I mean the screen is worse on the Mac, the P1 Gen 8 is a tandem OLED 4k screen, the Mac screen is just a well tuned IPS, also I am really surprised Macs got that heavy compared to what is considered a workstation Lenovo machine.

ThinkPad P16 if mostly on desk, P1 gen 8 if you need a bit more portability. Desktop if it doesn't need to be a laptop, much more power for your money.

FWIW, I actually quite dig the P1's overall design, but I'm personally really not a fan of the keyboard direction as of late. This is maybe a nitpick, but the new font and lower-case on everything besides the core letters reminds me of what I remember with HP, and I just don't think it looks good on

Alright, let me first explain the different ThinkPads and what they are for so you know what you are choosing. T series classic all-rounder, great keyboard, decent repairability, no real dGPU. Safe daily driver. Built for buissness. X1 Carbon thin/light flagship. Gorgeous screen and build, but solde

Panther Lake is a marked improvement over Arrow Lake. That being said, nothing wrong with Arrow Lake, and the P1 Gen 8 is a great choice for a productivity machine. The main reason to wait would be if you need 5G, as that is a feature Lenovo newly (re)introduced on the P1 Gen 9.

The top-end T1g/P1 models trade battery life for raw performance. I find the Ultrabook Plus model to be a good all-rounder, even for CAD with fewer part counts. All packages are decent deals considering the warranty. Personally, I would wait until the summer for the Lenovo P1 Gen 9 to become availab

Skip all the hype brands. Durable laptops with good Linux support are made by only 3 companies: Dell, Lenovo and HP. Discard all other options. Imo the absolute best laptop you can buy right now is the Dell Pro Max 16 Premium. See this video. Skip the GPU as always unless you really need it. Worthy

The OP asks about "longevity, performance and customization" specifically these 3.So, performance = Pcustomization + longevity = full-sized P (not ultra slim models like P1, which is X1 rebranded as P)performance + customization + longevity = P16 Also, it should be noted that the closer the design i

I personally want a T1G which is a P1 with consumer graphics. Just the idea of a gaming capable ThinkPad really does it for me. I have an X1E gen 2 with a 1650 which does the trick for now. But I do want something newer eventually. Possibly will look to buy at the end of next year when this year's m
