Switching to the P14s Gen 5 from T480

I hear you. I’ve a similar experience: recently I switched to a p14s gen5 amd and my previous laptop was a t470s. I miss a lot the old keyboard, the magnesium body, the build quality and the lightness. Performance wise it’s a huge jump (I really don’t feel the need of having a desktop pc anymore) bu

How I doubled the P14s Gen 5 AMD horrendous battery life...

He used Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word, Notepad, and deleted System32. It was finally achieved through deleting System32. I did it and it worked really well. He did it and it worked really well to improve battery life of the P14s Gen5. Other users also reported doing the same with great results. De

Provocative question for Thinkpad users - why choose a Thinkpad over a Mac at a higher level of specifications

First thing I'd point out is a very flawed premise. At the higher levels of specs, mac doesn't even HAVE laptops to compete with the specs of ThinkPads. Find me a Mac laptop that has 4TB internal storage like my P14s Gen4 AMD AND my P14s Gen5 AMD. Find me a Mac laptop that has 64GB RAM. I'll wait...

help meeee what ThinkPad should i take

I just bought a P14s gen5 AMD, And do not advise picking the E because of materials. I like the T and P materials much better.

Thinkpad T14s Gen 6/ Ultra 7 258V - touch vs non-touch?

If the information on the PSREF is accurate, that touch model uses the 45% NTSC display that has AWFUL dull colors. You can probably tweak them a bit and make it useable but that display is not great. I have the same display on my P14s Gen 5 AMD and, like I said, I tweaked the color temperature, cra

Issue when trying to turn on thinkpad

Not saying that its the same thing (it probably isn't), but that's exactly what my P14S G5A was doing before/while it fried itself last week: https://imgur.com/a/fried-p14s-gen5-amd-nKWIIdb The manual says its just memory training

Best thinkpad for college?

These are the outgoing P14s Gen 5 models and they're being discounted because the new Gen 6 is coming out next month. The RAM on these is swappable so you can start with 32GB ($1300+tax) and then upgrade to 64GB down the road if you need to do heavy simulation. But I think you'll be fine on 32GB for

P16s Gen 2 Amd won't wake from sleep

Ahh, another day, another AMD laptop not waking up from sleep... If you already have all the drivers updated through windows update/Vantage, it's odd. There was a new graphics driver released this month. I faced this same issue on my P14s Gen 5 AMD like a year ago, but then I switched to the drivers

thinkpad t14 g6 worth it!

I think I understand what you mean, but I believe you either got a lemon or maybe a conflict with a driver/firmware. Did you update the WiFi drivers from Intel's website?? I usually update the OEM drivers myself instead of relying on Lenovo. I have a P14s Gen 5 AMD and I update almost everything I c

EE Laptop Recommendation

Senior EE here, I would say 16GB of ram is the bare minimum, I switched from 16 to 32 recently and it’s worth it but definitely not needed. You don’t need a dedicated GPU, I do a lot with SolidWorks (not for any EE classes) so I have one and it helps for that but we don’t use software that requires
