ThinkPad P1 Gen 2

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

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

Then try to get it fixed by Lenovo. What do you expect Reddit to do? EDIT: Though very much YMMV. I have tried to get minor gripes with screens fixed first on my Dell XPS 15 9560, then my ThinkPad P1 Gen 2. It never really got solved. But it did take a lot of calling and service visits.

The OLED screen also uses more battery. So if that isn't a concern and you will be at 50%+, the OLED might work well for you. I also keep my machines a long time. My P1 Gen 2 was new from Lenovo, so maybe its 8 years old now. I don't have faith the OLED screen will last that long.

yes of course .. Lenovo doesn't start designing entirely new motherboards etc without a commitment to the product and price for the long haul. I just paid LESS for my P1 Gen 8 than I did for my P1 Gen 2 8 yrs ago.
