HP EliteBook 845 G7/G8 with Ryzen 3 APUs as an upgradable alternative to ThinkPad T14s Gen 1/2, Dell Precision 3530 as a cheap alternative to the ThinkPad P52, and the ThinkPad L15 Gen 1 AMD, if the price is right. For the best imaginable value, you should look for Dell Latitude 5490 and 5590, which

You want this, don't you? If so, then just get a ThinkPad L15 Gen 2. Your overlords have decided that you don't get to buy any new hardware for cheap, so you can choose to not pay their bribe and stay on an affordable platform that they can't get to.

I remembered that screencap of Linus Torvalds bashing NVIDIA and then putting a middle finger to them XD Jokes aside, the L15 Gen 2 AMD sounds like a solid machine for casual use and light gaming due to integrated Radeon graphics performing well on selected titles. Dang, I wish I had an AMD model Th

I am personally using two different ThinkPad, T14s gen 2a at home and L15 gen 4a at work. I prefer the T14s much more as it runs smoother and I rarely hear fan noise (even with charger).

Since you mentioned nothing on the OS, I'm going to assume you're planning on using windows. You also didn't specify a budget, which is a major point in guiding you to a suitable device. I'd mainly aim for: ThinkPad L15 - the cheapest of the bunch. Usually great price/performance ratio, fully expand

I've had the ThinkPad L15 Gen 2 for 3 or 4 years and it works perfectly... the battery is even still in excellent condition (I work as a sysadmin), and the usage is practically intensive!

Did you open the laptop up from the corner? Consider getting an HP EliteBook 855 G8 or ThinkPad L15 Gen 2 with Ryzen 5450U or 5650U processors as your next laptop, because they're built better than this.

I also found a Thinkpad L15 (Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U/16/256/Vega 8) option for an extra 25€, but I don't know if it will be better quality for me. (it`s also with a touchscreen) And a Lenovo ThinkPad L15 Gen 4 | Ryzen 5 PRO 7530U | 8GB Ram | 256GB SSD for the same price but the battery life is 2-3 hours a

Surely you applied the settings and all? Have you checked the voltage before and after in HWinfo64? If the maximum voltage (after resetting the stats) in HWinfo64 gets much lower (from 1.23V to 1.10V for instance), then it works. But it may work too well, and your undervolt may not be too stable at
