    The vast majority don’t need dedicated graphics in their notebooks. It would be a waste of money and energy

      Even so, you would think the option would be available on the more expensive machines but it isn’t always.

        No, you wouldn’t think so. Producing a model that’s available with optional dedicated graphics makes no sense. With notebooks every gram and millimeter counts so you would want different models for integrated graphics and dedicated. Which Lenovo has plenty to choose from.

        If Lenovo made my X1 Carbon thicker and heavier just so you could have an optional dedicated GPU I would be pissed and buy something else. That’s what the X1 extreme is for

          It doesn’t need to be a Thinkpad. It just needs to exist.

          Why is this even an argument? We’re discussing normalizing Linux in the public brain. So, tweak a Legion for compatibility. Whatever. So long as 1 option for each purpose exists to get this OS out there and push back on Microslop in the process.
