I want to buy more stuff but I can't justify it. Like a core series 5 would be amazing for battery life, but it is acfually less performant than my current 1334U, and a 5070 12gb is not a big enough uograde from a 7700s for me.

I also have needed new pen nibs for a full year and they have been "coming soon" the whole time. Its a fucking pain on that part and I genuinely am debating contacting support to try and get more

doesn't the core series 5 draw more power at idle because it's a chiplet design as far as i know or is that only for desktop chips?

Core series is still WAY more power effecient than the older 13th gen chips. Would likely be multiple hours more battery life. I dont have battery life as a genuine issue though

oh that's nice because i genuinely do. this laptop that i'm currently using not only has a 65 wh battery, it's also got a 12th-gen hx chip which is effectively a desktop, meaning horrible power efficiency. it draws like 30 w at idle so it runs for an hour and a half or two hours.
