Dream laptop

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.

What kind of specs do you buy for standard users?

I have lenovo x1 carbon the best laptop I had experience with. Personally I have a p16 v version for heavy compute. I have used dell precision and business edition. Not fan of HP. But I moved myself to AVD.

Some mfs said "E series = E-Waste"

Part of it is they're pretty much made by a completely different company. Most ThinkPads (T, X1, X, P, L, Z and probably also the X9 to get their intrusive thoughts out) are designed and engineered by Yamato Design in Japan, a design firm that has existed since the IBM days. They also make a lot of

Comparison between the best

ThinkPad P16 Gen 3 with Core Ultra 9 285HX and RTX 5000 Pro P series, but not the -s models, those are rebadged T14/T16 besides few exceptions Depends on the market, your budget and performance needs.

Engineering Laptops for Engineering

Used/Refurbished Lenovo ThinkPad P series. Check Lenovo Outlet, eBay, etc. On eBay I see quite a few P16 models available in your price range. Personally, I would buy a P16 Gen 1 or 2 off eBay. Avoid the P series models with the -s suffix (ex: P16s) as those are not the same. If you get a workstatio

2 SolidWorks users on one RTX 2000 Ada – can a single GPU realistically be shared?

There is no good way to handle this why not buy a cheaper / older gpu. You’re going to lose more time on money, support and licenses to run all of this then actually buying a 2nd machine. I would just buy a ThinkPad P16 Gen 2 (16” Intel) Mobile Workstation something like that

DPWH Bumili ng 5 Laptops worth 930,000 Pesos

Looking for new laptop (looking for suggestions from oldheads)

I used a lenovo P14 when i was working in industry. Did a great job... my suggestions would be the P series (ThinkPad P16) if you want it as your daily workhorse, I found the T series a bit under-powered. I think the X series are also typically pretty good as well. Would at least get the 14 inch scr
