesn't make sense. Ignore.
Note: The extra money to get RGB Keyboard and WiFi is Rs.3000
5070 +Wifi
5070 isn't that much more priced than 5060 in this laptop. Try to get 5070
GPU: 5070 usually better than 5060 but is more expensive in this laptop
RAM: Don't pay more to Lenovo
In UK, you have to pay £90 for Windows and £120 for Office Home 2024 when you can easily get the same from Microsoft directly and that license will not be tied to the mothearboard of the laptop
you're using but to your account.
These license from Laptop Companies are OEM licenses and can't be transferred so it's tied to the current machine.
It's better to get your own license and activate it and when and if needed transfer it to other PCs.
Also, fuck subscriptions and don't get the Microsoft Subscription at all.
Pretty Clear from the title. Get the Wifi 7 as it's only a little more than the Wifi 6.
Don't get any extra software bundles like Adobe or something or any antivirus.
Get the maximum possible battery although I only see 80Whr as standard.
Both cameras are terrible but it's okay to spend a bit more for the less shit one.
Accessories from a laptop brand are usually shit and so stick to reputable brands when it comes to accessories like Mouse, Mouse pads, etc...

Also, the backlit RGB keyboard is completely upto you. I will however say you should try to get better hardware specs in other parts before thinking about this.
Update: There really isn't data on this specific laptop as it was just announced. From other laptps having this CPU it looks pretty good and the tempeartures are a lot better than the 275HX while pulling less wattage but that result is based on other
laptops. So this review is going to be halted for a few weeks so that there are enough laptops in the market before I get back to it.
My instinct based on the 8945HX variant of the same chasis is that this will be another great performing CPU but will require some tuning so that the CPU doesn't overheat
however that tuning will not impact the performance as much.
Until actual reviews of the CPU on this laptop is here, these will do:
The Dawn 16S also splits “Turbo Mode” into:
Extreme Mode
Competitive Mode(similar to JiaoLong 16 Pro's "High-Power Turbo" and "Silent Turbo")
There's also a Game Mode in between.
Extreme Mode:

CPU+GPU stress ~65W+140W, CPU 86°C, GPU 83°C
Noise ~52.5 dB, 1-2 dB quieter than JiaoLong 16 Pro
Downside: Keyboard surface gets just as hot, middle area up to 56°C, hotter than JiaoLong
Competitive Mode:
CPU stress starts at ~110W, later drops to ~100W, 95°C
CPU+GPU stress ~45W+140W, temps around 83-84°C
Noise ~48 dB
Surface temps remain the same
Game Mode:
CPU stress ~75W, 76°C
CPU+GPU ~45W+120W, CPU 88°C, GPU 80°C
GPU-only stress ~130W, 83°C
110W CPU stress test and temps 85°C
CPU+GPU→ CPU 64W @ 74°C
