“All the reviews came out today and said this laptop is severely power limiting the CPU at 28W, which is making it good on battery but as slow as the previous gen iGPU 780M. Will there be a bios update soon to fix this problem? Needs 50W like proart”

There is no power issue related to this laptop model. It is certainly capable of running efficiently, without compromising system performance, for what it was designed and intended as a productive and helpful device for your daily computing needs. The CPU has adequate power to run most popular computing applications smoothly.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you want more power available for the CPU/iGPU, you shouldn't be considering a laptop that's 0.47 inches thick. The power limit was applied because this laptop is so thin. Get a thicker laptop.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Joshua’s answer is on target and most reviews condemning its gaming performance are at least partially innacurate. First, the AI 365 models have 4 big cores plus 6 little cores (you should prefer AI 370 CPU with 8 little cores (12 total) if you actually wanted to exceed last-gen CPU power). Second, this has the 880m iGPU which is fine for light gaming on some games. But on heavy duty games you still need a beefier real GPU of the caliber of a 5060+ and this model lacks a true GPU. So does last gen’s equivalent. So there is no bios fix. Other products are available with a AI 370 or better CPU and a thicker chassis with better power supply/cooling that do somewhat better on intermediate gaming w/o a true GPU, but you need something bigger than this iGPU to handle the most graphically intense games.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.NO, all the reviewers are saying that there is not enough power going to to iGPU 890M so it is performing very poorly, in fact beat out by your last chip's 780M and Intel's ARC. This iGPU is supposed to be MUCH faster, but giving it HALF the wattage is wrong and broken in the bios. Games are slower than last years chips.
