Finally upgraded! P1 Gen 2 4K OLED

Nice find! The P1 Gen 2 is one of my favorite ThinkPads. The keyboard is so good! But yeah, people will chew you up for showing that you have Windows on it. That’s why I don’t post in this sub so much anymore. Use whatever OS you want, and enjoy your machine!

I want Linux to work, really I do

rage inducing bugs. This. I recently tried Ubuntu on my Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 2. On paper, the perfect Linux device: Intel Coffee Lake Refresh, not to new not too old (good 5 years), workstation grade. Turns out the touchpad is unusable due to a bug that's known since years, making the scroll speed

FACTS

Recently someone said it was no wonder that the touchpad on my ThinkPad didn't work correctly¹, after all it's my choice of Ubuntu LTS! So literally the most known Ubuntu Desktop distribution in the long term stable version, lol. And the ThinkPad was the probably best case Linux machine, ThinkPad P1

The Lenovo Thinkpad P1 Gen 5 is the worst device I’ve ever owned.

Like, ThinkPads don't normally go bad, but it is a pain in the ass when they go. I had a P15 Gen 1, which as flawless. Sold and god an P1 Gen 2 with the 4k screen, and problems were constant. Battery life, was mediocre but that was the 4k OLED fault, but the major problem came in a way of BIOS updat

Worth it ? ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 2 | 4K OLED | 40GB RAM | 1TB SSD | Workstation

I mean I have cheaper laptops from 20yrs ago that still work. For $600 I would not buy a X1 Extreme Gen 2 (which is basically the same as my P1 Gen 2). You can go to BestBuy or whatever and buy a $600 brand new Lenovo laptop that isn't a Thinkpad that will spank the hell out of the X1E Gen 2. It won

Help me buy a Thinkpad!!!!

Look for A ThinkPad P53 or P15 G1, yeah they're 15inch, not 16inch and they're heavy, but they have GPUs and can game. If you'd rather have a lighter carry then look for X1 Extreme or P1, gen 2 and 3, they're the same chassis, just one has Quadro graphics instead of GeForce. If you must have a 16 in

Not only is this wrong the laptop i have now ive had for 6 years because a beautiful trans woman picked it out for me

I'm a techy person so I actually spend time figuring out which is the best I can get for my money. How I came to have a ThinkPad P1 gen 2. Sure, the battery needs replacing, but this was one of my responsible purchases.

P1 gen 2 trackpoint only moves vertically

I have a P1 Gen 2 and I agree with this, however, Vantage does not work that well for these older machines. I've had to go to support.lenovo.com and manually download newer drivers.
