Unfortunately, the physical connectors of those are non-standard and not available in (consumer) markets. Once any of the connectors is physically broken with unrepairable way, no way to fix it other than sending it to "official" repair services.

Wow! I didn't know lenovo made Apple products!
Muxless I think. I would prefer having a hardware mux or everything wired to dGPU, but I've only seen muxless and generally was fine (power saving fine Windows, and fine Linux with nouveau pre-Turing D3 stuff). I've only ever had gaming laptops like this, was plugged-in most of the time, and preferred NVIDIA's I think non-reverse prime thing and just throwing all rendering on the dGPU
(had lowest latency and least amount of pci/power mess for max perf)I have an Asus ROG Zephyrus G14, an AMD Advantage laptop that supposedly does have a mux, and a dGPU (Radeon RX 6700M). It functions just like that Alienware laptop, BTW. If not for the N-Key keyboard not being supported under FreeBSD, it would have been my daily driver.Muxless I think.

Interestingly I've seen a dual-graphics Alienware laptop where you can't disable the NVIDIA dGPU nor use the Intel iGPU directly even though the iGPU shows as a display adapter (built-in display and HDMI port are dGPU-wired); it's conveinent but odd
I feel like the notion that the ME is a backdoor is (mostly) a conspiracy theory. Many people (including me) screen their internet connection with whatever they have like a firewall or something, and have not noticed weird connections. I think it id a terrible design, which combined with RMS and his tinfoil-hat-brigade, has spooked people. That said, I think it is a security vulnerability, but not a secret NSA plot.

TBF, the actual (easily accessible) backdoor is the AMT module of the ME, and on decent hardware that crap (as well as the whole network stack of the ME) can be disabled.
You won't. It has full access to the TCP/IP stack and can send packets independently of the OS - bypassing any firewall.
It's a bit of a whack-a-mole game. Eventually people figure out how to disable it in new versions of the Intel firmware...only to have to do it again for the next version.

I'd typo on that layout for a while without left Ctrl, arrows, or even Escape
But that a cool device!
Unfortunately only 640K RAM. But hey, it's enough to talk to chatgpt on...I'd typo on that layout for a while without left Ctrl, arrows, or even Escape
That sounds pretty cool if the batteries would be conveniently as-replaceable as ripping apart a car battery if I needed to (and didn't just have a 120V inverter or something
)
