ThinkPad T1g Gen 8 Arrived!

I'm a huge fan of the center keyboard 16" ThinkPads. Hence my picking of the P1. These newer models and the T1G look so nice. I'm wondering why Lenovo dropped the 1600p 165hz display in g8. 1200p at 16" feels good, and I have one 16" with it, but content density isn't as good.

Any Good Build Quality Laptops with As Good Keyboards as on Thinkpads But Also NICE Displays/Sound?

You can option Thinkpads with very good screens. Most lines are available with top-of-the-line display options - OLED and IPS. Even the cheap E-series can be specified with a 120Hz, 100% sRGB 2.8k screen these days, and any T- and P- series can be had with color-accurate hi--res display options. P1

EU/IT Linux Laptop, what to buy?

Skip all the hype brands. Durable laptops with good Linux support are made by only 3 companies: Dell, Lenovo and HP. Discard all other options. Imo the absolute best laptop you can buy right now is the Dell Pro Max 16 Premium. See this video. Skip the GPU as always unless you really need it. Worthy

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

Should i get a thinkpad p1 gen 6

Screw the MacBook, go for the ThinkPad. MacOS updates are always a f*cking mess with any 3rd party tools/apps - especially Python (brew-installed) versions. I've always been biased against Apple products since they make repairs unnecessarily difficult and costly. Steve Jobs was a hacker and a modder

Can anyone recommend a laptop without PWM and TD ??

Depends what you want but I love my Lenovo P1/X1 Extreme Older models 15.6” newer 16” nice choice of IPS with high resolution, 4K ones are great if you want great clarity. Battery life isn’t greatest but they are very thin and one of the lightest laptop available with a dedicated GPU.

The All-New 2026 Yoga Pro 9i 16 Looks Really PRO!

Lenovo applied the same Tandem OLED of the YP9 in the ThinkPad P1 Gen 9. But it was matte version or has anti-reflective coating on it. A review revealed that this caused graininess and less clarity. I agree it is convenient for usability concerns, still glossy panels make things look crisp and a bi

What ThinkPad should I buy...

Go with the ThinkPad T1g (same as P1, with different GPU options), Gen 8. I got the full maxed out version with the 64GB LPCAMM2 ram module. Smooth as butter. From my order post: I had a chance to test this laptop further: fan had a minimum noise to almost no noise during youtube video watching, som
