Good data.！ The comparison with the data of the notebook computer and desktop computer I tested before is as follows:

Dual graphics cards have three modes - DGPU mode, HGPU mode, and iGPU mode. I think it should be as follows: 1. Only in iGPU mode, TBT5 is not output by DGPU. 2. Only in DGPU mode, eDP is not output by iGPU.

In 2024, Titan 18, Raider 18, and CreatorPro 18 only differed in their body casings. Then, the three shared the computer motherboard. There were differences in the RAM slots and SSD slots on the computer motherboard. The cooling systems of Titan 18 and CreatorPro X18 adopted a vapor chamber and had a 400-watt power supply. Raider 18 did not adopt a vapor chamber and had a 380-watt power supply. Now, in 2025, the power supplies are all 400 watts. So...

Titans18 HX AI 2025 has four SSD slots, one of which supports PCIe 5.0. If I were to use it, I would choose one of the following three arrangements: 1. Enable VMD mode, install the operating system on the PCIe 5.0 SSD, and use the other three PCIe 4.0 SSDs to form RAID 5. 2. Enable VMD mode, install the operating system on the PCIe 5.0 SSD, use two PCIe 4.0 SSDs to form RAID 1, and install a spare operating system on another PCIe 4.0 SSD. 3. Disable VMD mode, install the operating system on the PCIe 5.0 SSD, and use the other three PCIe 4.0 SSDs freely. I will definitely not assemble a RAID with PCIe 5.0 SSD and PCIe 4.0 SSD together.

Thank you for sharing! Very nice photo! MSI： You need 4 M.2 SSDs, right? I'll arrange it for you, PCIe SSD5.0 also comes with a heat sink! You don't accept 3600 MT/s of memory, do you? I cut off two memory slots with a single blow and went straight to 6400 MT/s! Me： Ah ah ah! I still need four memory slots!

Well, it makes sense So, you can purchase a minimum configuration Titan 18 (285HX+5080), and then connect the TBT5 to the RTX PRO 6000-96GB……

I did not conduct any actual testing on this matter; However, in HGPU hybrid mode, based on the following diagram and my speculation, I believe HDMI is connected to a discrete graphics card.

MSI CreatorPro X18 switches between DGPU, HGPU, and iGPU modes, and can only take effect after restarting the computer.

Personal opinion, for reference only: I think that the ThinkPad P16 Gen 2 comes with the TrackPoint system, which is its first major advantage. The second advantage is that its keyboard should be the best of its kind, and it is easy to disassemble and install, making it easy to maintain. The third advantage is that the performance of the CPU and GPU can be basically the same as that of the 17-inch DELL Precision 7780 in the same configuration. The drawback is that there are only two SSD slots and no RJ45 LAN ports.

Personal opinion: I have always liked the TrackPint System, but not only is Dell gone, but HP laptops have long since lost the TrackPint System. Even Lenovo ThinkPad released the ThinkPad X9 series without the TrackPint System. DELL's Precision series and Latitude series, strictly speaking, did not disappear, when changed the name to continue to exist -------- Precision is now called Pro Max Plus, Latitude roughly corresponds to Pro Plus? The XPS series is roughly equivalent to Pro Premium.

你说的这些资料，都是第三方服务商的利润来源之一（可以理解为是他们的商业机密），所以目前只接受用户将电脑交给他们进行恢复的操作，而没有公开这些资料。 从理论上而言，这些并不是太具有深度的技术，我们自己反朔、反编译也能得到。 The information you mentioned is one of the sources of profit for third-party service providers (it can be understood as their trade secrets), so currently only users are accepted to hand over their computers for recovery operations, without making this information public. From a theoretical standpoint, these are not very in-depth technologies, and we can also obtain them by decompiling and decompiling them ourselves.

Due to the official new ThinkPad, there is little hope of returning to the classic seven-line layout keyboard; and the TrackPoint System function and comfort seem to be weakened again and again; even the latest release of the ThinkPad X9 series without the TrackPoint system at all. Based on the above objective reality, there are folk third parties, recently launched to meet the needs of some ThinkPad old users, the author has been looking forward to another replica of the main board: X210Ai! History of the main board The ThinkPad replica main board developed and produced by the folk spontaneously has a history of many years, as follows: • In 2012, the T50 replica main board based on the ThinkPad T4 * series was launched; • In 2016, the X62 replica main board based on the ThinkPad X60 and X61 (followed by X63); • In 2017, the T70 replica main board based on the ThinkPad T60 was launched; • In 2018, the X210 replica main board based on the ThinkPad X201 (followed by X2100); • In 2022, the T700 replica main board launched based on the ThinkPad T60. X201Ai in 2025 At the beginning of 2025, the X210Ai replica main board based on the ThinkPad X201 was born. The motherboard in the original ThinkPad X201 can be removed and replaced with this new X210Ai main board, which can be transformed into one: • Using Intel Core Ultra 7 165H CPU, • Support Thunderbolt 4, • Built-in two M.2 SSDs, • Built-in wireless Bluetooth, • Built-in WWAN 5G; • Can be upgraded to a 13-inch or 13.3-inch high-resolution screen; The new performance models, while still maintaining the ThinkPad classic seven-line keyboard and excellent comfortable TrackPoint system of the small steel cannon laptop! X210Ai Timeline • 2024.06.11, formally establish the project and determine the main board specifications; • 2024.08.08, the main board layout design is basically completed; • 2024.09.15, the main board circuit design is basically completed; • 2024.10.24, PCB proofing is completed; • 2024.11.02, the main interface and chassis compatibility test passed; • 2024.12.09, the patch is basically completed; • 2024.12.11, the main board is successfully lit; • 2024.12.12, initially successfully ran on the windows system, and officially launched the crowdfunding; • 2024.12.17, initially passed the system stability test; • 2024.12.18, start developing a new sound card small board, and will optimize the PCB design at the same time to better install the M2 hard disk on the wwan port; • 2024.12.20, Thunderbolt 4 test passed; X210Ai layout and interface X210Ai specifications • 1. The CPU adopts Core Ultra7165H processor • 2. One full-speed M.2 interface • 3. Memory interface dual channel DDR5 slot • 4. One Thunderbolt 4, one full-featured C. • 5. Replace the VGA interface with the commonly used standard HDMI • 6. The EDP screen cable interface adopts I-PEX to directly match LG13 inch and LG13.3 inch • 7. Keep the original screen cable interface function • 8. Test the normal charging and discharging function of 4-cell, 6-cell, and 9-cell batteries • 9. Try to choose longer TYPE C interface materials or PCB extensions that can be flush with the D shell after installation • 10. The USB3.0 interface in the lower left corner is expected to find the positive plug. Anti-plug is a bit anti-human. • 11. The fan interface is moved 5MM to the middle from the original position to facilitate the transformation of the radiator • 12. Anything that needs to be optimized can be brought up before mass production. Official photo of the original ThinkPad X201:

No TrackPoint, keyboard layout overhauled: ThinkPad X9-15 Gen 1. My temporary comment is as follows: X1 and P1 continue to move forward with the pointing stick and keyboard layout! X9's new keyboard layout without a pointing stick pays tribute to Apple? P9... cough... cough... 😈

yes. I really like MSI WT75, I have been using it for over 4 years. I particularly like the WT75's support for three M.2 and two 2.5-inch SATA hard drives, and I have a high demand for the number of hard drives in my laptop. Moreover, the CPU and GPU of WT75 are all modular and replaceable. I have upgraded the CPU of W75 to the highest Xeon E-2288G and GPU to RTX 5000, and will arrange to upgrade to RTX 4090 (150W) in the future. WT75 can continue to work for me for 5 years.

I will analyze and speculate on the issue of three fans in the cooling system of Max 18 in Part 6.
