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

В одно окно смотрели двое...

У меня был Thinkpad P1. Это ещё мощнее, чем X1. До сих пор есть, но не пользуюсь уже, поскольку сыпется он - то одно отвалится, то другое. Гомно. Никакого Lenovo больше.

End of an era: Why the construction of the Lenovo ThinkPad P16 Gen 3 is so significant

I am not too happy with my P1 gen 6 as a long time user. The thunderbolt port is problematic in Linux, the keyboard has failed for no reason after 3.5 years of usage, and the flaws of the design make it suck more dust in between the motherboard and the keyboard than on the bottom. The performance ha

Switching from 2019 MacBook Pro - Need ThinkPad recommendation around $1250 for heavy multitasking

I've used T-series Thinkpads as my daily PCs since my T400 in 2009. Typing this on a T14 gen 2 AMD 5850U with touchpad upgraded to glass from an X1 extreme gen 1. This will likely be my last T series unless Lenovo upgrades touchpad quality. I also own a X1C Gen 9, which I don't use as much due to th

White Cloudy Patch at right bottom of Lenovo P1 Gen 8

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.

I replaced the FHD display in my X1 Extreme 2nd Gen to a 144hz panel

Thanks for the answer :) I am using the thunderbolt 3 workstation dock gen 2. The dock itself is working properly since it does not give any issue with my X390. I already checked the screen refresh and it was set to be 60hz all the time, in fact the screen going off and on was not related to unplugg

Good laptop for robotics degree between 1000-1400$?

That is a solid option. Never heard of them before. Neither from internet, nor friends or even AI. They really give an ability to customize RAM and SSD and some other modules. Not GPU or CPU though (it will be too good to be true). Moreover these modules are cheaper than shop variants now. If I had

Dock station for P14S G2 AMD

Nope I've seen it is from 2022, I know it is not updated automatically, I remember updating it (time ago)... keep in mind that I have been trying to solve the issues (having to unplug a monitor almost every time I start the PC it's not good at all) so I tried to update that thing too... It's really

Dell to Lenovo?

I am going to write you my 6 year experience with lenovo laptops and docking stations. We use P1 as a power laptop, and currently T16 as a light laptops. Everything was fine until cca. 2021 then the problems started with the F**** docking stations. Instead of the old ones where the laptop would lay

Switched from Fujitsu to a Lenovo P1, First Week Impressions

my OLED display is defective but while I've had it here for almost 2 months evaluating it, I found they forgot to remove the film from the thermal pad on the factory installed NVMe. My touchpad doesn't scroll like every other laptop at the store today including my Thinkpad P1 Gen 2, so its also most
